    M6800 Observation

    Not quite clear on what all is 2” taller on the one tractor other than the drawbar. Do all the drawbars match? Even if they’re all offset (i.e. “drop” drawbars) rather than straight, are they offset the same amount? Even if there’s only one OEM drawbar, if any were purchased used it’s quite...

    What to get the wife?

    Funny. My wife also asked for a chainsaw a couple years ago. Got her one of those battery yard tool sets with a little saw, blower, and weedeater. They aren’t a replacement for their larger gas counterparts but they’re quite handy for routine yard work. So yeah. Maybe get her a battery operated...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    That’s miserable for people and livestock. Today here feels like first day of fall. It isn’t, but it feels like it.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    The main rowed up, then abandoned for 5 years or so, field we recently picked up from a developer was a self propagated meadow, which was fine with us, but being rowed up and having a swale near the middle that eroded into a less than preferable ditch was making it quite difficult to bush hog...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Had several trees fall across the trails when Debby came through. This maple was the largest and most irritating as it was at the western most creek crossing. Obviously rotten at the bottom but was hanging on too tight to just pull it off the stump. Couldn’t tell exactly how much of it was...

    Daily Chuckle

    Thanks for the meme. I have already shared it with a couple of my friends who came to mind immediately.

    Printer Recommendations

    If you don’t need color printing, a gray scale laser printer can be a good option. I’ve been using a HP LaserJet Pro MFP M227fdw for a couple years for home a light small business use. Toner isn’t cheap per cartridge but it’s pretty cheap per page. Last cartridge was about $90 but it lasts for...

    Buying a Kubota

    That was a smoking deal, even 15 years ago.

    Buying a Kubota

    Yeah. I’d be comfortable routinely loading and unloading 1000lb pallets/skids at semi trailer height with my L4701, with reasonable ballast of course. For that job “reasonable ballast” to me would be minimum the 1000lb added by loading the R4 rears plus at least 500lb additional on the 3 point...

    Small beach maintenance machine?

    Because you have such a specific task, I would start by determining the appropriate implement(s) and then match the tractor required to run them. There are some good suggestions above. You also might consider something specifically designed for beach cleaning/conditioning. Even if you don’t have...

    John Deere Pick Up Truck

    Looks like it was made in the same factory as the Caterpillar pickup. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/amazing-new-truck.70370/#post-738786

    How sketchy is it?

    If it fits, it ships.

    Educate me on how to pick a grapple

    Reasonable points. My suggestion a repair was in order assumed the individual repairing had some knowledge of when to use or not use heat, how to relieve stress, and ability to fix welds broken in the attempt to remove a stump with the lid or broken in the repair process. I should not have...

    Educate me on how to pick a grapple

    I hadn’t watched that whole video until this morning. (It’s raining here.) I didn’t see anything outside of what I’ve routinely done with my grapple for the past 5 years and a lot more than 13 hours until about the 9:48 mark. That is assuming he’s pushing in the trees, not ramming them. At the...

    National Park Service 4WD Only Trails. No AWD Allowed.

    Unless something changed in the past couple years, the beaches on the NC outer banks that are controlled by the NPS require a permit to drive on. To get the permit you have to take a short class where you get some basics of sand driving, explain the absolute cluster that will ensue if you get...

    Backyard pond

    We had a break in several years ago. The burglars didn’t cause as much damage as your guests’ children.

    White smoke

    Couple things. First off, I’m not the best mechanic on this forum, but I agree with others above. If you put in the amount of oil specified in the manual rather than the amount indicated by checking the dipstick, it was almost certainly overfilled. Agree setting the level correctly per the...

    What is the oil level on the dipstick?
