    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I use Garlon 4, with a surfactant and dye. Cut stump treatment within minutes of cutting, and foliar treatment with the same mix for the small seedlings.

    FOUND IT. Having a heck of a time searching Messick's etc for the PTO lever , cable assembly and return spring for my L2501 HST

    Finding parts breakdowns for Kubota's can be challenging when using the drop down menus etc. Does anyone know what category and diagram the pto lever, cable assembly would be under? I did find it, under the category , SPEED CHANGE SHIFT FORK/shift fork :sneaky:

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I do use that site and also INaturlist. INaturlist uses a format where the users will suggest id's until a consensus is arrived at. At first I thought Coopers hawk also as I have consistent sighting of them on my land. This one is trending towards a broad winged hawk. They are also...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I had a busy day yesterday at the land with a good friend. He spent the day spot spraying woody invasive species. The targeted species was buckthorn, autumn olive, Japanese barberry and a few others. While he cut and sprayed I was on the tractor grappling and moving them along with further...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yesterday spent 3 1/2 hours of seat time cleaning up ice storm damage. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hated to lose this larger red pine. I put in a tiny watering station for wildlife and chose the location due to being somewhat hidden and this pine was part of that.

    QH16, floating top link kit, RCR1272 - what am I doing wrong?

    The 320-013a floating top link kit is not necessary when using your cutter. It was designed for the cutters below s.n. 953490.

    3302 Vs. 2501 (first tractor)

    I would have no way of knowing or judging due to not knowing what jobs you need the tractor to accomplish. Perhaps you regularly lift 1500 lb pallets , hay bales or totes with hardwood firewood on your acreage, then I would say no, its not overkill. And of course I only offered my take on my...

    3302 Vs. 2501 (first tractor)

    I fully agree. I have 57 acres and perfectly happy with the frame size and HP of my L2501hst. I have never been able to wrap my head around the concept of solely basing or even the first priority of amount of acreage determines the size of the tractor. I based my tractor purchase on my...

    Recommendations on a brand and model of grease gun

    I also have a Milwaukee M18 grease gun with lock n lube. With my particular situation it is nice that I do not have to use both hands to pump a manual traditional style grease gun. I also have two manual grease guns, traditional style and a small tube one hand style, but the go to gun is the...

    L3302 how many glow plugs.

    3 glow plugs . A single wire comes off the relay to one glow plug and then a strap connects the 3 together .

    L3302 how many glow plugs.

    I believe that is the symbol for a chassis ground, as compared to an earth ground symbol which is normally an inverted triangle with three lines. if you notice the starter in the wiring diagram uses the same ground symbol.

    Through the floorboard

    Agree, Besides the floor boards are very compact between the door sills and a very wide transmission tunnel, you have the left side main frame rail that runs laterally right tru the center of that small floor board. IF he could have gotten thru that floor board he would have had to contend...

    Through the floorboard

    One of the sites that reported said, "The single occupant, male driver, was possibly ejected through the floor of the classic Ford Bronco authorities believe. It appeared no windows were shattered." The wording , "possibly" and "it appeared no windows were shattered" seem like pretty weak...
