    Vertical Wood splitter Hydraulics

    Bought a B8200 from Scott Odell in 1985 and I live 25 miles south of Olathe!! He and his dad were good to deal with. They had a rental yard which made for good buying opportunities because of their volume purchases back then.

    Looks like your tractor originated from Independence, Mo. They are now Coleman in Lee's Summit.

    FedEx strikes again

    Consider a package goes through many regions. If one region is incompetent and the package gets in the wrong basket it goes to the wrong city (direction), eventually gets discovered and redirected. I posted an example a couple of weeks ago. Package began in NY and worked it's way to KC, then...

    A tad bit early I know

    Last couple of years we contracted for 650 gallons @ $1.70 and get a summer fill for $1.30, but they just top off the tank with whatever it holds. We over bought by 162 gallons so had a credit the next year.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    A simple solution to having enough volume when draining fluid from tractor. Check with farmer neighbors and ask for a "protein tub". They get these through the winter for their cattle and end up with them everywhere. Cut off the top so the height fits under your tractor. I can drain all the...

    Rocks shredding tires... what new tires do we need?

    That first picture tire looks like it is 25 years old with all the cracks in the rubber. Maybe find a brand that holds up better, (look for reviews of brands) but R4's are for your type of work.

    Hydraulic fluid dipstick question

    If at any time the dip stick shows a higher reading then other times go by the highest reading. No matter the physics involved, the fluid is in a container (transmission) and the actual volume doesn't change in any circumstance you describe.

    Ramp recommendations

    Driving up using the loader to get the front tires in place would work, but unloading presents a new problem. You're dropping off that 7"....might be fun!

    I agree, and have similar results with USPS. Must be a regional problem....in several regions!!

    A tad bit early I know

    We burned self cut, split, and carried wood for 35 years. We graduated to a propane furnace, added a 500 gal. propane tank and then a 20 Kw Kohler generator. Many problems solved.

    CC saved many

    “GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS DON’T EXIST.” Tell that to the people in this Missouri grocery store parking lot. In Pleasant Hill, Missouri, a man showed up at a Price Chopper with a rifle and opened fire in the parking lot, killing a woman and injuring a teenage employee. As chaos broke out and people...

    Pulling a 4x4 post - Ugh!!!

    Once you have the chain around the top of the post and the bucket hooked up (and planning to pull up not laterally), go forward a few inches then back a few and it will loosen the post up just a bit to make it easier.
