A Kubota L3450 GST :D It has to go places where people fear to tread.

So what was your first car that you bought and paid for yourself. I'm going to lower the tone here before it even starts: In the UK, a Citroën Dyane 6 tested by the British The Motor magazine in July 1969 had a top speed of 68.6 mph (110.4 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in...

Only way I have found is the old cold chisel and lump hammer. Wear eye protection

I've been playing in the mud :D

Sorry Guys, Thanks for the replies. By temporary I did mean switched. I took the switched and live feeds from the only points that I could find that were switched and live on the back off the ignition switch. I don't know what they were called and I haven't had time to check since. Maybe...

So, I was messing about with lights and I thought the easiest thing to do was to start a new fusebox. I took temporary 12v and permanent 12v from the back of the ignition. I installed a new fusebox on both these feeds. I brought power to a beacon LED through a switch with an LED 'light on'...

Also bear in mind that some plants, like carrots, prefer a free draining sandy soil. The beauty of growing in sand is that you know exactly what you are feeding plants. The only nutrients available to the plants are the ones that you put in.

I'm on an island off the west coast of Ireland so I know a bit about wind too :D

Place I worked had a sprayer that fitted onto a cushman mini truck. I modified a windfoil boom to tow behind so that I could spray in wind. Thing worked up to Force 7 and higher winds with zero drift. http://www.rogerssprayers.com/image/cache/catalog/WG6/WG6-1-1024x768.jpg Something like what...

Just a guess because I don't know if it applies to your tractor. There is a screw on mine to be turned 90 degrees or so when you take off or install the FEL

Yes there was a substantial find off the west coast. The government of the time decided that as a country we were too small to be playing the oil exploration game and sold our interests in it. Bottom line is you guys own it now I think. Shell

It's about $6 a US Gallon for diesel here and around $6.50 for petrol, if my calculations are right, so you guys are not doing so bad :D

Exactly what it says on the tin. How do I get the mucky oil out of my loader? It looks like engine oil. Whatever it is, it is in the tractor too under the Kubota fluid. I suppose I could take the rams off and take the pipe ends off and manually operate them to force the oil out or is there...

Today I finally built up the courage to take the loader off. What an ordeal. Got the pins out easily enough but when I tried to lift the loader up nothing happened. Had to get the lump hammer to break the seal on the front seat. Clearly this loader hadn't been off for years, if ever. Then on to...

I take the key out and shove it in between the padding and the cab roof rail.:) I knew a guy once who never locked his machines. His theory was that if someone found them locked they would assume there was some valuable tools or the like inside and break in to get them. By leaving it unlocked...

Anything to do with saving turf is probably an adaptation of another existing machine made locally. The one in the video is probably a combination of a potato harvester and a mini-digger. Necessity is the mother of invention after all :cool:

Exactly. We call it turf. It is one of the main fuels in this part of the country.

Changed a leaky pipe on the FEL. Installed a fuse box and brought 2x12 volt feeds and 4x acc feeds to it. Any day now I will have lights. And I am devising an indicator light for the 4WD because most of what I do is on mixed surfaces and it is too easy to forget to change out of 4WD. I'm going...

Embarrassed myself. After tapping at the ignition retaining nut with a screwdriver, I went off to the shed trying to think of a tool I could use to remove it only to come back to find my brother grinning saying it was only finger tight.:o I must have loosened it.......that's my story and I'm...
