    Looking at buying a FEL/Backhoe

    Nice dolly! Maybe should be called, "Mz Parton". I like that it has its own fuel system; does it use much when off the tractor?

    Looking at buying a FEL/Backhoe

    Oh, what horrible tormenting! :D:D:D Reading between the lines, it seems that wives with such positive viewpoints are rare, even in OTT. Yours is a treasure, and I'm very happy to hear it. All the best!

    Tiny-Tach install on B6100

    Well, Tomcat tipped me over the edge, and I diddit. A little side note: I read on the Website that there are two choices, and they are only a few thousandths different in size. "Everybody" said that Kubotas use the 6mm fuel line, but I thought mine looked awful 'fat' to be 6mm (years of tool &...

    Looking at buying a FEL/Backhoe

    1. I don't know; I'm sure one of the guys who has the BH will chime in. I'd be surprised if it was a 3PH attachment; the Kubota BHs I've seen mounted to the rear end or a subframe. 2. Yes and no... there are a few arrangements in QA systems, and several propitiatory ones. You will find several...

    How about best video of successful equipment...

    Nearly fell off my chair! sawmill, you better put a warning beacon on your posts like the orange triangle on the back of your tractor! And I think if it had been my fingers, I'd have been picking 'em up with my lips if I had to!

    First post, first tractor. Pricing questions

    Oh, Kevin, I forgot to mention that. My tractor is (fortunately) an old one, 'way before the Tier IV requirements. However, I've followed the posts of folks who are impacted by it and will pass on some reassurance I've gleaned. (Some of the gurus will chime in with hard data, I'm sure.) With...

    Fuel for thought L3301

    Martin, those cans are great! When you get 'em up, the fuel really flows fast. At my age and condition, I find it necessary to pour off a couple of gallons into a small can, then heft that. A fuel station is in my dreams, but in reality, right now I use less than a gallon a month. I suggest...

    Cheap Hydro-Bagger project

    Well, I can't offer any advice or suggestions on any part of your project. However, I think you really scored big, and I'm happy for you. In my ignorance, I think that if you rig the hydraulics and find that you can't get enough power to loft the leaves, the worst case is that you will trade it...

    First post, first tractor. Pricing questions

    Hi, JKS3613, Glad to see another Louisiana boy in the forum! (Although you're on the "other" side of the river... :D) First, since you just moved to Zachary, where have you lived that gave you all the tractor and heavy equipment experience? Then next, I'm puzzled: pasture and mower -- are you...

    Another Orange Owner has arrived

    Nice rig! Beautiful lab, too! (If my "faithful companion" hadn't been neutered as an infant, I'd be wondering if she weren't his mother!) If I recall, Fenton isn't hilly -- hills is why you really, really want a wider tread. However, the Piranha TB is the best investment I've made, better even...

    How about best video of successful equipment...

    From the sound, and the hiccup in the wheel's rotation, it seems he's powering it with a hit-and-miss. Wonder what he was splitting that stopped that wheel dead?

    Hmmm... why do I imagine that TJ is interested in acquiring an L3010?

    Safety, ROPS, and Rollovers

    Thanks! I was already a believer, having had a near-miss the first time I actually put my Kub to work (and I did not have my seat belt fastened). One issue I have with the statistics is the inclusion of deaths in farm work-related injuries (20%) when discussing benefits or wisdom of...

    B8200 HST Steering Issue

    Don't have any knowledge, Dave, sorry. However, I've found myself in the same kind of predicament and found the online parts diagrams at Kubota.com to be of tremendous help in answering my puzzles.

    Loading tires

    Thanks, Dieselbob, that's a great write-up! You're so clever (love that 'funnel stand'!) -- how about coming up with a vent, maybe in your Slime adapter, to let air out without the burps? (I'm envisioning a flexible tube about the size of a coffee stirrer that would stick in the tire a bit and...
