    Enough Power for 5' Finish Mower?

    5 horsepower per foot of cutter is what my Kubota dealer uses as rule of thumb on implements.....I don`t see that 5` finisher bogging down your tractor that much. Is the tractor blowing smoke ? tranny in four low ? Does it bog your tractor down by just engaging the pto and mower lifted not...

    What do I use to cover grass seed?

    here in South Louisiana I broadcast my rye grass seed and then do a medium height bushhog cut. It shakes the seed to the ground and covers with dying grass ...Holds the moisture really nice. Makes for a nice stand of rye grass.

    Front End Loader Not Level

    While looking at the front of my new M7040 I noticed the FEL bucket is not level compared to the front grill on the tractor. I have not dug much dirt with it as of yet so its hard to tell if it is digging deeper on one side. I have checked the tire pressure in the rear tires and have set the the...

    Dropped Blade

    Glad no one was hurt. I have this same blade , bearing cover and bolt on my Kubota zero turn, just on a smaller scale. I never have thought of torquing the blade bolt but I never thought I`d see a bolt sheared either. I would think this happened from over torquing.

    Stupid Mistake

    Hate to hear that WFM, I just purchased a new M7040 and it has the new QC on my FEL. I am a little concerned about back dragging my bucket , I don`t see enough iron to maybe prevent this from happening to me. I have already bent one of my forks down 6 inches due to the fork digging in the dirt...

    3pt reciever hitch w/top ball And grab hook

    I built one just like it except for the receiver hitch, welded reinforced tab to mount ball on to keep weight closer to the tractor....I learned one thing, when pulling a brand new gooseneck stock trailer on the top gooseneck ball, please beware of uneven ground like dips or small ditch because...

    Radio install

    After pricing a Kubota factory radio from 2 different dealers, it was recommended I use the audio shop favored by the second dealer because this audio shop actually installed aftermarket radios in all his tractors. I took his advice and purchased the Kenwood model#KDC-255U for $130 tax,title &...
