    L175 PTO high range

    It was originally designed for the tiller that often came with the tractor in the Japanese variant. It's of fairly limited use on North American equipment. One of our members has a backhoe with a PTO driven pump. One of our members has a John Deere tiller for 400/420/430 that needs 840 PTO where...

    EMP attack

    Back in 1999 I was working with a guy from India. He was fond of saying that 85% of the banks in India were Y2K compliant and the rest had computers.

    A youtube question

    As far as I know, Kubota doesn't sponsor anyone. I know of a couple of channels that run compacts sponsored by TYM. I know of one channel that runs ~10k acres sponsored by case IH. Agco, Versatile, Unverferth, and others do demo's.

    Throttle rpm?

    That's going to be dictated by how fast you want to go without slamming the loader about. You want to go fast enough to keep the engine from lugging, but not so fast that you can't keep up with the controls or so fast that your slamming into things and being hard on your equipment. With the...

    Do I need more horse power?

    By rotary mower I assume your using a brush mower. As long as you're just cutting grass and weeds, the extra rpms shouldn't hurt anything. If you're mowing saplings towards the upper end of the rated capacity, hitting rocks or stumps, etc. then you shouldn't as those things put your mower out of...

    Thinking about buying a boat

    Friends encourage friends to buy boats. It's cheaper to buy gas and beer than it is to own a boat.

    A youtube question

    I'm pretty sure I saw the same vid. I've pulled a bigger baler with a Farmall H, which had similar HP, but is much heavier, and the rpms max at 1700. I bet that the plunger really ran that tractor back and forth. I watch a few farm YT channels. Kubota doesn't really make anything big enough...

    Gun Handling, What Am I Missing?

    There are 4 rules of gun safety. You have to violate at least 2 or 3 of them at the same time for something bad to happen. Based on what I've been reading, all 4 were broken.

    Brush mower blade replacement

    So I figure I'm overdue for an update just in case anyone is interested. I ended up cutting flats in the round heads of the bolts so that a wrench would hold them. My pancake compressor is labeled at 1 hp but is probably more like 1/2hp running, but you can get about a 10-15 second burst out of...

    Brush mower blade replacement

    I bought a 3/4 drive impact wrench. I don't have enough air compressor to drive it properly but I got the nuts off plus the one on the pan. Both splines are stripped and the holes are wallered out. Think I'll try to replace the pan barring someone having a brilliant idea on how to shrink the holes

    Impact wrench

    The plan is to hold the other side with a pipe wrench. Plan B is to cut flats on the head and use a big ass adjustable wrench to hold it. I have a 40 inch breaker bar I can use once the nuts are loose. Could buy a chunk of pipe to use as a cheater. I plan to use a pipe wrench to hold the bolt...
