Yeah, that is kind of the nature of the job to some degree...at least you're able to minimize it. It sounds like you're doing quite well despite being new at it, plus having fun, both are great attributes. Regarding the power broom, obviously some rocks will embed and kill the grass over...

For what it's worth I alluded to that back in October...though using actual carrots would have been cheaper... --- Here's the thing "Joe," the risk of cancer or some other form of premature death from how you're going about this is not worth it. If you're going to rebuild a machine, at minimum...

Are your pads adjustable? I have a StIHL power gravel mover for getting stones back into the driveway without damaging the lawn, but it's best to not put gravel into the lawn...

Why is there not an option for robots and A.I. to self-identify? Are we condemning the technology we've designed to help us? If so aren't we condemning ourselves? -- This message brought to you by Mom's Friendly Robot Company.

$80 for clothing that is purposely ugly: First World Problems.

Made a little progress with the limited free time this weekend. Took the switch apart, tested everything, made a label, assembled. A friend said since it's a custom switch it should say, "A$$ BYPASS" though I'm not sure that's a good idea.

I've found if I pop Pioneer couplers on/off very quickly they don't leak, it's dinking around that keeps them open longer and that makes them drippy. I suppose the o-rings will fail from age at some point, but so far so good.

I always thought if a person buys snow removal equipment they get that season off due to a lack of snow? :unsure:

DO NOT "test drive" anything--you'll suddenly convince yourself "you need this piece of equipment" and spend a lot of time thinking about how to make it happen. In fact don't even sit in the seat... 🤣

@nerwin : Those L-series are quite sharp looking, I don't blame you at all. It appears to be "the perfect size tractor" for many people. Glad you're loving it. (y)

For what it's worth I said it back in October...

After listening to the members here I use: Star Tron Super Concentrated Diesel Formula (biocide) Hot Shot's Secret (clean/lube system) Lucas Oil 10865 Anti-Gel Cold Weather (in could weather)

I use non-stick cooking spray, it works and is safe for the environment. This will be my first winter with the Kubota so I'm not sure how well cooking spray works on that powerful a machine, it works well on smaller machines and snow shovels.

However both seem to have the necessary "low compression during starting," it's just that the old International had a lever, the newer Kubota does not. :ROFLMAO:

Deflate the tires, put the chains on, put the spring tensioners on, air up the tires. ...reading along I see @GreensvilleJay beat me to it, good job! You would do well to take @North Idaho Wolfman's advice on not adding spacers to the front wheels. The front wheels are the balancing point...

That's the way old, cold diesel engines were started, no problem there. (here's all the details)

Yes, that is a junkyard and those tractors are being very methodically turned into junk, one part at a time. Now go wash your hands with diesel before dinner. ;) 🍿

The way to fix that type of leaking is to put a coffee can under each leak with a fishtank pump back to the hydraulic fill tube.

Exactly. I'm new at this so still figuring out out. ... not the weather part! :ROFLMAO: Where everything fits, getting the chains on so they don't rub, etc. Got a miss-manufactured chain from TireChain.com, they made it right right away so no complaint there, just stuck running lawn tires...

I agree on the pencil gauges being handy, and potentially unreliable. Due to Wisconsin being hot in summer and well below freezing in winter I learned mechanical gauges are far more reliable than anything that runs on batteries. Older Milton products have been reliable for me, reviews of new...
