    Kubota Super UDT Fluid

    I have read the following here: UDT-old blend no longer sold SUDT-semi synthetic SUDT2-full synthetic I have a L4600DT and use SUDT2, it's once ever 400 hours or 8 years for me so I bite the bullet and pay the extra which is not much after you subtract the cost of what you buy from the cost of...

    OEM Fluids

    Lot of discussion here on what fluids to use in your equipment and opinions vary. Some strictly OEM, others Amsoil, some what is cheapest, it varies and I am no different. I use Amsoil, SUDT2, Mobile 1, Rotella T6, Exmark hydro.... I wanted to share what happened yesterday at my local Exmark...

    Leave it running or shut it off

    I'm in the leave it running crowd myself, idle for me is little less than 1000. I keep it at 1200 most of the time when just messing around and I use the 10 minute rule myself. I too don't care about the hours, no intentions of ever getting rid of mine and I call my 4600 the fuel sipper. I ran...

    When to use dirt after tilling?

    I do similar for my garden though I plant oats. In the spring when they take off I mow them putting organic mater back in the soil, repeat until ready to plant the garden. I also add leaves to mine garden during the winter just not too deep that the oats can't grow. For our not so good soil...

    Size Disc Harrow 47 hp Kubota MX 4700

    Another option for improved cut is to get one you can adjust the pitch. It was free so I pull a 5' disk with my 46hp tractor, it does not know it is there but again it was free so I use it. When cutting my plots for the first time each year I pitch the front to the max and tilt disk down in...

    Anyone getting the fever yet?

    Great afternoon, my 4 year old Ella and I spent some time at the deer land. Checked out some of the big white oaks to see if they were dropping yet and they were. Taught her how to look for droppings so we could see which tree the deer were visiting the most. What a blast throwing deer pooh at...

    Anyone getting the fever yet?

    That rascal has some shoulders on him, as you know ours are much smaller down here in NC. I do get to shoot 6 though so maybe it works out in the end for meat to eat:) Good luck BB, I'm heading to our land after work today to enjoy the outdoors for a few hours, only mid 80's here today....

    Anyone getting the fever yet?

    Agree with Skeets, run a lot of trail cameras and have pics of the same buck on my property 3 straight years. He was easy to mark because his left brow tine always grew straight back near the end. Top few inches pointed back toward his tail. Same with a doe, she had a torn ear and stayed around...

    Land Plane strategy

    I do not but can take some pics for you. In words I grade the road to remove all ruts if any and get her smooth. I then select the places I want to divert the water and drop some material there. I then take a steel tooth rake and create a 4" "bump at a angle to the ditch. It is very simple, as...

    L4600-Lift Capacity-Surprised

    Had Katie for 5 years now and moved quiet a bit of dirt with her but never lifted anything that I knew the weight of. Last night came home with pallets of corn that I needed to unload. Only had the pallet forks for couple of months so was not sure she would lift the skids of corn as they were...

    How much grease for loader?

    Katie Kubota lives under a shelter off the side of the barn. It has a dirt floor and that is where I service her at as well. I use paper towels to wipe up my mess, rarely have any get on the floor, my pants a different story. I like to clean around each zerk after greasing and I install a...

    Land Plane strategy

    Had my plane for about 7 years and have couple thousand feet I maintain with mine. Couple things I have learned. 1-Easy to use once you get it set. 2-Road must be free of leaves, sticks, grass, pine straw etc. to work effective. The fore mentioned will build up in the box and not allow free and...

    Front Tire Replacement on L3400

    No experience with the tire but with regards to changing it. I ran over something and it poked a hole in my front tire, took about a week for it to leak down so I opted to put a patch inside. Spent 2 hours with help trying to get it back on with no luck. Loaded tire in truck and a 3 mile...

    Grease guns and grease

    Nothing to quantify with but I will say my Dewalt 20V has been great for 2 years now. I bought it on Amazon, grease gun only because I had plenty of batteries. I later bought the lock n lube as many have suggested and it is worth it's weight in gold. I decided to go with the battery operated...

    Bad service

    Bad service seems to align with a boom in business around here. More the demand less the service! My local Orange dealer is amazing. The dealer is 45 minutes from my house, not bad but does not align well with my standard work hours to go and get things I need. So, I call my salesman tell him...

    New to the site and going to look at a tractor!!

    Sounds like you have it covered but depending on what you want to use the back blade for may want to consider a box blade. the box blade will do a better job moving dirt and a nice counter balance(ballast) when using loader without your hoe on the back. I have a landscape rake I use like a back...
