Just got back from Logan steel, Logan Steel - Steel In All Forms I picked up a nice 3/8" 27" X 27" steel plate (63#) and some 2x2 tubing for my welding table, and some other tubing and I can not belive how quickly the weight adds up (total of 270 #), especially at $1.00/ pound! Sometimes I feel...

In case one did not see the tractor/construction equipment accident follow this link: YouTube - Tractor-Truck-Car CRASH VOL2 Makes you think about your safety when using your equipment.

I purchased this 30 gallon diesel caddy from Northerntool.com and added their 12 volt 5 gallon/ minute pump. With a little plumbing and a couple of three-quarter inch ball valves I can now transfer diesel from my 5 gallon containers into the caddy for filling or directly into the tractor. This...

Granted this is not the correct form for this post, but I don't know of another "global" site versus regional form to post this on. Anyway, I have been a TBN member for the past 10 months and posted numerous threads and one member who has replied to my postings turned out to be a neighbor of...

What Tractors in the "compact" classification have the ability for numerous attachments to be mounted to the tractor while a Mid Mount Mower is attached? Say I want to have a 4 point mounted backhoe (i.e., Woods or OEM, etc.) with the subframe attached at the same time that I would have a Mid...

Please see the attached ZIP file (an Adobe PDF of the original Powerpoint Presentation with photos for clarity) of the installation of the Kubota 40 amp alternator upgrade for a B7800 or B3030. Consider this my contribution to the TBN. The only way I can upload this is as a ZIP file. If one...

I occasionally have the need to remove a heavy object from the back of my pickup truck and I would like to use my tractor and back hoe (Kubota B7800 with a Woods BH-70X), versus the FEL. My question is: What is the proper wrapping technique of a chain around the bucket so assure a secure...

Found this video on You Tube, funny but true for all too many of us on TBN :D YouTube - Wish Upon a Kubota Pleasant dreams!

Did you watch the latest Mahindra video on the home page of TBN? What I like about this web site is, it truly is not biased towards one tractor or another. I like to feel the members and their feedback will give the best testimonials about a tractor and will receive very thorough feedback...

I see that Harbor Freight has their 12 volt grease gun on sale for $50. Comparing this to the Lincoln grease gun that sells for $160, I was wondering if anyone has owned/ used the HF gun and is it worth the money or should I continue to save? Here is the link to the Harbor freight grease gun...

I have some concrete I need to mix and pour, ~ 6 yards and I can not get a truck in due to my septic fields, so I was interested in the 3 pt cement mixers that are now available, see 3-Point Cement Mixer, with hydraulic cylinder and PTO shaft - The Smart Farmer, LLC. Nick has a unit he sells...

I have a B7800 with the RCK60-27B MMM and I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Kubota rear bagger and blower attachment. The unit is very expensive and before I dump the $$ I would like to get some feedback. Thank you, Dennis Bialecki

I was wondering if there is a direct replacement "alternator" kit to replace the factory dynamo that is standard on the Kubota B7800? Also, I see an after-market alternator that is available on eBay eBay: NEW ALTERNATOR FOR KUBOTA TRACTOR EXCAVATOR & MORE NEW (item 330107789551 end time...

I recently purchased a B7800 with a few attachments, see photos attached, only have a few hours on it, but loving it! Thanks to all of the members that helped answer many of my questions. Really enjoying TBN, lately I am not getting enough of work done at my job, seems like I am daydreaming too...
