    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Ended up tilling 3 fields on Wednesday and dragging them Thursday, that’s about best I could do with equipment I have. They’ve asked if I’ll till in more dust if they can get it this year, not sure I’m in for that after spending 2 days chiseling caked dust from tiller. Pry bar and mall worked...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Took the BH92 off and installed the 3PH stuff. Kind of a PITA but I only do it 1X a year. Heading out tomorrow to rototill 3 softball infields. Weeds took over and I’ve had good luck with beaches so I was asked to try on infields. Adjusted tiller shoes to shallowest dig, marked any buried base...

    Getting Old and Back Issues

    A couple things help me manage my sciatica. Moved my wallet to my front pocket, amazing how that helped. Walk 30 minutes a day on treadmill. Oh, my wife’s a retired massage therapist and a good glute and upper leg massage on the pain side is amazing! When she was actively working most of our...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Remove the old hot tub day! Kind of crowded with gazebo and deck built on two sides of it + decorative fence. Sure do like having the BH92 and thumb (please don’t hate me 😳) was able to break off pieces and pull the tub away from deck so I can remove sides. Wish I could have gotten the dump...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    What I really like about this site is all the knowledge and if someone sees something wrong in your post, they respectfully let you know (well maybe @SidecarFlip was an exception). Thanks @lynnmor for questioning the bolt length in post 19,502. I got ahold of parts schematic and used sharpie to...

    Small beach maintenance machine?

    Get a tiller and use that. I do a beach for neighbors every year and they are very satisfied with the results.

    Buying a Kubota

    Oh you’re going to get all kinds of questions 😱 Let’s start with - are you sure you want a belly mower? If you want to lift and move 1,000 lbs comfortably I don’t think you’ll find a machine that would include a belly mower. Maybe a large B series or an L series? Those with applicable...

    If your dog wants to see what's going on

    He passed away last December 16th and I sure miss his “interference” in all my projects :)

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    OEM calls for same bolts both sides and this side has an extra piece in it. They protrude on the other side so I’m assuming it was a cost consideration to use them for either side?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    So every year I check torque on BH subframe before installing the BH92. This year (I’m really late) I stripped a bolt just like last year, like WTF 😬. The Mrs says did you check the manual? Yes, please get me a beer (note to self - dumb request!). I pull up the WSM and the torque says 275lbs...

    BH92 creaking noise when moving the boom left to right not in and out

    Yep I videotaped the motion and sound and emailed to dealer. I figured that way it was on record.

    BH92 creaking noise when moving the boom left to right not in and out

    Mine did that new too, it was the pivot wasn’t getting enough grease. Do like RWS said and it should take it. Next I’d try one of those zerk cleaners with WD40. I’ve had good luck clearing zerks, just tap on the end though, if you clobber it you may create trouble.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    That is pretty cool. We’re 20 minutes from Lake Michigan but I’m not sure what they use to clean and condition the beaches we visit.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Neighbors wanted their beach tilled again this year, gets me a case of beer so I’m in. I really like this time of year because I take the FEL off to work drives, rototill and drag. The ole K handles like completely different machine and front visibility is amazing. I’ll have to put it back on...

    Does a Rear Blade Exist that Does All This?

    I have the LP RBT 3584 set up all manual. It does all of that and is a pretty heavy blade. My wheels are set at 6 foot and it barely covers so if you don’t want to offset make sure to go wider than you need. https://youtube.com/shorts/LiVHCJ8WUWA?si=30ILk8OyREuC-cWj

    Homestead 84" Land Plane - Pinacle

    I’ve had the Landpride 2584 (7’) for several years. Other than breaking some scarifier tips it’s been flawless. I think it weighs over 800 lbs. I’d recommend it!

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Oh you’ll get good use of that. I used mine for about 3 hours today doing driveway and access road to river boat landing site. I brought the stone up from sides with back blade last fall but never got the final touches done. This unusual weather here in SW MI has allowed me to get a jump on...

    Side Hustles / Hobby Business

    Alot! Actually we bought 12 of those for $399 each from Baileys Discount Center in North Judson IN. He buys them damaged by the semi load from all over the country so you should call to make sure he has some in stock. You can pick thru the ones you want, they are very helpful. She took 8 for...
