    Land Plane vs Box Blade

    If you are maintaining an existing road a land plane is easier to operate and will give great results. But if you need to break up packed down gravel and move it around a box blade is necessary. Land planes are for the most part surface skimmers. If you keep it maintained it will give great...

    Utility trailers

    I have considered that....but for some unknown reason my wallet thinks otherwise.

    Utility trailers

    Another comment. Some of you have mentioned cheap trailers that you wouldn't trust. Here's a link to the mfg. I will be buying from. They are local to me.

    Utility trailers

    I appreciate all of the advice, it is well taken. But I think I have an approach I can live with. I originally bought my enclosed cargo trailer to haul tools. I had (still have) handyman work at a farm and so much of that required more than my Ford Ranger could carry easily. The cargo trailer...

    Utility trailers

    I am looking to purchase a utility trailer to replace my enclosed cargo trailer. I need something for lumber and other larger items. I also want to be able to get some gravel or dirt for projects around the home. My real concern is weight capability. The trailers I am looking at have a 2900#...

    L2501 HST hit by car while grading road

    You can always take it to the dealer and have them look it over. Explain the situation and let them tell the insurance company what damage was caused. If you miss anything now it will be too late after insurance gets involved. Did you have your warning flashers on?

    A handle to help an old guy get on and off the BH77

    Looks like a factory accessory to me. Great job.

    Do you feel better off today than you did one year ago?

    My wife and I own a cleaning business......we control the "better" to suit our needs. I don't like the price of fuel since our business is always on the move. But adjustments can be made to take control of just about everything.

    Thank you everyone!… From a new tractor owner. (B2601)

    As someone who tipped their tractor over in the first two weeks....this is the best information you can heed: " When using the loader, always keep it low to the ground when moving. When loading the bucket, be on level ground or real close to it." I was confident and moving a pile of dirt pretty...

    Bucket cutting edge

    Piranha also has a smooth edge bar that attaches the same way. 2 bolts, off or on.

    54 inch or 60 inch MMM on a BX23S

    Keep in mind that the bigger the mower the more likely it will scalp on uneven ground. When I bought my B2320 I opted for a PTO finish mower behind the tractor. No more grass in my face when cutting on windy days as the finish mower is a rear discharge 8' behind me. The added feature is that...

    Kubota RTV

    Since my needs are limited, I wound up with a Honda Pioneer 520 with a dump bed. I looked at the Mule and they were unavailable at the time. I contacted Honda and Kawasaki dealers and told them to let me know when they get the machine in. A few months later Honda came through first and I would...

    Subframe

    It may be too old of a thread to comment but what the hell. When I was at the Kubota dealer several years ago I brought up the 3 point backhoe in conversation with the manager of the dealer. He had been with Kubota for several years. He said they used to sell them at that dealership. I can't...

    What's the right implement for the L2501 for driveway resurfacing/grading?

    A land plane will probably give you the best results. However "jyoutz" makes a valid point. They are great for what they do....but it's limited. A box blade and do more and you can get similar results once you master the top link positioning. That and the loader is all I use on my driveway and...
