    Truck / trailer questions

    If you buy a bigger tractor and/or trailer later, you may need a 3/4 ton. The price of new trucks these days is outrageous. Buy once and never lose money if you have to trade up. And of course, price seriously depends on how you option the truck. You may have to special order if you want a...

    Tiller Speed?

    A respectfull word from experience.... and age... I tilled medium and large grandma's gardens in the 1970's. I tilled large lots and acres of land for commercial lots. All in the 1970's and 1980's. All with a Kubota B7100, which is 16 HP. And a 48" PTO rototiller. If it was a small garden...

    Tiller Speed?

    As I said at my first response. Killing ants with a hammer. OP has a large compact tractor with the ability to rototill acres. Acres. ACRES! And he's rototilling three 20' by 4-foot patches. And he/she says it goes too fast. 20 by 4-foot patches is what is usually just waste on the side...

    Tiller Speed?

    If I'm reading the original post correctly, his / her garden is only 20 feet long. The length of the tractor plus a couple feet.

    How do I get work done on my tractor, been black listed!?

    In my opinion: It comes down to three things.... 1> The Insurance / Dealer / Manufacturer doesn't want to pay. As usual. As a group or as an individual company. That will run its course and it WILL take time. Be patient if you are in the right. Be patient. Seems like Blacklisted, but be...

    PipBoy Holders... The FallOut Series..

    Finished the first season. It's not bad. If you've played the game for years, you will understand. Folks that didn't play the game may be confused or turn it off. The games focus more on righteous goals. The Brotherhood, the NCR and the clans (clans not seen in the series), are secondary...

    PipBoy Holders... The FallOut Series..

    I watched the first few episodes of the Amazon Prime series FallOut. Having played and gotten immersed into the various renditions of the Bethesda games, for YEARS. I am rating this series at about 60 percent good.

    Broken Oil Drain Plug

    @fried1765 : An appropriately sized wrench on the plug. You remove the plug head after drilling. I will agree: A whole new pan is best for resale.

    Kubota electric for kids

    Not that it matters, but I'm not a fan of the BX slams. Some are just too proud of their giant compact tractors. LOL. Which are simple toys compared to real tractors. IT never ends until the biggest is made and the guy who has the bread to buy it. He must be King. ? Right? BX folks, I've...

    Kubota electric for kids

    Get a few rattle cans of orange Krylon for plastic, masking tape and go to town. They come in several colors... but not orange. Red is close. Maybe even get some Kubota stickers from the dealer... 3 in 1 Ride on Tractor Excavator Bulldozer Electric Kids Car - On Sale - Bed Bath & Beyond -...

    Look what followed me home! Too Big?

    If it's too big and heavy to be useful, it's nothing a tape measure, straight edge, sharpie, and an angle grinder with a metal cutting blade or 5 can't fix. But i think you be fine with it. But you might have to deal with a little bit of tail wagging the dog.

    Burned by EA

    What OTT members suggest as a whole is usually not inline with my personal opinion. My experience was mostly with ground engagement implements on a commercial level and not hobby tractors. So, please take my advice with a grain of salt... If I were shopping for a grapple, I wouldn't be...
