My barn is immediately adjacent to a salt water marsh. The barn is reasonably weathertight. I notice that things in the barn - tools hanging on the wall, metal storage cabinets etc seem to rust at an accelerated pace. Is there something I can do inside the barn that slows down the process short...

After giving the tractor the once over with the grease gun there are the inevitable overflows at the joints and zerks. This stuff seems impossible to get rid of and becomes a dirt magnet. Does anyone know of a way to clean up in those hard to reach spots. Power washing doesn't do it.

When I reduce the size o fphotos in photoshop to get under the 100k limit they look terrible. What is the best technique?

I KNOW i\'m stupid but.... This SHOULD be easy: I noticed a hydraulic leak yesterday. It is at the hose connection at the elbow of the backhoe. It appears to be leaking at the threads of the hose where it fastens to the nipple/adapter/thingamajig (see attached photos) It seems like I just need...

I want to have an easy on/off trailer receiver hitch that I can attach to the bucket of my backhoe. I have been directed to a thread here by GuglioLS but in that setup the bucket is replaced with the hitch. There must be a way to weld a flange or something along the side of the bucket so I...

Perhaps i mistakingly posted this in attachements: trailer hitch on backhoe? 08/17/05 02:03 PM Edit Reply Quote I see many ads for trailer hitches on drawbars at the rear but I use the backhoe all the time and don't want to take it off just to move a trailer. We have...

maybe I am having a senior moment but I go thru the spellchecker but can't seem to make it apply to my post. I'm sure its some buton I have'nt founf to click but really shouldn't taht be VERY obvious! (taht is a spell check joke ok?)

I see many ads for trailer hitches on drawbars at the rear but I use the backhoe all the time and don't want to take it off just to move a trailer. We have an enclosed trailer that gets storedin a very tight spot that requires every ounce of my backing up going forward skills when attached to...

I have a B21 with just 225 hours on it. Yesterday I started it up and got about 50 yds down the road then it sputtered out like it ran out of gas. I have 3/4 of a tank. I took the hose off at the gas filter (on the gas tank side of the filter) and cranked the engine. No gas coming out. Does...

I finished this project last weekend. Its wind, rain, water, fire and earthquake resistant. It worked out to about $7 per square foot.

I need to be retrained every time. I have photoshop 7 There must be an easy way to get my pics below the 100K limit

We are considering buying a tipi to place on our property. Seems like a perfect building. Fun for the kids to sleep over in , spare bedroom etc. We are thinking of one about 20' diameter. Does anyone have experience with them? Pros, cons? Which mfg.?

The front portion of my 4 in 1 FEL is bent. It dips down in the middle right where it meets the rear portion of the FEL so it won't close entirely. (I KNEW I was picking up too many rocks, too big) I'm sure I can bend it back somehow - pipe clamps - placing it on a rock and raising the tractor...

Perhaps I misposted in the wrong catagory. See my question about chainsaw on a stick under attachments (what was I thinking?)

I have lots of tree rimming to do. I'm unable to reach those clumps way out on skinny limbs. I may buy myself a fathers day gift of a chainsaw pole pruner. They don't come cheap @ $600+ but either does my time or my brittle bones when I fall from a 10' ladder. Anybody have experience, feedback...

I'm starting to feel the need for one of those little utility vehicles with a little flatbed in the back. Small, easy access, tight turning radius - just to bring more than a handful of tools and a bag of cement to the other side of the property (uphill) Electric sounds nice. It wouldn't be used...

I want to pull taunt some fence wire. This is 6' high, galvanized wire, probably in a 2"x4" grid. The only fence pullers I have found so far are for heavier chainlink fences. If I try fishing a flatbat vertically thru the fence then pulling the bar - it just breaks the adjacent vertical wire. I...

When I first come to tractorbynet I still get this msg: "We cannot proceed. All of the required fields are not filled in. Please use your back button to return to the previous page. " I ignore this and click "main index" and everything is accessable. Also "my home" hasn't been much use...

