    I've been sicker ....

    Yes, very clever for the current admin to not rush this through OSHA. They were quick to publish that this was coming, knowing many companies would begin adjusting employee handbook policies. They could potentially accomplish what they wanted without being the villain. Yes, we do all have...

    I've been sicker ....

    Every single one where you work in a company that employs >100 people. And some states, like NY and CA, for example, have ordered all state workers to take it. Of course you don't have to, you'll just lose your job. Some people have worked their entire careers in the same job, with pensions on...

    How to deal with liars

    It's a shame that discussion on the most prominent topics today get shut down. I like this forum because there are viewpoints on both sides. No reason not to keep it civil. Discussion might help people understand each other's viewpoints.

    How to deal with liars

    Lol, that was just a fun example. I consider myself to be a Ford guy; had more Super Duty trucks than any other brand. But I've recently switched to RAM / Cummins trucks and I think I like them a tad more. (Still have one Super Duty still, an old 6.0L even! It's making money for me, so I keep it...

    How to deal with liars

    I know, but it seems a shame life-long friendships need to end this way.

    Stink bugs

    Wow, glad we don't have this problem too much in NH where I live. Probably too cold in the winter.

    How to deal with liars

    Imagine inviting some friends over to your place for a nice dinner and gathering, and you're all out on the deck. Some loudmouth who came with someone else notices your brand new Super Duty truck sitting in the driveway and promptly begins to "educate" you on why you made the worst possible...

    I've been sicker ....

    Each year, about 650,000 people in the US die from heart disease. Each year, and additional 600,000 die from cancer in the US. Even though this has been going on for years, I still don't see mandated fruits and vegetables, nor do I see fast food or tobacco banned. That "700,000" number is for 18...

    L3560 snow removal help

    With a front end loader on a tractor, it's hard (not impossible though) to get stuck. The loader can be used to "assist" the tractor backwards, or even forwards, and lift front tires sunk in mud or snow. It won't assist with a rollover situation though.

    Better than hauling buckets

    Nice! I have a 275 gallon water tote, but its over 2,000lbs filled with water and I just carry it in the back of my truck.

    Grand L 4060 HSTC initial review

    One more general update on my machine, with another summer of mowing behind me: The tractor has been totally reliable. The radiator cores can get clogged up and cleaning them is more difficult on this tractor. In the field, I try to find a thicker grass stalk which is soft enough to not damage...

    Grand L 4060 HSTC initial review

    @kdparker, here's my quick conclusion: with the R4 rims set to their widest position, the rear tires filled with RimGuard to 75%, and my 2" Bro-Tek spacers...this tractor is as stable as any of my other open-station Kubotas and I have total confidence in operating on steep slopes. Like you...

    B2650 Cab Noise Reduction

    Nice work with the dynomat! I've never been in a cab version of the B series. My Grand L 60 has the quietest hydro I've ever used. The loudest was my L2501. As for A/C performance, tinting the windows is a big help. On a sunny day, you're basically in a greenhouse.

    L6060 steering binding

    Thanks, that helps a lot. I guess "steering controller" threw me off, that device is a steering box to me, very similar to what would be on a car without rack and pinion steering. And thanks for providing exactly the other parts needed. I live in NH where we do have some hot days in the summer...

    L6060 steering binding

    dgtvrpepair, for those who have not been following the whole thread, can you clarify what needs to be done to correct this problem in simple steps? I do not know where the steering controller is located, what size new hose needs to be run, how long, etc. Is the extra cooler necessary...

    Temporary power steering loss on nearly new L4060

    This is the other thread on this same topic that dgtvrpepair referred to when he suggested the google search: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/l6060-steering-binding.30391/page-4 My symptoms are very similar and particularly effected by heat. I back the tractor and flail mower...

    Chip DPF Delete Discussion

    Unfortunately that model has a bad reputation from the emissions standpoint, and living in a cold climate is the worst possible scenario. I think in short, the problem is that the DPF is too small. The updated model uses a larger DPF similar to the ones used on larger Kubota models. Those...

    Kubota Grand L 60 series seat bottoms out

    I'm the OP, now with about 300 hours on the tractor and still suffering with the original seat that bottoms out every time I sit in it, lol.
