Anyone know of a place reasonably near Louisburg NC that I can rent a rotary tiller for a day or two? Triad in Youngsville used to have one but it appears they don't anymore, and I have had bad luck so far finding any other options.

It's a bit overdue for maintenance (I'll be doing it in the next couple weeks) so I have a couple suspicions, but I'm wondering what you guys might think is going on. Best way I can describe it is that the normal HST "whine" recently is louder than I'm used to and it sounds like it's struggling...

My "driveway" - the area from my road to the garage entrance - is rather badly designed. The road is higher than the foundation so it slopes toward the house. As a result I get a lot of water pooling at the garage door and front of the house. The water is relatively easy to deal with - this...

With Starlink coming some time this year, I'm looking into VOIP service. Plenty of reviews online - but I wanted to see if any of you have any experiences with VOIP, good, bad, otherwise. My current Hughes service is VOIP, obviously, but I don't know yet if I'll want to keep it or go with...

I feel like I've asked this before but I can't find it. It looks like there are a fair number of you who do at least some welding, so any tips for someone who wants to start out, basically learning how to do it for little stuff around the shop/farm?

I'm putting this up for fun. I'll keep it going if there is interest. Background: This is a "mini-farm", many of you would probably consider it a large garden. I have 2 acres of clear land and about half is dedicated to the plants. I specialize in hot peppers - originally a good variety, but...

I've been advised to work my road only when it's dry. I've had to do some work when it's not completely dry and I can understand that advice. But my road is currently in great need of some work (lots of potholes and mud swamps getting worse) and with the weather around here it hasn't had a...

Just curious: what RPM do you use for what sort of tasks, and why? I'd say the PTO stuff is pretty clear, but what about for loading, scraping, plowing, etc - what RPM, what gear?

Have you ever had your tractor detailed, or done it yourself? Our neighbor has asked my son to detail their tractor in preparation to sell it - he's wondering what would be expected for him to do.

I'm looking at something to keep the brush and trees on the side of my road trimmed - right now I have to go out a few times every summer with a hedge trimmer to cut stuff back as it tries to wipe out any trace of my road. Half a mile on both sides of hedge trimming by hand is brutal. Right...

I'm guessing there's plenty of folk here who grow things :) I have some plants I've been growing inside - in a basement, with lighting and heat. They're pretty healthy overall, but I'm not having great luck with the fruit. No flowers on the tomato at all so far, and I would definitely expect...

Battery loses power over time. When this happens, car jumps ok and seems to run fine after starting. Disconnecting the battery while running, it stops after 2-3 seconds. Main suspicion is a bad alternator. I don't want to pull it and end up it's something else though - anything else I should...

I figure there might be people here who grow large fields of crops, so I'll throw this out there: Mine isnt' all that large, but I have two fields, one will be about 50'x120', the other about 50x50. I'm trying to work out the easiest and/or simplest (may not be the same) way to water them. I...

So I'm trying to figure out the approach to fixing a problem with my road eroding. I live about a mile off the pavement, with a dirt/gravel road that I maintain as the only access to my property. Last year, I had drainage put it that has helped prevent the big problems it used to have, with...

Wondering if anyone has any experience with this, and/or suggestions. I have a cultivator very much like this: I use it during the early part of the season to clear weeds between rows (obviously) - but next year I'm considering going with some form of drip irrigation system instead of...

The hitch on my 3301 drops right onto the hydraulic hose when the backhoe is attached. Also, following my dealer's suggestion, I plug the hose in to form a "loop" when it's disconnected, which leads to that hose also being hit. I'm concerned about wearing the hose through with this setup...

Are there any tips for what to do about regular and "daily" operating maintenance? I mean off-book, things not necessarily mentioned in the manual. For example, most of the time mine is pretty muddy after use, so I hose it off before parking so it's not sitting there caked with mud. Things like...

A bit happy: I got my 3301 on the Kubota finance program a couple years back. Sent a payoff for the balance earlier this month, as of yesterday it's posted and my balance is $0! Yay, it's all mine now!

I'm trying to remove the three-point hitch to attach my backhoe, but one of the pins seems to have gotten stuck - rust perhaps? I used some WD-40 rust release (much like liquid wrench) and managed to get it to move a little, but now I can't move it any farther. Brute force isn't working simply...

Hello, all - just found this forum while looking for info on my problem, hoping someone can help! The problem is: my L3301 (HST) won't crank. Power goes on but when I turn the key to start, nothing happens. No clicks, nothing. It stopped suddenly when I got off. I had the problem before and...
