    There once was a man from Nantucket…..Who had a backhoe and bucket…………...

    SSQA landscape rake?

    Anything I need to grease?

    I like paper manuals ... When I bought my 20 year old Kubota it didn't have a manual, so I ordered one ... While reading it I discovered that there was a pocket on the back of my seat where the manual was stored, so I looked (I have a cab, so it wasn't obvious!) and there was the original owners...

    I'm confident I have Gelled Fuel

    Most of the anti-gels have a different mix ratio depending on temperature ... Usually double the dose if below 0 ... Here is a picture of HotShots Winter Defense, and Power Service 911 ... Mix anti-gel when both that and diesel is above 32°F ... Use the 911 if your engine doesn't start, as it...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Even with my setup above on my SCUT, with extra weight and all four tires chained, traction was my biggest "problem" in the snow ... To be fair, I got home two days after the snow stopped, and didn't start clearing until day three ... Here you can see my first pass trying to push back the pile...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I picked up my forks today for the second time, my dealer had screwed up, and not specified that they were to go on a 3pt CAT 1 quick hitch, so it was made for CAT 2 ... While the bottom pins can be turned around, the top pin was way too high (at the top of the top bar!) so he said to bring it...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    The steel weight lifting plates aren't hooked to the quick hitch, as some/most of that weight will be on the ground once you set the blade on the ground ... Not sure how Kubota's BH's mount, but on my Massey Ferguson it uses a 1" pin to secure the top mount ... This way all 275 Lbs are on the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I'm guessing you mean the cement blocks ... They help it dig, but ... I run my little tires filled 75% full with WWF, 70 Lb factory steel wheel weights, plus added 275 Lbs of steel weight lifting plates on the BH frame ... Which primarily gives me traction weight, even with the blade on the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Once you put that 6' rear blade at an angle, it's not very wide ... This is my 6' behind my SCUT with 3" spacers on each side, total tire to tire sidewall is about 50" ... For an L I'd go with 7' ... You have more weight than me, surprised with a full load behind, it still wanted to crab...

    Daily Chuckle

    Yeah but I consider human excrement "waste"! They don't want it in the toilet apparently, or they don't have a very good command of the English language! So why bother with the toilet? Just use the trash can??? 😂

    Do tire chains help much on sub compact tractors?

    I haven't done this, I run the chains, but my brother has, and doesn't use his chains anymore after grooving ... He runs on asphalt. Many have done it, cheaper than chains, may be enough to skip the chains? https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/does-tire-grooving-really-work.43707/

    Do tire chains help much on sub compact tractors?

    Tractor Stalling

    If it was running after you stalled , there is not any air in the system ... My concern with the Lucas is it says Contains Real water dispersants to effectively remove moisture from the entire fuel system What it doesn't say is "HOW" it does it ... General there are two ways, make it blend in...
