    Windows 10 update

    Of course, the problem that people are worried about regarding Windows 10 Updates is an incomplete update that prevents the computer from booting. In that case, you can’t remove an update. ;)

    Kubota Build Price vs Dealer List Price

    Check with other dealers assuming there is one that is mostly local, but it sounds like what the car dealers where I used to live did. For them, it was mostly a bargaining position, and they came off the price for me each time and went below MSRP even though they started thousands above MSRP...

    Seeking Advice for First Tractor (probably B2601)

    I think I have a completely different take. There are lots of ways to do the same things. I’m not saying what you should do, but I think I have some thoughts that may give you some more data points. I’m new to tractors, but I’ve had my property for 4 years. I’ve done a lot of mowing my 2...

    Windows 10 update

    I’m assuming your company controls what hardware is acceptable and what can be installed or the company supported computers. There are infinite possibilities in consumer Windows hardware/software. Compared to that ... yes, your systems are vanilla ... well, maybe French vanilla, but still...

    Windows 10 update

    It’s not odd that consumers have issues with the updates, and you don’t see them with the updates you do. I’m not sure what’s humorous though. Most enterprise computers are pretty generic/vanilla as far as what they have installed, and the hardware as well. Also, most enterprise computers are...

    Windows 10 update

    Updates went really downhill when they moved all Windows sustaining to India a few years ago, and decided they didn’t need to have testers any more. Really, no excuse for it other than to promote people in India. An update last year trashed my desktop computer. A different one trashed my...

    Enjoyed the L2501 HST with R4s on snow first time with bucket.

    Thanks for the comments. I’ve ordered chains for the front already. They are just basic ladder style chains. I have the Kubota spacers on the rear. I think I read that they are 1 3/8 although I haven’t measured them. I wasn’t sure what type of chains I could fit with those spacers on...

    Enjoyed the L2501 HST with R4s on snow first time with bucket.

    After reading that R4s were horrible in snow, I wasn’t sure what to expect on snow with my new L2501 HST with R4s and loaded tires with bucket only. I was a bit apprehensive and played for a bit up near my upper shed before making the plunge down my driveway. I was hoping I wouldn’t need my...

    Dirt Plowing with my b2650

    No idea, but it would depend on how deep you go. For that use, consider a ripper or middle buster which would also be much cheaper. They are adjustable depth with your 3 point, so you could always make more than one pass. Fwiw, the guy on youtube that has a L3901 and Christmas tree farm uses...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I picked up a grade 70 chain from Harbor Freight on sale. Interesting enough, it was only $2 less than Home Depot. I got a carrier to put on the ROPS and floor mats bought from Hawk67 mentioned in the Fabrication forum. ROPS Basket...

    Thinking about building a trailer

    It might be worth increasing the search distance to find what you are looking for. Assuming NJ is for New Jersey, my local guy in MT is probably too far. ;)

    Thinking about building a trailer

    I stopped by to talk to my local trailer builder to upgrade after buying a tractor. His material costs have doubled over a short amount of time. He’s hoping the prices won’t keep rising. Because of that, he’s building less models and larger equipment haulers with 5200 lb axles.. That’s fine...

    R1 or R4 Tires

    I believe R4s have different OEM rims on many models. I don’t know about yours. I see lots of people on youtube doing lots of “tractor” work with R4s. I don’t think they are inherently bad, but it just depends on your application. I chose R4s since the ground on my ranch is hard almost all...

    Rear blade mod question

    It seems like the commercial snow plows are super reinforced. I think it’s doable, but probably not a good idea to skimp on the reinforcement of the quick attach. I’ve thought about buying one of the 1/4 quick attach plates and then welding receivers for my UTV blade attachments that connect...

    FORD DEATH WOBBLE

    I had an older model (2006) for 8 1/2 years and never experienced it. But, if you think you might, add a dual front stabilizer kit for off roading. It will slow down the oscillation and was the fix years ago for other vehicles with straight front axles.
