    Call before you dig! Every time you dig!

    Its called Julie here in Illnios, at least in southern Illinois. Years ago I built a motocross track on my property. We didn't have any extra dirt or the money to buy the extra that was needed to make the jumps, so we dug it out in between the jumps. A few years later we had a really bad...

    50 Hr service...

    I can’t decide If you’re trolling or not. You started a thread about this very topic but didn’t seem to except the responses from the folks that decided to follow the current recommendation in the manual from Kubota. In your thread you stated that you once worked on a kubota that had been...

    50 Hour Service

    “Which is the correct recommendation for servicing the transmission.... I believe your secice manual says to change the filters only.... also not really understanding changing the filter without the fluid....Does anyone change the oil filter on their car & not the oil ???..... Again, Your...

    Asking for help, can't reconnect FEL

    As others have mentioned, I’ve used the wooden dowel and rubber mallet Method when this happens. I wouldn’t let this scare you away from removing the entire FEL. I find the tractor rides better without it attached, especially while mowing the lawn. In fact mines off the tractor unless I plan to...

    Projects Forum

    I like the idea of a project thread. I’ve been a Member here for a while now. I don’t post much but I do check in almost daily. Like others have said the “what have you done on your tractor today” thread is too long and I rarely go back to read through any of it. I love projects, I’ve done...

    Trailering the Tractor

    https://axleadvisor.com/towing-capacity/#Complete Pulled this from another forum. I’m pulling a 7x16 enclosed trailer daily, with an F-150. I don’t recall the trailer weight by itself off the top of my head but I do recall after taking it by the scale, I’m at 10,400lbs trucks and trailer...

    Smaller 3 point spreader for sand, maybe salt? Other recommendation?

    I have a small electric spreader that I intstalled an on/off switch and a mount for my quick hitch. I’ve spread all kinds of stuff with it. Including salt on my drive way. I did use a plastic gaurd to keep the salt from being thrown on my tractor. I’ll dig through my pic to see if I have any...

    Operating Compact Tractors on Public Roads

    I agree with Troverman, we’re making this more complicated than it needs to be and I’m sure the laws very by state, not to mention by country. Like he said, use your head and follow the rules of the road. There’s tractors on the road around here all the time, big and small. Also, I’m not sure...

    Operating Compact Tractors on Public Roads

    I believe this too be true and its what I do. I've also seen many large farm tractors doing the same in my area. I turn on my hazards and make sure the triangle is in place, sometimes I take it off while using certain implements, when I drive on the road to get fuel. Next time I run into him...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Where you located in SI? I'm close to Carbondale. Also, my ex father in law reamed my butt for felling tree's that way. He retired from the forest service and witnessed a couple guys get killed by the tree's coming back on them. Cut a notch on the side you want it to fall, then cut through the...

    Parking brake does not hold tractor

    Creep is probably a better discription of what’s happening with mine. I’ll get to the brake adjustment soon. I have a maintenance list working for the fall.

    Parking brake does not hold tractor

    While mowing on Sunday I needed to get off to pick up a couple things in the yard. I set the parking brake on a slight decline and my tractor was inching forward. I turned where it wouldn’t roll but that’s the first time it’s happened. Not in 4wd and it’s a hydrostatic transmission. So is it...

    Tree rats

    I had a squirrel get into my barn recently, he chewed on my kubotas fuel cap. I’ll get s pic next time I’m over there. I was fishing in a lake in a very rural area years ago. I heard something barreling through the woods. All Of a sudden a very large buck jumped into the water and started...

    First 50 hour service overkill?

    I think that’s what I did when I reused my hydro fluid. From what I recall not much of anything was filtered out. There was a little bit of metal on the magnetic filter but nothing I was concerned about. Personally, I feel replacing the hydro oil at 50 hours is excessive, especially since my...

    Filthy tractors versus clean ones

    I try to keep mine pretty clean but it’s doesn’t upset me if she gets dirty. Personally, I think a tractor is supposed to be a little dirty, not filthy by any means. I do find it odd that the OP starts a thread about how clean his tractor is. Then poo-poos the idea of waxing. Lol. Someone in...

    Estimated time to cut

    I believe that was sarcasm, he would charge $60 per hour. Also, I think bulldog hit the nail on the head as far as the original question. I like helping others so I do things for people all the time. Fuel is usually all that I require. A few years ago I was clearing snow at my ex in laws...

    Weather

    I’m not sure where we are on the amount of rain we’ve had this year verses years past but the farms here are really struggling to get crops in the ground. I brought the L3800 over to the house, it’s usaully stored in my barn 15 miles away, to finish some dirt work after having a pool...
