Hi, I'm going to buy a B7500 Kubota tractor and don't want have to pay a very high sales tax. I have no property to meet state requirements of 5 acres or more. I will have to pay sales tax which is almost 10% in Tennessee. Thanks, John.

I first posted this on the owning/operating then discovered this section. my apologies for cross posting. I'm new to this. Just bought a B1550 with 600hrs on it. 5 years old kept in the barn all it's life. paint still very fresh even the...

Hello, I usually keep an implement (rotary mower or box blade) on my JD790 to balance the 70 FEL. I'm purchasing a Millcreek Manure spreader (model 25) and will be pulling it with the tractor's draw bar (without 3pt implements). Should I be looking for some rear wheel weights (or filling...

I'm new to this. Just bought a B1550 with 600hrs on it. 5 years old kept in the barn all it's life. paint still very fresh even the undercarriage. However it piddles hydraulic fluid from the the bottom of the left side of the rear end. In an effort to find the source of the leak I wiped...

Cub 122 - stalls and won\'t start Hello all, I have been "lurking" here long enough, it's time to post a question! Our farm has a Cub 122 that we have been using for mowing for years, until recently. After running for a couple of hours, it stalls and won't restart. Turn the key and nothing...

Which is likely proof that I am indeed insane! My guess is many of you know about my decision to buy a little brother for my B2910. My zero percent financing was approved by Kubota, and so my dealer is getting a BX2200 with 60 inch MMM, block heater and heavy duty alternator on order for me...

Hi, I have heard from the dealer that Kubota split from the Kioti company at one time. When you buy a Kubota or Kioti your buying the same design and set-up. Is there much diffients between the two? Thanks, John.

I am noticing some questionable things about my B2910HST. I have noticed that sometimes when I am mowing and press back on the pedal that it is hard to press. I will then back off the pedal and press again and it is normal. Is this a problem? Thanks

I would like to add a light to the top of the ROP because the 7308 blocks the front lights. Can I splice into the existing headlight circuit and add a small light on the ROP or would that overload the existing lights and cause a fuse to fail.

Does any one have any comments on these two rotary cutters(pros/cons). I here both are good. Need to decide on one for my L3830. I do have a woods Hb72 Box scraper and like it very well. Thanks for any information.

I was reading another post here at TBN and noticed someone talking about the top and tilt functionality they had installed. What exactly is top and tilt used for and how does it work? I know this might sound ignorant, but I would rather ask a dumb question than none at all! Thanks to all!

what is available in the way of back hoe buckets on this machine, I dont suppose it would handle a 2 footer huh?

I was wondering what should be done as far as maintenance to my RFM. Are you suppose to change the gear box oil? How often? What else should you look for in maintenance? Thanks

I have heard that people order manuals for their tractor. Do these go into further detail about how to work on things? What all do they include? What is a general price for one? Thanks

I've got to remove some bushings from the end of the dipper on my backhoe. It appears that either the wrong 'length' bushings where used, or they somehow moved. The upshot is that I cannot get the bucket off. What are ways to do this? Are their simple (cheap?) tools like a gear puller type...

Hi, What makes hydrostatic Transmissions good or bad to have on a Tractor? Thanks, John.

Hi, I need a price on both of these tractors and they both will have no hydrostat and have AG tires and also will be 4X4's. Thanks, John.

I'm new to tractors. My last "property" was 50 FEET by 150 FEET and, well...my old push mower is a little over welmed by my current 60 acres. I'm buying a 4520 Branson and intend to use it to: A) tear out 4000 feet of old barbwire/rotten woodenpost fence, B) maintain about a mile of...

I just had my GC2300 delivered this evening. After looking it over I am now confused about the mower height adjustment. The manual says to use the four guage wheels to dial in the mower height. This would mean that the deck rides on the ground, but I thought it was supposed to be suspended...

