    Anyone lost a child before their time.

    Life is so fleeting... Men like your son seem to be "old souls," far wiser than the average mortal. They live life to the fullest measure, usually in service to others. To them, their life is nothing unusual. The rest of us who take note, stand in awe. It is as if they know they have a limited...

    Candy, Yum-Yum

    Congrats to all!!! I met my wife fresh of her divorce and married her as soon as her divorce was final (62 days after our first date). Most said it wouldn't last. As the Cat Steven's song goes, "I was lookin' for a hard-headed woman..." and I found her. I tell her I am the only one who coulda...

    Gear Whine

    When I test drove my L3800, I thought it was going to explode in high range and 2000 rpm! My friend who went with me to look at it has a very nice green tractor that probably has 18hp tops. His little Yanmar diesel is quiet as can be. He thought there was something wrong with it too. :) Now I...

    Spell Check

    Spellcheckers... Computers... Web pages... Its all technology. Technology is wonderful when it "aids you" in a task. Washing machine... who the heck wants to wash clothes the old way? We could, if we had to but, as long as we have electricity, why do it? Technology frees us up to do other...

    How many hours is too many?

    Find it a home inside and it will last a lot longer. Imagine leaving your Chevy outside with no hood on it to protect the motor and parts. That is essentially what a tractor is, an exposed drive train with minimal coverage. Rust alone, not to mention seals attacked by UV and temperature will...

    B2440

    Tell your Auntie she ought to try it with the tiller in the mud... might give her better traction. Harvesting cane, what does the tractor do? Pull a wagon?

    Gear Whine

    Whatever it takes to complete the mission!!! I wear a AM/FM headset but I am not sure that would work for you over there... Mine does plug into iPod devices too. Tunes make the noise more palatable and the headphones cut that noise by 2/3.

    FEL Shoes

    Buddy bought three for his 3800 loader in November and swears by them. It makes his job so much easier than using the snow machine on four passes. Now he can get it done in two. Occasionally catches a tad of gravel but not much and not often. He runs in float and goes to town. Now he is...

    Battery size question

    I measured my original battery and noted the positive lug location and went to Costco and bought an Interstate that fits in perfectly and has 30% more CCA. OK, I live in AZ but, my barn gets down in the 40's at night. Ten seconds on glow and that piggy starts up right now. You can never have...

    Does Kubota care?

    A few years back, I was in the market for a go kart. Not your average go kart but the kart equivalent of an F1 car: A Tony Kart shifter kart. Out the door, these Italian marvels run about $10,000 with a motor and all the extras you need to race. I found a last-years model that was on the market...

    Just purchased BX24 2006

    Your dealer may have just serviced your machine before the sale... Look at the engine oil filter for weeps... Look at the two hydraulic filters underneath for weeps... Look at the oil drain nut on the bottom of the engine pan... Look at hoses and where they attach. A hose may have been...

    OPC~Seat Switch

    Wxman, Try bending the seat switch bracket up so the switch makes better contact with the seat. I bent mine on my 3800 and I can wiggle and not shut the machine down. Flimsy seats....

    DeKalb Ads

    Am I the only one getting bombarded by DeKalb videos? I'll be at the bottom of the page and they'll start up. Dang! These are annoying!!! I know the site needs some revenue from ad traffic but, this is getting silly.

    I'm in love and need objective opinion

    On my monitor it shows pretty close to Kubota Orange II. Might have been the color balance on your camera? Looks an awful lot like a re-spray to the new color. Or, a color close to the new color that was cheaper than Kubota paint. ???

    Pat's Easy Change System

    I bought a used tractor that came with three KingKutter implements. KingKutter appears to keep all their pin spacing very close so another style hitch mount may have worked in my application... My big concern was getting the two lower pins hooked up. Even with common pin spacing, I was doing...
