    Ballast?

    Well, funny thing. The dealership was just sold to another owner. The mechanic just resigned and moved on, so nobody knows what's in my tires! I'll check the tires with the stems at the top and see what happens. Thanks guys.

    Ballast?

    I used my new L3301 hard by running a PTO generator during Hurricane Irma. I put 30 hours on it and just did a 50 hour service. When I checked the pressure in the rear tires, liquid squirted out. There was about 15 psi in the tires once I put the stems at 12:00. I didn't ask the dealer to...

    Average age of OTT users?

    51 on paper, but feel like 65 after cleaning up from Hurricane Irma.

    3 point PTO Generators

    I have a Winco P11PTOS. It is an 11k with 14k surge potential. It just got us through 2 1/2 days after Irma. I have it wired in through a transfer switch, so no troubles with the repair guys out there! It powers the A/C, well pumps, fridges/freezers, and lights with no issues. Like others...

    Hurricanes and Vacation Homes

    Holy cow! So much doom and gloom on Florida. It's a wonderful state with lots to offer those of us who like outdoor activities year round. That being said, we do have a few speed bumps once in a while! We did have some damage in the area, but we'll pull through. On a good note, my new...

    Titan Forks on SALE

    I ordered the QA pallet forks last week on sale. Probably one of the most useful attachments to have.

    Destin FL trip

    Sounds like a bunch of fun. We get a bunch of 4 and 5 footers from the beach over here on the Atlantic side. I've never had to cool the reel though!

    Working during break in period

    I just did almost the same when I mowed this morning. I alternated between 2k and 2.2k for the hour it took me to mow. Next time I mow, i'm going full PTO! Thanks for all the responses.

    Working during break in period

    Thanks for the advice. I rechecked the manual. It is very basic for the "Operating a new tractor" section. It says "do not operate at full speed for the first 50 hours", and "do not run the engine at speeds faster than necessary." Pretty open to interpretation.

    Rebate question

    I was able to make it happen on the 29th! Got a L3301 with FEL and the bigger rebates. Glad I pulled the plug then.

    Working during break in period

    I was able to purchase an L3301 and 525 FEL last month before the rebates got smaller. It was delivered a couple days ago with 0.7 hours on the tach! I've been having my kids drive the tractor around to build some time and break everything in. We're at a little over five hours at this point...

    Rebate question

    The present rebate offerings on the Kubota tractors expires the end of this month. Do you guys know if Kubota tends to extend those offers, do they get better, or just die until the next set of offers?

    New FEL or new tractor

    And the lack of a loader is what now gets me in this scenario!

    Funny thing

    I was just cruising around the OTT forums and had a pop up ad for Yanmar Tractors show up. Go figure!

    Toasty

    I thought we had it bad with the high 90s and humidity in the 90% plus range. We do have the same problems with the wildfires this time of year. I was in Phoenix in August 2015. It was about 114 at the time. I had to do some work on an airport tarmac for a couple of hours. The bottom of...

    New FEL or new tractor

    Thanks for the advice guys. The wife doesn't like the idea of having 2 tractors here at the same time! Trading will solve that, as well as save a little on the tax burden, which helps get closer to the difference in trade value vs. outright sale value. The other option is to sell the tractor...

    New FEL or new tractor

    Hi Guys. I'm new to OTT, but have been around tractors my whole life. I have a situation and need some genuine advice from someone other than my wife! I presently own a 2002 NH TC33D with 410 hours on it. I'm the original owner and it has been barn stored since new. This has been an...
