    Rotary Mower - New or Used?

    A couple years ago I bought a Rears flail mower. It was a mistake. Most of my mowing is on a steep hill that has fairly sandy soil. The flail is simply too heavy to mow while climbing without spinning tires. I have the flail listed for sale (check the Buy Sell Trade if you're interested). I...

    Rears SPF-72 offset y-blade flail mower

    Rears SPF-72 offset y-blade flail mower. Mower was in rough shape when I bought it 4 years ago. I have replaced all bearings, put on a new drive shaft, and changed the oil in the gearbox. Also have a bucket of cutting blades. Mower works perfectly but I ended up need different equipment for my...

    Snow Plow Cutting Bit/Edge

    I purchased a 7' wide snow plow for super cheap. I have welded it to a Mount Plate I purchased from Titan and am working on mounting a couple of hydraulic cylinders for left/right rotation. What I am looking for is a source for a new cutting edge. It is 84" long with bolt holes at 3, 16, 29...

    FEL Relief Valve Pressure Setting?

    I bought a pressure gauge setup for my L4701 with LA765 FEL and hooked it up to the white hydraulic connection on the Front Hydraulic Block. I measured a couple of times at full loading and got a pressure of 2350 lbs. I am looking though the service manual and cannot find the pressure range...

    L4701 With A Front End Clunk

    I have L4701 with around 145 hours and it has developed a clunk in the front end that seems to happen when the wheel is turned and moving slowly forward or backward. I have (safely) stuck my head near the front axle while someone else moved the tractor but I can't figure out where it is coming...

    Testing & Adjusting Loader Hydraulic Pressure

    I posted a topic a while back about being disappointed in my L4701/LA765 FEL capacity. The result of that discussion was that I should test the hydraulic pressure with a #3500 pressure gauge attached to a hydraulic quick disconnect inserted in to the loader lift supply line. I'm not familiar...

    Mulching mower

    I am under construction on our winery in the Lake Chelan Valley (Finaly....). We will plant a lawn in front of the tasting room for our customers to enjoy. We want this lawn to be perfect. Green, weed free, luxcios, 'please take your shoes off and enjoy' type of grass. I am looking for a mower...

    Be Gentle - I'm Working On An Idea

    Sorry this is so long but I have to share all these details so you can understand my project in the planning. We have 6 acres that has a building site up top where our home will go and down low where our winery is currently being built. Between the two is about 3-1/2 acres on a steep hillside...

    Fuel Tank/Pump Charger/Battery Setup

    I have a 100 gallon tank with an electric pump. It works great. However, I have to hook it up to the tractor or excavator with alligator clips to power the pump. I am thinking of getting a car battery and a solar 12v charger to run the pump. I only use the pump once every couple of days when...

    L4701 Doing Work

    Thought I would share a few photos of my L4701 moving drain rock from a pile on our building lot to the drain field. Drain field is a pressurized system with 8-60 foot trenches. They are 3 ft wide and the drain rock is 9" deep so I have about 40 yards of rock to move up the hill. Enjoy the...

    Somewhat Disappointed With The FEL

    I've had my L4701 with the LA765 Front End Loader for around a year now. Over the last couple of weeks we have been extending our building lot into a small hillside by digging out the dirt with a Kubota 121-3 Mini Excavator and piling up the dirt for the tractor to move across the lot to the...

    Snow with the FEL

    I have a buddy that has a garden tractor with a manual blade on the front. He plows his gravel parking lot using a piece of poly pipe with a slit cut in it over the cutting blade to keep from scraping up the gravel. Anybody tried this with their front end loader to pick up snow in a gravel...

    Latest Project - Grading Scraper

    Thought I would share pictures of my latest project. We are building an 8100 sqft pre-engineered steel building and I am my own general contractor and chief laborer. The county required (and I agree with) a 20 foot driveway with 35 foot radius's on both sides and a 12" culvert pipe underneath...

    Auger On An Excavator?

    Sorry this is a bit off the tractor topic but I don't know who else to ask. I built some four foot high nine foot horizontal terraces with a dozer In to the hillside behind our soon to be winery building. I wanted eight foot horizontal surfaces so I made them nine knowing that there would be...

    How Heavy For A Counterweight?

    I am going to build the metal framework and use concrete for a FEL counter weight. I have an L4701 with the LA765 FEL. I am about to begin a fairly large landscaping project and will be moving countless loads of topsoil and rock with the bucket. I am wondering what you all would recommend for...

    What Do You Call A Mom That Drives A Semi?

    The answer is a Mother Trucker. And that is what I think about removing the factory installed HST filter on my L4701. I had to use a 12" strap wrench with a 32mm box end cheater extension, laying flat on my back with both feet against the tractor frame giving it all I had. Mother Trucker.

    50 Hour Service Tomorrow

    Been using the tractor quite a bit in the last couple of weeks and 50 hours snuck up on me. I happened to be driving by the dealer today so I picked up the three oil filters (Really? $40+ and $60+ for hydraulic filters?). I found hydraulic fluid at WalMart that is compatible with Kubota's UDT...
