I invested in an ALL AMERICAN sharpening system and an Oregon balancer! bothe work extremely, well. When I engage my blades on the Kubota Z422, they spin as smooth as silk!

Just some StarTron or Seafoam (Stabil in the old days) in the full tank. NEVER had any starting or running issue in my whole life and I’m 75 this year. Don’t overthink it! Run the motor after adding the additive, of course!

Try the vaccuum trick on the filler hole…holds the fluid in so you can do the filter swap…haven’t tried this but heard of it…

When I took delivery of my Z422 I mentioned to the sales manager how difficult the deck adjustment knob was…he tried it and said holy crap! That’s not good, and summoned a tech to fix it then and there. A little lube on the “stepper shaft” of whatever you call it, and voila! Just like new and...

I have never had grease guns that leaked…my garage gets hot as hell. Best thing I ever bought was the Milwaukee grease gun and LockNLube! That said, I should go grease my BX25D!

No real “mud” but all sand with excellent drainage. I’m lucky in that respect.

Tell me about it! I had a bad “walnut” taken out of my lower belly a year ago…had to have a special “bag” installed to catch my leaked down “hydraulic fluid” 🤣 I wasn’t under warranty either!😞

Leak down…it’s a “thang” with hydraulics!

Strong enough for a low wall like this. On my next (higher) wall the dead-men will be full 6x6 and embedded in the embankment with rebar driven down into the earth. The smaller ones have a rebar driven through as well. This will outlive me, I’m sure.

By the way, here’s the more finished version of the first wall (with flickering flame, chinesium lights) 🤣

Thanks! Yes, it’s easy to overthink a job but the more you do think about it, you will be sure you’re doing it the right way, whichever you choose. It’s not rocket surgery and with these little workhorses, a lot easier than digging and moving dirt by hand! I’m kinda fortunate that my entire...

Next section of wall…

Had to excavate some of the banking behind our log home addition to allow for clearance with machines, etc., a few years ago. Addition came out great and other homeowner things took precedence for the last few years, the last being a bout with cancer last spring/summer. This year, back to...

Roll the dice! Chances are your tractor will not need it. But…and it’s a BIG BUT, for PEACE OF MIND, if it’s not a burden, get the insurance. Stuff is EXPENSIVE these days…😊 Good luck and enjoy your toy!

Not really a huge issue as I have no reason to roll it any time soon. Just figured I’d mention it to see if any other Z400 series guys would pipe up.

Sure but on my perfectly flat and smooth garage concrete floor it should roll.

My Z422 has those levers and my machine would not roll either. Didn’t try for long but perhaps it’s an issue with these mowers? Have to try again at some point but haven’t needed to roll it anywhere.

Yes, very familiar with Mr Short!

Just remembered…BRO-TEK PRODUCTS!

Ordered some stuff from him over the years but can’t recall his company name…sold ripped teeth and such and also armor for underneath to protect the HST fan. I believe his name was Richard?