Hi, I have a B2910...and will likely order a BX2200 tomorrow. I am thinking to trade my 60" RFM in on a BX2200 with 60" MMM. There is another thread I started on the why of this... Here and a related one Here... So, before I make the final decision to trade my 60" RFM in on a 60" MMM...

Kioti\'s no interest financing extended.... Kioti's 0% financing for 36 months has been extended through the month of July 2003. A $250 rebate has been added for the CK20 in lieu of the low/no interest financing. Several other rebates are also available for the various models...

I'm looking at a 1040 loader on a MF 1455v 4wd. It has a 60" standard bucket on it now, but I prefer a 72" to cover the tractor width. I think it might be a good idea to go on and get the HD bucket for a couple of hundred dollars more. The HD bucket weighs about 200lbs more than the standard...

I was using the 3-pt hitch frequently this week-end (using a 5ft box blade for 5 hours straight) and noticed something that concerns me. It appears that some hydraulic fluid is leaking from the right side 3pt hitch lift arm where it connects to the tractor. I had just checked the fluid (screw...

The tilt steering on my TC 33D no longer will hold in place. It just goes back to the up position. Has anyone else had this problem? Only have 80 hours and this seems to be too soon for things to start breaking. Any suggestions?

As a relative newbee, please excuse any incorrect terminology! I was box blading this weekend on my bx2200 and both (not just one) of the sway linkage broke. A weld snapped. My question is, could I have been doing something wrong to cause this or is this a design problem that I need to talk...

Does anyone have the OEM specs on the 5 X 14 Firestone Farm Service Lug M tires? Specifically, I'm looking for the overall diameter of the tire. I can't find it on the OEM's web site. Thanks!

Looked at E-350 on Saturday and filled out credit application. I am a little hesitant on buying Mahindra due to limited dealership network and concerns for quality of product. Would appreciate hearing from any Mahindra E-350 owners. Price quoted for the E-350 was $8495. I have checked around...

Another wall-eyed weekend has passed by and nobody died. That always amazes me. Weekends is the time when hubby catches up with all the little indescretions that happen over the course of the week and the proverbial poopy hits the fan. "Who left my battery charger out in the back yard?!"...

Poor man\'s forks I didn't have quite enough money in my budget to get forks so I improvised a little with a wood moving project. By loading the four foot sticks of would creatively, I was able to cut down on several trips from the cutting location to the splitting location. Picture attached...

After looking at my options I decided to go the expense of having my tires filled with Arnco Superflex Softfill. Someone over in the Owning/ Operating forum had mentioned he had his tires done with this and was pleased. Great stuff.... I did not notice much of a difference in the ride when...

Just got a quote on a new JD 790 four wheel drive with 419 FEL. Also included is a Bush Hog SQ6000 5' rotary cutter, PTO driven auger with 9" bit, and a Tuffline 5' box blade and a tooth bar for the FEL bucket. Quote 15,800 for the package. Drove the tractor Saturday and loved it. Price...

72\" RFM questions Must admit I didn't do my homework very well. The Frontier finish mower which I purchased, has spacers on all four float wheels which must be moved to change the cut height. Is this the way most/all RFMs are? Any secrets as to how to best use the RFM, full float on the wheels?

\"Gear\" Instrument Light, whats it all about?? I have a Shibaura D23F (grey) that I bought about a month ago. I have put quite a number of hours on it in the first few weeks. Last weekend, I checked the hydraulic/trans oil level (had to find it first). Level was OK, but figured I'd do it a...

I get nothing when i turn the key. Its not the stating fuse because i have a breaker in its place and i did replace with a fuse to be sure. I checked all fuses in the fuse box all good. Is there a main fuse and if so, where? Not the battery because is was running fine all day and i stopped...

My first "What a Week" post concerned troubles with our Branson (see This Link). At the same time that was going on, we were trying to buy the PT-425 that Moss Road spent too much of our money on. In the process we had to deal with miscommunications, missing long distance service, missing...

I have been doing a lot of grading of my property lately. My technique is to make several passes with my boxscraper to create piles of dirt that I scoop up with my FEL. This creates pretty loose soil and some rocks but it seems like my bucket doesn't get even 1/3 full when I make a pass with the...

