    First time tractor buying advice.

    That's yet another scam listing, "send me the money through a very real looking ebay check out site by wire transfer". It's tough to think that people from all around the globe consider scamming us as their full time job. It's not just tractors it's done with everything. If you sent them the...

    Trying to find Ballast Box

    I like your chain saw idea, as I filled mine with bags of gravel, I might just lift them out and insert something similar to carry a chain saw, then put my bags of gravel back in. Like you I have a dolly onto which I unload the ballast box, makes it real easy to store and then to reinstall back...

    Can my B2601 handle this?

    These are nice mowers, Italian made. The deck is 4mm / 8 gauge thickness. Also sold by Everything Attachments at a similar price including delivery over a large part of the US. Your B2601 can handle it depending on what you are cutting and how fast.

    L3901: Hydraulic fluid leak fixed. Plus a couple questions.

    Jose, welcome to the forum and your new L3901, I have one too and think it’s a good choice. Glad to hear your issue was a quickly fixed, it’s disappointing to have these issues but hopefully you will have no more.

    Woodmaxx SB60 snow blower

    If you end up buying one, I think you will really like the quality and the operation. Hope my input has been useful

    48", 54", or 60" disc Harrow?

    Weight is important as is disc angle. I run a heavy wider set on my MX5800 that I purchased from Everything Attachments. I think 5’ wide unit should work for you.

    Woodmaxx SB60 snow blower

    I’ve had a Woodmaxx SB-72 for a number of years and have run it on my l3200 hst, L3901, and MX5800. All run it fine. I just purchased a second WoodMaxx snow blower this time a SB-60 to be run on my L3200 at another location over the winter. I see that WoodMaxx recommends the SB-60 from 18 - 30...

    Wood chipper

    I run a belt driven WoodMaxx 9900 chipper, I’ve never had the belt slip or had a jam, the variable speed two large infeed rollers, and 9” opening just eat anything that is fed into it. US made, great support from WoodMaxx. In the event of an issue, I’m more comfortable with belts than direct...

    Used Dump Trailer For My BX25D - Video

    James, it looks great, rim and hub should be an easy repair. I am so ready to get my trailer out but we still have knee deep snow at my place in Northern MI. I’m adding rear remotes to my L3200 next week, at least dealer is, so all my tractors have rear remotes. I think the 6’ is a nice compact...

    New Subsoiler

    That looks like a fine job, I purchased one from TSC last year and used it behind my L3200 and L3901 to break up ground and clear roots in woodland areas that I cleared. Mine has a little more paint on it but yours looks like it will work just as well.

    Adding Rear Hydraulics

    Thanks for input and comments above. I liked GeoHorn's video and solution but unfortunately my L3200 does not have a loader or loader valve. I'm pretty handy but just like the OP I am a little lost without the correct kit and some installation instructions on adding rear remotes. Dealer did a...

    Adding Rear Hydraulics

    A set of two rear remotes is one function, at least in my definition. The labor element of my quote is $160 so the parts are $990. I believe you can have up to 3 sets of rear remotes on most compact Kubota tractors. The second and third sets are cheaper for the parts typically. Rear remotes...

    Adding Rear Hydraulics

    I'm just about to have my local Kubota dealer add a first set of rear remotes to a 2011 L3200 HST that I own, it is my only tractor that I don't have rear remotes on. I don't have the part numbers or kit info but I will tell you that my estimate for parts and labor is $1,150 for the first set...

    Newbie Needs Used Advice

    Seems like the scams are just constant, I called and left a VM recently to an ad, it had a local area code number. Eventually the widow who had moved south got back to me after texting and asking for my email. She explained that Ebay was managing the sale and sent me a very realistic looking...

    130 hour update (B2650)

    It's nice to see positive praise and not just problems, the only complaint I have is just not enough time in the seat of my tractors, work keeps getting in the way. I hope to change that in the next few years and put some more hours on my tractors .... lol. Like you I have had very few issues...

    Interesting find on YouTube.

    Someone was pretty serious about their grading with this machine, very cool!
