    Titan Pallet Fork customized

    Very nice piece of metal fabrication for adapting a trailer ball to the forks. Very well done. A little curious why you not using quick hitch ball or a 3pt hitch ball for those moving trailers around. Those are available at very low cost. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Manual Problems

    All those 2014 MX5200H parts manuals you send back, actually fit you specific 2017 tractor. Some tractor models can have a manufactors assembly line run of 5 or 6 years, and the parts manuals issued for the first model year apply to all subsequent model years. Sent from my SM-G930V using...

    Dirt leveling question..

    I much prefer mixed 3/4" to 2" gravel fill around a culvert. I always use galvanized for 24" or less and concrete for larger than 24". Using the box blade as a dozer and the tractor loader tip as a finish scraper. It takes just a little time to build some experience, and you can custom...

    Rtv x 1100c amazing machine.

    I tried to buy an RTV 1100 for past 6 months within my price range. Never could find one even on eBay. Not that the RTV are over priced or anything, but they are so well liked and they hold their value over time. I finally ended up getting a used Polaris 700 for transport on and around the...

    WoodMaxx

    Good luck on your new snowblower. I am still waiting 2-3 weeks more for the deliver of my Woodmax chipper. Again, cause of delay is Woodmax switching to where they will be machining most of the parts to the chippers.

    Bush hog almost stalled engine

    That is 100% normal behavior from a rotary cutter. You can always increase RPM when transitioning into higher field grass. Also, if this first time you have cut the field, briefly walk the high grass looking out for any debris: such as barb wire, old fence posts, any metal. This will help...

    Parts Counter Serial Number

    I was talking to a Dallas Kubota dealer at lunch this week about tractor usage and life expectancy. It was most interesting. According to Kubota study, tractors in the 60HP and less group average 118 hours per year. Tractors greater than 60HP average 195 hours per year. Average tractor...

    Re: DEfective wheels on new L47 kabota tractor Wheel cracks? Can you provide photos of the problem. Honestly, I not heard of such problems before with a Kubota or any tractor. My kioti will loosen lugs from normal use and so about every 50 hrs I check and tighten if necessary. Sent from...

    Oil in radiator L1501DT

    Not sure exactly the specific cause without a detailed investigation. You do appear to have done all the required work to diagnose and prevent oil in the radiator. Especially the head was air pressure checked for cracks. After all that engine work, are you seeing a few cups of oil or just a...

    RPM's, HP and Torque, Oh MY!!!

    I remember a general rule for rotary cutters; allow 5hp at PTO on the tractor for every 1 feet of rotary cutter. Therefore a 5 foot rotary cutter TYPICALLY requires 25hp at PTO; a 6 foot rotary cutter requires 30hp at the PTO. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Attach box blade with a quick hitch

    Check your top link. Perhaps your top link is restricting how low the quick hitch can be dropped for the connection. Occasionally, I do use short pieces of a 6x6 to elevate the implement...for a really fast connection later. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Brush Hog Rookie Question

    You want the rotary cutter to be at least level or even better....lower in the front. This allows cut materials to escape at the rear of the cutter. This lower in the front requirement is also related to the top link adjustment. Your rear caster wheel should rotate freely and easily while...

    WoodMaxx

    Thanks for the recommedation and encouragement on my future Woodmax chipper. Glad to see Woodmax increasing the American made parts to their products. Good luck with your Woodmax Snowblower. I moved from New York to Texas, and so no longer need any snowblower. I do prefer the front...

    RPM's, HP and Torque, Oh MY!!!

    No such thing as bad questions. That's how we all learn. Ok. No such thing as a 540 PTO is a 540 PTO is a 540 PTO for different tractors with horsepower differences. Real case: Imagine a 50hp tractor and 25hp tractor running the same model rotary cutter into 4 feet high grass at same 540...

    WoodMaxx

    I just ordered three weeks ago, the Woodmax Mx-9900 chipper in Kubuta orange. They are doing a booming business right now, and Woodmax notified me that deliver times are about 6-8 weeks out. Interestingly, they are now making at Woodmax, many of the parts they previously sourced from China...

    Ok Jeff. Good Luck with your repair. Sounds like you have it under control. Sometimes these minor repairs are headaches, but they do force you to learn more about your tractor and the parts supply system available to you. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Total newby, need help with the hydraulics

    Unless your tractor is in a critical position, leave it parked. If you need to move the tractor onto a trailer, do it quickly and efficiently. I am sure if you call the Kubota parts and order that specific part, you maybe able to pick it up this afternoon and replace it on your tractor. Work...

    Shear Pin or Slip Clutch

    I have the Kioti 60" medium duty. rotary cutter (made by woods). I hit some serious metal in high grass along my road fence line that was not there last year. The slip clutch worked as designed with no damage to the gear box. I now walk that fence line looking for any debris thrown over the...
