    Heat Dome

    Our local TV station has had an "ALERT DAY!!" almost every day. Over the weekend an alert was issued and upon checking the details, found a slight chance of a thunderstorm. Their news is often something that would pass for an old Saturday Night Live skit. It isn't unusual to read something on...

    Wifey, Sweet Pea and I were shopping for some back to school clothes this afternoon. Sweet Pea was being even a bit more energetic than usual. Every 10 seconds there was something new that caught her eye. It was a constant "Mommy, Mommy can I have this? Mommy, Mommy I need a new backpack...

    Box or Grading Scraper?

    I have used scraper blades, York rakes and a few different DIY land plane types of implements for gravel driveways and parking areas. I briefly owned a box blade, but only used it for turning a cornfield into a yard. A land plane-ish implement is my first choice for leveling out gravel. The...

    Land Pride RFM (1672 Vs 2572) behind a B2650

    Land Pride quality has never been an issue in my experiences. I also have quite a few years of pulling Caroni RFM's. While i can't claim Caroni is equal to Land Pride they're pretty good. They are also much lighter than Land Pride. I've mentioned before that my Ford 1210 handles a 5' Caroni...

    How to remove air from L4310 fuel system

    That is the procedure I followed yesterday. Worked perfectly. The L4240 started immediately and didn't even run rough.

    Fair Price for cutting

    As mentioned, insurance is something to consider. My cost and coverage are dependent on whether I charge or not. I'd guess you're going to need a lot more than an hour with a 6 foot mower.

    Land Pride RFM (1672 Vs 2572) behind a B2650

    I expected to see a thicker deck on the 2572. They look remarkably the same on their respective spec pages. The 2572 gear box takes 3.5 pints of lube where the 1672 only takes 2.5 pints. The 1672 hitch is noted as being QH compatible. I've had LandPride 5 and 6 foot RFM's. The 6 footer...

    L3302 hot floor boards

    Assuming you have bare steel floorboards, probably normal. The HST and hydraulic lines get quite hot. , and if you don't have anything between the metal floor and you it'll get toasty.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Although it was hot early today it was time to pay some attention to a few things. Cleaned underside and sharpened the blades on the RFM and lubed it Blew out radiator, A/C coils and hydraulic oil cooler. Blew out the air filter elements. Replaced fuel filter. Couple of notes: For...

    My Big Lawn Mower!

    Very nice, happy for you! Funny you mentioned trimming. Just last evening the DeWalt 20V with the pole hedge trimmer made its rounds again.

    This Doesn’t Look Right!

    That O-ring was to keep paint out of the cylinder seal.. Served no purpose after the cylinder was painted.. Toss it.

    Any idea?

    It looks like you parked it on a spot that isn't level and the front axle pivoted slightly. When you say "this happened", what is "this"? The front axle won't bend. Is the wheel bent?

    Not familiar with what the "before" looked like.

    Grass rows, are very annoying how to avoid? Using the MMM.

    Since you already have the equipment, I'm not sure what you can do without changing something. I've had a couple rear discharge RFM's that distributed the clippings better and eliminated the rows. Back when I was using side discharge decks, there were a few times that the clippings were so bad...

    Kubota B3030 Air Conditioner

    IF it turns out to be unwanted flow through the heater core, check the routing of the existing heater lines. The parts diagram doesn't show a three-way valve for the heater. That leads me to believe you should be able to install one simple valve. When I built a cab for my L3200 I added a...

    finishing mower

    My pick has been a rear discharge rear finish mower for the last four tractors. The current mower is a 7-1/2' pulled with an L4240HSTC with filled rear tires. I always mow with the loader removed and it takes less than 1-1/2 hours to do our 3-1/2 acres. Some people prefer the mower to be...

    Is this to good to be true?

    Can't say anything about the validity, but Google came up with this: https://caseihagrictwoodburry.com/search/ Their L5740 is about half what I'd expect it to be. Strange stuff.
