HST reliability: Hate to beat the "mort pony" but, I watched rampers try and destroy HST Kubotas at my airline. Never heard of any failures. You watch a tug pulling a train of four empty baggage running full forward speed to full reverse as the rear tires start spinning backwards while the tires...

The brake part is normal. Tractors can override their parking brakes. Sounds like whomever owned this thing did all the MX on the cheap. Beware of non-standard fluids and anticipate doing a complete service on it if you get it. Hydraulic fluid and filters will run about $350 if you elect to go...

Humblebub, I think the strong-willed dogs are just the ones that are smarter than their owners! If only they could talk...:D

cn2redjeep, The smaller Kubotas are just like all smaller tractors: low mass and limited horsepower. The mass affects your ability to "dig into" a load because you cannot carry much momentum and you have little wheel weight and will spin tires quickly. Once into the load, you cannot "lift" and...

A very thin layer of grease on both mating surfaces nearly wiped off would just minimize corrosion and minimize dirt attraction. Would that be a bad thing? I think one of the main reasons Kubota recommends loader lubing every 10 hours is they know people will probably go 20 between lubes. On...

Pallet of boulders? I just loaded my smaller ones into the bucket and the bigger ones I slung. For the smaller ones, I found "hiking" them (like you'd hike a football) to be the easiest. For me at least, it doesn't strain any one muscle and after 300 moved, I don't have any lingering damage...

AWESOME PICS!!! My guys are pure silliness. Both are rescues fro the Yuma shelter that has a 95% kill rate. Awesome dogs. Rudy is the terrier and is sweet but nowhere near as smart as his "sister." Sabine is way smarter but hard-headed. At least she avoided getting bit by a rattler last year...

This guy was awesome. He was an older Hispanic guy who obviously knew his way around a body shop. They don't see many tractor hoods. When I brought it in, in this great accent, he laughed and said, "I do whah I can. I tink I can get mo soffit out." When I came back, I was drop-jawed at how nice...

RedPine, I had owned my Kubota for 18 months when I had to rent a mini-excavator from Homie 'Po. Its just a backhoe on a mini tread tank. I was hoping to get it back in under the 4-hour partial rate. I had never ever operated one and it came with no instructions. It only had about 16 levers in...

Chris, Let her drive it. Sure worked for me! :)

To paraphrase Forrest Gump's mom, "Quality is, as quality does!" Considering the 3-pt is such an elemental part of the tractor, and has been since they started making tractors with 3-pts back in what, the 30's? And don't tell your customers its what you should expect on a "entry level" tractor...

You may have seen this one... A super amazing body shop guy did this and I got charged around 20 hours labor. This took welding, beating, heating, and bondo-ing and ran me $350. Worth every penny as the factory hood (which for me is still available) was $750, paint but no stickers. I needed to...

Hell-oooh...:eek::D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfsMMVgIToA

alan, Our town is infested with deer. I am always waiting for one to jump out... That is my biggest worry. Our town is the Sturgis of Arizona with thousands of bikes headed this way next week for Bike Week. The people are bike aware. The deer are not.

I have water in my window washer reservoir. You know, the glass thing that keeps water off the navigation screen and the stereo and heater controls? :p

Lets all burn our towns down. Society is fragile on purpose. Ever wonder why a little incident like this has been pushed to the top of the media and kept there? The government wants to make our society more fragile and to push us past the breaking point. Many of the groups behind these...

Right is wrong. Wrong is right. Good is bad Bad is good. The communists have done a great job in destroying our culture from within. A friend worked for the ACLU during law school. When I advised him the ACLU was communist, he scoffed. Then I read him Roger Baldwin's quote when asked about the...

Simple Solution: Public execution of hackers online. Sounds extreme but, even SheepFarmer who wouldn't hurt a sheep was frustrated to the max after getting her electronic life hacked: It came through in her post. The cost to her in lost productivity and data loss will be huge as will be the...

Ahhh, nobody has a sense of humor anymore! :rolleyes:

Looks like the kinda stuff people bring back to Home Depot, saying, "It quit working..."
