Originally Posted By bansil: Interesting tractor, back story? It's a reversed wd 45 allis. The old timers say they were fairly common in the 60s. You see them around here fairly often still. Many of them are pretty crude. I have a neighbor that has one that he made as a school shop project that is very nice and I have always thought it would be fun to make one. But I have more projects than I could ever possibly do. This one showed up on Craigslist for $1500 so I sorta had to buy it. It has what I think is the axel and steering system from a Oliver combine and some very creative but primitive engineering to reverse the pedals. My understanding is that to reverse the drive they would simply flip the ring gear over but I have never had it apart so I don't know for sure. It gets around remarkably well and is way better for most loader work than anything that would have been commonly available in those days. It doesn't have the reach of a conventionally mounted loader (kinda like a skid steer) but it works very well otherwise . With what is available even to someone like me today I wouldn't want it for my only loader but if limited to 1960s and older machines it would be my first choice. I was having technical problems yesterday and I needed to feed. The old girl fired right up, drove out of the weeds and got the job done. I will try to get some more pictures posted tomorrow. |
Thanks for the ino

May not look like much, but this was yesterday. 200' shallow ditch. First to push yet another source of groundwater off the trail and second to divert water runoff from up above. Water was already bubbling up as I was leaving.  It connects with another longer ditch and then a culvert around that corner. Will get it all smoothed out next year or the year after once I am sure I have the water corralled. I really need an excavator. The backhoe beats a shovel, but moving every 8' gets old. Next year.

No crap! I tried doing the move shuffle thing (using BH to pull me)...f---- that....on flattish ground is was scary.....so yes the shuffle sucks...but!!!! A shovel sucks more

Just drove my UTV down there in the rain. Ditch is performing as advertised.  We've had way too much rain this year. |

The backhoe shuffle does get tiresome when doing a long trench. Most of my digging isn't long trenches though and when I am doing long trenches they aren't usually that long. I can use the backhoe to move the tractor but I often don't do it that way. I'd really like to upgrade my Kubota to an L47. It has that creeper toggle switch so you can move the machine back and forth at slow speeds while you have the seat facing the backhoe. No more flipping the seat around to reposition, or at least a lot less of it. An excavator would often be nice, but I don't think I can justify it. Sometimes having the backhoe and loader on the same machine can't be beat, especially when you're by yourself and/or need the backhoe capabilities but also need to be able to move material a distance. |
Gotta enjoy the little things.
|
When I know I have to occasionally do shady stuff with the backhoe-yanking, pulling, pushing I'll lightly plant the loader nose down to give me another point of contact with the ground. Helps avoid being dragged around, but requires me to get in the other seat to move. A construction type TLB would be quite a bit better. I've got so much planned trenching and digging planned and needed to manage water on this new build that the excavator is becoming a need. It's only money.

Hit the yard with a second shot of quinclorac for the crabgrass and tossed in some 24D for good measure. About an acre of our 7 sprayed. Attached File Last night tested out pulling some raised beds with new plastic mulch layer. Figured out what adjustments I'll need to make. Attached File |

There's a thread in GD where a bunch of guys called BS on a 25hp tractor having a loader lift rating of 2,000lbs. My boy and I did a little experiment on our farm with our TYM 2515R (manufacturer's claimed loader rating of 2,200lbs at the pins) to see just how much it could lift. The three concrete blocks weigh 700lbs each and the pallet forks weigh around 200lbs, for a total weight on the loader of 2,300lbs...however...all that weight is ahead of the pins, so in theory the loader shouldn't even be able to think of lifting that much weight. Disclaimer: we normally wouldn't lift this much weight on this tractor because we have other, larger tractors that wouldn't be stressed by this amount of weight.  TYM 2515R Lift Test |

I had no reason to disbelieve him. |

Built a woodshed over the weekend and finally started moving wood from my shaded rainforest of a side yard to the shiny new wood shed. The roof is three colors, not a single angle is square, and it isn't level but as long as she doesn't slide down the hill it will work. I hand processed and stacked four cords a couple years back before moving up here. It has been sitting stacked in falling over racks in the mud ever since. Got almost a cord moved today. Pacing myself. Also funny how many folks wave at you as you're going down the road on a tractor. Attached File Attached File |

Impressive specs for the tractor. I'd love to check one out, but no dealer near me. |

Never had a yellow jacket or bug issue. Only time I've seen a problem is a rental house that had the wood sheltered against the house. Had to keep the doors closed to protect against rodents. |

Played with my wood, drove through the side yard, and got my rocks off. *had brought a boatload of rocks down so my builder could pick what he needed for a retaining wall. Welp, I brought at least 10 buckets too many and decided to move it out of the way for the final dirtwork to be done. Now it's raining so I'm drinking some barley and hops flavored water.
