    My wife's Uncle purchased a Cub Cadet from a dealer, not a big box store. He asked me prior to the purchase if the Kawasaki was worth $300 more. My reply is Kawasaki is well know and used in commercial applications and I would pay extra to get one. I have nothing against Kohler.

    Lawnmower options

    FYI, At Cub Cadet dealers the Kawasaki is a few hundred dollars more than the Kohler and is considered the top of the line engine.

    Lawnmower options

    Suspension seat is the key for whatever you end up buying. Pay attention to the seat when shopping for a mower. Also lower air pressure on the rear tires of a zero turn makes a huge difference in ride comfort.

    I use my ZD323 in fields and mow 5 acres a week. It does fine but is a rough and dusty ride. I don't know how well a small deck zero turn would do. They seem to be built light for city lot type mowing. My wife's uncle used a 48" Cub Cadet for four years mowing his pasture/yard and wore out the...

    INSURANCE Rates for Farm & Ranch? Combined with Auto?

    I bundled all insurance through Farm Bureau a few years back. Saved me quite a bit on Homeowners policy and insurance for my Ford F-550. My other two cars were less expensive to insure also.

    Grapple, Add-A-Grapple, or 4 way Bucket

    I thought the 4 in 1 bucket would be the most useful attachment available. I was wrong. 4 in 1 is very heavy and does not pick up stuff as well as a grapple. I have also used forks for moving logs and clearing brush but again I do not believe they work as well as a grapple. I have 70 acres of...

    Which Root rake grapples are the toughest?

    I am also recommending CDI. I have a 4 in 1 bucket and fork set from CDI. Both are very well built and Heavy duty. As stated, made in N.C. and engineered in house vs. copying someone else design. CDI

    Counter weight vice

    Great idea! I saw a welding truck set up with a 3 jaw chuck from a lathe and he also had a large vise. It was really well thought out.

    L6060 wheel spacer size recommended

    My tractor rears are set to the widest configuration. About 1/2 of the rear tires stick out past the rear fender. This may help you visulise the spacing, dealer took right rear and mounted on left side and did the same with the left rear to right side. Tires measure 72" width overall, outside...

    Tooth Bar??

    I went with the BX expanded Piranha a couple of years ago and I have no complaints. No problems with gravel work, digging, back dragging etc. I have tires filled, 200lb wheel weights per side and mount a 1k ballast box (2300lbs rear ballast tota). So far no tire spin with the R4s except for mud.

    ballast box

    I think the folks that use sand are buying the bags of sand sold at Big box hardware stores. From what I have read they leave the sand in the bags so they can unload the box and re-use the sand. I use 6/7 gravel in mine.

    What About Your Tractor Makes You Swear?

    Oh the agony of owning a 4760 1. Center cap on steering wheel keeps popping out. 2. Unable to flip seat forward and run PTO with air ride seat. 3. No 4WD light on display screen. 4. Seat sits really low for someone that is tall.

    2014 Zg227 zero turn / need help

    I don't have a gas engined Kubota. On the diesels the fuel pump runs when the key is switched on and stays running. I believe there is a bypass return to the fuel tank that maintain a set pressure and volume of fuel to the engine. I believe that gas engines do the same.

    2014 Zg227 zero turn / need help

    I don't know your comfort level working on things like a carb. I am decent at small engine repair and have some training. I would remove bowl, work float up and down paying attention to what the needle is doing. I don't think you will need a rebuild kit but I also don't know the history of your...
