Pergola hammock swing

I want to build a covered pergola capable of suspending 500lbs in hammocks. Building dimensions are 14' x 10' between 8"X8" posts. I need to span said dimensions with solid beams to carry weight. What size beams do I need to span the 14' to include 30lb snow load?

Kubota L4400 Hard Shifting - High/Low/Reverse

D

Dixie2012 on Sep 04, 2022

This Kubota L4400 is about a 2006 model, manual transmission - 4 forward/reverse with high/low gearbox. Issue is getting worse as time goes along. Don't use this tractor much. Its only got about 300 hrs on it. Doesn't seem to matter if its in high, low or reverse. Occasionally it will grind the gears trying to put in any range (Hi/Lo/Rev) from a dead stop, but not often. Most of my issue is, it doesn't want to go into range (Hi/Lo/Rev) or it doesn't want to come out of range when stopped. For example, in the older cars/trucks if it was the manual transmission, you could ease out on the clutch a bit & it would work the clutch just enough that it would easily go into or out of that gear. I just have to wrestle with it most of the time. It just doesn't go into or out of range smoothly like it should when stopped. No transmission noises, no clutch, pressure plate or throw out bearing noises. No issues other than its just stubborn when stopped. Doesn't jump or jerk. I just dont remember having this problem when it was new & I dont remember it being a consistent issue like it (seems) to have become. This tractor has always been serviced by the dealership. There has never been a DIY service .... even an oil change.. I'm assuming something just needs to be adjusted. I'm kinda new to this (Hi/Lo/Rev) range... 2nd gearbox setup. Read More
