Have you developed that \"seat of the pants\" HST Have you developed that "seat of the pants" HST control with your tractor? You will know what I am talking about if you have. It's difficult to descriibe but exceptionally valuable when mowing over rough terrain. I have certainly picked it up...

You might find this site interesting Chevron "diesel fuels technical review" I found it via TractorSmart. There is much great information at TractorSmart especially for folks with Kubota tractors.

I have decided a tiller from CCM is the way to go after emailing Mark Carter. They have a 66" tiller or a 72" tiller. I have a Kubota L3830 with HST. Any folks with tillers able to comment on the ability of this relatively small tractor (31 PTO HP) ability to run this width of tiller. The 72"...

Do any of you have a comment about the various brands of wheeled string trimmers made. The situation is this. The DR Trimmer we use had a Tecumseh engine, I think it was 5 or 6 HP. Yesterday it got way to hot and seized the rings or ate an exhaust valve. I removed it and anticipate replacing it...

Normally I would not care but tomorrow is my little kids 2 year old birthday party. A stinkin swarm of bees landed in our fruitless mulberry and decided to coat a branch with about 6 inch thick layer of bees all around for a foot or more. Whats going on. Are they going to stay or move on. I know...

Rather then climb on the tire and over the loader with a 6 gallon container of diesel (about 48lbs), spill a little here and there, getting it on my hands, holding it until it empties, draining most of the strength from my outstretched arms and feeling my back tighten I decided to bite the...

One thing I found out about the L30 HST's. The use of independent braking or differential braking is nearly impossible with the left foot trying to crossover and apply some hydro pressure while the right applies pedal to the left or right brake or vice versa with the left being the brake foot...

I am curious about a reverse rotation tiller. Can you tell me what disadvantage there would be to having one over a standard rotation? I was pretty set on a Kuhn EL 42/155 but after speaking to a Kuhn/Landpride dealer, he suggested I also take a look at a Landpride RTR20 or RTR25 series. He...

I put my order in for a Kubota L3830 HST with TnT and LA 723 loader with HD bucket. Still debating on the R3's vs R4's. Financing is 0.00% from Kubota for 36 months. I decided on the Kubota for several reasons. After checking out JD's 4410 and 4310, which are both nice tractors and then NH's...

Tires? Are R3\'s OK for loader use? Was wondering if any of you have R3's or Turf tires on your tractor and use them with a loader. If so, do they take the loaded bucket OK? The R4's I had were virtually bullet proof for loader work where the R1's on another tractor tended to get pretty flat...

Well I finally put an ad in the paper for my L48. My plan is to drop down to a tractor with a removeable loader. I thought I could get away mowing my hills and around my 100 plus sprinkler heads but find it's more work then anticipated. So before I put to many hours on it and it still has the...

I am sure many of you guys have discussed this before, I did not seem to come up with much info on a quick search regarding truck exhaust systems. I have a 1993 Ford F250 non turbo diesel. Banks offers a load of stuff from turbos to exhaust systems, but I am not interested in turbo charging...

Anyone with a NH/Ford 2120 or similar with HSS (hydraulic shuttle shift) have or had this problem? Ours now does this all of the sudden. Neutral is now forward. Forward still is forward and reverse locks up and stalls the engine. There is no neutral or reverse. After all the work we have gone...

JD\'s website has me confused I am checking out the JD 4610, a direct competitor to the Kubota L4330 I am checking out. Where do you find the loaders? They have a price configurator and I realize its suggested retail but does that price they have include a loader, if so, I can understand the...

Any opinions about who makes a great cordless telephone? I see that 5.8GHz phones are out from folks like VTech and Uniden. My old Panasonic is now a play toy for our little boy. It was a 2.4GHz and while it worked, was great. Panasonic is not making 5.8GHz phones to my knowledge. The free ATT...

I am thinking about downsizing from my Kubota L48 to perhaps a L3830 or 4330 or even a comparable JD or NH model. That was until I saw this beast. I want this one now. My neighbors would certainly think I'm somebody on a tractor like this. I can picture myself out mowing the dew ladden grass on...

We lost the pilot light on our floor furnace at our cabin at Lake Tahoe. A bad pilot generator. Everything froze, 3 broken pipes inside and split toilet fill valves. I repaired all the leaks, and am drying things out. My question I figure might be answered by you folks out in the Midwest or...

What do those of you with GST think about it. It certainly is unique among tractors. The new 30 series has an electronic GST with 12 or 24 gears. It is a great idea yet it seems we hear little about it. I know neither NH or JD have anything like it. I'm considering a downsize and want input from...

My wife wants a utility vehicle to carry around the various tools and plants at our place. Our neighbor has a Gator with 6 tires which is completely unnecessary for us but it got me thinking about the Gator. The 4x2 would be more then adequate. Anyone with a 4x2 Gator have some thoughts about...

After several dozen times, you would think I would learn. First it was a full 5 gallon bucket of hydraulic oil and today the case for my Porter Cable random orbit sander. These are just two of the larger items I have manged to destroy by leaving them in my loader bucket, forgetting about them...

