    Best Method for Spreading Sand in Horse Riding Rings?

    I would think a box blade would help level the piles fast and lay out the material nicely, and then the float would help "grade" it nicely. Lots of times if you use a york rake or similar and there is a good base of sand, you can rip up the weeds and grass, put it off to the side, and then...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Lol, no I have 4 girls...1yr to 13yrs....the eldest has grown out of most of the stuff, but the 1 yr old is growing into it. The old playscape came with the house, the new one is from my wife's house. Apparently (according to my wife) my daughter needs a toy for every age and phase....since...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Replaced the front headlight assembly that was broken when I got the machine, and re-sprayed the entire nose assembly. Looks much better! Also removed a stump with my Takeuchi TB125 and backfilled the area with material with my L3710. Box bladed the driveway back to its ~30mph status. In the...

    Cracked cylinder head L3830

    X2 with Wolfman. If the compression is fine on all cylinders, no coolant going into the cylinders, and no other defects/issues are there, welding/brazing or epoxying the coolant jacket (where the crack you show is located) should be fine. It only needs to hold ~20psi or so.... If you want a...

    Turf can't handle weight?

    Good point BAP, I'll need to check out higher ply and see if the ratings are similar.

    Our tractors are tuff but not indistructable

    RNBRN, how old is your BX? I know I serviced several BX's a while back that had failing engine mounts. Some the rubber separated and some the metal actually fatigued and broke. Part of the issue is that the 3cyl diesels in those Bx's shake quite badly at certain harmonic frequencies/rpms...

    Turf can't handle weight?

    I have an L3710 that I replaced my turf tired B9200 with recently. The L3710 has R4's that are loaded, so the whole machine is punching in around 6000lbs before I put something in the bucket...so figure 7000+ when I have something loaded and attachments... I use the machine on my lawn and...

    My new bad ar$e counterweight

    So my friend is surfing on Craigslist and locates a neat counterweight for sale about 40 minutes away from me. He shoots me the link and I inquire about it, but the guy never returned my text. I try again a few days later and get a response...talked with him about price and got close enough to...

    LA 1353 loader sag.

    DWallis, why not make a U shaped brace out of metal (many guys use angle iron) that slips over your hydraulic cylinder to prevent it from drifting down? It won't help your bucket curl cylinder but will help your boom one. Those are recommended for any work under the machine while its off...

    L3130 hst

    I'm with RCW. I have seen a few ~300-700hr L3130's with the heavy loader (and some with the light one) around here without aux hydraulics advertised between $14-18k. I have an L3710 that people are scared of buying and its 2000hrs young...I can't probably command much more than $13k for it and...

    B2400 pto hp

    Mink, there are parasitic losses from gears, seals, water pump, alternator, bearings and hydraulics by the time the "horsepower" gets from the flywheel to the PTO shaft. On the B2400, there is also a HST unit that is basically a large hydraulic pump and motor that makes the tractor move...

    B7510 w/ FEL 10.5k?

    Kubota still offers a few gear and shuttle (GST) transmission machines, usually on their L and M series. The BX are 100% HST, the B's are 100% HST now I believe as well. For large tilling and mowing operations I can see where gear or shuttle work better than an HST (holding a pedal down for...

    L3400 front end loader Hydraulic issues

    Problem description sounds like one of two directions. A. Valve body issue, swapped hoses, quick connect clogged/partially clipped on, etc. B. Hydraulic issue dead headed relating to backhoe or 3 point lift arms. Make sure your 3 point lift lever isn't in the "full up" position. When were...

    Trailer Shopping

    Ryan, I see you're towing your L2601 with loader and tiller now? Are the tires loaded? What about other implements in the future? Buying a "slightly larger" will never be a regret...but having something too small and overloaded? Definitely. I agree with your direction to grab a legit...

    Group buy, Upsized Hydraulic Cylinders for L39 & L45.

    Why not just crank up your hydraulic pressure a little? I have cranked my LA682 loader to lift closer to 2000+ lbs just with a shim. I know my dad did the same on his L48. Why not on your L35? The cylinders appear to be able to handle the additional pressure fine, you will be limited by...

    Paint faded on l4060. Options or advice?

    Car paint holds up great with Base coat/clear coat style paint, however that won't stand up to equipment abuse/use as well as a good enamel. Plus its a bear to touch up. Also, this is a piece of equipment designed to drive in the woods, lift dirt and rocks, pull plows and tillers, etc. There...

    turf vs r4 this dead horse needs a beatin

    The backhoe can be swung to the opposite side of the tipping to help counterbalance, so its worth even more than just static weight hanging off the back. Assuming you can anticipate a tip and plan accordingly... That said, back to the orig post on Turf vs R4. I had Turf on my B9200 and I have...