Could anyone tell me what factory tire size for a Shibaura D28F is.Thanks Dewey

I remember a while back reading about discussion of using the toplink or a chain when using a bushhog type mower. NOW that I need it I cant find it. My mower doesnt have a flex link of any type and am concerned with going over some rough terain when cleaning up some woods/pature. Also I have...

This was the only frustration on my new BX so far. We unhooked the PHD and tried to install the rototiller yesterday. After fighting and fighting to get our hands/arms in close enough to try to hook the PTO to the tractor unsuccessfully, son and I took the PTO shield off to get access. Now I...

Are these filters worth installing, I've heard some heavy claims that they are excellent for trapping 2.5 micron particles and keeping the oil super clean. But who knows..

I found a kubota BF400 with an L275 (27.5hp) motor & 4wd for sale. However, I can't seem to get it into the 4 high gears. Is it because I have the 4wd or PTO engaged? What am I doing wrong, or is it just broken?

I was checking the torque on the wheels of my bx-22 for the proper tightness, I thought it said rear 120 ft lbs but was only 96 ft lbs, Will over torquing by 24 pounds hurt anything here. I backed it off to the proper 96 ft lbs, 120 for the front.

Wood\'s RD6000 RFM [w/3 hours use] trade in value? Hi, I got the Woods RD6000, 60" RFM as part of a package when I bought my tractor last July. It was dry and I don't think I used it more than 3 hours, perhaps five, but I doubt five. Anyone know what it might be worth, as far as trade in...

I've had my B7800 for a week now. Decided after 2 days that I didn't like wrestling implements around to get them hooked up. I currently have the Woods BrushBull 60, and King Kutter II 60" tiller. Today I brought home the SpeeCo Quick Hitch. The quick hitch extends the implement out...

I found a used JD855 that looks interesting. Any sources on the web for specs and info? I'd like to know what the different options are so I can ask the right questions and look for the things when inspecting. Thanks, wickman

I'm on the verge of buying a BX2200. I'm trying to possibly make the plunge before Tuesday when Ohio's sales tax goes up 1%. I really like the BX2200 and why put it off if I'll just end up buying it a month from now. Here's the best price I can get from a local dealer: BX2200 with 60" MMM -...

Our key is really bent, is there a place where we can buy more keys for it?, Are the keys universal?

If I store my MMM on edge, in the vertical position, will I have gearbox oil leaking out a vent in the gearbox? Storing it veritcal against a fence or in a shed would save some room. THANKS. Newbie needs to know, without the oily mess. Ron

What is a \"B20\"? I'm still in the market for a B21, or maybe something a bit bigger, but I ran into a B20 today. I didn't get a chance to look at it much, but I'm going back over this weekend to take a peek. It looks more like a predecessor to the BX22 than the B21, but I'm not really sure...

I would be interested in learning of personal experiences with these chinese tractors. I've looked at a 40 and 50 hp model. They seem fairly substantial. The prices are relatively low. But, all I can seem to find on the net is marketing and tech specs - little in the way of anecdotes, unlike the...

I took delivary of my new 4110 this past tuesday and have a few questions for those with them... I have a handle on the left fender, but not the right, there seems to be holes there that have plugs. In the manual, when showing a picture of the rockshaft lever, there is a handle. My dealer is...

In this thread... I confessed I was thinking seriously about the possibility of buying a bx kubota to partner up with my B2910. This week I will be visiting my dealer and see how bad he would like to sell a tractor to someone who he just last year sold a b2910 to. Now if I should decided to...

Can anyone tell me what the differences are between the 351 and 352 loaders? Couldnt find any info on the older 351. Main concerns are attaching/detaching loader, loader functions such as dumping and lowering at same time... Jack

My tractor was delivered today. NICE. Fit and finish good. Delivery guy covered everything. I dug a post hole just to try it out. Now will read all the manuals. Might even pop a cold one and sit (not operate!) on it and enjoy my learning! Got an FEL, MMM, and Bush hog tiller. Curious...

