    Adding Snow Plow- Switching Hydraulic Line Question?

    My buddies that have used these type plows and truck plows all tell me the first thing they do is remove the skids. They said they are worthless unless your plowing a gravel road (which I don't plan to). I also watched a youtube video with Paul Short. He has a ton of plowing experience. Check...

    Adding Snow Plow- Switching Hydraulic Line Question?

    The cylinders on the plow I'm buying are two way cylinders. Exactly like the cylinders on my front end loader. See pic below. I just don't see spending an extra $1,100 on installing a 3rd function when I don't have to.

    Adding Snow Plow- Switching Hydraulic Line Question?

    Yeah, I don't have rear remotes. The L grand series has the 4 stage valve system. Slight push is regen and full push to left or right gives you power dump which will operate a single action hydr cylinder. Actually, the hydraulic cylinders that come on this plow are dual action cylinders. Hoses...

    Kodiak Bush Hog Rotary Cutter Bolt Size? Anyone know?

    Hey guys. I have a fairly new Kodiak 6 ft. Rotary Cutter and I need to remove the blades. It has a large bolt that needs to be removed. It's larger than my largest 1 1/2 inch socket. Does anyone know the exact size of this nut? And does Tractor Supply sell a socket to fit it? Lowes does not. The...

    Need a heavy duty tow hitch

    I bought my receiver/hitch from Agri Supply. Went with the 2 inch receiver that's rated for 20,000 lbs and 2,000 lbs tongue weight. I put the 2 5/16th ball on it that is rated for 15,000 lbs. The whole setup was less than $40. Solid. I have 0 worries when towing with this setup. I tow just over...

    L4060 hstc or M7060 cab?

    I moved up this year from the L3200 to the Grand L 4060 HSTC. I absolutely love it. I maintain about the same land you do minus the pond. All my implements are 6' and the 4060 handles it with power to spare. Love the roomy cab and locations of controls. My vote is for the 4060 for obvious...

    Hey guys. Just as the title states, I'm trying to decide if I drop $9,600 on the Kubota backhoe and subframe kit for my Grand L 4060 or do I save thousands and pick up the Woodmaxx WM-8600 3 point self contained backhoe for $5k? Anyone have the Woodmaxx unit? Thoughts...

    I live just outside of Winston Salem. I bought my Grand L 4060 from Riddle Tractor here in Winston Salem. I paid $35k cash for it. They included an installed stereo and rear works lights for that price. At the time, Kubota was offering a $1,500 additional rebate for paying cash. When I found out...

    Hey. Sorry, just saw this message from you. I'll try to answer all the questions. First, my opinion is the HST trans is more quiet than my previous L3200. The cab may have something to do with that. If I were going to use a tractor as you described, I would get the HST hands down. It just makes...

    Don't Follow the Crowd

    That's so true. I've always said, no one on their death bed wishes they had spent more time at the office or at work. My son turns 14 this summer and truthfully, he was just 5 yesterday. If you don't believe time flies, look at the face of your child. I recently found out my office has black...

    Well, if it comes before the last week of June and all of July, that would be great. They are closing down my office because they found black mold in the walls. They are completely gutting the department from the outside in. We will be closed for 4 weeks they tell us. You know how construction...

    Successful Ways to Advertise to get Tractor Work

    Okay guys. I took a portion of everyone's advice. Obviously I couldn't follow every recommendation because some were conflicting. After much time spent and about $300, I have done the following as suggested. 1. Removed all pricing details from every point of advertisement. 2. Reduced the...
