    Why are 3-point PTO driven sprayers so expensive?

    How can they sell that for such a reasonable price? Thinking they must make it up on shipping, I added it to a cart and found the shipping to only be $16. That's a bargain!!

    Why are 3-point PTO driven sprayers so expensive?

    @McMXi is your loader on the tractor while spraying? If it is... and empty... you might consider strapping in an extra water tank for more capacity. A cheap 12vdc pump might xfer the mix as you spray or you could simply lift the bucket and let gravity do the work with a short hose? There's...

    Thinking of trading in my BX2680 for a B2601

    I started out with a JD750 with a MMM and other attachments. I started out liking the MMM but soon realized that a rear mower would've been better for my needs. The mower was always either in the way or needed to come off do do other tasks. If it was put on to mow...it would rain. Or I...

    Why are 3-point PTO driven sprayers so expensive?

    Have you looked into changing the spray nozzle tips to a different type? For instance, TeeJet has data charts on all their nozzles regarding spray pattern, gpm output at certain pressures, etc. You may need to modify your boom by changing the number of nozzles to get the same coverage with much...

    Concrete Anchor Bolts

    I have my big vise mounted atop a heavy brake drum from a semi truck/trailer. It's heavy and stout. It takes a little effort to tilt and roll for moving it, but stays put in any location. Watch your toes when you tilt it back up in place!! I have a few from a former owner/operator that...

    Heater for hydraulic fluid?

    I'm way up north near the Canadian border, and like @nbryan , have a B2650. The first time out in subzero temps moving snow the tractor couldn't warm up and the hydraulic oil was so sluggish it wouldn't reach normal pto rpms. Now I run a full set of winterfront covers (front and both sides)...

    B3350 service/repair manual needed in pdf form.

    Hello Rob, As @SDT mentioned, at one time Kubota offered what they called a "cold weather bra" for the B3350. I'm not sure if they offer it for free anymore. It's quite expensive to buy if it's even still available. I still have the pattern for the cold weather winterfront covers I make that...

    Do you have to “zero” a new micrometer?

    Many years ago, I happened to be working alone in our instrument shop when a lineman with an attitude walked in and non politely said I should get off my a$$ and fix his 6 ft folding wooden ruler. He needed it in 30 minutes as they were leaving for some structure repairs and new crossarm...
