    Time for greasing everything

    Here's the low down on Moly based grease. Anything over 5% Moly, do not use on roller/ball bearings. The Valvoline grease uses lithium base with 3% Moly. Moly is the slickest lubricant on the planet, and because of it, does not stay in place. Been using the Valvoline Moly for decades without...

    Grease selection

    Too slick? Thats a first LOL. Moly is the slickest lubricant on the planet, but because it is so slick, it doesn't stick so has to be blended with other bases. Ford recommends a Moly based lube for all axle bearings, which are roller bearings, that is until Ford stopped using wheel bearings...

    Trailer for your tractor

    Actually a deck over is my preferred trailer, unlimited use then, but availability is scarce and they are not cheap either. Here is one I found that I think fits the bill, 102 x 24 14K , $10,500, about a 4 hour drive from me. The only true downside of upgrading the trailer from a 3K...

    Trailer for your tractor

    There are some of those on the lot too. I can also go to a gooseneck with the 5th wheel conversion, but those are a bit pricey. One other thing that I may put the trailer to use for is delivering hay, hence the removable side rails. At least I have plenty of options to play with. So if you...

    Is the equipment shortage ending? Probably not, but look at this JD dealer's lot.

    There is an L3560HSTC at my dealer, BUT, no loader. I would have to either wait for the loader to arrive, or have two payments, or pay cash for the loader when it comes in, but the loader is actually what I need the most so I can put pallet forks on it. So I am stuck in limbo waiting for...

    Trailer for your tractor

    Thats quite helpful. Not sure what the BH70-x weighs, or if I will even get a subframe and transfer it, I decided keeping the B2410 is going to be a good idea as I can always use 2 tractors to save time and it's paid for. I have a horse trailer I plan to sell next year once I get the title...

    Trailer for your tractor

    While I don't have a big tractor yet, I am contemplating selling my 5.5 x 10' flatbed and getting a different trailer so that I can transport the tractor with implements like the mower or tiller. Thinking a 20' bed, but what weight would I get, 10K or 14K? The B2410 can get away with a 7K...

    L4060 vs ??

    I need the weight and PTO HP, and is a bit borderline on what I plan to use it for, but fits the budget. Only accessory I need are pallet forks, have pretty much everything else since I have a B2410 doing a lot. The tiller will work a LOT better on the L4060, thats a given. Running a baler and...

    L4060 vs ??

    Yes he does, but not a L4060 to a JD. I searched all over for one. I finally just started looking at all the JD models before finding the closest match. Well, I thought I was getting an L4060 HSTC-LE. Turns out they sold it 2 months ago but never removed it from inventory. I had just found...

    L4060 vs ??

    I haven't seen the loader in person, so I called to find out. If you look at the pictures of the loader, it looks like everything is pinned in place and doesn't come off. They told me that the entire loader comes off now, including the frame. There are two latches inside the frame where the...

    Compacts are built in the Jefferson GA facility going on 8 years now. That page is a bit out of date since new facilities were opened in 2017. The Lincolnshire facility looks like they may just assemble the engines or warehouse them there. It just so happens to be across from a company I used...

    What radio did you put in YOUR Cab?

    Now THAT'S a tricked out tractor! That Dynamat should really cut down on vibrations. Did the plastic come in black or did you paint it?

    Wood Splitter: Self-contained vs Tractor Powered?

    I could probably do that on the L4060. My B2410 has been too reliable the way it is, why jinx it. I am having 2 duals installed in the rear, and could probably have Power Beyond on that one too.

    Wood Splitter: Self-contained vs Tractor Powered?

    That would require opening up the hydraulics and adding the lines though in order to hook it up, right now it only has the loader controls. I wouldn't even know what to look for in order to tap into the system.

    Kubota KTAC Insurance

    I sent an inquiry in to a nationwide rep near me, waiting to hear back as they are ag specialists for farm and ranch and am looking to change carriers if I can get better rates and lower deductible. My auto insurance is with Gieco, 3 cars and an RV, and no one has YET been able to beat their...

    3rd party accessories?

    I am more looking at aftermarket things you can't get at a dealer. Mainly for my old B2410 that Kubota never made for it.

    L4060 vs ??

    Agreed and is exactly what I am doing too! Considering I ran my NH 273 baler yesterday with my B2410, HP wont be the issue, but the weight and ground clearance will be. That baler really moved the little tractor around. I would not have been surprised if I put it in neutral and watched it...

    Are they manufactured here, or just assembled here from overseas components? Would be nice to know what their factory production schedules are like to get some idea what models will be shipping and when. At least if you order a truck you can track it's progress up to delivery, not so with...

    Biodiesel in Modern Tractors

    ^^ What he said. Years ago, when diesel first surpassed the cost of gas, I looked into it, but the process and equipment and sourcing of used fryer oil was beyond my means to save a few bucks...

    Wood Splitter: Self-contained vs Tractor Powered?

    3PT is fine IF your tractor has the output for it. If not, my B2410 doesn't, then you need a tank and PTO pump. That doubles the price of the splitter and puts it at the same cost as a self contained. My Woods BH70-x is all self contained, no need to rely on the tractors hydraulics to run the...
