I would think ambient temperature may be a factor in the life of a battery. Being as you are in a warmer climate your battery will not see the extreme below 0 temperatures my battery sees and the extra stress on the battery when starting a tractor with oil temps below 0. I'll check back it I get...

Going on 14 years on original battery. I keep it on a maintenance charger all of the time. Well not all the time, I unplug it when I'm using the tractor, I don't have a long enough extension cord.

I made an intermittent wiper circuit using NE555. That must have been 40 years ago!

Hope this works for you but I agree with one of the post for a work bench mount for the reasons mentioned, and also I find when I want to clamp something in the vice and bend it having a bench mount attachment works. No matter how hard I pull I can't move my bench but could move a tire rim 😊...

It is not the lever that is jerky, lever movement is smooth. but if I lift the lever a bit at a time to get to the desired height it is very jerky to the point where the tractor will bounce up and down.

Full disclosure this is related to a Kioti, not Kubota. I recently purchased this tractor for a second property I own. Not as refined as my dream K tractor, but it does what I need it to do and came with the implements I needed and at a cost I could afford. Anyway, to my point, if I lift the...

Your lucky! Hopefully you will never have to, but I admitted to myself that after seeing that puddle, that at 800 hours the seal needed to be replaced. Checked a couple of dealers and one of them was able to do the job without removing the cab. Saved me quite a bit in labor.

Thank you! I will try to figure out how to post some pictures. Tractor is a 2024 Kioti CK3520SE Cab. I've been looking for something used for a several months, hoping for a Kubota, but nothing showed up for what I was looking for at my price range. This Kioti was available with a price l was...

Well, I purchased a second tractor to use at my new place up north. It's orange but not a Kubota, sorry. It came with a 72" Pronovost Puma Inverted snowblower, and after using it several times lately with all the weekly storms we've been having lately (8-12") this thing has worked great! The...

Is this AI? This time of year, I would expect you moving snow not dirt!!!

10 degrees and another foot of snow, I also have no idea what's going on!

Or maybe the added weight of the chains made all the difference ;)

Also agree it is probably the best for snowblowing. However it is the worst FEL ☹

I keep my scraper blade on the back. I know the weight doesn't amount to anything and more weight would help, but I use it in addition to the front mount snowblower.

Do you mean the R14's? They look like a big improvements over the R4, but some say they wear quicker.

Good to know thanks! But I was also concerned about the side slip, would adding front to back grooves help this without compromising the forward traction as you mentioned?

I should have added to my #6 post I only grooved the tires laterally and I can see where the groves fill up with snow. Once it warms up (June???) I plan on adding front to back grooves to hopefully help clean out the lateral grooves and also add less slide slip of the tractor.

Check and see if my keys and glasses are there too. Thanks

I have R4's on my tractor and have a short, a bit steep incline that I have to go up to get to my barn. Unless the snow is light and fluffy I can't get enough traction to get up there. I grooved my tires and that helped some. My last tractor had R1 tires and never had a problem unless it was icy.

Totally agree with your comments. It will be used for a second property so whatever tractor I end up with, it will live a relatively easy life, snow blowing and mowing. It won't do any heavy lifting and won't need a backhoe or any other implements. If I do need more tractor at any point I could...
