    Checkering a gunstock is not like riding a bicycle! ARRRG.

    Thanks for comments guys! Much appreciated. My seat lift has worked really well over the years and was a fun build! I am bringing the tractor back to my house after deer season and going to modify my hand control for the HST and give it a good wash and wax. First one since ownership. Side...

    Checkering a gunstock is not like riding a bicycle! ARRRG.

    Thank you for the kind comment. Pictures on the interweb do have a way of hiding flaws, lol. Cars and tractors always look better than in person. :)

    Checkering a gunstock is not like riding a bicycle! ARRRG.

    I had gotten pretty good at hand checkering back in my gunshop, gunsmithing days. Recently I had decided to rework my second built rifle stock when I attended Colo. School of Trades, circa 1981. Part of the course requirements was to build a minimum of 3 rifle stocks from blanks, all hand...

    Kubota D1105 No Start Black Smoke

    For what’s it’s worth. My opinion from watching the video the cranking rpm’s is fast enough. Given the history you outlined with water sitting in the cylinders and engine being locked up I think the compression readings is going to give you the answer as to why it will not start.

    Problems encountered when running a used BX2660

    Glad you got your BX filters sorted and it is running like it should. I am in a different camp compared to a lot of folks here on OTT. I ran a 4 foot rotary cutter behind my 13 pto Hp B7100 in similar grass conditions and never had an issue. Of course , like you, I listened to what the tractor...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Spent a nice weekend camping at my land with my grandson. The weather could not have been more perfect. One of the "chores" on the list was dragging my box blind across the property back to my picnic/camping area for some major renovations. I built the box blind on skids so I can drag it to...

    To flail or brush hog with L2501?

    My L2501 hst is listed at 19 PTO HP and a gear drive at 20.5 PTO HP. Landpride matched implement guide recommends a 5 foot brush cutter for L2501's and I have been running a 6' light duty LP for 3 seasons now without issues. My humble opinion it would be a mistake to think the largest rotary...

    Trail maintenance (mowing mostly). Recommendations?

    I use a L2501 hst with a light duty Landpride 6 foot brush cutter on my roughly 5 to 6 mile total trail system. I also have some steep hills but when I laid out my trails I avoided any off camber trails on those steep hills. Straight up or straight down, keeps the "clinch" factor to a minimum...

    Kubota B7000 or Kubota B7100 both standard 4x4.

    Right, I was just addressing the "lift" capacity of the 3pt and not the operational capabilities when it comes to a flail mower and the limited pto HP of these tractors. Good luck in your efforts to choose a flail, hope to hear back with your impressions and results. :)(y)

    Kubota B7000 or Kubota B7100 both standard 4x4.

    My owners manual for my late production B7100HST list the 3pt lift max load capacity at 180kg or 400 lbs. The manual also lists max weights for different implements , I assume based on how far back they hang off the 3pt. While it does not list a flail mower it does list a tiller which I...

    L2501 Advice

    A side note as far as price. I purchased my HST L2501, optioned with loader, 66 inch light duty bucket , skid steer quick attach, R4 industrial tires and dealer installed Landpride third function ( for grapple use) and paid 19K even plus sales tax in the fall of 2019. When I shopped for my...

    L2501 Advice

    FYI, looks to be the gear drive. Orange handled lever coming up from center floor toward front of foot platform. The loader is not optioned with a skid steer quick attach which is a negative. If your needs will include a grapple or pallet forks besides the bucket you will end up converting to...

    Good source for 2,4-DB herbicide?

    I have used these folks for online sales and they met expectations but I only see 2,4-D and not 2,4-dB. Perhaps they don’t have it up on their site, might be worth a call. https://www.solutionsstores.com/herbicide

    Good source for 2,4-DB herbicide?

    I believe WinField United is the manufacture of 2,4-bD or at least a supplier. They do list a find a retailer application. https://www.winfieldunited.com/products/herbicides/24-db200/43 They also have the data sheet available and I did find this. Like you I have read that 2,4 - dB will not...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Even with a Lock n Lube , Milwaukee grease gun , lubing the tractor is still not one of my favorite activities , loL 🤣. I think I was duped into thinking that a Lock n Lube and a cordless grease gun was going to make greasing a joy! LOL, JK It was still good day enjoying the place...

    Do you need a truck?

    Cool pictures! Don't get me wrong, I love the CJ platform. Raced a CJ2A in class 4 off road racing, way back before the dawn of trophy trucks etc. Back then class 4 was four wheel drive modified. Pretty much anything went. The pictures go back to the days (circa 1975 or 1976) when Fort...
