I've seen this called a check chain, a sway stabilizer, and a stabilizer chain, so I will just call it a check chain. I noticed last week that when I turned a tight corner while shredding, my tractor bogged down and almost died. First time it had ever happened. I thought it was just the heavy...

I've been trying to determine if I've bent the adjustable lift link on my 3 pt, or is that the way it has always been. Mine has a slight kink where it is welded to the lower clavicle, just above the lower arm. I've searched photos and some seem to show this same kink, but hard to tell for sure...

I thought it worth posting this for others seeking info on adding ballast to their tractors. As others have noted, the MX line is a little light in the back and I have had several instances of raising the rears when using the loader, or losing traction while pulling an implement. This past week...

I'm kind of excited by the prospect. A buddy of mine is the 4th generation on a family farm in east Texas. As it has passed to the current generation, the great grandkids don't have the ability or inclination to take it over, and it is looking like they'll be selling in the next few years. They...

I had a busy week tractoring. I mowed about 10 acres Friday evening, and Saturday morning. Interrupted Friday evening as I hit 50 hours, and since I was at a good stopping point, went ahead and did 50 hour service. I had all of the supplies, so it was very easy. It took me about an hour, and...

Okay, I'm still a novice, so please take into consideration for my lack of knowledge. I am trying to decide if I need to buy a drag harrow, or if I can make my disc work for the limited need i have right now. I used the disc to prep about 6 acres I am planning for dove fields. These fields have...

I've been meaning to ask for advice on this, but keep forgetting. I have an LA 1065 and the manual says grease every 10 hours of loader operation. No problem as all but two of the zerks are easy to access. However, the two at the top of the arms, closest to the driver's station, are at an odd...

I took delivery of my MX4800 and was able to log 20 hours or so, but then our Fall and early winter were so wet, I haven't been able to get much done 'til this last week. I am now at 39 hours and no regeneration yet. Based on others' comments, I started expecting it as I approached 30 hours. 95%...

So, three years ago this week, I upgraded from a RAM 1500 Hemi to a 2500 Cummins due to my towing needs. The Hemi would pull my toyhauler, but fuel mileage would drop to 5-6 mpg when hooked up. With a 20 gallon fuel tank it would require filling up every hundred miles or so when pulling to...

I have noticed square and compasses in several signatures and wanted to greet my brothers. Texas Mason, Knight Templar, and Shriner here. Dalroo 2B1ASK1

I mowed about 10 acres on Wednesday with my still new MX4800 - 23 hours. I was mowing a field that hasn't been worked in several years, so was in weeds and brush 3-4' tall. I was kicking up lots of dust and knew the filter would need to be cleaned at some point. I started to notice the temp...

Had been moving an implement off a trailer with the FEL today. When done, I parked tractor for 15 minutes or so before moving into barn. As I pulled in and stopped, with clutch depressed, started to lower the empty bucket to ground, the tractor began to stall. Was at roughly 1700 rpm prior to...

Another newbie question - my MX4800DT was delivered with just under 2 hours on meter. Before operating, I checked all fluid levels and they were in the "safe" range. The tranny fluid was exactly in the middle of the sight-glass. I operated it for about 10 hours over a couple of days, checking...

Okay, 2nd post. I searched for this, read owner's manual, and looked on line and can't find an answer, so hope it hasn't already been answered at length. On my LA1065 Loader it has a lift capacity of 2275 lbs at Pivot Pin. But I noticed when the tractor was delivered the dealer had used the...

Hello OTT, I'm new to forum (1st post), and Kubota. I've operated tractors and heavy equipment on an off for many years, but after purchasing a small ranch in central Texas earlier this year, I felt I needed to find the right machine for my needs. Hopefully the lessons i learned through this...
