Good idea! I have several ponds and hadn't thought about using the box blade for that. I actually have 2 donor box blades so I may just end up ordering 3 mounts - one to push with, one I can pull with plus one for the dozer blade. What thickness did you end up with, is it the full coverage type...

I have a T-250 and want to adapt a 3 point 6ft box blade and also a 7ft dozer blade made from an old road grader blade and oil well casing. Both tools will only be welded up in a fixed position with no tilt or angling involved and will be used on the farm for moderate/light duty to make some new...

Noticed a pool of an orange colored, non-oily liquid on the barn floor on my T-250 this morning. Has dripped enough to leave a small crater in the dirt floor in the past 3 days since I've used the machine last. I assume it is anti-freeze but everything in the engine compartment is dry -...

On a hot (90°) day my T250 std flow hydraulic oil temp is around 153° when clearing/moving trees with a hydraulic powered tree saw and about the same when just using a root rake w/double grapples when cleaning up and stacking logs.

Actually, very low maintenance. Only has 3 zerk fittings to grease and it utilizes used motor oil for chain lubrication. Blade is 3/8 thick and does its' work by slow brute force cutting rather than by speed. Blade is intended for below grade cuts so sharpening really isn't needed, either. Fuel...

I bought a 12" Marshall tree saw last December that I use on my T-250 and have put close to 120 hours on it clearing hardwoods, autumn olive , a few junipers on overgrown fence rows and also for out right reclaiming larger tracts of ground that we pastured 30 years ago. I really don't have any...

The machine has only been to the dealer one time since I've owned it. Other than an idler (RF) , an original 10 year old hydraulic hose and a fuel pickup the machine has been pretty much trouble free. I do the preventive maintenance thing pretty much by the book. I was thinking about the hand...

Would like to introduce myself. Live in Southern Illinois and have owned a 2800 hour standard flow T-250 with for almost 7 years now that replaced a Cat 416 backhoe. I generally have a root rake with grapples on it that is used for clearing brush and loading logs. I bought a Marshall tree saw...
