I should also mention..... For you folks that live in the frigid weather..... When running a LP generator off of propane, a underground LP tank is the only way you can achieve the proper ambient fuel temperature to maintain a constant fuel pressure. Above ground tanks lose pressure as the...

Very interesting guys, thank you for the run down skeets it is something I've honestly never thought about. At my place, in the past 5 years we have been lucky not to lose power that often with all of the hellacious weather we've had. Although, this past summer a major transfer station had...

I've seen a lot of trees topped by arborist still standing today, there is one down the hill from me that looks like a horse shoe! Even Mother Nature likes to prune her trees with ice storms and strong winds, mountains full of them around here. Ever go to a mountain top and all of the native...

My buddie had a f350 that was impossible to start on the really cold days (block heater was shorted out and he never fixed it :rolleyes:). We learned a trick from a friend that owns a lot of heavy equipment. Take a large tarp, drape it over the machine, throw some weight on the tarp, and throw...

I have a good question for the electricians in the house..... I've been researching and scratching my head about what to get for a generator.... One thing that was pointed out to me in an add for a used Honda inverter generator was that they stated.... Produces clean power for electronics...

CO detectors are worth their weight in gold, $50 that can save your life. Gas codes are so strict now that we can even vent a gas appliance into a masonry chimney anymore. If it's a exterior chimney it has to be a stainless insulated type of pipe, interior chimneys can be vented with single...

Your a lucky SOB Wolfman, that is a prime example of my fear of electricity, it is no joke in any form! Why someone would even think about screwing around with a high voltage line blows my mind.... It's not even something to joke about. Even if you had to pay a professional to remove a tree...

Ouch.....:eek: Even the professionals get hurt. I've been electrocuted a few times, nothing more than 110 but it's still not a good feeling! Both times were from fishing copper pipes through a drop ceiling, the pipes hit some bad wires or exposed wires. One time it was in a Chinese resturant...

I'm a strong believer that anything dealing with electricity should be left up to the professionals, too many accidents happen where people get killed. A guy I've known all my life got killed weed wacking around some high tension lines that run through property owned by a large limestone quarry...

I bet that is a nice mower! I notice a lot of lawn guys around here run Scags, Toros, and a few kubotas. My buddy has a toro zero turn and says he could never go back to anything else cutting grass. All I know is they are all big $$$:eek:

Call the power company, I wouldn't try touching a power line with a metal pole.... I wouldn't want to hear that you turned into a crispy critter ;)

So use a small length of hydraulic hose with 2 male ends of the quick connect and loop the t branches together as a safe guard, if your not comfortable with it for some reason. Or you can take the handle off of the ball valve and just operate the valve with a wrench making it impossible to just...

One ball valve in the middle two TS on the Supply which will be shut when you have the splitter hooked up. That way the fluid will be flowing to your loader at the same time. Of course the splitter valve will have to be open center and assuming the loader valve is open center.

The theory of it is to just to keep the fluid pumping and circulating through the system until you operate a spool to function something. I'm no pro with tractors but have pumped some liquid in my day in ways it would make ones head spin. An open center system is really simple, it always needs...

Once in a while I come across a kubota push mower and a few generators but they are not that common to see. I know of two different guys that used their generators for 15+ years so I know they are of good quality. Diesels definitally last longer and use less fuel but I never have any problems...

I'm curious also and love learning new things about hydraulics....:D Wolfman, could he splice the T's in but also add two ball valves to bypass the loader valve and just change out the splitter spool to an open center type?

I'm surprised with all of the kubota lovers in here nobody owns one of their generators...:rolleyes: I've searched the inter web long and hard but didn't find much information on them. The only way to source a manual for one is eBay for 10-$20. The only issues I found with them is basic carb...

I use dry graphite spray, keeps any sand or dirt from sticking to the chain and lasts a long time.

That is interesting that it won't fit, but honestly I wouldn't know what can interchange between the different models. It looks exactly the same as my b205 blade on my 7100 minus the hydraulic angling, but pictures can be deceiving!

hello everyone, I've been looking for a generator for backup power. I came across two kubota gas generators, one is a a5000 and the other is a 5500. Both are electric start which I think would be handy to have if the wife needs it if I'm not around. Both are priced reasonably under $500. At...
