    What a day!

    Sun is shining. I'm sitting on my new tractor mowing my fields. The scent of chopped up baby cedars is in the air. I'm listening to my favorite radio station on my 3M WorkTunes hearing protectors. I'm wearing overalls and a T-shirt. It's November 1st in Iowa and I have no need for a jacket...

    How many customers does the treadle pedal cost Kubota?

    I never thought twice about the pedal. I didn't hesitate buying my BX2380 years ago ... nor my recently purchased L3902.

    Hooking up the drive line. Contortionist!

    I mowed for about 1 1/2 hours tonight. That thing mows like a dream! Can hardly wait to get started again tomorrow. :D

    Hooking up the drive line. Contortionist!

    Once I got the bungee cord on it was just a matter of aligning the splines. I cheated and lubricated the neck out of things a couple nights earlier. Yep, figuring out where to stand was key. I'm sure things will get faster for a while.

    Hooking up the drive line. Contortionist!

    Good idea! I posted pictures of the tractor last week but I do need to post some before and after pictures of my field behind the house. Going to rain in a little while so maybe this weekend. Won't be anything interesting but will mean something to me.

    Hooking up the drive line. Contortionist!

    Hooked up my 6' cutter to the new tractor for the first time yesterday. I have a QH16 on the L3902. The QH16 got in the way. Used a bungee cord to suspend the end of the drive line while I lined things up. Could have used a helper but had to figure out how to do it myself. Felt like a...

    Pulling up young cedars.

    My 2" coupler just arrived. I'm ready!

    Matching Kubota orange paint.

    One old guy about my age gave me some advice. "Never pass up a bathroom and never trust a fart." There was a third part to that but I don't want to get into trouble on the forums.

    Pulling up young cedars.

    Thanks all! I kept thinking the chain might just pull the tree over and slip off but it sounds like it will work. I've never seen a ring to slip over the chain like that before. Great idea!

    Pulling up young cedars.

    How would you hook a chain or rope to the base of a very young cedar so you can pop it out of the ground with a tractor?

    Would you buy the same tractor again or a different one?

    If something happened to my BX2380 I'd replace it in a heartbeat with a current equivalent. I just added an L3902HST about 11 days ago and don't have much seat time yet. I think I'd replace it with another L02 at this point. It should do all of the bigger stuff I need to do just fine.

    Coon Problem

    I use Duke dog proof traps full of cheap, dry cat food. I sprinkle a couple of drops of coon attractant on the tops of some tall grass or brush nearby. Don't know if that really helps. I place a trap or two at my end of the concrete culvert that runs under the road to my neighbor's property...

    Thanks for helping me choose my new tractor.

    I should have said I got an L3902HST.

    Trailer hitch ball stem won't go into drawbar hole.

    Thank you for educating me about this! I had no idea.

    Quick Hitch? 👍 or 👎

    Sorry. The reason I asked is because my QH05 has been a bit of a pain but my QH16 works like a dream. Not certain why the difference.

    Trailer hitch ball stem won't go into drawbar hole.

    Thanks everyone! I'll just move my cross drawbar with the 2" ball from the quick hitch on my BX to the quick hitch on my L3902.

    Trailer hitch ball stem won't go into drawbar hole.

    So you're saying my Kubota tractor is intentionally designed to NOT pull a trailer loaded with hay out of the hay field?!?!?!

    Trailer hitch ball stem won't go into drawbar hole.

    On an L3902 shouldn't the large drawbar hole handle the threaded stem of the larger sized trailer hitch ball? I thought it should drop right in. This one is just a bit too tight. I even tried tapping the ball a bit with a hammer thinking built up paint was preventing it from going in. No...

    Thanks for helping me choose my new tractor.

    About 3 weeks ago I began asking questions about 3 models of Kubota tractors my salesman recommended. I knew nothing about any models other than the BX's so what better place for asking questions about Kubota tractors than a Kubota tractor forum, right? IMO I received LOTS of excellent advice...
