I bought a commercial Cyclone Rake this fall and have used it for three days, about six hour days and it did everything the company said it would. I have tried many ways to take care of my leaves and this is by far the best. A good friend of mine bought one after seeing mine. I have a Bobcat...

Been looking to purchase a round head (stick) framing nail gun. Have narrowed my choices to either a Porter Cable or a Bostich. There is only twenty dollars difference. Is there much difference in their quality? Which would you buy? Will be only for ocassional use (building pole barns...

Need a little help/advice regarding the right lifting rod on my B2910. The manual says it is "Ratchet Type" and that you press the up and down changing lever, and turn the adjusting handle from side to side to shorten or lengthen the rod with the the implement on the ground. When I do that...

220 volts/230 volts/ 240 volts: What\'s the diff? Other than the obvious (a difference of 10 or 20 volts), what exactly is the difference when a piece of equipment is rated at 220 volts vs. 230 volts, or 240 volts? The reason I am asking is that I placed an order for a Millermatic 175 mig...

Thanks to many of you, I now will not be spending my Monday nights at home. Some time ago, I began reading about what some of you were doing in terms of modifications to your tractors/attachments, and the benefit of being able to weld. I can remember when Harv began asking his initial...

Just want to say thanks to all the guys who post the safety reminders/information. I have had my Kubota for 2 and 1/2 years and have had no accidents or close calls. Prior to purchasing my tractor I had no experience on any tractors and, quite frankly, was somewhat intimidated. But, thanks to...

This weekend, I purchased a Bush Hog RT62 Tiller for my B2910. I thought that I would look into a back blade while I was there. But, before I left I decided to research this fourm regarding backblades. I did a search and my choice of a Tufline was affirmed. However, many of you said you had...

Would like some opinions from you guys. Here's the situation: Fourteen years ago my wife and I bought this place (on eleven acres) from a young widow who's mother-in-law gave her son the land before he was killed. The mother-in-law continued to own the remaining 30 acres until her death a few...

This weekend I completed the 50 hour service on my 2910. Prior to the servicing, I noticed there was some roughness (jerkiness) on the loader hydraulics when I would raise the loader (the bucket curl was -and still is - very smooth. Initially, the loader lifting was very smooth also. I...

Have any of you guys encountered this? Yesterday, I went to fill up my five gallon diesel can with off-road diesel fuel. I have done this about four previous times (have only 50 hours on my one year old 2910). The attendent wouldn't sell it to me unless I purchased twenty-six gallons. She...

I've been reading on various forums how many of you guys use a pressure washer for numerous tasks (i.e. washing the tractor, washing implements, etc.). I am convinced I need to purchase one, but know very little about them, in terms of what to look for (psi, gpm, different types of pumps...

Sitting here crying. My three month old (two payments made) 2910HST is sitting in the shed with seven hours on the meter, while I sit here dreaming of having fun on it. Right after I got it, I noticed a couple hydraulic leaks on the FEL hoses. Dealer gave me a couple new hoses to put on in...

Been looking at various landscape rakes and wonder how usefule they might be in helping me clean up a wood lot. I've been cutting brush, mostly removing anything less than 4 inches. Would like to go in and clean up smaller debris that is on the ground. I've seen where the landscape rake...

Thanks to you guys for your knowledge, expertise, and willingness to share both! I am a "newbe" to tractors and tractor ownership, and you have helped me make a most educated decision in the selection of a new Kubota. For four or five years my wife has had to listen to me express my...
