    A simple attachment for direct burial cable?

    You want it for Cat 5 just under the grass? Pressure washer. Or Chain saw. Or Flat blade hand shovel and a 14 year old. https://youtube.com/shorts/du-MoYZR8As?feature=shared

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Looks like mouse piss. Literally. Mice pee always as they crawl around and it sticks to the horizontal parts. Hit it with a disenfectant like OdoBan our Lysol and see if it comes off. JUST Spray it, wait a couple minutes and try to wipe it off. AND Wear gloves. If it comes off, it is...

    Brittle Fender

    303 Aerospace protectant is your friend. If you buy new fender(s), 303 it at least 1x a year. I have a 2003 ATV with good plastics - body panels and fenders.. It is 22 y/o. If you park it outside in hot sun all the time. Forget about it. Or try 303 every month.

    Will an L3560 w/ BH77 fit in my garage without drama?

    Add ons: Backhoes are 10 grand add on. Add a cab? Another 10 grand. Front snow blower? Again... 10 grand. If you want a simpler basic tractor with a loader. Much, much, cheaper. You could buy a well equiped MX open station with a loader and a box blade, for less $ than B or LX with a...

    Will an L3560 w/ BH77 fit in my garage without drama?

    Just go look at and drive them, if you haven't done so. Garage size is usually secondary to the job intended. But with some; it is first. If you are a 1st time tractor owner and have a big wallet, the Grand L was made for you. Made exactly for you. Kubota did it's homework on affluent small...

    It didnt rain today

    We must getting everyone's portion in NW Wisconsin. Rainiest summer in 10 plus years. Haven't gone 2 days straight without storms. Until this week. Finally, the rain is calming down. No rain yesterday, no rain today, no rain on the forecast tomorrow. Maybe I can mow tomorrow. But the...

    Will an L3560 w/ BH77 fit in my garage without drama?

    I think @hedgerow nailed it. Get a big MX and if it fits in your garage... That IS the one. As for going thru the process of fitting the BH in your garage daily is an issue, don't do it all the time. If you are going to be using it for several days, leave it parked outside. And when you...

    Will an L3560 w/ BH77 fit in my garage without drama?

    Get the tractor you need and modify your garage door. No drama, just money to alter the door.

    Does it matter what brand box scraper/box blade I get for my BX23S?

    Very True. For leveling... The land plane is great for driveways. Long, straight, linear. A box scraper is good, for situations where you can drag it from 360 degrees over the area. You normally can't do that with a driveway. But a box scraper IS more useful overall. 2 or 3 posts in...

    Does it matter what brand box scraper/box blade I get for my BX23S?

    Quick hitches are for lazy farmers. I'd say... Buy an off-brand QH from the same place that you are getting the box scraper from. If you really want a QH. Cheaper than Land Pride.

    Hagrid, the #1 OTT Jokester. He's just messing with you. But you probably figured that out.

    Does it matter what brand box scraper/box blade I get for my BX23S?

    I would cancel the order for the Land Pride First, if you ordered it and / or paid for it. As far as box scrapers go: With your BX23S I don't think you could go wrong with any brand. They are about as complicated as a box of rocks. They are a box for rocks. Does anyone remember that story...

    2002 Ford E350 hood stuck closed - HELP!

    On my wife's Dodge, about twice a year I pull the lever to release the parking brake and the hood goes "boing" and pops up a few inches. I calmly get out of the car and act like I am looking at something under the hood if people are around. My excuse; It's not my daily driver. That. And I miss...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Thank you. I hope that you are right. I think I saw the spring retainer still on the rod It looks as though the boot is not torn. I am going to look deeper into it today. May be a quick fix. I don't know. It looks like I need to remove the armor shroud to get to it. After a long day...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Found this today after moving dirt to backfill an erosion spot by the driveway... This failure is unacceptable IMO. Steering tie rod boot. 3 year old LX2610 that I am guessing is out of warranty. Might try the inner tube fix that I found here on OTT.

    2023 LX3310 3 point hitch operating range.

    My LX2610 has a similar issue. (Same tractor but you have the bigger engine or bigger carburation). My 3 point didn't start lifting until about indicated 4 and then makes a whining sound at level 8. So I Lift it to level 8 and then move it towards level 7 to until the whining sound stops. I...

    B7100 random knowledge.

    Thank you for sharing. Nice work. I hate to break out the bad news.... Today, it is called quick attach. The B7100 era didn't have it. I know, I lived it, the B7100, in the 70's and 80's. Skid steer (Bobcat) equipment made it famous and it is available everywhere now. I literally swapped...

    Sponge Air Filter for Log Splitter

    Well the sponge didn't show any negative issues with oil saturation. I found mouse poop and urine stains in the airbox and carb, as well as some acorn shells. Ugh!!! I pulled and cleaned up the airbox and the carb, as mice had crawled into both. It didn't appear that they got past the choke...
