    Bought a new toy...

    Well new to me anyway, I've been wanting to get back to riding on the street for a while now and this bike showed up at a very reasonable price. Had to drive about 150 miles to get it but it was worth it. Although, it was 43 degrees when I started riding it home, great way to get my feet wet...

    B2301 First Impressions - Loader Removal & Install

    Take mine on and off all the time, it only gets easier. One hiccup I had was that when I left my FEL in the sun for a number of days the pressure built up in the lines and I had a hard time getting the lines to attach back to the tractor. I used a pin and a hammer on the inside of the lines to...

    HF quick hitch won't fit my stuff

    Ike, here is how I hook up my mower so that I don't have to wrestle with the pto shaft at the tractor" very tight work space'". See pic. Basically I hook the tractor side first then hang the shaft off of the quick hitch using baling wire or what not. Once I have it hooked up, then I attach the...

    HF quick hitch won't fit my stuff

    To be honest I haven't read thru all of the responses. If your equipment is category 1 and your tractor is the same buy the "Y" as shown in my pic. No you wont be able to just back up to them and go but it sure is easier than not having a quick hitch at all. I don't know the name brand of mine...

    Kickstands/jackstands

    Nice simple idea, I like it. I made one for my blade out of 2x4s I had laying around just a quick tempory fix. Pretty sure I have some square metal laying around that I could work up. A friend used my tiller one day and didn't like the fact that it didn't have a stand. So he said, I'll take...

    FEL supports

    Yes I'm talking about the stands that hold it up while It's off the tractor. I too looked at it as if it's more of a balancing act vs holding up all the weight of the FEL. I was just curious if anyone had a problem with them, I personably have not. In fact they're doing there job just fine at...

    FEL supports

    Anyone ever have issues with their FEL support stands failing? Mine seem to work just fine. Another Kubota owner I know would never take his FEL off due to concerns that the supports provided would not hold up. I explained that mine is off more than it is on and the supports do there job just...

    What About Your Tractor Makes You Swear?

    That's a good story. Hahaa Here's one for you, just got home to mow before it rains. The neighbor had just finished mowing and guess what, he mowed over the his own trash in his yard instead of picking it up first. Unbelievable.... Timing couldn't be better to go along with my story. This is...

    What About Your Tractor Makes You Swear?

    That would probably be the right thing to do if they had a couple small cans where the trash blew out all the time but we are supplied with a rather large trash can with a lid that stays connected. Usually their trash doesn't blow out but according to the trash of theirs I picked up their...

    What About Your Tractor Makes You Swear?

    Not something my tractor did but recently a younger couple moved into the house beside me, we are the only two out here. The wind picked up a few weeks ago, we live in the middle of a field basically, and a bunch of his trash blew into my yard and field. I picked up the trash in my driveway...

    Help!!Stuck PTO shaft

    On my finish mower my shaft is close to being too short (story of my life). I have noticed a couple times that the pin on the shaft will stick letting it slide past the groove on the pto shaft. So I can see a scenario where this is not noticed, the mower get used like this, then the shaft...

    Does how you speak tell where you're from...

    Pretty cool little quiz there. It has me in Springfield MO, Louisville KY and Lexington KY. Close I guess sense I've live in Southern Illinois my entire life. If I go to the eastern side of KY I can really tell a difference in the way I talk compared to them, probably closer to Springfield MO...

    Best finish mower for an L3901?

    6 footer works great for me, im sure the tractor will handle a bigger one though, as Bulldog said a wider one is going to scalp on the uneven parts of your yard. I too have a caronni that is pretty old. I bought it used to see if a finish mower was going to work for me or not, it does by the...

    Are you happy with the hydraulic lift capacity of your Kubota?

    Something seems off, I have lifted my 6ft tiller onto a trailer numerous times and the only issue I've had is that I didn't have enough weight on the backend of the tractor. I'm assuming the tiller weighs more than a two bottom plow.
