    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Today was one of those rare days that I got a lot done. I finished tilling up my potato garden spot, then added some sea fertilizer and tilled that it. I then opened up some furrows and planted some seed potato's.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I have been busy the last four days or so. Well in between the rain. I tilled up a garden for some ladies and then they wanted some rocks moved. They were impressed with what my L2900 could do and gave me a nice tip. At home I tilled up most of my garden and started to fill in a wet spot in the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I have been cutting clam stakes for the last few days. they are 20 foot straight trees about 4 inches across at the stump. The clammers and the oyster diggers use them to mark their flats. A friend comes up from N.J. and picks them up and takes them back for me. I use the tractor to haul them...

    Rake

    The snow is gone but there is still some ice on the lakes. The ground is really wet, so I can't get ready for planting. But I can get some work done on the new property. Skip

    Well I bought the rake, and it works pretty well. There are some stumps that get the way and I need to find a way to clear them. But over all it works. Hear are some pictures of the land, there is a lot more work to be done but it is getting there. On one picture you can see where I got...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Today I went to TS and bought a 6 foot rake. I started to clean up my property. It had been logged before I got it so there is a lot of slash around. I didn't get any pictures of the clean up but there is a lot more to go. Here are some of the new rake.

    La 480 fel

    It is fixed! When I assembled the valve the o-ring between the halves slipped. When reassembled with a new o-ring the bucket worked. Lesson learned, don't be in a hurry and check your work. Thanks for all your help, the new spool valve was the right answer. Not sure why the rebuild didn't work...

    La 480 fel

    The bucket does start to curl, it will jump just a little. I believe the pump is trying, it sounds like when you turn your steering wheel all the way to one side and hold it. Skip

    La 480 fel

    I have two hydraulic cylinders that attach to my bucket, are they both used to control the bucket or is one for tilting the bucket up and one for dumping? Also is the hydraulic pressure greater for the boom than it is for the bucket? Skip

    La 480 fel

    I got my new spool valve and installed it. I got the same result. The boom will go up and down and the bucket started to tilt up about six inches and then stopped. It did go back down but would not tilt up at all after that. I swapped the lines again with the same result. The bucket would tilt...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Justacafe, yes I have done the same thing with a hammer and a chisel on stuck bolts/nuts. I have also used the "drive the screwdriver through" the filter method. I don't like using it because I have had the end of the filter rip off. Also you can introduce foreign material into the oil system...
