I have a 4n1 on my Kubota B21. It is a smaller unit, weighing about 510#. It has been repaired and reinforced. It is only 54" wide. I am considering the purchase of a light duty new Chinese 4n1, then reinforcing it and installing it on my other tractor. I have not seen one, but I hear they are...

Here is an update. It seems the hyd breaker needs to be running at max flow rate to be effective. We had been running the engine at 2/3 throttle. At full rabbit, the hyd motor in the breaker delivered more energy to the bit and the 8" stem walls were demolished. The slab has perimeter footers...

I thought most of these smaller Diesels had gear-driven cams. At least the Kubotas, Yanmars, and Daedongs I have had apart have no belts (and therefore require no timing maintenance). Deutz uses belts, hunh? Any others with belts or chains?

Nice pix, Ken. I see how that works. I also saw your custom setup, Tazza. Good ideas there. Thx for posting. Friday I got my first oppy to get seat time in a SS. It was a Mustang 2044 (49hp, almost 5K#) set up with a hydraulic breaker. I did about 2 hrs and my impression as a tractor guy is...

Thanks for the very informative replies, Ken and Tazza. I had not really considered using a SS-to-3pt adapter. It seems to me that that approach would put the hoe farther out front of the machine. Using hoes on the 3pt hitch on tractors is a dicey approach, so I have always favored...

Long post....and my first one! I am considering the purchase of a SS, and I have some questions. I have no experience with SSs, operating or owning, but I have lots with compact tractors w/ backhoe attachments and some with mini-excavators. I have read thru old threads that mention using a b/h...
