New Sun F 25x10-12 ATV tires on the Cub 3240, 8 gallons of WWF in each tire, redid the wheelweights to allow me access to the valvestems. Fabbed sleeve hitch middlebuster.
Nice build! I equipped my Sears Suburban 12 with 8” wide Kenda Executioners, filled with RV antifreeze, homemade lead wheel weights, 120lbs per side, and stock weights on top of that. Made a ripper from a large box blade shank. It’ll bury it over a foot deep. Looks like yours might need a bit more angle to hook in properly.
It's traction limited due to the loader weight. I can hang that same ripper on my 3225 with no ballast, ATV tires and a 3-pt hitch an it'll bury and pull it with no problem. Weird how much traction that loader weight removes.
I have. No real gain that I could tell. I also have problems with it pulling my box blade. The no loader 3225 has no problem with it either. Unfortunately the loader tractor sux for rear implements.
Outstanding machine. 💪🙂 I did a Johnny Bucket version of this on my 2006 GT2544 with joystick controls for the bucket and electric sleeve hitch. Always loved the Big Brother Hydraulic 3000 series. I think they made a loader for this one, the 812 model, but it's very hard to come by as is a clean 3000. You've done an amazing job with that loader hitch combo, great machine, never sell it. They don't make them like used you, like everything else. That thing is a beast! My tractor is on my other channel quantumphaser, this one's my gaming one😜 Cheers 🍻
Thank you sir. It's been a work in progress for a few years now. The loader does all I could ask of it. It is so useful with forks in the bucket and a pallet to haul brush on. I checked out your vids. Your 2000 looks to be set up well.
Yes, they are 4/4 boat trailer hubs. The spindles are long enough that the backing ring can be cut off and a new ring welded on to position the hub correctly. I use half of a 1" IDX1.25" OD tractor top link bushing as the new ring. I put the ring on loosely, put the assembled hub on and end retainer bolt on, turn it hub down, push the ring against the bearing and tack it in place. Then disassemble it and weld the ring solid. DOne.
It just tips forward and the headlight touches the lift cylinder. I can get at everything I need to without unhooking anything. On Cub 3000s the hood is just the white part and the hood sides come off with clips. They can also come off without unhooking anything.
The 25x10-12 tires are on narrower rims than this GT had originally. They are on 12x7" rims. The factory rims are 12x8.5" Mine were broken around the bolt circle and the ones on it are what I found locally for sale
@@mikechapman4767 Sorry so late to reply. I never got a notification on this and found this comment randomly. I haven't had a deck on it but some of the guys on MTF have had up to 26" on with a deck.
It sure is lol. Even with each tire with weights and liquid ballast weighing 200lbs. I currently have 270lbs on the rear hitch and it has helped greatly.
