    Daily Chuckle

    DAMN! How tall are the trucks where ever that is? Ours are 13'6" as a max. 14' in some provinces. But 15' posted as a LOW bridge!

    Camera Mounting and Advice

    I've never used them first hand but from a bunch of the videos I've seen, they use magnet bases. GP outdoors has some amazing shots, multiple unique angles.

    Flushing out fuel tank

    I also recently had to remove mine to flush it. It was a royal pita to remove but well worth it once I saw how much crud was in it. 2 Jerry can spouts and a few o rings, plus about 1/2" of silt over the whole bottom. Yes it was definitely used before I got it, 16 years. Apparently landscaping...

    Scraping grass off sides of a driveway?

    Along with the chain toplink idea, add adjustable casters behind the blade. It should keep it from digging in too deep when the tractor drops in a hole.

    Rock bucket on Craigslist

    Thats impressive that they got back to you so quickly. Their response should help put your mind at ease. Its too bad they didn't touch up the bare metal though, even a rattle can job. Enjoy your new toy ...um..... tool! Now we need some pictures of it getting a workout.

    Can I use a Box Blade with Turf Tires for my project?

    Depending how smooth you're aiming for, you could take a simpler approach. Cut the grass as low as possible, haul in topsoil or sand, level and smooth, lightly pack, and over seed. If you lengthen the toplink some, the BB shouldn't dig in but spread and smooth. It will also knock off some of...

    Rock bucket on Craigslist

    It definitely looks modified after the factory paint. It looks like they added 2x2" angle iron as a spacer, to add more roll back. Should help it hold more rocks. I believe the back of most buckets lay forward roughly 10-15 degrees. Yours looks square, so you'd lose 10-15 worth of rollback. It...

    L48 start problems

    FRS, Your looking for 4 safety switches according to the schematic. PTO, seat, clutch, and range selector. There's also a large 50amp fuse next to the starter. If thats blown, it won't crank with the key but it would still have power to jump the solenoid at the starter. I know its not the...

    TRACTOR SUPPY STORES for KUBOTA?

    I've recently stumbled across an aftermarket parts site. They seem to carry a little of everything. I bought new glow plugs and glowplug controller from them. With shipping it was less than 1/3rd dealer price. I couldn't justify spending $178.00 plus taxes for the controller. I can't believe...

    Narrow tractor, crazy wide wheels

    Sounds like a perfect application for a ventrac, possibly with duals. Kind of depends what you need to do. I'm amazed of what they can do, but they are darn expensive. I'm in no way affiliated with them, just impressed with some of the capabilities. Sorry, its not a dis against kubota, I...

    Picture of your tractor on your trailer

    Thanks for the quick response. Yes I'm looking for a bigger trailer, if I find one at the right price. Ideally I'd like a 22' deck over, tilt deck. Its just not in the budget anytime soon.

    Picture of your tractor on your trailer

    I know its been covered a lot of how to chain down the tractor. And that the loader bucket should have at least a strap over it. But....... ...I'm not trying to rock the boat. Theres been a few photos of some backhoes traveling in the air. Is it allowed? Obviously the travel/lock pin would be...

    Well this sucks

    I've gone thru Champion and King, now I'm trying a Firman. They're all ch'onda engines. The first two ran to about 15-1700 hrs before major issues. The Firman is up to about 450 hrs, still running strong. As far as the issue you're having skeets. I had very similar happen on the King. It ended...

    Insurance in Canada for Kubota Tractor

    Mine is though Intact. They were the only company my broker could find to cover it. I believe I'm paying $260ish a year. Personal use only, not commercial. I can still drive it down the road to do work at the neighbor's but for trade only. 😉

    B2150 hydraulic deliver pipe failures

    Is it possible that when you tighten the banjo bolts, the pipe is twisting slightly? With constant pressure against the brazed joint, it's just a matter of time with vibrations before something gives. I'm not familiar with the setup, especially what the drawing doesn't show. Check the other...

    L3560 - pine rows

    If you want it done quickly without beating up your tractor, maybe consider hiring someone with the right equipment. It sounds expensive upfront, but considering how long it could take you with a backhoe (plus the cost of the hoe if you don't already have one). But then you still have the...

    Steep Trail Solution

    Google 'mechanical concrete' I'm not sure how steep of an incline it can be used on. It looks like a promising idea for certain areas. I'm thinking on a steeper slope, bolt or tie them together, then add stakes on the uphill tires. Fill with crushed stone for extra drainage. Pictures or...
