My experience may be a bit different from that of other folks. You see, coming from an aviation background, one is always wearing hearing protection. The modern trend is to stream audio to headphones while in flight. Personally, I don't stream any audio to my headphones. Can't stand the risk...

More importantly, the brackets to mount implements to the frame are often terribly hard to find. In general, I believe as soon as Kubota stops manufacturing a particular model of tractor they also stop manufacturing the brackets to mount things like mid-mount mowers. At least that seems to be...

If you were closer I'd buy it just to get the brackets... :-)

Those mowers are remote controlled, not autonomous. Husquvarna sells a much better fully autonomous solution. For a LOT less money. The manufacturer advertises that the unit contains no fluids harmful to your lawn. Ahhh what about the gasoline that runs the engine? Way too much money for...

Better still, a 3pth-mounted mower that mounts/dismounts quickly, then a small push mower to cut the places inaccessible to the tractor. I have MMM's on two of my B-series tractors. They do a fantastic job of cutting, but are true PITA to mount/dismount. So much so that I mount them in the...

Ahhh that makes more sense! Four thousand feet would mean you had an airline operation going there! :-) The S7 on big wheels will get into some tight places, that's for sure. Glad to hear this new mower is working well for you.

The original zerk was threaded and the hole is tapped, but it's in relatively thin-wall tube so there is minimal ability to get thread engagement. I've installed a standard hex-base zerk and it seems to be holding, for now. The manufacturer should have welded a boss on the pivot housing such...

That looks like a heck of a good find. Kubota power seems to be pretty dependable power. As a fellow pilot I'm curious to know what it is that's the main occupant of that hangar. Four thousand feet of grass sounds pretty sweet! I built and fly a Glasair Sportsman (no, not the Two Weeks to...

In my post above you'll see the comment where I mention the grease zerk actually pulled out of the pivot mount the first time I greased it. This happened because they installed a grease zerk with only two full threads on its threaded shank. Had they welded a "nut" or something similar onto the...

Think about where the clutch is located in the HST driveline. Draw a mental picture. Engine---XclutchX---hydrostatic motor---range selector---4x4 selector ...................|---PTO The clutch is depressed when starting in order to isolate the engine from the hydrostatic drive and especially...

Last winter I purchased a used Pioneer (John Deere) RC2048 rotary cutter (bush hog) to run behind the B7510s. The circumstances surrounding the purchase (blinding snowstorm that arrived as I pulled into the vendor's lane) prevented a thorough pre-buy inspection. I know, caveat emptor...

Please, please don't fall into this trap of "Made in the USA". Virtually nothing is made in the USA fully and completely. I recently had to replace bushings in my Pioneer (John Deere) rotary cutter. One pair of bushings came in a bag marked "Made in China", the other bag was marked "Made in...

Well, we got off with just a skiff of snow rather than the 4-6 inches predicted, and like Bearbait, the wind has howled all night and is still shaking the house this morning. BUT... the skies are clear blue and the sun is shining, so I'm hopeful. Hope springs eternal! I'm thinking by...

Here it is the 22nd of March and it's snowing again... after a very long, very snowy winter. What I want to know is which one of you doofuses took your snowblower off your Kubota, thereby taunting the Snow Gods into dumping more of their wares upon us?!?!?!?!?! :D:p:eek: Just kidding, really...

Sorry, having a hard time typing as I'm chuckling away to myself. Your comments reminded me of an incident that occurred while my father was nursing his ailing wife. She needed medication that was stuck in a pill bottle that had a "safety cap" that my Dad just couldn't figure out how to open...

Thank you for your patient explanation. I hadn't thought of a rolling "flamer" for agricultural use since I haven't had exposure to most of the crops that seem best suited to this weed control technique. That having been said, I've been using a hand-held flamer for weed control around our home...

I can't speak to the L-series tractors but on my B-series tractors the seat safety switches are very easy to see on the seat mount. That is, the tractors that have them! My B7510s both have seat switches, while the slightly older B2410 has no such thing and no provisions to install one...

Please educate me... What the heck is a striper? I see the striped grass, just don't understand what implement makes it that way. Would be very handy to stripe the grass runway at the airport to make it more visible than the surrounding longer non-runway grass. BTW I cut a ton of grass at the...

I know nothing about growing grapes, so please forgive what I am sure is a dumb question... What is a "flamer"? How is it used? Why is it used? Thanks for supporting me as I attempt to improve my knowledge!

Do you have the frame mount brackets for the rear attachment point? These are the brackets through which the round cross pin couples the rear end of the quick hitch to the tractor. Those little devils are very difficult to find, thus having quite an impact on the value of any quick hitch being...
