    grading and leveling

    They dont make things like they used to anymore. I have an older Woods Gehl grading box that has a hinged back blade and retractabe teeth that I dont have to get off the tractor to drop. I can reach behind the seat yank on a lever and the teeth drop. Poor design on the grading boxes of today is...

    How popular are sub-compacts???

    I have found out that Kubota now offeres insurance coverage for tractor's and if I remember correctly its offered on both new and used equipment. Kinda like full coverage insurance for your car.

    grading and leveling

    Keep in mind also a tractor will not grade out dirt in perfection, nor useing a front end loader will smooth out dirt in perfection either. A tractor it just a bulk work horse to move large amounts of material faster then a shover and wheelbarrow or a hand rake. Of all the yards I've installed...

    grading and leveling

    Why do you feel you need a hydralic top link on your tractor? Its a costly purchase and I dont have one on mine. Not saying its not a half bad idea but I'm personaly used to haveing the standard toplink. You just set the top link once and adjust to make sure the box is level to the ground and...

    Weather proofing tip and beating the elements.

    I just thought Id share this tip that we found out works fantastic to cover up tractors. Some owners use those blue tarps or nothing at all, and this was ment to inform those people who dont have a storage shed to put a tractor in. I love my tractor dont get me wrong but if I can cover it for...

    Weather proofing tip and beating the elements.

    We didnt have that much snowfall here in Richmond Va. It was around 10-15 inches but I tell ya this much, it was a great feeling tossing back the bedliner and all the snow fell off the tractor in one shot, front to rear came out clean. And with that much weight from snow and ice any tarp I have...

    I knew it would be a matter of time before someone had some real reasoning on this post. THANK YOU VIC. I do have all the manuals and never thought to mention that in posting an ad. I have mentioned before I would deliver free within 100miles of my home town, thought that might sweeten the deal...

    It could happen to you, Part 2~

    I got to thinking about that. If you took and tap and die set and put some threads on the end of the pin and then stick the cotter key threw that sucker should not ever do that again. I had to take the lower lift arms on my B6100 and stick bolts and lock nuts on the end up close to the tractor...

    Weather proofing tip and beating the elements.

    How popular are sub-compacts???

    I took all that into consideration. Besides the fact I have a crease in the hood and an eletrical problem which I am working to correct, theres nothing else a new owner would need other then something to do with it. I just put brand new tires and brakes on the rear and if I have maybe a total of...

    Weather proofing tip and beating the elements.

    What I like the most about them is a bedliner is heavy and wont blow over in the wind and really dont need rope or bunge cords to tie it down with. Oh and the other thing is they are free!

    How popular are sub-compacts???

    I'm thinking I just might hang this idea up all together for now. I've had a few people in the past try to offer me like 900 to 1000 and I refuse to let it go that cheap. And I've heard from a person "oh will I can go over here to xyz and buy it cheaper" I say go ahead your arent hurting my...

    How popular are sub-compacts???

    Oh I'm doing the same thing, I have it listed now on Craigslist for 4500. Yeah I know looking at 4500 is a bit much but my idea is people are going to try and haggle with me and beat me down to a lower price. I figured 3500 to maybe as low as 3000 CASH I'll accept. Im just sick and tired of...

    B6100E engine swap

    Here a thought. Could he buy the 18hp motor and use it for parts on the D650 engine block? I cant forsee the injector pump and injectors being all that much different or are they?
