Hi, I have 230' of smooth interior double wall corrugated outside HDPE pipe, and 130' of schedule 40 6" PVC. At some point, I'm going to need to join the two together. Is there a special adapter made for something like this? I can't find one online. Thanks, Todd

Thanks. Nobody will go near it when it is on. We'll operate it from the seat. Ted, Given some people have tried to apply down pressure from behind the tractor, have you considered welding a pipe fitting to that flat plate at the end of the boom, where the gear box hangs down. Then people...

It will likely drill/dig under 200 holes in the next 2-3 years. I don't think we need down pressure :) Thanks, Todd

Hi Ted, I'm going to be ordering a post hole digger for my 3520 (deere), and wanted to confirm the 6900 HD was the correct size. Also, I'm in NC like you, and plan to use this to make planting trees and shrubs easier. We have decent soil on the property, and I'm wondering if I should go with a...

Too big for me: http://www.auctiontime.com/OnlineAuctions/Details.aspx?OHID=8208625&lp=th Or I'd bid on it and ship it to NC. Even if it cost $1000 to ship, it would make for fast lawn mowing on my 11 acres. The website says the opening bid met the reserve, so this could be a steal for someone...

Hi, I was planning to get a Kioti DK45se HST with loader and turf tires. I'd primarily be using it to cut about 9 acres with a flail mower, and the only other implement I want in the near future is a post hole digger with a 12 or 14 inch auger for planting shrubs and small trees. The property...

I was looking at the specs on the Grand L's, and Kubota has min. ground clearance listed as 14". Clearly that can't be the clearance of the front axle when you have 27" or 29" diameter turf tires on. So are they measuring the ground clearance at the center line of the tractor, or at the...

Hi, I've been looking at the new L40's, as well as the Deere alternatives, and am wondering about something on the L3240/3540 tractors. Deere states their mid-PTO is independent. So you can run just the rear PTO, or just the Mid PTO. Can this be done on the Grand L's? I'm trying to figure...

Hi, I went and looked at Kioti tractors again last week. Happened to be in the right area, but sadly that dealer closed at 3pm on Saturdays. So I didn't get to ask for a quote. The Kioti CK30 HST on their lot looked like a nice sized tractor, and looking online, the CK35 HST is a tractor I'd...

Just asking because I consider the 3520 to be the perfect sized tractor for what I want. Sort of between the Kubota B's and L's, but at this point I'd take an L3540 over it because they appear much more stable on slopes due to simple width. If the L3400 had a mid PTO I'd look at that too...

Has anyone used a 59" or 63" Caroni flail on a B3030, or know if it would handle one comfortably. Thanks, Todd

Hi, Back when I lived in VT, I used a B2710 to mow around 2 1/2 acres, brush hog 5, clear snow, till a garden, and do landscaping. It was capable of doing 98% of what I wanted, and if I needed the pond or creek dug out, we hired someone. Now we're going to build a house on an 11acre pasture...

I'm just re-familiarizing myself with the Kubota Grand L's, and saw that the 3540 has an optional 3rd fxn valve on the loader. I'd like to be able to operate a hydraulic PHD, and was wondering if that valve is sufficient. I know the Long version says it is only for a 4n1, and not for motors...

Hi all, We had our pond and feeder creek re-dug last spring. It now fills with any significant rain, but then it drains back out the feeder creek. I'm trying to design a dam into which I will put a one-way water/sewage valve, so the pond can always fill to the level of the feeder creek, even...

My poor tractor. Life's been so busy for the past few months, that I haven't had her out of the garage. She got so depressed from the neglect, that both her front tires went flat. Had to use the bucket to lift the front end and pump them back up. Took her out for a bit and I think she's...

Given the low interest in my other post, wanted more of you guys to check out this site. This is a monster case for the 2nd amendment. U.S. v. Emerson. If the 5th circuit court doesn't overturn the decision, then a slew of previous decisions favoring the "collective right" interpretation of...

Hi all, I'm back on this topic. Since the general opinion on the board was so averse to any new gun control laws, even in places were we have no useful ones, I've been reading. Read some stuff by Bill Clede, and by Massod Ayoob. Also read descriptions of some state laws on guns and CCP's...

I'm constantly amazed at how non-materialistic some people here in Vermont are. I've gotten used to the helpful nature of many Vermonters, my neighbor Brian plows the road and driveways, I'll go out and till or move soil for people, Allen has plowed and harrowed for us, etc. That's part of the...

ATV\'s/Honda Pilots? I was just reading that thread on atv utility vehicles, and it got me to wondering. For a few years I've been watching this industry, hoping to see Honda bring back the Pilot dune buggy style atv's. That Polaris Ranger is as close as I've seen. If they went with 4...

Since the market isn't doing what my thermometer is, I figure it's not a bad time to buy. Anyone have a favorite stock, or something interesting. My pet stock at the moment is CryoCell (CCEL). Bought some after we used them to store my daughter's cord blood stem cells 17m ago. It's gone up...

Hi All, Was reading another thread, and it touched on hearing protection. Got me curious. I wear earmuff type hearing protection when I use my tractor, lawn mower, or contractor saw. Always. Use a helmet/hearing protector/face shield when I chainsaw (with chaps) or use a "weed wacker"...

Well, my wife just finished another 125hr week as a pregnant med student on surgery. My 15month old daughter's wonderful and time consuming. Work is busy. And my garden's shrunk. Two years ago we used a quarter acre, and got loads of veggies. Last year we used a quarter acre, didn't weed...

Living here in Vermont, Senator Jefford's switch to become an independent has received a lot of attention. I'm curious if it's getting significant air time elsewhere, and what your opinion of it is. While I was initially against his move, having heard his motivation and how the GOP treated...

Hi everyone, I seem to have a problem with my '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee that nobody can figure out. I was hoping to get some suggestions from all you mechanically inclined tractor lovers before I bring it in AGAIN. So here's my dissertation on the problem. My jeep has the 4 liter 6 cylinder...
