I think we can all agree this is a really great forum for Kubota owners.
I guess maybe I’m a simpleton but not sure what pot that would be stirring here. If someone doesn’t agree with that I don’t know why they’d be reading this or anything else on OTT. I expect anyone who disagrees wouldn’t be here.
Yes, I like OTT. I don’t think classic internet slap fights or straight up trolling should be allowed but I do like that impassioned debates that stay on an adult (or sometimes pseudo-adult) level are allowed. I don’t like forums that are moderated like everyone is in Mr. Rogers’s kindergarten class.
I like the variety of noobs to experts in operating, repair, and fabrication. Have found few, if any, who post bs with authority.
I like the sharing of projects and methods that we’ve been able to use to improve the ease and efficiency of our operations. OTT was a significant part of the research prior to purchase of the L and some implements. Other than a couple of implements I’ve been too cheap to buy yet, I don’t think we could have found a better fit for our needs and OTT was a big part of getting that right.
OTT was, and is, instrumental in learning how to properly operate and maintain a Tier 4 HST with a modern hydraulic system. Not long ago, I was lifting a felled tree to skid with the three point, it hung up half way up and threw the system into relief without my noticing until I tried to move the loader at which point I noticed the sound of the relief. If I hadn’t read about that here I would have almost certainly thought there was a serious problem, wasted time chasing it down, and worried about the long term implications even if I lucked up and got it working. I had read about that exact scenario here so I immediately looked back at the 3 point, saw what the problem was, dropped the lift 2”, all went back to normal and a potentially time consuming worrisome research project was over in about 5 seconds. Thanks OTT!
