    hydraulic hose repair

    Yeah, I could have ordered the hose on eBay, Amazon, etc for about the same 23-28 bucks but I needed the machine that afternoon and wasn't going to undo all the hose routing to take the remotes out of the loop to save $30. I really don't like the local shop, even for our work hoses, they get...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Looks like some of the logs I was moving around last weekend!

    hydraulic hose repair

    I just went through a similar situation when adding my rear remotes. That day, I needed a 15" 3/8" hose with -6 JIC ends. I went to the local TIPCO, which we use at work for tractor hoses, knowing they are high, but I was in a pinch. $65 later, the sales rep was like, "I gave you a discount...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    A summit 3rd function kit for your tractor is reasonably priced and pretty straightforward to install. You could even "piece it together" on your own to save even more. Then pick up a hydraulic cylinder and you're good to go.

    Perform DPM on my terms.

    Nothing wrong with a Tier 4 tractor, and if you understand them, and will use it at the required RPM, they are fantastic, not some special voodoo that will ruin your day. I would love a larger L or small MX, but that wasn't in the cards, the B2650 has been adequate, but I know there's better...

    Perform DPM on my terms.

    This is the problem with all diesels that require DPF, tractor, dump truck, excavator, etc. If you work the equipment, don't excessively idle or lug the engine, and don't interrupt when the ECU wants to perform one, they will typically be trouble-free. Our backhoes and excavators at work that...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I used and abused the ole B over the weekend. I saw an ad for free red and white oak on Marketplace and jumped on it after finally convincing the wife to at least supplement, if not fully heat, with wood and picked up an insert last weekend. A storm came through back in September and tore up...

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    Something similar came with my Catawaba land plane, except it's cat 2 to cat 1. I'm enjoying following along with the story and picking up things on the diverter information.

    Summit offers a 5% discount for members, use code OTT, every little bit helps.

    Snowblower season BX2750B

    Those scotch lock wire connections are horrendous and will 100% cause you problems down the road. Spend a few min and get some heat shrink butt connectors and use them for your splice if you can't solder the connection. Looks like you just need the feed for the fuse to come from switched...

    Mulching Kit or Chute Blocker?

    It will mulch the grass up great. Thinking of getting a second set so I can have them sharpened and ready to go. Feel like I can tell a difference in cut and clipping disbursement when I take the gator blades off even without the chute blocker on.

    Mulching Kit or Chute Blocker?

    I would do that. On my older Scag Turf Tiger I built my own chute blocker and run gator blades in the fall. Does an outstanding job of mulching my leaves in the fall. I reached out about a similar cable operated set up for my older deck and decided the homemade bolt on option for the fall was...

    Is Everything Attachments open again?

    I will also say Catawaba are some top-notch products. I picked up a land leveler from my local equipment guy back in the spring and this thing is a tank. The price was great (lower than listed online,) and it is a heavy-duty, well-built piece of equipment. I will certainly be looking to them...

    Moving yards and yards of material, a hay wagon?

    Could you rent a dump truck or trailer for a few days? You'll most likely need to add some sort of solid side to the hay wagon. Then back dragging to unload, will you build up a ramp with the material so you can reach across from one side, or have rows and rows of windrowed piles from pulling...

    What's the right implement for the L2501 for driveway resurfacing/grading?

    I think they both do pretty well in those instances where there's not necessarily a clear winner, at least for the casual compact tractor operator. Someone who uses it everyday...totally different story, a skilled operator is a sight to see! I'm all in for the more the merrier when it comes...

    What's the right implement for the L2501 for driveway resurfacing/grading?

    I have both a box blade and a lande plane, the key it sounds like for you is you need scarifiers to break up the bad spots in the driveway and then a way to maintain it. A box blade can have more of a learning curve and be a little less forgiving than a blade or land plane but they can have...

    New grease gun recommendations please.

    Milwaukee M 18 here, have quite a few across the organization at work for our backhoes, skid steers, excavators and vehicles. I bought my own for the house and works flawlessly for the tractor, zero turn, and vehicles, plenty of settings to keep the grease in check. For manual, the regular old...

    Which types of grease?

    At work we use Certified Lab's Premalube NLGI #2. It has been a great grease in our fleet for the backhoes and excavators in a water utility. We have 3 maintenance shops and one of them would use whatever the parts store had in stock. They did a lot more wear based repairs until I had them...

    L3240 with LA514 FEL

    https://www.messicks.com/parts/kubota/7j290-36100 This compatibility guide on Messicks shows the factory quick hitch fitting all those loaders you listed, I don't see why an aftermarket offering wouldn't work.

    L3240 with LA514 FEL

    Have you tried reaching out to Worksaver, they are the ones who make the one listed on Skid steer depot's site, the item # is 835160. I do like that one better, it looks a little more robust and a lot like the Kubota version. Beyond that you'll be looking for someone to verify loader...
