    Kubota L175

    I've found a really nice Kubota L175 across the mountains from me, about 4 hours away and its a decent price. I was seeing if anybody out where in OTT land has a L175 with a FEL on it. The one I'm looking at does not have one, but if and when I get my hands on it I'd like to install a FEL. I...

    Heavy duty thinking!

    I have a potential buyer for my tractor and all the attachments. I've been kicking around the idea of selling mine to upgrade to a larger tractor with a front end loader. Being broke kinda sucks because I was tryin to sell mine and replace it right away with a larger tractor. And not have to...

    Yellow break pedals

    Just curious as to why Kubota has yellow break pedals on early B series tractor? Pretty much every B series tractor I've seen weather it was a grey market or a U.S. model has yellow break pedals and I've always wondered why that is. Does anybody happen to know?

    Kubota good deed for the day

    I was at work today hauling a load of cinder blocks to one of our customers who lived back in the woods on a few acers of land and owns a Kubota L2850. I noticed his front end was up in the air and that he had a jack stand under the front axle. So I lent him a hand mounting his front tire back...

    Hillside mowing!

    I've noticed alot lately that some of you folks are concerned about mowing on a hillside with their tractor and worried about rolling over. I'd like to suggest maybe look into purchasing a Toro mid-size walk behind. The Toro walk behind is one of the toughest mowers I've ever owned and use in my...

    Middle Buster

    Every so often I come across a job where someone would like me to tear up some dirt and build a garden bed to plant veggies and such in. Owning a landscape business on the side I cant afford to pass up on a chance to make money but on the other hand I get asked to till up a garden every so...

    Stream line!

    I think maybe we can stream line and thin down some of the topic boards. 9 topics to post to and read from is a bit much to keep up with. I like how we originally had "tractor implement and operation" as one thread. I think maybe you could move Tires and Wheels to the Buying Advise thread. Just...

    Fishing woes....

    Wanted to find out how many people are having a hard time catching fish in the waters this year or is it just us who are having problems in Virginia USA. I've been several times this year salt water fishing and usually go with a group of people and nobody seems to catch anything in the bay. I'm...

    Bushhog, Gearbox or spindle.

    I have a slight booboo with my bush hog and I'm not sure if I need to replace the entire gear box or just a spindle. It took a helluva hit a while back and the bush hog wobbles like crazy all over the place. I looked underneath there today and I could grab the stump jumper and shake the entire...

    How to stop traffic!

    Yeah that was a dirty trick putting an empty money envelope on the trailer hitch and riding around town all after noon with it back there. That kinda pissed off alot of drivers when they tried to pull me over after they saw me laughing my ass off.
