I own a Kubota GR2100 garden tractor that I've owned for about 5 years. Lately I've been having to spend about $400 in repairs every 6 months or so. I thought Kubota was a very reliable brand that needed little repair and I certainly spent a lot of money on this machine. What kind of repair...

I wonder if anyone else has had this problem. After I've been mowing for several hours, without any warning, the motor revolutions start going down slowly until the motor totally stops. Electrically, the Toolcat is still turned on, with indicator lights on and the aux hydraulics light still...

Does anybody know of an after market product that would block the side discharge on the mower deck of the Kubota GR2100? I used the mulching kit for a long time so didn't realize what a pain it is to have the side discharge throwing clippings where I didn't want them. I know that I could just...

Sorry, posted to wrong section.

What do you all think about whether something like this would work on the Toolcat and how well? Easy Dig Mini Backhoe I remember there's been some question about using a hydraulic unit but wondered if this was low tech enough to work. I know that you're not going to be tearing out any tree...

Could someone post a photo of the Hose Guide Kit option installed on the Toolcat? I ordered that option but I haven't seen it before. I'd like some confirmation that it was installed correctly.

I have a soil conditioner that I want to use to do some leveling and it seems to me that it would work best when being pulled so that the tires are riding over the soil that's already been leveled. Normally that would require running the Toolcat in reverse with the conditioner mounted on the...

I had a chance to try out the 5610 I'm buying at the dealership and I have a couple of questions about how it runs. This unit is not new. It was a demo that they used at shows and training around the country. It's a year old and has about 150 hours. When I started driving it from where it...

Does anybody have the Pat's Easy Change on the 3-PT hitch for the 5610? I prefer this quick change over others because the top link is independent so no conflict if the height of the top link varies in the attachments. But since the 3-pt hitch on the 5610 isn't as strong as a regular...

At the maximum extension, how long is top link on your 3-pt hitch? I want to install a hydraulic link that's long enough to work with the Pat's Easy Change which adds about 4 inches to the lower links. I figure that the top link that comes with the 5610 is the proper length for the lower...

The attachment control kit that comes with the 5610 is a 7-pin connector but the soil conditioner that I have has a 14-pin connector. Is there a way around this?

Well, I've settled on what I will get quoted for the 5610. You can see the reason for my sticker shock. We'll see what the dealer can do. Not a lot of choices left after you have to pick the deluxe version, but here they are: 5610 Utility - $50,964 Deluxe Version Includes: Cab with A/C and...

How feasible would it be to install a hydraulic upper link on the 3-pt hitch and have a control for it both in the cab and also at the hitch outside? I'm thinking that it's awfully convenient to be able the adjust the length with the hydraulics while you're attaching an implement. With a...

I'm working through the options on the 5610. It looks like you still have to order the Deluxe version, which includes as part of the Deluxe Road Package a "lower engine guard". Is this the same as the "Lower Debris Guard" option or the "Lower Engine Cover" option? The words don't quite match...

I'm thinking about getting a 5610 but I just found out that the Ocala dealer, where I bought my 5600, no longer has a contract with Bobcat to sell the Toolcat. I may have to go to Orlando which is twice as far away, two hours instead of one. The Ocala dealer was telling me that if they had one...
