Great info and honest experiences. I have to agree on the narrowness of it. Could have gone to 42 inches and been a major improvement. Too many computer functions right down to starting it. All convenient until the thing won't start or the parking brake won't disengage on a job and the machine is stuck.

Now you have all fine, metal dust, and sanding material all around the mechanism of the hammer. You did not cover those areas and that desk is in there now you have to high pressure wash it with something like. a powerful cleaner that will wash everything out, but you still won’t get it out of the bearing surfaces that’s in there until you take it apart. You have to take the hammer out and clean the bearing surfaces of the hammer because that’s where all your grit is going to be, you’re gonna have a premature wearing of the hammer which most cases you have to replace the gun. The proper procedure if you wish to do is to remove the hammer. Bob Hammer for your Smith & Wesson can be bought anywhere on the Internet. Who knows Smith & Wesson may already have a Bobed Hammer for it so all you have to do is disassemble it and insert a new hammer, lastly the hammer has weight and that weight helps the force that used to hit the fire thing and you just eliminated a lot of that weight precision that has been more important than what you did. I don’t see why you have to have the hammer Bob in the first place. It’s not necessary, what do you think you have a thumb for. God gave me thumbs or Smith & Wesson revolvers.

The entire purpose of this machine or an MT100 or a toro or a vermeer is the 36inch wide stance, and to pack this amount of capability into such a small machine is amazing, if you want something less tippy you can use a sit in track loader Bobcat t450 or comparable.

I have this same generator but can't get it to start. New battery, and it fired up 3 weeks ago but today it will not turn over. Do you have any suggestions?

YOU......just ruined a perfectly fine weapon !!!

why would anyone buy such a deathtrap without rops/fops?

nice work

nice machine check out the barreto

For anyone watching to learn how to do this, take the fucking gun apart. For the OP, its your gun do what you want.

They rated this Machine at 1000psi. Not sure the weight of this log, but it barely off the ground and starting to tilt; any further and it would have went over. Well, at least you know the limits. Cool little machine!

Have you had any issues with the pins that lock the attachments in place. one of mine only moves easily 80% of the way then i have to tap it in place with a hammer

I’d love to see a follow up video on how you like the machine so far after using it + direct comparison vs your old Kubota - did you trade it in or kept as a second machine?

thank you for sharing! I have a pretty similar 200 XP, trying to get the feed torque arm detached from the motor but stumped how to remove the cylindrical piece (coupler?) from it, I removed the bolt that, I think, is similar to the tapered pin that you removed. I call them shear bolts for the fact that it will shear instead of messing up the feed roller shaft.

Wow, yeah. Glad I steered away from this mess of computer co trolled plastic sounding crap. Disappointed in Kubota.

Why did you go with the 1050 vs a Vermeer CTX100?

Keep the videos coming! How do you like the 1050 compared to the scl1000? Pros and cons of each?

What grapple? Happy with it?

What was the part number for that seat? I went to that website and can't find that exact seat. Thanks

Heavy duty enough to grade a driveway?

watch me void my friends warranty haha

I just seen these at the dealer

It's so funny to me.. the small kubota tractor selling points always mention the metal hoods, but then these have plastic hoods lol

good review thanks for the info

Glad you were able to find the date, I personally enjoy it when I'm able to find some definitive information, facts, or interesting details about a vintage or antique item that I own, regardless if it's in the form of a date stamp, manufacturers manual, a magazine ad or article from the same time period that the item was made. In my opinion I believe that knowing this kind of information let's a person have more appreciation for an item, value the great craftsmanship, and marvel at how well something was was made to be able to last this long but still work perfectly fine and continue working for year's/decades to come. I actually have the same exact kind, 1780 tradesman Wilton but it might have been a Snap-On, technically it's exactly the same vise, same manufacturer (Wilton) only thing different is the sticker nameplate and a change of color. Mine says made in USA, its unfortunate that they don't make the tradesman vise in USA anymore, only overseas now, probably Taiwan or China and that's a shame. Anyways cheers 🍻 enjoy the awesome 😂vise.

Pull the Wilton 1780 vise jaw all the way out and flip it over, there will be a date stamped on the key slide, its the thing that keeps the vise jaw from rotating.

Thanks To You I Will Never But A Spool Gun 😂 Tig Torch Is Better. Amén.

I have an early model like you guys. I had several small issues that I resolved. Unfortunately now BOTH of the drive sprockets split in half literally. They cracked clean in half. Soon they will depart from the hydraulic drive units. A sad day. I absolutely love the machine when it works. Scared to buy another though with this major issue

Smooth polish on that hammer though

What type of log was that?

No no no no, hell no!

Take the hammer out of the gun, easier.

Beautiful

Tom, I always break the spanner wrench nut loose while it's still on the tractor, a lot easier that way. Good luck next time.

Ball joint press might make things easier in the future.

😂😂😂

Nice spool gun you got there. I've never used one, but I am looking forward to try. Since, I already have the welder (HOBART 210), I want to go for it. Thank you for sharing and take care my friend.👍👍

Hey looking into this machine!! Im mainly inside back yards and was wondering if you would feel comfortable going in and out of 42 inch gates with 7 or 800 pounds Appreciate any advice

I had the timberwolf with 36" ram. I LOVED that table tube pan, but splits firewood would get wedged in there, and bent it. It was kinda floating pan, to some degree. I LOVE seeing how you welded it, so as it wouldn't float. I'd give anything to have that made for my new Eastonmade 22/28 splitter. It has a flat pan, and debris goes into my totes :( kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3q8fnhobJuMoqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpPRpmyVhrt5fK8

Jankiest controllers I’ve ever seen though. Kubota usually does a good job with their machines….but for $50,000 dollars (which is outrageous) I expect better quality on some of the parts on these things. Those controllers are like their #1 failure too. Most people end up doing their own wiring and modification on them or else it’s just a constant cycle of replacing those controllers.

I actually learned a few things. Thank you love that you included the whole process. Mistakes, practice, etc.

Wish they put the number on the cly like JD does Easy to get correct kit every time 😊 I’m retired hyd mechanic and I like watching you’ll figure it out Good job 👏

First thing you learn working on hyd systems is make the line s

I tell my customers it’s best to rebuild both lift and tilt cylinder Pays off in the long run for sure in just wasted oil

I installed a heim joint on my F150 clutch push rod and I eventually took it out and went back to the original set-up. All heim joints squeak unless you lubricate them every 6 months. Also, before you convert to a heim joint you have to be sure you have an all metal pushrod as many of them are half plastic and will just snap off if you try to screw a heim joint on them. In addition, the set screw holding the joint on the pushrod worked loose and disappeared. I bought a new clutch lever and clutch master cylinder on Amazon for a total of about $50 and put it back to the factory setup with the plastic clip. I have 580,000 on my truck and I have only replaced the clip twice so far so I can live with that.

👍

My fisher plow just clicks when I hit the remote buttons. I cleaned all the connections new silinoid and still have the same problem

pretty brutal watching you operate that machine to be honest, jerking the losder, no control of the grapple, dragging tracks, knuckle loading the boom like that puts tremendous force on the loader, surprised it lasted 1000 hrs, typical tree guys

What a complete waste of money. What do you pay your guys for?

Yr supposed to take the hammer out for one of these jobs, Bub
