I just pour the dry cement into the hole and forget it. The moisture in the ground will be absorbed by the concrete, and when the concrete cures, I defy you to pull the posts out.

couplers come in a wide variety and sizes. On your coupler, there are some letters and numbers. You need to match those numbers and letters to the new couplers that you will be using.

you will be fine. The worse that can happen will be that the plywood will crack, but how far can the tractor fall? It isn't going to be a catastrophic failure. Now, if you live in California, where you have to worry about earthquakes, the roof falling is is more likely than the floor giving...

Check all your hydraulic couplings to see if any of them are not fully seated. By this, I mean to disconnect them and then reconnect them. Also, while sitting in the seat, turn the knob under the seat fully counterclockwise to see if that makes a difference. Then pull back on the 3 point...

The problem with Stainless Steel is that when you have 2 stainless steel items and thread them together, the threads will gall when you disassemble. Now, if you are using 2 dissimilar metals, this will not happen. Years ago when I was involved with a truck equipment business, we built a tank...

In the first picture the arms are down, and in the second picture the arms are up. You will have to push the 3 point hitch lever forward to lower the arms, but the arms will not lower unless there is some weight on them. If I remember correctly you can put the control lever into the lowering...

I will have to look into shipping costs. Not going near the post office till after Christmas. thanks, Dusty.

I bought a used 165 gallon Roth double-wall tank, and still haven't set it up for my delivery pump. My procrastination has consequences because the price of fuel oil has gone up almost double since last April when I purchased the tank. Now I am patiently waiting for the spring when heating oil...

Is there an odometer to go along with the speedometer? Do you change the oil based on hours or miles traveled? Inquiring minds need to know! :)

Kubota used a powder-coated rim on the BX and when you add Rim Guard to the wheel and tire and the air pressure gets low, the Rim Guard will get between the tire bead and the rim, causing the tire to stand still and the rim will be spinning inside the tire. Move the tire valve to 12 o'clock and...

You don't understand the terrain in CT. What he is calling rocks, might just be huge boulders that would need to be drilled and blasted apart to move or it might just be ledge that is next to impossible to move without blasting. I live about 40 miles north of him, and every winter, the...

I remember reading the story about this animal.

I installed a 3rd function landPride valve in my BX23S, and once I got past the poorly written instructions, it was a breeze. Considering how many Kubota's are sold in English-speaking countries, one would think that they would have better instructions than they do. Kubota now owns LandPride...

I have noticed that the couplers from the factory have a single wrap of Teflon tape around the threads. Personally, I don't like Teflon tape for new pipe threads, because the threads will cut and shred the Teflon tape, and it is disastrous to the hydraulic system. I use a thin coating of pipe...

If I were buying a new engine and paying their book price for it, then I still own the old engine and can do what I want with it. Let's say that the tractor was stolen and recovered, and they took only the engine. Does that mean that I couldn't buy a new engine for the tractor because I...

Tempered glass is stronger than laminated glass, however, if it gets hit with a sharp item it will shatter. I am going to look into having the front and back glass in my cab coated with a clear film. I don't care much about tint, but I don't want to be replacing the windshield in my cab. Even...

Do the chain hooks come from Kubota or did the dealer install them? That is one heck of a tractor, and I am certain that you will enjoy it. I know how expensive the glass is in that cab, so I suggest that you look into having the 3 M glass protection added to it. 3M™ Scotchshield™ Automotive...

I buy the orange windshield washer fluid by the case and my wife can burn through a gallon a month. She has this compulsion that if there is a spot on the windshield that it will interfere with her ability to see out the windshield. I am constantly refilling the container. If it is a very...

The 3/8" NPT 90 degree swivel street ell's arrived today. I had been tracking the USPS tracking number since it left Philadelphia PA on Monday. I use the USPS email service to know when it has arrived at my post office. Problem is that it was delivered to the wrong post office. I drove out...

Everyone tells you to keep it, but there is a reason that you bought the Kubota. The old one leaked, and it was time. It is also time to send it down the road, and put some cash in your pocket. The market for an old tractor will never be better than the present time, and if you keep it in a...
