That's about what it takes. There HAS to be a better design--doesn't there?

You are correct. Should have said "That is how they TRY to keep folks from killing themselves". In the short time I have been on this forum it is amazing how many people do not read the manual. Heck there was a guy last week that didn't know where the throttle was or how to get the tractor to...

I know that we see a lot of problems trying (successfully) to be solved on here so I wanted to update folks on my 12 year old Bush Hog 286 problem I had and the final solution. I needed to change my blades and so I hit youtube. Very good videos and watched most all of them to get hints...

I do have both 4WD and FEL. I have never noticed any problems picking it up, although I really never do, but it is quite heavy. Put new blades on and cuts like my BH finish mower, just not as low.

I do not see anything in that photo that would give any of your choices a problem. If the whole area is the same you can go with any of them. I routinely do my 8 acres with my L4400 (37.5 PTO) and a 6 foot Bush Hog 286 in about 2.5-3 hours. Now I keep it cut very short, as it is part of my...

That's to keep folks from killing themselves. 😁 But I hear what your saying.

Great point. They hate me. I call at least 2-3 times a year before I dig even if I 'think' I remember where the lines were.

One of the fun things about this forum is learning what happened after suggestions and advice. Then others following along can do the same or something different if it didn't work. Did you ever get this project done?

Okay. You have 2 ways of moving the tractor--throttle advance not one of them. 1) The foot pedal. Push, go, easy. 2) the manual lever or as I call it the cruise control. Using those terms please explain the problem. Because as I read above you do not have a problem as the tractor should NOT...

Hooking up,to the pto....end of discussion for me.

If it works...great find

You'll be fine either way. The low end is perfectly fine.

Save the hammer and buy a quick hitch--for $99 at HF (or $79 with super coupon). Back up, lift and go. When you are done back up, lower, and go. No hammer, hatchet, axe, lube or mallet needed. :)

I'd like to see a photo of the area we are talking about. Just for reference. Is it overtaking trees? Mainly ground?

I'm in Alabama and BIGO is absolutely correct. I'm sure you could cut it fine with the above suggestions but it will return thicker and mad. I'd spray it dead. Depending on your location and land permitting burn it once dead. If burning is not possible (safe) then I'd come back over it with...

I find these helpful. Not so much to cover the zerk fitting, as most just hang open, but to easily identify all points to grease. I add them to my implements as well. May work well for you. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0779K66DW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

Not to dicker but here is the manual. There is nothing in there about 15w-40. However from the other comments I take it it doesn’t matter.

Okay I purchased this tractor about a year ago, used. When I brought it home I changed the oil...along with a lot of other things. I purchased the oil from the dealer And didnt think anything about it. I just changed again today and here is my question. I knew I had some left over Kubota oil I...

Who won?
