    Thump Position

    Good Luck! I didn't give you all of the fine details, it was much worse than that. Both dealers are having problems hiring qualified people, when I asked about wages offered I found that the pay was inline with McDonald's, maybe that might be a problem.

    Diesel vs Propane Home Backup Generator

    You talking to me? How do you lockout the main breaker in the house and switch to the generator a great distance away and do it for a cheap price? Seems like there would be a considerable cost to run heavy wire under the drive and hundreds of feet to the panel in the house. I'm not arguing...

    Thump Position

    Yes. it was installed back asswards, the installation manual shows it correctly, I fixed it myself. You would think that someone that was given the job to install swivel hardware would actually see if the seat swivels when done. 🤪

    Thump Position

    First I took the brand new tractor back to the selling dealer and had them pull a new thumb kit which was a box of wrong parts. They kept the tractor for most of the summer and together with the Kubota support accomplished exactly nothing. I contacted the extremely useless customer service...

    Thump Position

    The dipper stick was manufactured wrong with the thumb mount about 3/4" out of position. The parts in the thumb kit were all wrong and even other new kits were junk.

    Diesel vs Propane Home Backup Generator

    My generator is in the barn some distance away, perhaps you have a cheap method of doing an interlock in this case.

    Land Pride box blade defective shank failure

    So then they had a controlled crack? I have been in the tool & die business for only 59 years, perhaps I don't understand manufacturing?

    BH70 lever broke

    Mine were COMPLETELY loose on day one, the BH70s are simply kits with much assembly and inspection required.

    Land Pride box blade defective shank failure

    He said that there was paint in the crack so it was defective before it made it to the paint booth. Yes, it appears to be a bad design but they have no control over the manufacturing process.

    Which is better: battery blanket or magnetic fluid warmer?

    The oil is forced between metal parts with a .001" gap, don't you think that the oil will pick up the heat from those parts?

    check your welds

    I saw your post on FB, more people should hang out Kubota's dirty laundry. At least the parts were in the correct location unlike a part on my rig that was 3/4" off. My junk Virnig grapple had a tine that wasn't welded properly and it broke something like yours. This ain't your fathers world...

    Are deck wash kits worth it?

    I put one on a cheap disposable tractor, it cleaned a little but overall a waste of time and money. Here is one three hour mowing accumulation of nearly 5 gallons:

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I walked around with a very large lump of cash in my pocket. :)

    Pins - Arrrgh

    Make sure that the grease actually goes to all three bushings, my Kubota had the wrong pin with NO GREASE HOLE.

    Finish mower blade sharpening? Jigs, freehand, angle grinder, bench grinder, stone, paper?

    Since you are now free handing the grinder, how is that any different? That "system" is just a fancy vise.

    Oil shelf life

    How old are the additives that were added, do they last millions of years?

    Oil shelf life

    Blackstone Labs did a newsletter in 3 parts about old oils, see the April, June & October 2012 newsletters for much information. If you don't want to spend the time, this statement in the end says a lot: "We stand by our statement that “oil is oil” and in the end, it doesn’t make a lot of...

    Diesel type fuel

    Did you ever ride in one? I made two trips across PA in the stupid things. You had to look back miles before daring to merge. Apparently they will do 99 MPH if you have all afternoon to make it happen and they will not even hold the speed limit on the turnpike upgrades.
