    Battery maintainers

    Have used for years. Have ones on the generator driver, spare generator/gate battery and tractor battery. Only have the one on the tractor battery because I had to sell the Miata. Had it on it.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Did some wood chipping. Had hoped to catch the chips in the RTV 520, but it is too high up.

    L vs B treadle

    Our B2601 is okay now at 80 hours. Someone mentioned that there are 3 springs and that one of them could be removed.

    Motor Oil weight question

    The 5w40 still fits what you say. I use M1 0w30 European diesel rated ESP oil from Advanced Auto in both the B2601 and Isuzu generator driver. Before that, I was using VW's 5w30 Castrol for their diesels and is what I used in the VW TDI for 7 years.

    How unsnap shroud around rear Ujoint of RCR1248

    Mine has oval pieces where your picture shows circular. Guess one can get at the shear bolt and nut from those and then remove the shroud? How is it held in place? Might just wait until the bolt shears, but sometimes one has to assist the last piece out.

    How unsnap shroud around rear Ujoint of RCR1248

    Sounds like a cut or melt/burn the thing off.

    Setting up new Landpride RC a PITA

    Could not, because the top link on the RC is supposed to be directly above the lift arm pins to have the swing arm work correctly.

    L4060 - Recommendation for rear grass - brush cutter

    I recommend a Frontier RC over a Landpride: MUCH easier to set up the Frontier, and I like the chains rather than rubber shields.

    How unsnap shroud around rear Ujoint of RCR1248

    You can just make it out in this picture: the shroud around the rear Ujoint. Instructions for getting at the shear bolt are to unsnap the thing. Not evident just how to do that. There are a couple access holes in the sides that could be knocked out, but access to the shear bolt would be...

    Setting up new Landpride RC a PITA

    Exactly what I did, but the thing would not lower below about 3 inches up. Think it is because the top link came out longer than the bottom lift arms. This would cause the tail wheel to drive to ground. Had this happen on an LX4 when they didn't place the lift pins in the right position for...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Moved some stumps that the wife had dug out with shovel and sawzall and then used the new Landpride RCR1248 to mow a small patch where the forestry mulcher had not gone.

    Refueling Simplification

    I use a 2 1/2 gallon container and only lift it to the footwell. Then use a Northern Tool battery pump to pump it into the tank. So far, I've not had to replace the battery in well over a year. It has auto shutoff.

    Setting up new Landpride RC a PITA

    I hooked underneath where the swing piece is. 'tis where I could hook the Frontier. However, the RC refused to lower much more than about 3 inches up with the hook in that position. Not sure why. Yeah, there's an extra piece of swing with the U adaptor in there.

    Setting up new Landpride RC a PITA

    Figured to remove box blade and then mount and setup the new Landprice RC1248 this afternoon and then to go down and do some cutting. A real PITA. Almost sorry I did not buy another Frontier. Frontier's is MUCH easier to setup and works with QH hook left in place. Had to remove the top hook...

    Fuel filter stuck

    I just use channel locks adjusted large. Be sure you're only on the metal ring.

    Need Rotary Cutter Buying Advice for LX2610

    I'd recommend a Frontier RC2048 or RC2060. Just finished setting up the Land Pride RC1548, and it was a PITA. Story in a separate post. Wrong color, but who cares?

    Need Rotary Cutter Buying Advice for LX2610

    I recently got an RCR1548 for the B2601. I mow trails, and the 60 would stick out too much on the sides. If you're just doing a lot of flat fields the bigger one would get the job done quicker. I'll need to mow big areas where we had a forestry mulcher clear but only once/yr or once ever 2...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    With Miata gone, the RTV 520 is parked now next to the B2601. Took the battery tender from the Miata and put it on the tractor. Put key to tractor by the tender so I don't start and forget to unplug the tender.
