The nearest dealer to me is either 350 or 500 km away. They’ve both been very helpful and ship everything to me. 2-3 days and via purolator, no shipping charges. as for a shear bolt, any ole hardware store bolt will work. One with 3 little lines on the head (grade 5?). Get the right...

I have a notepad and a pen. I try to write in the book start/stop tractor hours when using an implement (more for billing a customer) but it requires a pen or pencil that works. That Murphy has always borrowed. And a mind sound enough to remember to write down both times, then the math, then...

What’s awesome about an off the shelf cheaper hose is thinking that 2” extra in length won’t matter and the $16 you saved will be worth it...... till the third hour and it still won’t fit no matter how you bend or contort it, the fittings still won’t line up to thread on!

The dealer I got some antifreeze from didn’t have Kubota branded antifreeze..... they had a Prestone product called ‘Celsius’. Plain ole green stuff they said. I just flushed and put this in my M7060...

I bought a 7060 used a few years ago with just under 300 hours. Now at 600. it regens as the manual says. The light comes on, if you can’t remember what to do, there’s instructions on the sun visor (if it’s a cab!). You simply raise the RPM till the light stops flashing and it will start it’s...

I poured concrete countertops for my outdoor pizza oven. We like them for that purpose. They are only 1 or 1 1/2” thick tho, and weighed a ton!! Mixed by hand was enough work! My friend has a concrete plant so I got some fancy chemicals from him (air and plasticizer?) which maybe you’d look...

I have a single arm grapple on my forks. for picking up logs I added a 3rd fork tine. It’s spaced slightly off center so I can still pick up pallets with either 2. Helps to keep logs from falling in between the tines as I’m grabbing from a pile. It will move brush ok, likely not as slick as a...

My R1’s are Radials, can’t compare to anything else for ya but they ride ok at speed on the road. They are ok in snow, suck on packed snow/ice as expected. I wish I could afford a set of Nokian Hakkapelitta TRI’s, but I’d think any of the ones you mention would be comparable and a better...

oops double post

I have a WC-88, and although a slightly different chipper, dealing with woodland mills was great. The chipper has been awesome. The lack of filter I can’t see being much of an issue, there’s likely a screen on the intake pipe? I can’t see these guys scrimping the $100 for a filter set up if it...

I agree capt, pallet forks are handy for lots other than pallets! I move 8’ logs with mine, and have a single arm grapple on my pallet fork frame to hold the wayward logs. As I grab logs from a big pile, I added a 3rd fork tine to make that task easier, as the 2 tines never seem to go under...

I’m really curious to know how water ended up in the hydraulic system. A little from condensation but that shouldn’t amount to much more than tablespoon amount even with wild temperature swings like you guys get out east. maybe cut the filter open and see if there’s evidence of water in it...

Maybe the bolt was a crappy weak one. Maybe a hard engagement of the PTO caused it to break. Right or wrong I’m not sure but I always try to ‘feather’ in the engagement at low rpm. (Hard to do with an electronic dial but a few on-off’s get it started just a bit) then the impeller area can...

I’d think 2000 hours on a machine like that is pretty low hour! No reason with proper maintenance to easily get 6-8000 hours before any major work could be expected. Keep up on the little things and the big issues hopefully won’t be a surprise! And, at 9 years old, the previous owner only...

I have a ‘soft ride’ on my loader. (Quicke loader). However they all work about the same. like you say it’s just an accumulator plumbed into the lift cylinder. With a ball valve to isolate. sounds like the hose from the bottle to the valve, or a fitting is leaking? Normally the bottles are...

I’ve used the 3pt trailer movers like shown above, wirh my double axle (7k) dump trailer. As an experiment, I didn’t chain the 3pt down and dumped a load, on slightly I level ground. The 3pt came up and gave everything quite a shake and could have been bad. I chained it down to the drawbar...

There was a video on YouTube of a guy who had a m of some size with fluid leaking like you describe.... I can’t find it at the moment.... I occasionally have oil blow out the vent on my m7060, not sure why, I take it as free (well, expensive) undercoating. Usually happens using an implement or...

I had a similar leak last winter in the cold. The Kubota rad hoses/clamps seem to ‘move’ in the cold, as mentioned above, sort of a normal thing. It’s easier to add a bit of antifreeze. All last winter I lost maybe a 1/4 cup. Looked like a lot some days. I marked the expansion tank and...

I got tired of BBQ’s rusting out, crappy pizzas, and not knowing what to do. So, we built this. It’ll cook anything. Pull the coals out to use like a grill. Heat it up and bake. 900° pizzas cooked in 90 seconds. Make a small fire inside and roast a hotdog or marshmallow. Put the door on...
