    Was this luck or skill?

    Well.... I know in my lifetime I have had a few close calls that I may (or may not have) soiled my shorts just a little When I saw this me thinks this guy maybe left at least a couple of strips in his. His angel (plus a good smattering of skill) clearly meant this day was not his time.

    PTO Shield

    old style.... you need to find an older farm supply shop (not internet or new fancy steel/glass shops but the tin building type) that doesn't only stock the newest / latest and greatest. Our locally owned Farm Supply carries this old style. I predict more searching in your futures if your not...

    PTO Shield

    sometimes you just need to scrap the entire shield instead of trying to find pieces and replace with a brand new one. there pretty cheap somewhere around $150 or so.

    unable to force Regen on Kubota l3901 w/ backhoe attachment. Engine light on w/p3008 code.

    my books say on the l3901 if beeping every second and the engine warning light is light constantly (not flashing) you be at warning level 4 which is the L's highest warning level that I know of. Means engine is de-rated to 50%. Solution is for an immediate cease use of the tractor as damage to...

    Who would have thought??

    yup... the soft "nintendo punks" mistakenly think because I look crippled I'm weak in mind/body and spirit. Being old is far from same as being weak. I can still outwork many half my age but don't ask me to run. This boy no longer runs.

    Kubota M110 GXII does not go forward only reverse error code E-R44.Thanks in advance for the answers!

    have you changed the trans fluid or filters lately? that error code is often associated with the master hydro switch not working as its supposed to or the hydro pressure being too low. PLugged filters / low fluids would be my first check. gets more complicated after that

    Pdf regen on l3901

    Its about normal given your decision to only run at 1800 rpm per statement below. Why do you want to operate rpm's below designed operating range? Run it a little hotter (2,100) and your duration between regens will go up and in the long run your diesel will thank you. Also could switch to...

    PTO driven 3-point circular saw attachment.

    post WWII every farm in our area was getting tractors and buzz saws were one of the first non crop implements people would make / trade for / or buy. Very common around here and can still find them rusting away in the bush lines. We live in a forested area and used the saws not only for putting...
