    Oil change interval on low use tracto

    I did change it a year after I purchased it, I was interested in what people thought because I've seen two schools of thought, you must follow the recommended service procedure. There's plenty of videos from dealerships that say you must wait until the 50-hour mark and those that have the...

    Oil change interval on low use tracto

    I purchased a tractor back in 2021 with the intentions of retiring within a few months, that changed into years with only 27 hrs on the tractor, with 9 hrs in the fall of 25. So, does a person wait until the 50 hr. initial service, which may be yrs, or should they change the 4-year-old oil now...

    Lets talk “Security”………..

    Who needs guns, two Chinese students tried to smuggle in potential argoterrorism fungus into the U.S. If it was under nefarious intensions, a great deal of damage could have been done without a single shot fired.

    Lets talk “Security”………..

    Both the Hikvision and the Dahua are Chinese systems as well as the Foscams I was considering, installing Chinese software just didn't feel right to me. Foscam has a North American team as well, it's still a Chinese company.

    Kubota Service Insurance

    My tractor, along with all of the attachments, all of the items I've added to the tractor itself is a large investment. I've seen many times where a person has spent countless thousands of dollars on their machines and then get real cheap when it comes to purchasing oils, parts, etc. All it...

    Kubota Service Insurance

    I got the KTAC when I purchased my tractor, I thought that as a new tractor owner, most of the learning curve mistakes were done in the first couple of years, luckily, I had no issues. The 5 year policy is about to run out, how many people continue to keep their machines covered under KTAC?

    Looking for Advice on Gravel Maintenance

    I thought that as well, from watching videos, a driver that knows what he's doing can save alot of work grading, the one company I spoke to said they cannot do that because of some trees near the drive, they'll only dump piles of stone.

    Looking for Advice on Gravel Maintenance

    I spoke to the gravel pit closest to the house, they said they were out of gravel and didn't offer much advice on what to get, they did say crusher run, but said it was a mix of different sizes, some large, no mention of the 3/4 minus. I believe you're 100% correct about the ditches, and at...
