Yep, neighbor moved last summer and gave me a couple plastic, 5-gal diesel containers. I filled them up, along with my 3 I already had, and, unloading them from the pickup, I had the smack-my-forehead moment realizing now I don't need to go buy smaller containers, don't have to struggle up on...

The 72" will be too narrow. The blade needs to be wider than the wheelbase 'cause the blade will usually be angled and the edges of the blade will then not extend to the outside of the rear wheels.

My 4701 DT just this a.m. shows the code P3001. I cannot find a list of the P codes in either the op' manual or shop manual. I recall other posters in the past saying they could not find a list of codes, either. What is the 3001? 116 hr on tractor. I doubt is has to do with regen' as that...

We don't get three or four ft but every few years, usually more like 24" or less. I have a loader bucket and rear blade, no chains or weights or liquid in the tires. When the snow is deep, I will use the bucket to push a path along our 500' drive. Just to break it up and not really to clear all...

As to the advice above, better talk to your dealer if you end up deciding to have them pick up and deliver back your tractor. Mine will deliver a newly-purchased tractor, but for maintenance or service, I have to hire a co. to come get it and then bring it home. Even for warranty work.... The...

I live a mile up a one-lane dirt road from where the dealer has to deliver a tractor to me. Therefore, my first use of a new tractor is to drive it a mile to home. This time, I arrived home in my 4701 and noticed coolant leaking from the radiator onto the carport floor. I discovered that both...

That section of driveway in your photo looks a lot like mine here in Colorado. I use a back blade on my tractor and keep it relatively nice. It is a chore I need to do every now and then, as our rocks continue to grow up out of the road surface due to warm/cold cycles in the weather. And as I...

Not clear on the filter pre-soakng: did you take the oil for that from the total 6 qts or did you put in 6 qts plus what you pre-charged the filter with?

Just yesterday stopped in at the KUBOTA dealership and bought four gallons 15-40 oil and some oil filters. They had lots of both, other oil weights as well. Asked them if they had more in back, they said sure did. Kubota brand.

Ok, as the owner of another 4701 DT, I had never heard of this. Thanks for the post. [Probably not only the 4710 that this could affect.] In fact, I haven't heard of "lowering coolant temp'" to reduce emissions. I'll have to ponder that one.

I have a Land Pride blade but don't know model # offhand. I replaced the 6' blade with a 7' when I bought a larger tractor, and it is an easy swap. Anyhow, as to your project, might wanna invest in a couple of skid shoes, I bought some last fall and makes my blading work easier. My blade does...

Leaves compost quite easily, make a compost pile and no problem. Leaves that have been ground up or "mulched" as some call it compost even faster.

Shipping charges at my dealer depend. When I ordered a larger blade for my LP, it cost me trucking fee. Shortly thereafter, I ordered a few other things, some skid shoes and such, and the parts guy said if I were not in a big hurry he could add it to their upcoming regular order and I'd have no...

On my most recent tractor purchase, I wasn't planning on trying to use a credit card. Kubota had another of their 0% financing things going, which sounded ok, but when the dealer came up with my final pricing, I asked whether paying cash would drop that number, and he took off another $700 for...

Mine is powered by a Honda engine. I looked hard at the PTO models and ultimately decided that I didn't need to run a big tractor engine to do my splitting, a small, efficient gasoline engine would be fine. And it is. The PTO versions are nice in that one can drive the tractor to the wood and do...

When I leave for a few days, both my tractor and tool shed keys go into our gun safe with all our back-up key copies. My wife knows the combo, so in the very unlikely event she'd need the tractor, she can get the key. I learned over the decades not to loan out a car, chainsaw, tools, or guitar...

I don't have a chipper of any brand, but I have a Wallenstein wood splitter. So I can at least comment on quality. I paid what is probably 20% more for my splitter than I would have for a Chinesium model, and I find it was well worth it. Very good quality and in ten years of use, zero problems...

I am building something similar to this, with an added "tongue" [T] and all swivel casters. Scrap 2 x 6.

I have an 84" blade on my Land Pride rear blade. It was a constant job to keep the blade at just the right height to prevent it gouging my dirt/gravel [snow in season] 450' drive. Last fall, I installed two skid shoes on the blade and they do help a lot. Dealer suggested I could get by with only...

On mine, dealer wrote up the order and I asked whether there was a discount for cash. He said, cash is king, knocked off $700 I believe it was.
