    Good Works Tractor Co. and their latest Quick Hitch

    Fwiw, I've repaired breaks on my Land Pride - land plane and my Ranger's snow plow with my MIG. It worked fine. But, maybe because I'm not a monkey. :D But seriously, almost any welding process will work for steel, right?

    Fireplace insert

    I'd check with the insert company to make sure you buy the right size/type. There are round ones and oval ones. Also unless it's just straight up, do make sure you can make the turns you need. I agree it's a good idea to do the liner if you are adding an insert. It also makes cleaning easier.

    How big a generator do I need to run a Lincoln 220 stick welder.

    Unless you need a generator for other things, I'd consider buying a 110 welder.

    SUDT replacement ?

    It's providing lubricant for the most important parts of your tractor. I don't understand doing it to save money,. I don't use my tractor enough that I'd save over a few dollars a year while I risk thousands.

    Dealer pricing strategies.

    One more thought, maybe they are including options that you aren't in build my Kubota.

    Dealer pricing strategies.

    When I bought mine, my quote was a bit less than build my Kubota. You could ask them when it's so high compared to "build my Kubota". It could be something different about California.

    Cold weather OPEN station snow plowing/blowing.

    Around 0 to -10 F, but I'd never plow with the tractor in strong wind. I find I get a lot of heat off the engine when there isn't a strong wind. I have a cab on my Polaris Ranger that has a plow on it, and that's used in the worse weather. I use the tractor mostly to make the road wider or to...

    R14 Tires - LX2610 - Snow Chain Recommendations

    I have loaded rears on my L2501hst R4s with ladder chains from tirechain.com. They work fine. I use more aggressive diamond chains on my Polaris Ranger. They are smaller and cheaper. My L2501 was a bit dangerous with no chains. Dangerous as in sliding sideways On a slight road angle.

    I'm glad it works for you. My non DPF tractor never regens, and that works for me.

    Where do you think they are getting their information? They aren't independently thinking.

    That's pretty unlikely considering how unreliable ChatGPT is.

    Need confirmation that chatgpt is not wrong

    For grins and giggles, here's the Grok response. For a Kubota B2601 undergoing its 400-hour maintenance, the focus is typically on changing the hydraulic oil and related filters for the tractor's system. Here's what you should know: Hydraulic Oil Change: The 400-hour service generally...

    Perform DPM on my terms.

    There are almost zero diesels that allow consumers to force a regen on vehicles or tractors. I'd say zero, but maybe there are one or two. Frankly, I think that's the biggest issue with the diesel emission systems. Well, and that the software that decides when to regen is generally pretty...

    Why cant I seen to find just a complete set of 1/2 inch sockets

    It’s because nobody needs a whole set. You just buy the one you are missing.

    Guilty and Convicted of Kubota Abuse

    I haven't owned a Chevy in decades. ;). For diesels, I use only Ford filters. They are very dependent on good air/oil/fuel. There are posts of lesser quality filters coming apart. which basically destroys the engine. The other brand filters aren't that much cheaper, so I don't think it's...

    Yes for the Filters and if you aren’t using Kubota hydraulic fluid, yes for the hydraulic fluid.
