They ain’t cheap but 7.2 - 16 R1’s are available...

Causation makes a lot more sense now. Looks like you’re fortunate the failure point was a relatively cheap fix compared to some of the alternatives.

Check for mechanical issues as noted above. Check quick coupler connections, particularly if you’ve had any off recently. I’ve had problems with mine a couple of times and although the quick couplers “looked” right, unhooking them and hooking them back up resolved the issues. If no mechanical...

That last sentence about going slowly... Long ago lost count of how many times going slowly in a situation that was a little dicey has saved my butt. Get into it a bit, realize a wheel is lifting, things are getting tippy, front end is trying to flip over backward, and just stop. Maybe even...

Amazing what you can do with a BX (and dozer). 😂

I suppose the hydrostatic steering also explains why there doesn’t appear to be any “feedback” from the front wheels into the steering wheel. First old tractor I learned on, if you hit a decent rock or hole the “feedback” would about break your wrists, but that system was just two bevel gears...

I’m doing pretty much same stuff you are just have a bit more acreage. I agree with several others you may be better served to move up a frame size to a L. It isn’t so much a HP thing but loader capacity and weight. Doesn’t sound like you need the lighter weight to avoid turf damage. The extra...

If you really don’t like SSQA you could opt for pin on, Euro/Global, or John Deere Quick Attach. I’m aware Euro is used on big tractors but not CUTS and SCUTS, at least in the U.S. so implement sizing might be a problem. Also know John Deere system is used on John Deere but the plates are...

I agree risk is an intrinsic part of life. Like a lot of things in life, it needs to be managed but total avoidance isn't a reasonable goal. For me, and I sort of think a lot of tractor owners, much of what we do on our tractors is repetitive. I mow the same fields, dress the same road, chip...

Had a similar defect on my dad’s old open station Ford back when I was about 15. We were cutting a 90’ tree beside a power line pulling with a 100’ rope to make sure it went the right way. Knew it was kind of close so we had tension on the rope but tractor was unoccupied with brakes locked...

I sort of assume based on no empirical data at some point most employers will require it. The cost to businesses of quarantined and sick workers is astronomical (at least where I work). Just the quarantining of “exposed” employees is a kick in the head for us. If a vaccinated employee doesn’t...

Farm type tractors loading burn pits that are burning is a very effective way to kill yourself. This came up again today at work and I haven’t seen anything on it before thus this post. I looked for some public record photos but haven’t found any and only ones I have aren’t public record so...

After looking at all those really nice trailers, something a little different... Towing is not a joke at all but these pics kind of are. I have never towed this trailer in this condition (notice no plate on the trailer). My Dad bought the trailer 30 years ago and it sat in a shed without...

Of course you know now that it has a face you have to name it.

My dealer talked me out of getting one when I bought the tractor, clearly over estimating my abilities. Added the Kubota OEM level indicator a few months later. It wasn’t expensive, very low tech, very effective. Took about 15 minutes to install. Unless Kubota doesn’t offer an OEM for your...

I personally know nothing useful on this subject. You might find something useful in the previous similar discussion in the link below. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/hydraulic-chute-rotator.27905/post-430632

Hope that doesn’t happen to you. Had a similar influx here in the 70’s and 80’s with people moving down here to get away from metro areas in the northeast, particularly Rust Belt city areas. Some were wonderful people, but a lot would come here for lower cost of living, lower taxes, less...

Advantages of standalone: mobility and possibly capacity. A stand alone unit is highly preferable if you’re running a tree service. That requires traveling to a customer’s location, chipping as much of the tree as possible into the back of a truck, and leaving with the chips; all in as...

The value of and reasons for spending large sums on road vehicles not for business use is complicated and varied. An old Corolla will move your butt from one side of town to the other as effectively as a new Ferrari but it won’t assist you in attracting members of the opposite gender or...

Thank you. I was hoping to see the contrast of the black on the floor before doing mine. Tinting it orange is a neat trick but I prefer the contrast of the black. Very nice upgrade. I think Kubota should consider doing that from the factory and if not, their dealers should consider offering it...
