    what implement to lightly loosen soil..

    I would think a plug aerator would do nice. you can pull the plugs, then go over it with a chain harrow to break up the pulled plugs and distribute the dirt and cover the holes. at a good course they'll collect and compost the plugs and fill the holes with sand. the sand helps with drainage and...

    America - Land of the Free

    We almost hit a bald eagle the other day on the way to work. He was just down on the road munching on some nice roadkill. On another note, at my grandma's farm in Iron River (we vacation there every summer), when my dad is cleaning fish on the dock he has to be careful. He'll throw the guts...

    Custom Lawn Roller 3 point

    Is there a way you could hold the lever in the down position? It sounds like in that case when the terrain started falling away from the implement it would lower and the implement would follow. Something as simple as a zip tie might work, but it would be nice to have some sort of integrated...

    What an idiot! - wrong PTO Lever

    Chances are everything is fine. It's a boneheaded move and one of those things to keep reminding you how easy it is to muck stuff up. Under no load that PTO should get up to speed real quick-like. The broken stuff happens when you DO have a load and you hammer on it. No load... Probably...

    3 point linkage on my front end loader

    the top needs to hook up otherwise the take will just swing down when you lift the "bucket". Sent from my XT1254 using Forum Fiend v1.3.2.

    First time tractor owner advice?

    I second this. The harder you press the pedal, the higher "gear" you are in. If you hear it bogging down, like when climbing a hill, or pulling a blade or something, back off on the pedal until your engine speed is back up. You'll find the balance between the engine speed and how fast you can...

    B7100HST won't Engage in 4wd....

    I was going to suggest a little pb blaster or something like that too. A little oil in there to help break anything loose. Glad it's working. Glad it was an easy fix.

    Battery Powered Sawzall ?

    I love the ryobi one+ tools. they've taken a beating and keep going. I had one battery die on me, but it's also taken some big falls onto concrete. Sent from my XT1254 using Forum Fiend v1.3.2.

    Water proof storage box L 3940

    Aha, that would explain it. I didn't realize there was anything down there. It definitely does look beefy. I wish I had room on mine for something like that.

    Dirt Scoop Sizing

    Hey, I have the same tractor (just got it over the winter). Mine came with a scoop, which I wasn't all that interested in to begin with, but after learning how to best use it, it's grown on me a little bit. I'm not sure how they do sizing on them, but here's a picture of it on my tractor...

    Water proof storage box L 3940

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned concerns over drilling into your ROPS. That seems to be a hot-button issue around here.

    Snow Blower vs Snow Blade with a gravel driveway

    On the other hand, you're spending alot less time going backwards and going back over the same areas with the blower. With the blower, once you go over it, that's prettymuch it. With the plow it seems like there's alot of back and forth over the same areas. I'm anticipating I can blow in, at...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Saturday I started out by heading to the tractor store to pick up a block heater kit. When I got home I jumped on the tractor and started dethatching and sweeping my lawn. It gets so nasty under the snow. Hopefully this gives it a jump start and it'll grow nicely. I should really get the...

    What kind of chainsaw you have?

    I just recently got a hand me down husky 365 from my fil. runs like a champ. I just need to lift some weights and get strong enough to use it. Fil is a logger... it was one of his little saws. Sent from my XT1254 using Forum Fiend v1.3.2.

    '94 B7100 and block heater

    Awesome Wolfman, you're a savior. Is that adapter 25mm or something? I have to imagine freeze plugs come in fairly standard sizes, and if I recall correctly 25 was one of the options on my engine.

    '94 B7100 and block heater

    Afternoon all, I have a little bit of a rant and then a question I've been trying to answer for the last couple months. If you want to skip the rant, by all means, just go to the last bit. First off, I've been trying to find a block heater for my B7100 since I just got a new to me snow blower...

    Sugarin'

    at my parents house we just tapped the red maples. that's all we had. needed slot more sap, but it was still good. not that clear super fancy stuff, but some good ol' smokey flavored syrup. to be honest, I think I like that stuff better than the clear stuff. Sent from my XT1254 using Forum...
