    Dumbest thing you've done in a shop

    I was using an angle grinder with a steel brush to remove some rust from the bonnet of a car. I pressed really hard and slipped of the bonnet and the highly rotating steel brush caught my trousers next to my zipper. It was blocked by the fabric and made snarl noises. I felt nothing but was...

    Maximum weight of rototiller B7000 can handle

    Maybe the arms of your 3ph are the limiting factor... My B1-15 (1502) is very close to the B7000 and it can only handel 180kg!! Thats ~400lbs only. In the manual is a list of limits depending on the operation. Maybe you check the power of the capacity of lifting, befor you buy something you can...

    Pics of my little Bota's work!

    Nice pic's. I have seen the news in TV even here in Germany. And it look really like a lot of snow in a short time. Hard times... By the way, since I use a digital camera I never rotate the camera anymore. Printouts you can rotate in the hands, but the Monitor is a little bit heavy. And with...

    LED lighting

    I have a question. When I lived in the US at Gloucester, 10 years ago, I saw also a lot of private Pick-Up's with a snow blade at the front to clean the parking areas of big shops and also small roads. And when I read, that you do this every morning in the snow season for around three hours of...

    LED lighting

    Your Kubote becomes more and more like a x-mas tree :p All the flashing lights would drive me crazy in the evening/night working with the traktor. I think the reason is, that nowadays you get very easy an action at law because somebody hasn't seen the snow blowing traktor and drove into your...

    PTO question

    Hello, I was also planing to add a chipper. In the end I want do build one. After several talks with some friends I changed my mind to a selfmade chipper with it's own 13hp engine. The reasons were that some friends/people would like to borrow/rent the chipper, but the door to the backyard is...

    This has nothing to do with tractors

    99% of all species are wiped of this planet and I am not responsible for the misery on earth. BUT if somebody/-thing next to me need help and is in a bad situation, I give a hand. We have also a lot of wildlife around the house and I try to support them a little bit, but allways in a distance to...

    B5000 3 Point Hitch Brackets

    You are looking for something like this: yenibiz It is a 3ph (3 point hitch). I have also bought one for my B1-15. But I don't know if the B5000 has the holes below the PTO at the gear box to get the 3ph fixed. So maybe you need something like the plates shown in the ad. Good luck carl

    Diesel - to much summer in the middel of winter

    Thanks for your replay's. But as I have written at the top, it is allready fixed!!! I have used Kuno in the meanwhile some hours to push the snow around and there is no problem with the diesel anymore. What I did, was sucking out the summer-Diesel, filling in fresh winter-Diesel, changed the...

    Diesel - to much summer in the middel of winter

    Hello, you think it's water? But when I used my heatgun to melt it, it smell's like paraffin, like a candle. And it looks like wax after it dropped down and cool again. It didn't look like water at all... Here in germany they use different mixtures for the Diesel regarding the season. Time...

    Diesel - to much summer in the middel of winter

    HoHoHo, I was planing to pull my wife and child on a sled behind my Kuno, but the engine didn't want to rev up or even died many times. No Fun, But Work... I got some winter-diesel from the gas station and started the service at the tank. Sucking the summer out. :-) In the meanwhile I...

    FEL alternative

    Yes, I had the same idea after I have seen all the traktors in malaysia using just a bucket to make the roads there. So I also make a bucket for my Kuno. But without hydraulics, just for lifting and leveling. And to move new tree's as I have written in another thread here. After a lot of using...

    Hmm, buying a kubota is like an infection, its just growing. First you start with a little tractor and end up with the need of an extra building and maybe even with a "more need" for land... ;) I don't know how the kubotas do it, but they make us multipley them. They get new attachments or...

    CAUTION !!! Its just a chinese copy... :) The german VW has had a prototyp 2002 ago. I believe it is the one on the pictures. It was a 2-Seater, sitting behind each other. The CEO of VW drove that car 200 miles to an exibition with 0.78 liter/100km. But it would be too expansive to produce...

    New to Kubota

    Hello, if you want to mow the gras, think about that the equipment should be able to collect the gras. Otherwise the gras will get a lot of "spots" from the old cut gras. For cleaning the wild, the bushes and so maybe you try a rotary-mulcher. That thing is really effektiv. I also use it to cut...
