    Mowing Kubota mower deck lift linkage won't align

    If you can find the OE manual for this BX 2660 and MMM, I'd follow the instructions. Is it possible that the PTO shaft is not the correct one for your set up? Good Luck, Mike

    Returning batteries for warranty claim

    May I jump in here and ask..............My truck (a 1999 F-250 5.4 SuperDuty) battery suddenly failed. It was wet on top when I removed it. I put a good battery in that read 12.8 volts. But when I started the engine I still got a "Battery" code on the dash and the dash volt meter was...

    Trailer wood deck treatment: Brush on used oil, linseed oil, sealer stain, unicorn tears...?

    Maybe the rotting and the replacing of deck boards has more to do with what one is "hauling" versus what preservative one uses. ...e.g. I used to go to the local quarry and purchase around 3 tons of gravel at a time for different projects around my place. The gravel was the cheapest...

    Tie Rod Boots

    I've been meaning to ask this question for a long time.....How come the manufacturer (Kubota in my case) never recommends greasing these tie rod connections in their OE manual maintenance directives? Cheers, Mike

    Recommendations for wood chipper for small material

    My experience started 15 years ago when I bought my first machine.....a MacKissic Mighty Mac SC1650HTE. It is a gas powered chipper/shredder that I tow around with my garden tractor. It has served me well for the small stuff.....generally shrub/brush trimmings...garden residue...windstorm...

    Woodchippers: PTO vs gasoline driven

    I don't have any experience with the Spitfire. But would still prefer my Woodland Mills WC68 even with only 19HP at the PTO.....bc of the hudraulic feed....the stop/reverse control. ..being a short (5'2") old man I think my WC68 is easier to feed. That's a tall young man in the video...
