I have a Kubota L3000DT that has R1 (ag) tires. Daughter bought a 5 acre place that about 3 acres is rough pasture with a few locust trees on it. Putting grazing animals on it is not an option. Would swapping the R1's for R4's be a good option? If so, what size R4's does the L3000DT take...

If anybody has a set of turf tires and wheels for this tractor they want to sell, I'd like to hear from you. The sizes are 13.6-16 rear; 24x8.50-14 front. Thanks. you can email direct at cpurv69@yahoo.com if you prefer.

Don't ask me how because I don't know, but the computer became infected with what Symantec calls: W32.Kitro.A.Worm W32.Kitro.D.Worm I *think* this thing has caused a bunch of files to be generated in the Windows/Temp directory. Symantec says they're all quarrantined; not to worry. But why...

I've sworn off Wix, Baldwin, Donaldson, ....all of them. No More! Not for the Kubota, anyway. Why, you may ask? There is a gorgeous little redhead running the parts counter at my local Kubota dealership.

Thinking about declaring chemical warfare on crabgrass. The yard has more crabgrass than I find acceptable, and I have a fairly high tolerance for weeds. The neighbors' yards look to be oceans of the stuff and I don't want this to get completely out of hand. Anyway, I read a while back about...

Didn't want to put this under Parts and Repairs because it isn't tractor related. We have an old beater '93 Taurus, aka 'Archie'. Nearly everything has broken on Arch EXCEPT the air conditioner which, until this summer, always worked flawlessly. This summer, it barely emitted any cool air at...

Does anyone have access to a source for values of used equipment, in particular, Grasshopper mowers? I am looking at a 2004 928D Grasshopper with 61" deck and 1200 hours on the clock and don't have a clue as to what it's worth or what it cost new. Thanks.

Been reading about the new 6.4 Powerstroke. Talk about having to sift through the chaff to find the wheat...you can find everything from statements saying it is an International engine to it being a Ford designed and built engine. Also horror stories about having to remove the cab from the...

How many of you know what I'm talking about when I say there is something to be said for owning a high quality product. It seems that the quality of the product is, in and of itself, an attribute of considerable value although it usually doesn't affect whether or not the product functions...

Anyone familiar with the origins of the phrase "No man is a prophet in his own land"?

I posted this on a Chevy forum today, but there are some pretty smart people here, too. I apologize if this is not the correct forum.

Anyone an ME guru? I've got a dual boot system--two hard drives, one with XP, the other with ME. The drive with ME on it does not recognize the one with XP (which is good) so the ME boot system has been what I let the kids use. Problem: Ran Adaware and Spybot on the ME drive. Spybot ran OK...

If anybody is interested, I saw a 3130, 250 hours, GST, FEL, KK 5' brush hog, and 5' rear blade for sale. Asking price is $15k. I can supply the guy's phone number if interested. Location is 40 miles south of Kansas City.

Is anybody familiar with the 1/4 ton military trailers? I have one (M416) that came with my M151 jeep. It has served no purpose other than occupy shed space the entire time I've owned it. I have been hauling water to our semi-newly planted trees for the last 2 1/2 months using tap water...

It's aerating time again. Finally got the right conditions to aerate. I bought an aerator last fall and the grass went dormant before I could use it. It rained Thursday, and I thought Saturday would be OK because I didn't want to take off work Friday to aerate. Saturday came and the ground...