As a subscriber to Bobcats informational updates, a new top secret tractor is in the works. Just what is it? They only tease us on the top secret list but it sounds very interesting. This from their website: Design mandates for the 5600: Power. Approximately 40 HP. Needs good pulling force...

Any folks know what the best way to recharge a 12 volt battery used to open and close a gate. By best I mean for battery longevity or useful life. I have 120v at the gate but currently use solar cells. I'm just not sure that I'm getting the kind of life out of the battery that I should. The...

Anyone use or familiar with using ICF to build a home? It looks very interesting. Simple, fast, superior insulation, quiet, and apparently cost effective. I've been building homes using conventional stick framing since 1972 but this looks like how I would like to build my own home. Any thoughts...

New L\'s for Kubota Carvers mentions that Kubota is replacing all the tractors in the L series from the L3010 to the L4610. They will post specifications as soon as they become available.

The young girls body that was found Tuesday, that of 5 year old Samantha Runnion who was kidnapped outside her home in Southern California absolutely infuriates me. When hearing of this I thought about how I could kill another human being. I mean it, I find taking of human life despicable, but...

I don't know why, maybe it's becasue I'm left handed and using a little laptop with the mouse that has the little flat area your run your finger around, but I always seem to be dropping down the JD ad and having to close it again. Anyone else do that?

It hit 111+ degrees here in Northern California yesterday. I know this because all those folks on the radio and TV keep telling us, over and over and over etc. Bear in mind, these folks live in air conditioned homes and report this in air conditioned work places and drive home in air...

What? Tags doesn\'t have his Phantom 110 YET!!! Whats it been now, 3 years since you ordered it? Ohh, ouch, holey socks, Tags just read your comment after using my silky smooth L48 to move a pile of clean white mason's sand and with no Kings VS Lakers game on tonight, thought I'd give the ol...

C'mon you New Holland owners and potential owners, your New Holland site is getting kinda boring with all the price checks. I keep checking to see if there is something interesting going on here, price checks are not one of them. How about " Big Blu split in two", or "Big Blue is Never Thru"...

Dang, wondering what happened to MChalkleys post and its been eliminated from further posts by the big cheese. I visit "other tractors" purely for MChalkley, well almost, got in trouble talking about the Kioti's and vowed to stay out of "others" forum. So Mark, where does one go to find out...

I'm helping out an old friend 83 yrs old that still runs several hundred acres of orchard. He has a 1957 (same year I was born) Ford 850 series tractor with a very cracked head on this gas engine. (He still runs older ones then this daily) Any clues where I can check on getting a used one? I...

Is Paul the Ol resident vetenairian still around TBN these days? I remember he had a very funny sense of humor. He had a Kubota 2710 I believe. Rat...

I'm considering a rototiller and would like a lot of input from those who know something about them (like John Miller III who always knows something about everything and has pictures to boot) I have around 38 PTO HP (Kubota L48 and International 454). Any suggestions as to brands/models? I am...

2 PTO\'s on my International Just wondering if anybody has ever used the high speed PTO (forgot the speed) to run a low HP eating mower. My International runs 2 PTO's out the back one at 540 and another at a considerably higher speed. I was wondering if I could run a mower at a much reduced RPM...

Chrysler introduces its new 2002 New Yorker

Perhaps its having a gravel driveway and poorly sealing windows that has contibuted the most to our home getting dusty fast. (Besides stirring things up with the tractor) Am considering a home air cleaner/filter but when I went to check them out on the web, I was inundated with products and...

I'm getting close to closing in on purchasing either a Kubota L48 or a L4610HST. While the L48 is a little more expensive, it is peanuts when you look at it over the years I'll have it. Hoping some L48 folks (I know their are very few) can give me some thoughts about their likes and dislikes. I...

I believe it was me that posted the 10001 post here at Kubota. Thank You, thanks to all. Rat...

The John Deere web site has a price configurator that allows you to add various upgrades/options to their line of tractors. After trying it out on a 4700 HST, R4's, and remotes, I thought the price was a little on the high side until I realized that it did'nt even include the loader. For over...

Just received my John Deere video contrasting the three major manufactuers. John Deere did a very good job of pointing out its strengths. As one who generally thinks Kubota is best, there are certainly some things that John M Deere has the upper hand on. I am considering a Kubota L4610 HST. A...

My mighty monster... eat your heart out Mark Chalkley

Whats all this I hear about McChalkley selling his L4310 super modified, moving to Europe, buying a Fendt tractor and showing off his goods over there now? What country did he choose, probably France where he can Yuppie and fill his mug with wine. Perhaps Germany where seriousness and precision...

I have a International 454D (with Lightning Shift, whew). When I check the hydraulic oil level via a dip stick next to the left heel of the operator, I get two readings. My first reading, taken in the morning after the tractor has sat overnight, shows no hydraulic oil, not a drop on the stick...

Today, February 7th is not only my birthday, but John Deeres birthday! Congratulations to you Mr Deere for building great American tractors!!! Rat...

Hey, I've been away , out of town and was wondering if McChalkley died. I sent him a personal message and nothing. Perhaps the overloaded L4310 HST custum special finally rolled and he's recovering from a 7000lb tractor bruise. At any rate, I do hope our Kubota DUDE is OK. Rat...
