    Custom reverse HST pedal?

    I'm not a big fan of the heel/toe forward and reverse pedal layout on my B series. Anyone heard of making a custom pedal that will be side by side like a JD layout?

    Hydraulic fittings are driving me crazy!

    On a NPT male thread when looking at the end of it, some are cut flat and others are cut with an inward bevel. How do you know if the bevel is going to be on a given fitting if ordering online or over the phone? Some of the fittings I need show a picture from the other end of the fitting:mad: Is...

    Fair price for welding work?

    I called a friend's brother who I know, but not real well. I told him what I wanted to weld up and he said he would do it for whatever I felt like was fair, since I was a friend of the family. I've never had welding work done, so I don't have a clue what would be fair. Here is what I asked him...

    Looking for bucket reinforcement advice for grapple

    Finally got my grapple. It is built much heavier than I expected. The base mounting plate is 1" thick x 3" wide. The top edge on my bucket is 1/8" thick:eek: Obviously this will look like a gorilla riding a chicken.... So, I certainly need to do some work to the bucket to prepare it for mounting...

    Loader valve double acting segment, what for?

    I discovered recently, while reading my manual(imagine that), that the loader valve is double acting 2 segment valve. In the bucket dump position(moving the lever to the right) dumps the bucket, if you push the lever further right you hit a detent and the bucket dumps real slow at a fixed pace...

    This is why I got a tractor!

    Clearing, removing, cleaning and staging old and new lumber to a condensed location for easy removal. Sorry bout the JD wagon....it works nice w/ the BH. I attach it to the step, with the boom swung over. The thumb works very well for grabbing logs. I have become quite competent sitting forward...

    Adding rear remotes to a 2620

    I ordered this rear remote kit when I bought my tractor. It is a Kubota factory part, but it may not be made by Kubota. The instructions state that it is not compatible with the BH 65 backhoe, but were gonna make it work anyhow.:) Seriously, I have talked to my serviceman and he says that he has...

    Just added work lights on a 2620

    Hi all, thought I'd share my work lights that I just completed. They are hella optilux, found them on amazon.com. I used the 20 amp work light circuit that is under the right rear fender to power them. I added a small waterproof rocker switch to turn them on/off ( I used a link in another work...

    Need some help with remote valves

    Hi, I am a new tractor owner and honestly don't know a lot about hydraulics. I have a Kubota 2620 with a FEL and a BH. I purchased a rear remote kit that I planned on adding myself(just cause I like to tinker) for running a grapple on the front bucket. After looking at the instructions for the...

    Breaking in a new tractor

    I've always been fairly respectful of break in procedures on other items I've had in the past......motorcycles for example. I read the manual in its entirety and have came to the conclusion if I follow the break in procedures properly then I cannot use the tractor for the purpose I bought it...

    Do I need reinforcement for "the thumb"

    I've been looking at different grapples and I like The Thumb. The top edge of my bucket(50" LA354) appears to be to thin to handle this under loads imo. What kinds of solutions would be in order? Or will it be ok as is? Joel

    Hydrostat+FEL & BH don't mix??

    I'm new here and have been posting in the buying forum as I'm looking to get my first tractor. Anyhow, a friend who has a New Holland 25 hydro calls me tonight and tells me he talked to one of his friends who "knows tractors" and this friend does not recommend a compact with hydro if your going...
