    Rear mount snowblowers

    My Canadian Made Farm King with manual chute rotates 240 degrees.... almost enough to pucker each time chute spins to its max. It has fixed stops so no way to turn it more regardless how cabling is made.

    How much weight can a BX 1870 move without harm

    at 5,000# you are almost at 300% of the max. spec. towing weight!!! not surprised going uphill it struggled. wrt damage you mentioned only a few feet but don't say how long it took you to move these few feet. If only a second or two then likely no troubles. If you spent 30 minutes going these...

    Must haves for L4701

    given what you say you will find a good grapple priceless.... if your budget allows sounds like a logging winch (I use a FX85) would also be very useful.

    The truth about 3-point PTO rear push versus rear pull snow blowers?

    I',m a simple type of guy and finding sticking with what is commonly used serves me well. Commonly used is commonly used for reasons. Pull snowblowers are not new, they have been around for a real long time. Yes they do cost a little more. However not overly popular. I asked myself why?? I...

    60" Box Blade too much?

    IMHO probably too much except under light duty use without using the shanks. I would bet once you start ground engaging the shanks you wont have the traction and wheels will spin.

    Which to buy L2501 or L3301

    the L3301 has 1/3 more HP at the engine and almost 40% more HP at the PTO! so depends on how you intend to use your tractor. torque similarly higher. If you plan to work the tractor of that size lightly / gently I would go with the L2501 as its less expensive and less complicated design (no...

    Don't forget hats with logos and worst of all snomo suits.... guys I see riding in my area are plastered with free promo for the manufacturers.... I would make them pay me if they want me to be a walking billboard for them.

    B7300 seat adjustment problem

    X2.... my new L3301 had similar problem the day it was first delivered by the dealer as it was about 6 months on his lot before I got it. I did exactly what you mentioned and in minutes was fine and now years later still good as new. but since the OP has already beat on it with a mallet...

    L2501 Question

    I upgraded from a B2620 to a L3301. I pull a small 66" finishing mower over very sparse / dry grass so don't notice much of a difference here. However where most of my work comes from is the BH (16" bucket) digging stumps, Wallenstein logging winch, EA root grapple for moving logs to wood...

    Moving Small Tree

    Moving Small Tree

    Hello... I live on an acerage in whats called the Sandilands forest. I have a L3301 (backhoe, snowblower, loader, log splitter, mower, grapple, etc...) We have had a lot of mature trees die from pine beetles. Land is very sandy testing out at over 90% sand down to 4 meters (no tiny stones or...

    L3901 HST 4WD making a rattling/roaring noise

    Kubota even uses the "welded on hook" on some of their their newest HST models. L3301/L3901's HST's from factory utilize same concept for storage / not in use periods. Depress pin - hook to lock - keep clutch disengaged when in storage or not in use. B2620's HST's and similar came from...

    Diagnostics on Kubota Tractors

    thanks.... I don't know specifics about JD lawsuits at all... but not at all surprised what you say about Cal Poly. Makes sense to me. LOTS of U.S. companies like Sun and Mac Tools (and others from other countries) make and sell non OEM diagnostic and servicing software and hardware for the...

    Diagnostics on Kubota Tractors

    OEM diagnostic software is hard to come by (near impossible) for many brands including Kubota, JD, CAT, Ford, GM, Dodge, etc.... as they tend not to sell outside their networks. However like most things in life there are aftermarket choices. For Kubota many fleet managers especially outside...
