Nope, the opposite is the case. The more people install solar or wind power the higher the electricity cost goes. Reason being is that the electricity provider still has to provide 100% capacity for the nights when it is calm. Hence all they save is the fuel. Installation cost, servicing, wages...

Hi, I cannot answer your size question but can you not reuse the old ends? If your neighbour has a crimper / press it is likely that he has the ferrules too. If you cut those open (carefully, not to damage the fitting inside the hose) that is the only new part you will need, plus the hose, of...

I have permission from my wife to bring the tractor into the dining / living room. It is tractor accessible through a big sliding door although I had not planned it for that purpose. Have not done it (yet :giggle: ) either; so far I am only drying my sprayed front axle parts in it for faster...

@nerwin: were there a few cats disappearing suspiciously a few years back?

So if we find yellow we can make proper Kubota orange.

We had a lecturer from a German university doing a presention to the local beekeepers association. He had investigated yield increase on fruit plants through honey bees. As far as I remember honey bees were particularly useful for blueberries with the yield increasing by 70%. Contact a local...

Is that green?

Must be a Kubota so ... :)

I bought the Kubota SUDT as well from a local dealer (in Ireland). Cheaper than any of the Kubota approved oils I could find on the internet or locally; wasted a lot of time on the internet search too. Also with some other spare parts, like seal rings or water hoses, I was positively surprised...

Actually, you should never mess with that. It is very dangerous. About a quarter of my socks disappeared into that I think.

Man, am I relieved that it was not me ... Got a bit worried there ... We pretty much never have any snow ... I think 2018 we had some ...

Today I finally sprayed my front axle parts after sandblasting, acid treatment and primer the days before. Spraying the rims was a doodle using a motor driven turntable I built for that purpose. So once the paint has cured I can put the tractor back together in about a weeks time. I also made...

I looked into that warming thing a while ago. The temperatures are measured in weather stations. A good few of them are located in built up areas that heat up to higher temperatures due to house heating, cars and industry than the surrounding areas. Therefore the measured temperatures there are...

"Tell no one" from Harlan Coben. Brilliant movie, I also read the book (paper though).

@nerwin one more thing: round off the sharp edges a bit if they are not required for function. This way you get better paint coverage there. On sharp edges paint is very thin and this is often where the rust starts. Second picture after CSD disk and before sand blasting. Last picture is after...

Scraping off the loose paint bits and removing the rust (not easily done if you don't want to see rust again) is a good idea. The corrosion will continue under the good paint otherwise. On my tractor frame the paint is mostly good and the paint is tough to get off, so I am debating if I only...

No, I do not think it is technical issues. They simply put lots of keywords in the description to lure people on their web site. I am not sure if that really helps, I think it only leads to lots of frustrated customers that do not look carefully and order the wrong part. Well, Messicks have...

No it is not. :giggle: For the same reason I need paint, helps hiding my poor welds a bit. :giggle:

And check your parts carefully before you order. They seem to be very generous with their keywords. As an example I tried "G1900" as a search and hundreds of parts show up that are definitely not usable for this tractor. And what I saw they are aftermarket supplier parts, not genuine Kubota...

After taking the deck off the three bolts are easily accessible from below. Taking the radiator out makes it possible to work from above but I would only do that if you plan to change the coolant anyway or if you want to flush the radiator.