I have been lurking here for months and have learned a great deal about compact tractors. The amount of knowledge and experience on this site is amazing. With your indirect help over the last few months I have decided to buy the Kubota L3830 Hyd. The price I got on the following package seems...

Tree spades, 3ph 24\" tree toads I have (250) 5'-7' tall 3/4" to 1 1/2" diameter trees to move A project started when we built, and I now have a TC-30, 7308 loader I want to end this project. It does not appear I can hang a hydrualic tree spade off the 3ph (weight, lacking pressure, and...

I got a New \"Toy\". Yesterday, I got a new toy! I mean implement I got a Bush Hog 2101 post hole digger. Man does that thing dig a hole!!! My cousin, my wife and I unloaded out of the truck, and wrestled it onto the tractor. I was almost ready to bring that alligator back and keep diggin...

does anybody make a really large lawn sweeper that i could sweep the cut grass up with. i cut around 10+ acres, so it would need to be large thanks don

When I"m in reverse and then lift my foot of the pedal, sometimes the pedal stay depressed in reverse. I think its hanging up on a support bracket for the MMM. Seems worse when the mower is in a high position. Anyone else have this problem? I've learned to quickly hit the brake or forward...

Thanks for the references. At this point I am looking for the front grill and a canopy that would attach to the ROP bar.

Ok, I finally found the right disk. This is what I came up with for a weight system. I'm lucky because I work in an area where we have a fab shop and was able to get the supplies. However any welding or fab shop could make this up pretty quick I would think. The weights are from Wal-Mart and...

Jinma 6\" (24\") Wood Chipper I have seen ads for Jinma Brush Chippers for 3 point hitch tractors (compact utilities). They appear to be under $2,000. The high end 3pth units like Vermeer and others can go over $6,000 new. Considering these things don't have an engine, they're basically...

Have leveled some ground. Found 1"-2" down = missouri clay. Like concrete when dry/hard. Grass not grow very well in any case. Some topsoil saved for re-spreading but not enough - there wasn't enough in the first place. Looking for a good formula to till in to make 3" - 4" minimum for seed or...

When I bought my F 20 D the guy that sold it to me said that an additional hydraulic pump could be added by removing the front cover and bolting a additional pump on the front of it. Can anybody verify this or tell me it is not corect? An extra pump would be a nice thing to have. Especially...

I am interested in building/buying a power rake for light landscape work. We have solid, hard clay. Will these break up the clods? How well do they work for you? The brochures make it look nice. Would like to use one in the straight mode as a kind of verticutter, and angled to rough up...

I've seen a few discussions here about the durability of the switches and electronics on the new JD 4x10 series so I thought that someone might be interested in my experiences. Maybe about two weeks after I got my 4310 I had just finished washing it and was putting it in the garage when it just...

I live in RI and own a small engine epair shop and am thinking of importing tractors to sell and service here in RI. I have been talking to walter of China Depot and he has the ability to get me a TY294C-1 tractor and loader to import. The only problem is that I cannot find which manufacturer...

Keepin\' it clean Now here is (are) the question(s): How many of you wash your <font color="green">tractor</font> ? How many of you wax/polish your <font color="green">tractor</font> ? Preferences? How many of you cover your <font color="green">tractor</font> ? (What do you use to cover?)

I finally have everything I need for the tractor.

Well it's finally here! The dealer installed my new FEL so that it could be removed without the hydraulic lever. Now I can change out between the FEL and front snowblower.

New one on me? Is it a Jinma? Saw a dealer in Central Indiana, looked more like used car lot. No shop, no parts department.

a \'six\' on the new gray hairs scale I'm coming back from Walmart with my son Jake and way down the dirt road I see my sixteen year old daughter Jill running for all she's worth. LOPING down the road. Jake and I looked at each other and I punched the gas pedal, ninety to nothing down the dirt...

