    Post hole auger for M7060?

    "very rocky" could be problematic... can you describe more what you mean by rocky as this means different things to different people.? Shale, versus 1-3" stones, to 3' boulders all require much different advice. cheers and welcome

    L2900 - Radiator Shutter?

    the screens usually stand off from the rad a bit so when the screen gets covered with say chaff or fluff or whatever the fan is still able to push/pull air through the rad. It is OK to run without it but realize if operating where light fluff/chaff is present it will nest against the rad and...

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    I live very close to one of the large almost 1 million square foot plants plants in central Canada. A very large plant that makes some of their Versatile tractors that is now partnered up with Russians. Some of their senior staff are actually on US sanction lists due to ties with Putin. John...

    Guilty and Convicted of Kubota Abuse

    Well.... recent readings got me thinking so off to the shop i went. Now ultimately I pay for all the supplies in the shop but realistically cause I am old most of the stuff is bought by others and put on the maintenance shelves. I also have to admit I have Kubotas as well as JD's, and mixture...

    Broke pin BH-77

    I wouldn't want to try to use 1 side to help move alignment the other side. If me my solution would be to square and move if needed each side independently. Why.... I saw something similar a few years back that tried to move 2 pieces into alignment with a sudden/drastic movement of only 1 side...

    Looking for advices for installing cedar posts

    all I know is we live in a pretty high water table area with winter frost often down to 8 feet. for ever all builders have done around here is dig a hole (we are not rocky so its usually drilled) placing couple inches of gravel on the bottom for drainage, drop in a post (usually 8x8 laminated...

    Looking for advices for installing cedar posts

    why would sonotubes be used? around these parts when putting in post frame barns and storage sheds we simply make the hole, place the post and back fill with whatever is the commonly available bedding stone. Stone (gravel) is easy, cheap, sets well, makes for great drainage and best of all...

    Kubota L3200 4WD abuse on paved roads

    that was my first thought as well. no info on who / where it was purchased but conceivable to think old owner may have swapped out and kept the really nice / almost new for the used / worn ones when it was sold onto the OP. inspect the wheel nuts to see if maybe they were swapped out or paint...

    New Kubota L3302DT stalling

    as others have said PLUS what throttle setting (rpm) at time of startup and at time of going fwd/reverse are you using? at dead slow on the throttle can cause similar type of starting and directional changing problems you mention. Especially when cold If you are trying to start or when...

    Clutch fan on cabbed Canadian lx series tractors

    I often operate at -30 temps. I like to pull my radiator net when it gets sub 15 or so (the screen in front of the rad that catches field chaff etc... and keeps it out of the rad) and I slide in a piece of smooth galv. tin the exact same size in its place that has a hole cut in the centre about...

    question about crankcase dipstick oil level BX23D

    in grade school for diesels we were taught to prefill our filters and measure total oil out in the drain pans. So if this is still the case then 2.6l in the crankcase PLUS the oil to prefill the filter so maybe 3litres total?? regardless I always measure my oil out when I change oil on the...

    Diesel storage / shelf life.

    nice tank. I have an opinion but who really cares. what I do have is an observation. Around our farm county it appears many are suffering from the GREEN SNOT problem. Water filters / fuel filters are experiencing a build up of restrictive stuff we call thick / green snot. Our morning cafe...

    How do I NOT Break This??

    filter wrench is a good idea. lots of different designs. I use a large set of channel lock pliers if a rag and hand doesn't do it. I take mine off yearly (regular maintenance) so hand and rag works fine. I never have any water but find more and more every year the metal screen stops the heavy...
