    Pullin stuff

    AND drape something across the line/chain in case of a break to dampen the inertia - keep anybody away as well.

    Four years in and looking at a tractor!

    Welcome! Kubota does a particularly good job in the mid-compact lines which is why a lot of us have chosen them. Good quality & support, but not necessarily the cheapest... Read up, take a consensus of the feedback, then go look and drive them at a dealer. You have some tractor experience and...

    What's your dirt doin' in my hole boy!!!

    Love it! - started my three on my little Ford. My youngest girl named and drove "Clementine" on a test run when new but they are older now (i.e. not as interested after having a license) BTW - your picture reminds me that I need to fab up a CS scabbard - balancing my big saw with 24" blade on...

    First time kubota buyer

    Welcome - great helpful group here. I'm biased of course, but found the 2501 to be "just right" Kick myself all the time: For not buying it sooner!! :p

    Loaded package deal price check for L2501...

    Absolutely incredible deal - seems too good to be true given the resale on each component? But, they are out there. It's way off market given the pic and hours Would be prepared with $ & trailer, but I would put eyes on it and confirm ownership etc. (you already know about liens)

    Installing a new lawn

    My experience says to rake as much of the sizable ones out of it before they spread it & plant. Raking wet is miserable and you need to find that "just right" where they pop out but don't clump. However, I am in the middle of this battle doing extended reshaping & grading turning a slope into...

    L3901 with backhoe. Rear remotes and 3rd function

    This group is awesome! - following this thread. I explored initially and then put off the T&T or maybe just the T... This was after discovering the blessings of a BB the hard way (read doing without). Still in the DIY manual adjust but it gets old fast. FWIW- Have the BH77 and the 3rd fxn for...

    Unable to engage 4 wheel drive

    Something to try: Not sure about your specific model, but on my older tractor and other traditional 4WD, it can sometimes help things to move the drivetrain slightly - rock or use engine to move a bit? Then engage & welcome!

    Attaching a backhoe issues

    So first of all, welcome and you came to the right place. You definitely want to read the manuals and IMO do a Google search and check out a few videos of on/off process. YES to removing the 3PH bars A few things to consider: So mine is smaller BH77and I spent way more time the first time...

    Wheel wobble

    FWIW - Was the wheel bearings combined with a weak hub design on my smaller old Ford. Know it's apples and oranges vs your M4700...

    Temporary bucket mod for snow?

    Thanks both! :cool: Exactly along with what I was thinking. I knew someone had to have gone there first and didn't want to reinvent the wheel. I was going to sacrifice my old poly edge but this is better, faster, cheaper.

    Temporary bucket mod for snow?

    Thanks all - I know a blade could be useful to have. Wanted to know if I was thinking more along the lines of McGiver vs Bubba mods on this. Only looking for a patch rather than LT and am prob overthinking it. FWIW The 7' Jeep plow punches way above its weight and I have had it for 20 years...

    Temporary bucket mod for snow?

    I had an unfortunate accident over the holidays & my Jeep TJ that I plow with and it is going into the body shop sometime over the next 4-8 weeks. Of course, it is prime snow time here in PA. I was thinking about using the tractor bucket as backup only (know it is not ideal and don't have a...

    Woodland Mills WG24 Stump Grinder

    Another company sold decent budget replacement teeth that people here recommended. I thought I saved it but can't find now, but there is a thread in the last year that covers it. I haven't needed it yet but no doubt I will with all of the rock that "grows" on my property :p

    Need advise on L series package

    Welcome & You will LOVE either choice - 100% game changer on getting real work done. FYI - I came down on the non-emissions side and most of my work is via the hydraulic pump (it's the same on 25/39). This means I do more with hydraulics than rear pto & ground-pulling power (I LOVE my BH as...

    Advice and experience with zero turn mowers

    Like everything, it's bang for the buck and how long you keep your stuff - Mine is a smaller big box that I got on early sale Ultima ZT1-50. It overachieves and I estimate I cut 3-6 ac depending on the week. You are right that if half ac is the spec anything budget will do the trick for...

    Advice and experience with zero turn mowers

    I went to a ZT 50" from a 60" mmm for everyday cutting. It gets the job done fast - I ended up in the CCadet with the smaller size just to get the Kawasaki engine vs Kohler (never gain for me). Husq look well built and rated (use their Ch Saws) The slope and hills require adjustments to your...

    Picture your vehicles with the stickers.

    I agree - peeled all the ones I thought were useless. Moved a few. It was excessive for sure. DEFINITELY no dealership stuff on my cars. Left one on the tractor between the mounts...