I have a cheap little Earthway. too small. Can't afford a new two row, and i'm in an area where there just aren't any used tractor implements. I figure seen most of the old ones have been jsut about completely rebuilt by their owners, anyway. Thinking about building a two row planter. I...

That's the only way to describe what I saw happen with my son today and it was......funny as heck. Trying to hook up the mower AGAIN, he asked me for my help. Reflecting on an event that happened yesterday when I asked him for his help and he whined and moaned and complained and eventually...

Kubota can\'t do it! (Deere can.) Here's something that Kubota can't do.

What a week, and it's not over yet. Two problems cropped up on my 3520 in the past few days, one minor and one major. First the minor bit. I've had the orange top pop off of the range selector knob a couple of times. Each time it happened, I simply snapped it back on. Sunday it popped off...

Deere can do it! (Kubota can\'t) Here's something that Deere can do!

I'm looking for a catagory 1 drawbar with 1 inch holes in it. Does such a thing exist? Does anyone know where I could get one? I've got a homemade trailer that my father once built to haul his tractors with, and my wife doesn't seem to thing I should have it parked in front of the house-- she...

First let me introduce myself, my name is Ronnie and I'm new to this site. I've read most of the post, and have gotten lots of good info. It looks like ya'll are very informative on this subject. I'm thinking about purchasing the Kioti DK 65, and would like to get some input on this. I'd like...

I have a kubota B1550 15hp. and 3 ac of hay to mow and bale. what size mower and baler (if any) works well with this tractor? thanks dave

Ooops, sorry guys, wrong picture. I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures and gave you a shot of my dog rather then tractor stuff. i've got some pics here someplace of the weight setup I made for the front that I wanted to share. I'll find it!!

I talked with service department at my dealers yesterday in anticipation of the infamous 50 hr service. I wanted to arrange for the filters and fluids as I have 32 hours on my machine and have to order supplies up here in Alaska. To my surprise and possible delight he told me that I did not need...

I can\'t be held responsible..... ...for anything I say out of a dead sleep. Jake came creeping into the house at after one a.m. this morning. Naturally I was sound asleep, I didn’t expect him back until morning, he was supposed to be on an all night hog hunt. When he shook my elbow gently to...

This might be too difficult to program, or simply impossible to set up, but I figure I'll ask anyway... Would it be possible to set up a "gallery" of tractor photos, say one or two of each model (I know thats at LOT of tractors, but there are a lot of tractor owners here!), and then program the...

Anyone know of a good source of part for a MF1250.

One of the cylinder is not fireing, and the Tech wants to know the spec of the Valve Gap, so he can adjust. also I need advice how to fix the problem. Thank you in Advance.

Just got 50 hrs. on my L3830. The dealer is suppose to pick it up this evening to do the service. When I mentioned that the manual says to change the transmission fluid, He said they usually just change the filter and that would take care of it. Then change the fluid at 500 hrs. Any comments...

My neighbor has been eyeing my new <font color="orange"> L3830 </font> ever since he saw the dealer drop it off last week. He came over Sunday afternoon and wanted to know if he could borrow the tractor and my box blade to work on his 300' gravel driveway. I told him okay even though that...

Just starting using my new bx-2200. I noticed when I washed it down that steam was coming up from the rear end. The axle is hot to the touch. Is this normal ? Last week I left the parking brake on for about 15 min while in 4 wheel drive and didn't notice it. It was hot after that also. Had to...

I was wondering if I could add a FEL to a YM2210? It would also need a power steering kit as well. Is this possible or should I sell it and get one that is FEL ready? I love the tractor but I HAVE to HAVE a FEL. I'm located in louisiana if anyone knows of someone that could pull this off for...

When I heard about green and blue eggs, nothing would do until I got me some blue and green egg chickens. Americaunas they called them. I had to wait two months and earn some credit on my so-called credit card before I could send away for the chicks, and when I got the phone call from the local...

