    B3350 DPF issues

    Kubota must still have some issues. I was speaking with my dealer this week about the 3350s. I was told that he has 3 new units and 2 used units on his lot, but Kubota will not allow him to sell any of them. So for now it's 2650 only.

    Looking for imput on an inexpensive plasmer cutter

    There are some very cheap units out there, but as mentioned above, you get what you pay for. This is about as cheap as I have seen, but I really wonder how well it will perform. Think about the "cost of ownership" as well as the purchase price...

    Engine oil black during new break-in period.

    Any of the newer engines that have an EGR valve will make the oil dirty early. Motors with a DPF will dirty the oil with fuel and carbon when they do a regen. the same thing goes on in all the newer diesel trucks. I believe it's important to change the oil filter and engine oil as required to...

    Pool Rehab Project Complete

    The results of your efforts is beautiful. I'm wondering if local rules would have you be required to have a railing just behind your chairs. An aluminium rail ( such as Century railings) would look great, but would be costly too. enjoy

    Cargo containers

    Point # 2 above is key. To carry a roof I would think you'd want a beam running lengthwise and attached to these lifting points. I paid $1000 for a 48' can from CN rail about 10 years ago, it has been perfect for storage of cars, boats etc. good luck!
