    Operating a Wood Splitter on a L3540 Tractor

    You'll just use one remote. Given the location of the lever, it'll be a two person operation. I recommend a splitter that operates either vertical or horizontal. The cross profile wedge that gives you four pieces of wood will speed things up. Your hydraulic specs show no problem going with a...

    LX2963 snowblower: Flow diverter seems stuck

    If the diverter switch is left on, the solenoid will eventually burn out. The switch should be off unless in use.

    Looking for next step up from B7800

    I offloaded a JD1025R with a bunch of implements and upgraded to a Grand L 5460. If you think you'll pick up 1 ton pallets, this one or the 6060 will do it. The LA1055 loader can do it if you pivot the load back. One thing for sure, the extra power means you can get into trouble sooner so you...

    best 3-point quick hitch?

    Excellent point. I did the reverse as my attachments already had the larger bottom pin bushings on them. Got the older QH model and haven't looked back. BTW, I had to go with some bushings on the bottom as the 3-pt is Cat 2 on the bottom, Cat 1 on top. My hydraulic top link has a Cat1/2...

    B2601 shuts off after PTO has been engaged

    To run my PTO when not seated, I had to pivot the seat up as there was a bypass switch. When I went to an air ride seat that doesn't pivot, we installed a bypass toggle switch in one of the vacant slots. Since nobody makes one that says "PTO Bypass", a red brake drum switch works fine. My use...

    Do you buy yourself a Christmas present!

    I got all the Class 3 paperwork in for a suppressor. All titanium, multi caliber, easy to disassemble, drop into the ultrasonic to clean. My 223 can is great but I'm upping my game to 22-458. Made locally in my rural town so it's nice to support the community. BTW my 22 can is a Gemtech...

    Pape' John Deere of Aberdeen, Wa.

    Pape' abandoned Bonners Ferry a number of years ago. They do it by not replacing sales staff and then deciding to close because they have no sales. That's why I'm Orange now. Do have a Gator 865R.

    snowblower chute

    Two normal ways: 3rd function or diverter switch. I'm on the diverter but will likely pull that as I put in the 3rd function this year. If using a diverter, just use it to adjust the deflection and turn the switch back to chute rotation. That way you don't cook the solenoid on the diverter.

    Grand L4760 will i regret not going to 5460 or 6060.

    Check the specs on the models very carefully, especially the loaders. The 54/60s can take the LA1055 which means you can pivot a ton pallet. Why? The rest of the specs, especially tires and how much beet juice goes into them tell the tale. I have the L5460 and wouldn't go less. If you use a...

    First Tractor. Kabota BX23SLB

    If you're going for the 5 year no interest, crunch the numbers and you'll see how much more you'll be hit up monthly. You'll be surprised how little. The dealer will print you out all sorts of comparisons. Re: Rotary Cutter (brush hog). Get the inline shaft clutch ($210). Kubota PTO drives...

    D1105 question

    Easy to look up on Kubota Global: https://global.engine.kubota.co.jp/en/products/detail/26/ https://global.engine.kubota.co.jp/en/products/detail/23/ I'd start on these pages.

    Things we wish Kubota would hear us on.

    Ignition key location needs to be on the upper dash, not by your knee. Fuel fill on the right side of the cab is OK until the flasher lights are installed. No outside tool box. Had to go 3rd party. Step is useless for older folk. Now have a true step solution from 3rd party. Entry grab handle...

    Hydraulic top link

    Go big or go home. For my rear port, I put a large diameter unit on. It also had to be long, say 22-32 inches. When you elevate something like a brush hog to drive to a different location, the flexing as you go over bumps puts a great thrust on the top link. The 1.5 or 2 inch won't hold up...

    I'm an idiot and lost my keys. Now what?

    Another handy thing to have when your knee hits and snaps the key handle off is an inexpensive removal tool. The melt the end of a glue stick trick isn't reliable.

    Grease Gun Coupler

    I also have a zerk clog tool. It's a small cylinder you pour a bit of hydraulic fluid in. Put the cap on and insert into the zerk. Hit it with a hammer and the pressure will blow everything out. Grease up and you're good to gol

    Towing a 14' utility trailer for a hayride?

    I used to tow my 20' flatbed around with a pile of weight on it with a JD 1025R which is a similar class. Keep the FEL+Bucket on it to counter the weight. With all the stuff on it, you're only putting 300 pounds or so on the ball. Presume you have beet juice in the rear tires. These...

    Starlink & myQ garage door opener

    Using the High Performance. In the Starlink box, you should get a 3 foot cord that plugs into the power supply and has a RJ45 on the other end which goes directly into your third party router. I had one in my original Ver 1 as well. If you can't find it, they sell them on the Starlink site...

    Starlink & myQ garage door opener

    Correct. Using EERO mesh fed direct from the dish. If you can't turn off the 5GHz on the Starlink router briefly to connect the wifi to MyQ, that can be a problem. If you can, turn off, connect, turn the 5 GHz back on. Check the App and see if you can do that. Starlink routers are pretty...

    Starlink & myQ garage door opener

    Nope. I was a Beta on Ver 1 and they had me continue with the High Performance Ver 2. That's what's working fine with MyQ now.

    Starlink & myQ garage door opener

    No issues with my Starlink and MyQ. No special add on. Only potential glitch is MyQ is 2.4GHz only. You need to disable the 5GHz side briefly while it makes all the connections. BTW, I'm using an Eero mesh with a direct line from the dish/power supply. No Starlink router or ethernet...