I have these shots in other catagories but for those of you that don't cruise the the whole board. I'm working on a small vineyard on a 28% +/- slope.

I put a similar post in vineyard management practices in rural living but thought it might go here or in photos. This his a hiilside I am terracing (I think I once measured it at 28% - don't remember - but I sure can't go sideways) I'm planting 250 vines here, taking all summer to dink around...

I've seen boxes mounted on many places but none of them work on a B21 with a backhoe. The only place I see so far is up over my head on the canopy ceiling. But I'm so paranoid of tippng over I keep a low center of gravity and don't want to add any weight topside. I figure it helps my center of...

I can't find the answer so I'm turning to my TBN team. I have been searching the net to find facts on what the stoppping distance would be for a vehicle traveling various speeds on a gravel road. Can anyone point me to a page with such info? Thanks in advance

My neighbor has an easement thru my property " for ingress and egress, 20' in width upon the existing roadway" The existing roadway is a gravel road about 10' wide. He is now trying to widen the existing road and also take more of my land at the end of this road by adverse possession or...

My B21 almost always has the backhoe mounted on the rear (where else?) So I guess I've grown use to the balance. Last week I took off the hoe and put on a PTO post hole auger and drillled a series of holes along a hill. Being very carefull backing up along the hill I completed the holes with no...

It's been about a week now and I think I've calmed down enough to discuss this... I have just had a very *&^#@$**%!!! experience with my (ex) kubota dealer. I started this in a different thread back in January (a leak in my B21 1/10/01). I bought a new B21 from a Northern California dealer and...

dummy can\'t connect... Yesterday I take off the backhoe, resting on the bucket and both stabilizers. This morning I try to reconnect it and for the life of me cannot get the quick connect hoses to connect. VERY frustrating and I'm feeling stupid that there is something obvious I'm missing...

I will be hauling a Kubota B21 tractor a few times a year, just a few miles. With loader, bachoe and loaded tires it weighs 4,400 pounds. I have an opportunity to get a slightly used BigTex 60CH car hauler: GVWR=6,000#, two 3500# Dexter axles w/ electric brakes on one axle. The local dealer says...

The loading of any of TBN pages has been very very slow for me for a coupla weeks now. Each page, especially th efirst, take considerably longer than they used to. Maybe twenty or thirty seconds compared to two or three seconds before. I don't experience this slowdown on any sites other than...

When I logged on today it went to the overall discussion page, not the custom one I had that only showed the Kubota and general topics. I also noted the revised header colors. Perhaps this is related? I will go back through my old emails to find out how to set up the custom page, try again, and...

Since seeing some of your photos is one of my favorites spots here, I guess I better shoot a few off as they are just collecting digital dust on my hard drive. My property( it feels ALOT steeper than it looks!), kids (I wish I could have grown up in a place like this), tractor B21 (30hours...

I have a new (28 hrs) B21. Having just parked it on the brand new slab I noticed a small puddle under the 4 in 1. I raised the bucket a few inches and put some paper under it to find the leak. The next day the bucket was resting on the slab with the paper wet as shown in the attachment...

I have a hill that is way too steep to be sideways. How do I cut a 6' wide path somewhat parallel to the contours. Do I point the bachoe uphill, cut three feet uphill and drag it down to create three feet of fill, then while staying basically pointing up and downhill, drive down alittle so I can...

This is a great forum, except I have grown addicted and must check in constantly! One thing I would really like to see, but I'm sure the technical aspects are prohibitive, is that I would be able to customize my Main Index so only the forums I am interested in show up. I don't need to see how...

I'm considering adding an electric winch to my Kubota B21 Any suggestions? I suppose I should get something strong enuf to pull the tractor or another vehicle out of stuck so it should have a remote.I'm not sure on capactiy, where would I mount it, easy to install, etc.....

OK Ive got my B21 with 4:1 loader, backhoe, box scaper and post hole digger, just ordered my tiltometer, figured out which trailer to get. Next question - I want to mount a small toolbox on the trailer. What should go in the toolbox? Mind you, I won't be doing any rebuilds in the field, but what...
