    or when the powers to be decide to take a kinder / gentler / sanctuary approach is desired and not prosecute it APPEARS official crime stats is going down when in reality on the ground it is going up. that is what is happening around here. Enforcement is dropping so indexes going down (and...

    Kubota M110 GXII does not go forward only reverse error code E-R44.Thanks in advance for the answers!

    have you changed the trans fluid or filters lately? that error code is often associated with the master hydro switch not working as its supposed to or the hydro pressure being too low. PLugged filters / low fluids would be my first check. gets more complicated after that

    So what would you tell your grand kids?

    update: she saw a squirrel run across the woodpile and quickly forgot the question. Problem averted .... ahhh ... the mind of a child. btw.... the wife's crispy panned fried chicken was exceptionally good that day.

    Pdf regen on l3901

    Its about normal given your decision to only run at 1800 rpm per statement below. Why do you want to operate rpm's below designed operating range? Run it a little hotter (2,100) and your duration between regens will go up and in the long run your diesel will thank you. Also could switch to...

    So what would you tell your grand kids?

    If your young grand daughter comes over after school for lunch and looks you in the eye and asks why do I grow baby chicks, lambs, calfs and weanlings and then eat them but not puppies or kittens, what is a person to say??

    PTO driven 3-point circular saw attachment.

    post WWII every farm in our area was getting tractors and buzz saws were one of the first non crop implements people would make / trade for / or buy. Very common around here and can still find them rusting away in the bush lines. We live in a forested area and used the saws not only for putting...

    Who would have thought??

    our vice is distilled corn. But me thinks more evaporates over time than that we actually drink.

    Who would have thought??

    I'm going to disagree with this and tell you a story. When I go to town its more than a hour drive one way so I almost always load up a dog or two in the back seat for companionship and give them some excitement and when in town I like to grab a sub sandwich. I eat in the truck as I have the...

    Who would have thought??

    Back in January of last year, in British Columbia (A Canadian province much like a US State) decided to decriminalize possession and use of less than 2.5 grams of cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, and opioids like fentanyl, etc... Basically carry and use in most public places with fear of being...

    Tractor stuck in a failed shop.

    I am also from Canada. Normally all you would have to do is be a little patient, keep on them, and be able to show some reasonable type of proof of ownership / connection. Those now in control do not want to release private property to the wrong person. That would create a huge legal mess for...

    L3302 what size box blade and rotary cutter?

    gotcha... here is a free pdf download from Kubota. Kubota USA recommends 52" max width for box blade but we know lots of people like to outguess the engineers or push limitations of design. But thats how stuff breaks IMHO...

    L3302 what size box blade and rotary cutter?

    check out about page 30 of your operators manual. of course much comes into play like commercial/homeowners use, type of soil, type of brush, etc..... but the Kubota Op. Manual will likely have you conclude these sizes are to large.

    Front mounted ball hitch

    agree.... 500# tongue means maybe 5,000 pounds of trailer? From my experience with a L3301 I wouldn't do a trailer in this weight range with my fork mounted set-up with ball on end of fork. Now a 2" receiver mounted welded to the ssqa frame of say a fork set-up would be whole other story. I...

    Hydraulic fluid change?

    my concern is only guessing if we do not know the moisture content of the fluid. lets say 100 hours of use if all 1 minute in duration is 6,000 starts/stops so no chance of building adequate temp to "burn off" the moisture. Without a moisture test I would be afraid to make a guess whether a...

    2019 B2650 rototilling and shut off when I hit a rock

    I have had similar happen to me about 1/2 dozen or so times over the years but a little different. When snow blowing sometimes a frozen chunk of ice, frozen piglet or other critter that either didnt make it or ended up where it wasn't supposed to be, chunk of wood, rock or whatever jets jammed...
