    Just a little more horsepower

    It isn't a street legal truck so EPA has no say in it. Their target market is race cars and as long as those fall within the race rules and stay off the road the EPA really doesn't have anything to do with it. Plus much more pollution is caused in other forms than some rednecks compensating down...

    Just a little more horsepower

    The truck was on a dyno pushing over 2.9k horsepower not just revving to oblivion, and under more load than your 350 has ever seen. I would hazard that if they didn't run the wrong tune the first time that the motor would have held together. The second run immediately after on a heat soaked...

    Excavation Cost shocker

    If they are outside pushing distance maybe make a pile and move a few bucket loads a day with the loader. It'll take forever and would get more difficult the longer the pile is there but at least it only costs time, maintenance, and fuel at that point.

    Ferris Question

    Oliver I think you are right, my bad. In that case you can disregard the scalping concern but, I would still start at medium preload and adjust to your comfort level from there while keeping the quality of cut that you'd like. I'd assume going too fast on too light of preload that you loose...

    Ferris Question

    Daren his ferris has an actual suspension setup that separates the mower deck from the chassis so it is a little different. Kenny, I think that it depends on your yard. If think if you think your lawn is fairly smooth start in the middle, if you think your yard is rougher then I'd start...

    Has anyone ever owned or tried one of these

    I have not used one of those or even seen one. Frankly I don't know how well it would work because the rotation would need to be redirected at least 90° then it would still need to swivel to allow for the head to sweep unless you are intended to swing your whole torso. To me it seems to add...

    3pt Sprayer Question

    I considered a smaller sprayer for a while due to the cost. However, I do not have a water source in the back of the property and it would take me 5 minutes to get back to the nearest source if I was at the closest point. So it being a 1 or 2 trip system would be what makes most sense. I am more...

    3pt Sprayer Question

    I searched the forum and didn't really find an answer to this question. Should I get a Stainless Roller Pump on my sprayer. I am currently researching/window shopping sprayers for my L2501 and would be getting a 60 or 100 gallon (I haven't made my mind up yet on which size yet since the tractor...

    Propane Grill Recommendations?

    A few quick questions. Do you have an idea of how large you want/need the cooking surface to be? Do you have a budget in mind? I also find that perfect grilling weather is whatever it happens to be whenever I decide to grill and do so year round. I currently do not have a gas grill but have...

    Need a welding opinion-

    Once you get the weld nut on there (or not) try spraying some PB Blaster or whatever your preferred penetrating oil of choice is and let that soak into the threads for a few hours. Also might be a good idea to double check that it isn't left handed threads (I doubt they are but I'd be lying if I...

    Zero Turn Mower

    If you need a mower quick try looking at a state auction or on craigslist/facebook marketplace. 2800 can get you a good used contractor grade zero turn where I am at. It won't be new and won't have a warranty but it will run a lot longer than 150 hours and it will hold it's value fairly well...

    lawn question

    2-4 D will kill it and any other broad leaf weeds/plants this year. It won't hurt your grass either. Then in the spring apply an emergence herbicide to take care of any seeds that survived the winter. The biggest thing to prevent the weeds coming back would be to get a good lawn going and not...

    Pit Barrel Cooker

    All smokers are generally the same principle and there are hundreds of books out there with thousands of recipes. The biggest struggles that you will find is trying to keep a consistent temp which again there are many solutions out there for that too or not having enough room for cut of meat you...

    What would you do? Fix, sell or both?

    You may be able to find a used or rebuilt part that would be around half the cost of a new one. On something that old putting in a used part would really help with the price gut checks. The hardest part would be that you may have to go to a nonfranchised mechanic. Depending on what the kubota...

    Slide On fork receiver hitch problem

    Your instincts are probably right. I'm assuming those are 42 or 48" forks which is a huge lever. The max lift on the loader 500mm (20") in front of the pins is 855 lbs which is about 300lbs less than at the pin (1131 lbs). So you'd be lucky if you got 400-500 lbs of lift. Also you may be...

    KTAC Question

    Also call the Kubota Credit people and ask what payment options you have. I know with my last car loan I could pay extra with no penalty but it would not delay the next payment. Instead it would just shorten the payoff date and lower principal and if I paid extra and then missed the next month...

    Kubota Newbie PTO questions

    on my L2501 the pto starts ramping up speed as the clutch is released (usually starts rotating at about 1/2 release). I don't see any issue with this because that would just be the clutch pads catching onto the drive line much like a stick shift car. If it is spinning when you have the clutch...

    Running Long Distances

    Driving the tractor 20 miles won't hurt it at all. Your tractor has plenty of cooling capacity to run all day at a crawl so full tilt on the roads will keep it cool. Also the motor can run through a whole tank of fuel in one shot without ever stopping. I do believe it is recommended to take the...

    Harbor Freight jack stand safety recall

    Sidecar, I did. Here I rebolded the second part to include the full context. They are talking about a rolling floor jack and not a bottle jack. So you can beg all you want. If there is a weight shift such as lowering a load supported by a hydraulic jack onto a jack stand where the potential...

    Harbor Freight jack stand safety recall

    First, they weren't talking about the jack stands having wheels. They were talking about the jack being used to lift the vehicle onto the stands having wheels. So the potential lateral movement from that jack lowering then loading the compromised Jack Stands. Second, they never said anything...
