    Broken casting on BH 77 excavator

    That sucks. But you're not the first. I've seen this before. Did you start to swing with the lock in place??? Or possibly hit something with the hoe when turning? I believe that may be what you hear from your dealer...I hope not.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Drove a friend to get a steroid injection. I figured I'd stop in at the local kubota dealership to kill some time...walked out with service filters for the B2650...wallet $100+ lighter. :( Inquired about a debris rake and ripper for the U-27. Can't wait to see what those will run.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    did a brush and stump clearing job with the mini-ex on saturday for a client nearby. Pulled out 4 dump truck loads of junk. While dumping the second load at my burn pile, my fuel gage on the Ram went to "E". While investigating the cause (dump body in raised position), I lightly grabbed the fuel...

    Thoughts on this system for strapping tractor on trailer

    here's all I do..if I happen to have a boxblade on instead, I just go right over the top of the boxblade to anchor that down as well. Gotta remember, most of our tractors are way under the 10K limit which carries some more DOT requirements...

    Thoughts on this system for strapping tractor on trailer

    NIW summed it up nicely. You could simply add a clevis to the drawbar and run a chain thru it and anchor it behind that point on both sides of the trailer. I'd also suggest that you use 5/16" grade 70 chain instead of that 3/8". That chain that you show in the image is just too heavy to work...

    I think I've made my retirement decision....

    Congrats RCW. Enjoy it. I'm not far behind you...struggle with that decision every day...should I...Or shouldn't I? In my case (been working from a home office for 24 years) it's just too easy to keep doing what I'm doing with a healthy salary and my side gig as well. I've been wishing for...

    That's why I keep recommending the Speeco E-hitch. No bushings needed! 🤷‍♂️

    Used Del Morino 1.5 Rear Finish Mower 1,200?

    What say you about a used 60" Del Morino finish mower? Looks to be in good shape available locally for $1,200. I see new Titan mowers available for approx $1,600 in a 60". Which would you choose?

    3 point quick hitch

    OP- take a look at the Speeco E-hitch. True Cat 1. Very little movement in the bottom cradles. The E-hitch can be had for somewhere around $225. Mine has worked great. Bottom hook top hook

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Honestly, not really. We found an old/broken drain line right next to it (broken right where the hole in the cast iron pipe was found). Maybe the old drain line (looked to be like that thin black ABS stuff) caused the cast to sink a tad and belly? I was expecting to find root intrusion since...