In November or December of last year we loaded up fifteen weanling pigs and took them to Sarasota to be viewed by a 4-H group for potential fair pigs.

I have a Kubota B8200 which has 16pto hp. Just wondering what members thoughts were as to which tiller is best for my tractor. I can get a KingKutter 48" for $999 with 0% for 6mos at local TSC. Have looked at Land Pride and Befco also, but are more expensive. Even though the paint on the...

I just drained what I hope was the hydraulic fluid from the drain plug that was to the left and just in front of the PTO spline. I drained about 5 gallons which was brown and milky and replaced it with 5 gallons of fresh fluid into the dipstick hole beside the gearshift on the transmission. NOW...

Got it today, looks great but several disappointments. 1) delivered bone dry on fuel 2) accessory lighting wires draped across the three point 3) forgot the manual 4) delivery person didn't know the machine, no intro 5) couldn't detach the FEL, the plate won't rotate with the lever after the...

I plan to buy a trailer for my BX2200 in the future. I plan to get a 16 foot with two axles...at least one with brakes. My question concerns the plug to the vehicle. I noticed that there are 6 and 7 pin/wire connectors. What is the difference between the two?

Thanks for reading my post, I am a newcomer here and also a newcomer to the compact/subcompact tractor market. I am in the market for a BX1500 (I think for my 1.1 mowing acres and bladework/tilling/light plowing needs an 1800/2200 would be overkill. 15hp diesel with 4wd and diff lock should...

The 3Pt lift is stuck in the full up position regardless of lever position. Took a quick look and the lever seems to be attached to rod coming out of the top of the case in the rear. Does anyone have any suggestions? Rich

Just when I thought things had worked themselves out...the local Kubota dealer faxed me today and came way down on the 2410 (24HP)...for 11,600.00. I had decided to move up from the 4010 to the 4110, and the Deere dealer is at $11,000 for the 4110 HST, and $12,500 for the 4115. How's the...

I want to swap the ag tires on my L3010 in favor of R4 tires. Anyone have any idea how much it would cost me to do this, assuming I just purchased new wheels and tires from the dealer? I have not had much luck finding any used tires. Any idea on how much my ag tires are worth, with only about...

Are there any physical differences to distinguish between a 2002 BX2200 and a 2003 BX2200 model year?

I just purchased a rough 501 sickle bar mower--7 footer. I tore it down and have all the compents working. I have look d locally but havent been able to find knives, guards and guides for the ford 501. Does anyone know where I can order these online? Also looking for a copy of an owners/shop...

Does anyone know where to get a rear hydraulic kit for L3130 with out going through Kubota, or if there is a dealer that is not trying to make their years income on one sale?

Is the MF 210 a good tractor? Are parts easy to get? How many HP would it have? I have ans Iseki and am finding parts a little hard to get. Any information would be appreciated. Don

I was down in some mushy dirt with the Bx22 when I was trying to pull out, but the wheels would not turn over, I couldent figure out what was wrong, I looked down and noticed that I was in high gear, put it in low, pulled right out. I dont guess any damage can occur from this, or can it? Im...

I have asked my Dealer about getting the arm rest kit for the 4410 I have on order. It is not listed as an option and he is seeing why. The kit is part number LVB25169. The JD parts page shows the same seat LVA12330 for the 4410 and the 4710. The arm rest kit is listed with the 4710 but not...

So, as I'm reading all the useful information here on TBN, I've got odd little ideas forming in the dark recesses of my brain... As near as I can gather at this point if I buy a single unit to do everything I need (tractor/loader/backhoe) I'm going to spend anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000...

Hi All, We'll I've got about 24 hours on my TC40D now and this weekend it was acting a bit strange. After bush hogging for about an hour I started back to the house. As I was working my way back the tractor died on me. I had dropped the throttle down PTO/cutter still engaged to pickup some...

I have a YM1601D that has 6 "idiot lights" in addition to the guages! They are arranged in 2 rows of 3. The one in the lower left seems to have a picture of a radiator with a line drawn through it to indicate coolant level. It has started coming on & flashing all the time I use the tractor...

