    Stabil wins, hands down.

    I never said one way or another ... I'd suggest a couple of deep breaths . . .

    Stabil wins, hands down.

    Probably not accepting money from manufacturers, but more than likely from utube ... But Pri-G & D have been around for quite awhile, why exclude them ... Reminds me of a radio announcer for a Friday night fight ...

    Stabil wins, hands down.

    While I've endured a few of his video's, his "style" tone of voice doesn't suit me ... I only watched about the 1st 10 seconds or so of this video ... I still have 100% gas with Pri G in my bigger portable generator, Honda EM 6500 SX - a 7000 watt surge one, I do shut off the petcock and let it...

    Phone app to log/track maintenance for everything

    I always have what I need to "service" sitting at home, usually pick up the replacements prior to even doing the service ... While I use my phone on the road a lot, (typing this now) I'm not really a phone guy ... I'm a truck driver, it usually stays inside the truck for the 2-3 weeks I'm gone...

    Phone app to log/track maintenance for everything

    My 1st question is how does it know how many hours since last "service" to know when it's due? I use a excel spread sheet, where I also keep the service intervals ...

    How to check hydrolic level in l2501

    When you get it, don't be surprised that the little bottle is not full, it's not supposed to be. . . If it's dried up or pasty, just add some hydraulic fluid to it and stir, add the dye to your jug , then pour ... Wear gloves! :cool: My guess is "location" ... On my Massey Ferguson with the...

    Stabil wins, hands down.

    I use Pri-G in 100% gas ... No problems.

    Assessing water in hydraulic oil

    Water in a "freezable" form will probably add unhappiness if you go below freezing this winter ... I'm not sure of the operating temperature of a hydraulic system, but know if I touch a hydraulic line fitting or cylinder while working that item, it's "hot" to my hand ... Is it hot enough to...

    Carry All Platform as Ballast Box

    I forgot to add ... That it won't work with just regular lower arms, it needs the quick hitch to be able to reach in and "grab" the lower pins, which really is a single piece of either 3/4" or 1" black iron pipe ... I just used masking tape to hold the plywood in place, as once the concrete was...

    Hydraulic Oil Dye

    From my understanding ... The JD bottle is small and is not "full" they state 12 mil which I presume is "milliliters" I know it's a tiny amount, and half the jars are pasty ... A little does go a long ways but say it's for 5 gallons ... Lots of dealerships don't seem to even know about it, but...

    Carry All Platform as Ballast Box

    Please note - this was designed by me, for me, I'm a truck driver, not a designer ... Borrow whatever you want, if any ... Cost me less than $100 and time, I had the steel already kicking around ... My design was for the lower arms of my QH to fit into the recessed areas, to keep it as short...

    Hydraulic Oil Dye

    Just for notes sake ... The JD stuff is actually RED! If it is "pasty" when you open the tiny jar, don't throw it out, just add a little hydraulic fluid to it and stir ... ! It is only good for 5 gallons! I use the same brand stuff mentioned above, but I bought the 4oz size from ...

    Carry All Platform as Ballast Box

    Welcome, and let us help you lighten your wallet! :D Forks are handy! :cool: If you have forks, and a few pallets with different weights, or job related tools, it would be easy to "load" the carryall for whatever task you have ... I built my own ballast box, but usually have other things...

    Which tires for my MX: R14 or R4-TL2

    Here is a video of tire options ... The part number for the R14 front tire is a Radial tire, it will ride much better, and will do better in snow than the R4.

    My Big Lawn Mower!

    @S-G-R that's an interesting top link connection, I noticed mine popped up out of the top QH hook and folded back twice when mowing the other day ... I figured it really only needs to be in the hook if I want to raise the whole mower ... But thought I might put some kind of restraint to hold it...

    B2301 Model Recommendations

    The B is slightly longer (but about same width with taller tires) and heavier, for a little bit more lift capacity ... Going to a L2501/2 which is only slightly longer than a B, but quite a bit wider and heavier, is where you will find nearly double the lift capacity ...

    My Big Lawn Mower!

    I got to thinking last night just before falling asleep ... While I didn't spend nearly $20K on this "Big Lawnmower" to "save" money ... It does burn less fuel ... I took a picture of my dash before I started mowing yesterday, and after, as my memory isn't the greatest to keep track of the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Not really worth it for my situation ... I've got less than half a dozen more trees to "trim" ... The majority of my 16 acres is open fields ... Not only would I have to add a third function, but buy the actual grapple ... Probably $3-4,000 ... I can haul a lot of branches on the forks I already...
