What Did You Buy Today?

Back in the 1980’s Snap On made a “close quarters” ratchet with a similar profile. The ratchet itself was the standard size but only needed to be turned 5* to reset for another pull. I’ve been out of that business for close to 35 years so I don’t know if anything similar is available today.

Wright has these ratchets available , I needed them for the paper plant .

What's a rear remote? Is that a lever for the valve for the three point hitch near the hitch hookup?

Yep. So, there is the control in the cab for the three-point hitch, but there is an additional lever in the cab that controls two hydraulic outlets on the rear of the tractor. I plan on buying a cylinder for the top link of the three-point and controlling it with that rear remote. That will allow angle adjustment of my land plan on the fly.
This tractor also has a lever on the back of the tractor that controls the three-point. This allows you to hook up an implement without opening the cab up to get to the lever. Super convenient!

I bought a Kioti CX2510,, and it was delivered today. I traded in my Kubota B2601 for it.

I sold my 7610 and now have a 7510 . Looking to move up to an L series maybe 39 HP . Was the Kioti in the same $$$$ range as the Botas ?

The Kioti is cheaper by a few thousand. For example, a Kioti CX2510 without a cab but with loader is about $21.5k. My Kubota B2601 is $25.6k today. To get a cab on the Kubota you have to move up to the LX series, and the horsepower starts at 33hp with cab and runs $41k. My Kioti, 25hp with the cab and loader was $29k. One could move up to the CK series in the Kioti which would be 33hp with the cab for $33k, which is actually an awesome deal. It is a frame size larger than the one I purchased. The salesman really pushed me towards that size but I wanted to stay in this smaller footprint.

The B7510 has the LA302 loader which is only good for 675 lbs or so . I can run the stump grinder on the PTO but that tractor jumps when doing a large stump ! I'm looking at a log mill in the future so more lifting is needed for some of these logs . I'll have to check out the Kiotis before I make a move .

I think the CX2510 is supposed to lift 1100 to full height. I have heard that it will do more than that, but I haven't confirmed. The CK series in the 26hp version lifts around 1300 lbs, but the CK3510 will lift 1800+lbs.
This CX2510 tractor is over 1000 lbs heavier than my comparable B2601.

There should have been a number punch set as well, but that wasn’t delivered for some reason.

I'm curious about that boring head. I can't figure out the tool holding arrangement from the picture.
Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but please post more photos that show how the cutting tool is held.

I had the same question myself Not sure if I can share the link to my other thread on here were I asked the same question and posted more photos:

Got some new tool holders through today. I ordered the AXA XL tool holders as they supposedly allow for larger tooling to be used as they have a thinne ‘shelf’ (probably the wrong term) section at the bottom allowing a lower centreline of the tool. Unfortunately even using the XL tool...

(Can you get to my other post through that link? If not, I’ll post the photos here)

This is the link to the item on the website: https://www.warco.co.uk/home/303525-boring-heads-2mt-3mt.html#/1399-end_of_line-4249_3mt

There is only one picture on there though and it wasn’t clear to me from the picture that this wasn’t a ‘normal’ boring head.
