    Made floor mats for my L4701

    My family thinks I am crazy but since both my tractors have cabs and I drive bare footed I make floor patterns out of paper and then cut nice carpet for the floors, cup holders etc. :)

    Anyone ever use one of these?

    I have Motometers on both my 1919 Model T and 1931 Model A. They work ok and are better than nothing! Infrared Temperature guns are cheap now and more useful as you can take temperatures aiming them at different parts of a radiator or engine and can use them anywhere. In the house, barn, in the...

    engineer mess ups

    I keep a small plastic container with tight lid full of baby powder in my barn. Take the oil dip stick and wipe with a paper towel, then dip into the baby powder and tap excess off. There will be a very thin layer of the powder left on the dip stick. Then reinsert, pull out and get a clear...

    front end loader

    Trying to decipher her post I gather that the pin on one side of the quick release is extended into the down lock position but the pin is outside the lower bracket so the bucket is cocked a bit on the pads and wedged in a bind situation. If that is the case it should take two folks to illeviate...

    Digging a pond

    It can be done with a lot of patience but basically I do not believe the FEL was designed for digging.

    Show me your Refueling Setup

    I have a 100 gallon square metal container from TSC with a 12v pump on top. Between my T4.75, B2650 and Diesel zero turn I go through more fuel than I first imagined. It's warm here on the Texas Gulf Coast 10 months of the year and some years we have no freezes so the tractors and mowers don't...

    Paint match?

    My two closest dealerships sell both versions in spray cans, quarts and gallon containers right off the shelf.

    Paint match?

    IMO Machinery is too expensive to let sit outside when not in use. My tractors, riding lawn mowers, sprayers, harvesters, cleaners, sizers, crackers and shellers are all kept indoors. Even the mowers, plows and disks are fork lifted onto shelves in the barn when not on the tractors. I have some...

    New Member, First "Real" Tractor, First (hopefully) imaginary concern

    It is still a free country and where you bought your tractor is basically none of your local dealership's business. Every dealership does warranty work and it should be no problem. If you don't mention where you bought the tractor they will most probably not ask. If they want your repair...

    B2650 Radio

    I am in the same situation and wonder why this radio was installed without head phone capability. Though the speakers are very good it is a joke listening to the radio with the engine running. You have to turn the sound up so high it literally hurts your ears! The radio in my NH T4.75 already...

    Moving gravel - should I get a bolt on cutting edge first?

    My goodness we worry too much sometimes. I have two buckets on very old Ford tractors, one over 35 years old and the second one over 40 years old. They have been used weekly over the years to move soil, gravel and sand and besides having surface rust and needing paint have no appreciable wear to...

    B2650 break in

    No tractor manufacturer says not to mow with your tractor the first 50 hours so what ever rpm's turn your three point rotary cutter at 540 rpm's is what I use for max engine speed for the break in period.

    B2650 Seat Rocking Forward and Back...

    Brand new B2650. No matter how far forward or back I adjust the seat it rocks back and forth even on slight bumps in the field and I can hear and feel the thump repeatedly even over the engine noise and wearing ear muffs. Is this poor engineering or is there something I can do? All the seat...

    B2650 Do HST Pumps Quiet Down When Broken In?

    Have had my B2650 with cab for two days and compared to the 21year old Ford 1215 I traded in this unit is really loud! Both have the HST transmission. Borrowed a decibel meter from a neighbor and at 2400 rpm standing still the engine puts out 67db but when the HST is engaged and riding in the...

    Opinions on the Kubota B2650?

    How much weight a tractor will pick up is related to size and hydraulics so how well it works for you depends on what you intend to lift. I just bought a B2650 for small jobs around the farm but well know the limitations of what it can do. I have commercial shelving in my largest barn to save...
