    Six more HP from the same engine?

    Everyone I know that messes with diesel tuning on their truck ends up with burnt pistons of some other engine failure down the road. Engine components are a system designed to work with the designed tuning.

    Massive Cup Holder!

    Find a piece of PCV or ABS pipe that fits in the massive hole to reduce the size of it.

    New Cars/Trucks

    I could never see paying cash for vehicles. I can still get a better investment rate of return than the loan interest rates I can get at my credit union. As long as I can afford the payments, my cash stays invested.

    MX 6000 or 5400 Backhoe Install

    The ones I’ve seen use rear remotes.

    MX 6000 or 5400 Backhoe Install

    I believe the Kubota matched backhoe kit comes with the subframe and hydraulic lines. You would need rear remotes for hookup. IDK how many remotes are required; but getting less than 3 makes no sense.

    Get the chains. The rubber on my Landpr cutter is torn and now I’m going to order the chains.

    Newbie tire questions

    The new R4’s that Kubota uses are awesome and the grooving greatly increase traction. Go look at them.

    Newbie tire questions

    I’ve never had that situation with R4’s. They only would be an issue is the ground was soft and wet, and anything would tear up grass under those conditions.

    Belly mount GF1800E went bang, then smoke

    Sounds like the engine is belly up.

    Newbie tire questions

    The R14s are a nice compromise between traction and being gentle on the ground. But for your purposes going in the woods, I would choose R4. They have the most rigid sidewalls and are more durable riding over sticks and rocks.

    FEL while mowing.

    I don’t mow lawns with my MX, but I do rotary cutting of native grass and brush in field conditions. I always cut with my loader and bucket on. I use it to pick up debris like down branches, ect… while I’m out there cutting.

    Hydrant Head Replacement?

    That’s what I was thinking. The rod and valve are no doubt in pretty poor condition if the head looks the way it does.

    Hydrant Head Replacement?

    Nobody wants to do this, myself included, but digging it up and replacing the whole hydrant is your best option. Then you will have years of trouble free service. I had to do this last year.
