    HST vs. gear drive for various types of work.

    My yard is sloping uneven terrain with some banks of 40deg. I mow it with a rotary cutter and would never attempt to mow the banks with my Ford 2000. Mowing with HST is a dream imo and Id never want to do it again with a shifter. Backing the cutter up the bank is no problem. I have to be in L...

    Binders and Chains or Ratchet Straps

    I used chains and binders once on my MX5100. It was solidly secure, but I didn’t like the paint chipping. Second trip I used 3” straps. The tractor didn’t move and there was no paint chipping. Ratchet straps were, quicker, easier and lighter. For me the only downside is spooling and securing...

    Anyone know of / bought from Catawba Attachments?

    I would add that I have extreme stress tested the Homestead 55 grapple and it’s passed unscathed. The Veteran discount is 10% opposed to 5. Delivered to your door for less. The 55” is 300lbs. It’s way easier to use than my fork grapple. 2157.12 delivered to my house with the 10% discount.

    What is this switch for?

    What is this switch for?

    Hi Kubota brothers, A few weeks ago I found this switch tucked under my loader control. I turned it on and off and it didn’t do anything, so I tracked it to this. What do you reckon it was for? I bought this machine used and the best I can tell is it was used for snow removal, because of the...

    How much for new loader pins?

    I blame the dealership that I bought it from. I requested service before delivery and they at least hit the convenient zerks, but obviously ignored the missing and clogged zerk.

    How much for new loader pins?

    I cleaned one and cleared the grease tunnel, so it’s functioning properly. It was a ckskr to reinstall so I’ll assume it’s not to loose. Thanks all for the suggestion. At least $15 saved so far. On the second one I will try ez out. I can’t imagine it’s supposed to have a zerk thread diameter...

    How much for new loader pins?

    I was greasing the loader today and discovered a missing zerk and one zerk didn’t take grease. I put in a new zerk and still wouldn’t take grease. I couldn’t get a zerk to grab in the other pin. The hole is too small, but I can’t tell if the previous one broke off. what do new pins cost...
