Another 2 hrs today clearing out down to the hangar. This snow is so windpacked it set up like concrete, unbelievably heavy also. With these heaped up buckets it was making my (filled) rear tires a bit light, and that's with the snow thrower on! I didn't realize how heavy until I picked up a...

In the 40 years I've lived on this mountainside, I don't recall a longer period of very strong winds and precip, then the last several days. I have a grid tied wind turbine, and it's inverter keeps track of how many KWH are produced while it's online, once the wind dies and the turbine quits...

"Industry" tires, interesting, I thought they'd best be called Ag tires! No matter, their not "turf" tires anyway. As it was, the tractor was on the dealer lot, I had the money burning a hole in my pocket, and they looked Ag enough, and now 2 years later I find they are not Ag tires, oh well...

Spacers ordered, it sounds like they build them as the orders come in, and the guy on the phone was standing in the shop. CNC machined out of aluminum billet, and he has 200 sets in front of me. 10 days......if I would have been thinking I'd have ordered in July! Another 16" overnight, on top...

Ha! My first thought when I saw that picture was, "man that looks like my dog Spike", then it clicked.....nice view! Thanks for that. I'm resigned to ordering the spacers, in 30 minutes or so, as soon as they open, I want to get my new chains back on before spring. Now that I know for sure a...

I just ran out to my outbuilding and re-eyeballed those rear wheels, they are single piece, and deeply dished. If swapped, you couldn't even get them back on. They are un-swappable in other words. I think this may be a fact of life with the L3301, a cost savings thing by Kubota I'd bet, the only...

Snowing and blowing heavily again, we got 19" today alone. First thing, before ordering any spacers (the dealer is out of the picture, don't need to pay extra for orange ones) I'll pull it in the shop first thing and double check what can be gained by doing a swap. Those rear chains are also...

Thanks guys, I feel better now! I'll call my dealer I bought it from and run it by him. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that first, guess I was just assuming the clearance would be adequate. It is, almost, and the almost part is pretty annoying. I was really hoping Kubota hadn't gotten so...

I finally got around to extending out the rear chains I bought for my since sold/smaller tractor, to fit the bigger tires on the 2 year old L3301. I have the double crosslinks, they don't sit down inside the treads but ride on top, perfect. I also modified some old chains for my pickup for the...

Several times over the last 10 years or so, living near a junction of two major interstates like I do, I have seen a heavy equipment low boy trailer, obviously deadheading back from his last heavy haul, with a Tonka Toy type loader, maybe 24" long at best, lashed down to the bed! I'm sure he...

After plowing my gravel driveway, I accidentally discovered if I made my last pass in reverse, with the front blade tilted just right, the tractor's wheel tracks will disappear! Getting into the spirit of it, I made another overlapping pass, and after parking the L3301 walked out with the dog...

After a big snowstorm, with the usual high winds, I had 3 foot drifts across my rural driveway. No problem getting cleared, with the L3301's 6' snowblade (with power angle) in front, and the blower on the rear. But for some reason I decided to make the final pass with the blade curled forward a...

I pulled the L3301 into the heated shop to hit the zerts on the snowblower, front power angle snow blade, and the FEL. Good thing, while doing so I noticed I had a leak from a fitting and was losing hyd. fluid at a rate just low enough for me not to notice when operating but REAL obvious on the...

I bought a Woodmaxx chipper and flail mower earlier this year, if their blower is anything like them, you can't go wrong.

You nailed it perfectly! I had to run my front blade a few hours before I stumb led upon that method of operation.

Pro built, adjustable heavy rubber scraper bottom, just drive up to it and use your FEL to engage and lift it. Super quick and easy to change between the FEL bucket for picking snow up, or pushing it. If you want to back drag with it, use 2 chain binders to tie it to the bucket, for pushing...

I got my 13' by 30' add on to an extisting out building completed just in time, winter is here, at 5600'! Half way through the project, I was having misgivings, as it was more work and money then expected. A week later I can't imagine not having it, now my chipper and flail mower, bought this...

Ha! Like me, I see your ROPS is still folded in half, no doubt due to where you keep it, with the door height being the deciding factor. Just today, while I had the L3301 in the heated shop, I took that unused section off, I'll put it back on when I sell the tractor. It is highly unlikely I'll...

Sure, these new diesels start real well in cold weather without pre heating, BUT I look at it as: do I want to get woke up by an airhorn alarm, or an alarm that softly starts playing music, gradually increasing in volume?! Both methods get me up, but one is much easier on me. Unless one does...

Get around crane guys and call a shackle a clevis, ancd this is what happens! If you want to be absolutely precise when pointing to a shackle, as commonly used in crane rigging, and as was pictured, call it a shackle. Calling it a clevis is also correct, sort of, shackle is MORE correct, at...
