    Another childhood Idol gone

    Why would left-wing media report anything that resembles truth or fact that might really be important for everyone to know? His death wasn't and won't be deterring me from getting the shot anyway. My own reservations and not less than average intelligence will.

    According to Woodland Mills, the chipper should ship by next Friday. Better find some ISO-46 Hydraulic fluid, pronto, and get a stump bucket ordered too.

    Another childhood Idol gone

    "Hammerin' Hank" Henry Louis Aaron passed away today. I was a sophomore in high school when he made #715 to break Babe Ruth's record in 1974, breaking so many boundaries in a world where racial relations were getting so much better than they are today. Having lived through those times, I can't...

    ROPS Question

    Mine came with pins, not bolts. They don't look to be particularly hard, but I could be wrong. They also have cute little springs that will launch across the yard when you pull the hairpin keepers. Not sure what the springs are about, but maybe Kubota didn't want the pins to rattle. I...

    Ordered this today.

    I have a little trailer VERY similar to that, but no green on it. :sneaky: The chassis is pretty much identical. The height of your cage is just about as high as I would want to load it, too. It sits so high with a narrow track, it's gonna want to be top heavy with green chips on it, and with a...

    You just gave me a good idea what to do with the crate. LOL. I already have a little 5 x 7 trailer that I threw together on a little boat trailer frame. I can frame the sides and fasten screen to it, and screen, and bingo, I've got a chip catcher with wheels. If I make it in panels, I can...

    Ordered this today.

    I've got some contacts in local shops that I've done business with for nearly 40 years. Sometimes, it ain't what ya know, it's WHO ya know.

    Ordered this today.

    No different for WoodMaxx TM-86H, other than it's outsourced from Buffalo, NY. It's VERY similar to the WC-68. Both are down-feed single spool infeeds. WoodMaxx doesn't say where their knives come from, but their site does say that USA Knives are an option on the TM-86H. Ummm, if I gotta pay...

    LX2610 Tire sizes

    NJTool is correct. You cannot have the big tires if you want to run the MMM. My dealer told me they were not an option on the non-SU models. I have the big R-14's, and they make the SU look all growed up, rivalling the size of the L3900. The larger tires were largely intended to raise the...

    Ordered this today.

    WC68 6″ PTO Wood Chipper, Wood Chipper | Woodland Mills USA Did my homework, and studied hard. The WoodMaxx WM-8H has a much heavier flywheel (200 lbs) which turns more than twice the speed of the direct drive models (120 lb), but sports only two knives. A few more strikes per second, but...

    Does tire grooving really work?

    Until those bars bumps and ridges fill up with sticky loose material. Then, it turns into a slick. If you have sandy relatively dry loose material, yep, it'll bite pretty good, because that stuff will come back off the tire. Wet clay, nope, all ya gonna do is fill up the little grooves first...

    Does tire grooving really work?

    Might wanna consult a few NASCAR engineers and F1 racing engineers about "more surface area" versus "water/mud channeling" NASCAR tires have no tread for a reason, and the lack of any tread is exactly why they shut down a race if 3 drops of rain hit the track. The reason for no tread is...

    Welding Chuckles AKA- Hot pajamas

    Never set my jimjams on fire, but took welding in VoAg in high school. Any of you that remember the 70's well enough rememember how cool it was to cut the hem out of jeans and let them ravel. Fortunately, I wore saddle boots all the time, and didn't get burn, but had a lot of 'splainin' to do...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Here's how I mounted mine. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/tool-caddy-for-lx2610su.49280/ I made two of the brackets, knowing I'd eventually use another for something. The brackets will work on either side, inside or out. My ROPS already had a couple holes down low (I'm...

    Why No Seat Belt Interlock?

    That reminds me of the first time I saw braille on the keypads of drive-up ATMs. If you need braille, you probably shouldn't be driving up to an ATM. I remember thinking, "What's next, Braille stop signs?" But I think that answer is just around the corner with self-driving cars.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I've figured out that my 20' 5/16 chain will fit quite nicely in one of the metal ammo cans from HF. So, stop by there tomorrow to pick up 3 more cans, and make two more brackets, and I'll have PLENTY storage space for tools and chains and pins up on the ROPS. Thank you Mr. Kubota for putting...
