    Cover crop

    Thanks for the reply, skeets. A few years back I grew winter wheat, pre kubota days, and plowed it in as green manure. I planted sunflowers on top of it and it was the best sunflower crop I've ever grown. Kinda the reason I want to plant something this winter to see how it turns out. I'm...

    Cover crop

    Anyone else in here plant a cover crop over the winter? I have very pour soil (clay) and I'm looking to improve it anyway I can. I'm going to do a half acre plot this year and see how it goes. I suppose I should do test on the soil to see exactly what i need but I'm thinking about a hairy...

    changing hydralic fluid

    Lsmurphy has you covered you covered. Nice work! They only thing I might add is the hydro fluid is filled behind the seat on my l3800. Mine is orange and you should be able to unscrew it with your hand, you'll need a funnel too. Make sure you put the proper fluid back into it and change the...

    Right of way, easement

    Thanks for the reply, where would I find the abstract? Does the power company have to supply me with this? This property has been in our family since the 50's and I'm sure that my Grandfather allowed the right of way to get power to his home, which is where my uncle lives now. Is there a...

    Suggest a Kubota, BX, B or L?

    I don't have any experience with the B or the BX but I do with the L. I used to mow my 2.5 acre yard with a small riding mower, 42" cut and it always left rows. Now I use a side discharge 6' finish mower on my L3800. It leave no rows and mows beautifully. Once I learned to take the FEL off...

    Right of way, easement

    Called my uncle this morning to see what his thoughts were, he was going to give them a week before he complained. He just called me back to let me know the crew showed back up with a large chipper machine to finish the clean up. Alls well that ends well... I'll post pics of the end result...

    Right of way, easement

    So they butcher a 40 ' oak to the point that it will die and potentially fall into the line? Looks like amateur work to me.

    Funny, speaking of cottonwoods, here 2 that a certainly dead and twice the size of the rest of the trees and they didn't touch it.

    Right of way, easement

    I'm not going to do anything rash, I'm going to speak with me uncle first, he actually uses their service both personably and as a business owner. Yes, they farm out the trimming, I've seen a number of different companies doing the work in the area. I'll keep you posted...

    Right of way, easement

    Most of this is on my uncles side of the property. Before you could drive a tractor or jeep thru there no problem. It was a clear path that has been there for years. I'll post another with my mess.

    Right of way, easement

    That's what I plan to do if its not cleaned up today when I get home. I deal with people for a living so I'm not going to be that guy unless it comes to that. I tried to post pics this morning but it was not working out and I ran out of time, ill try from my phone later. Thanks for the...

    Right of way, easement

    I'll post a pic once I get to work. If they would have used a wood chipper I would have zero problem with it. Also, why not cut the oak tree down instead leaving a 40' tree that's going to die and potentially fall into the line.

    Right of way, easement

    Anyone in here have first hand knowledge of what the right of way/easement laws are? Long story short, I have a small power line running thru my property. I believe it also supplies cable tv, as well. I personally do not receive any services from either company. My complaint, they trimmed...

    L3800 HST 50 hour service

    Your manual will have all the information on the fluids needed. The parts guy at the dealer I deal with was unsure as well, which is frustrating. I went with what the manual recommended. Which was kubota 10w-30 and a oil filter for the engine and 2 filters for the trans. I did the filter...

    L3800 - Canopy or not?

    If I didn't need to work in the woods an didn't have to fold mine down I would have one. As far as skin cancer, Ive made it a habit to lather up with sunscreen when I know I'm going to be out in it. A friend if mine passed away, within the last year, from what started out as skin cancer, it...

    L3800 - Canopy or not?

    At times, I've thought, man a canopy would be really nice right now. Then others when I'm in the woods and think it wouldn't work. Also, I have to fold the ROP's down to get it in the garage, which is where it sit most of the time. There have been a number of good responses. Let us know what...

    Is there any reason NOT to get R1's?

    I run the R4s but I mow my yard with my tractor. Otherwise, I would have the R1s. The L3800 is a great tractor in my opinion, you'll love it if that's what you decide to go with. Welcome to the forum, there is lots of useful information on here.