I know this has been discussed at length.... But. I've taken a look in the archives and could not find the answer I'm looking for. I have a BX22 that I don't plan to mow with. The tractor is too big for the obstructions in my 2 acres of grass, and the ride is uncomfortable at speed. This is...

I've been looking at JD and Kubota ,reading your discussions on each model, lot of info from all. The part I'm having trouble with is which one to get, the deler I have been talking to handles both tractors so its easy to compare models side by side. The JD 4310 430 fel, 72 mmm, mid- pto, 3rd...

Does anyone know where PTO shafts can be purchased? The shaft connecting my 540 PTO on a Kubota 2910 to a Sitrex 300 spreader has failed. The shaft was manufactured by Binacchi of Italy. I did a Google search and did not come up with any leads. jb.mcvey@cox.net

I have seen Kubota Orange paint on the shelf at my dealer. I have worn some paint off of my hydraulic arms tilt and dump the bucket from hauling brush. I know that it isn't going to hurt anything if I don't but I want to just to keep it looking like new. The only thing I don't care about the...

Just wanted your opinion about the necessity of cleaning the underside of the mower deck after cutting ,especially with all of the moisture lately...I don't. Will this lead to premature rusting of the deck ?? I never see the "pros" cleaning their equipment after cutting. What do you guys...

If I can find \'em I asked the husband, when's the last time you checked the garden to see if there's anything to eat in there? "I think I might have some tomatoes in there", says he, "if I can find em. I thought I'd see if I could build me a raft or maybe put water wings on the tractor, and...

By today the road is a quagmire of the worst sort. Weve had well over ten inches of rain the last two weeks, I don't know for sure, I stopped keeping count. Jill got stuck coming in Friday night at eleven o'clock, way at the end of the road. When she didn't show up for her eleven o'clock curfew...

I have a mower that has a single cylinder, single hydraulic hose hook up that is used to raise and lower the blade as well as provide minor position control of the blade height in relationship with the contour of the ground. The hydraulic cylinder is used to raise and lower the blade unit when...

I donnot think I made my self clear on my last post.What I was asking was do I go with the stock BL4690A kubota backhoe or a frame mounted aftermarket hoe instead?? The dealer said that the frme mounted bh"s are a lot stronger.Is this true???

I am looking at a L1801 ,which i believe is the same. It has 750 hours and looks in good condition. Is this model any good and is there anything I should look for in particular? I would like to fit turf tyres, are there any good ideas for adapting truck tyres/rims? Its 2wd

I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the DK55C in hopes that it would fit all my needs. The DK50C seemed to have what it takes but I wanted to go one knotch up just to make sure I had the power I needed. Well, now that the DK55C's are out I was surprized to find that the DK55C's prices are...

Finally was able to get outside and enjoy using my BX2200 at sundown today listening to the swish of cut grass. Have about 27 hours on her now and this tractor ceases to amase me with its manueverability and sweet power band!!....best investment that I ever made!!!

Ok,I am ready to buy a 7800 but I am not sure what hoe to get.Do I get a bush hog with a ram or a kubota with a chain.Please advise me before I order the hoe for the tractor.Thanks guys for all your inputs.....P.S they ars about the same price

Can anyone reccomend new kioti or aftermarket rims/wheels for the LB 1914...hopefully close to Virginia.

I have just bought a Grey market tractor and having problems with 4WD.First when I used it things were fine then it started to pop in the front wheels and it wouldn't pull with the front axle so I just started playing with the 4WD lever and finally it started to work again.After awhile it...

....just sit and watch your chickens? I may be easy to entertain but mine are fascinating. Some of them free roam, so many times all I need to do is glance out the window to get a show from the comfort of the a/c. What I've noticed most is the way the roosters care for their flock. I just saw...

Hi, I think this is an owning/operating question... I have regretted buying the 5' RFM with my B2910...Should have got a 6 footer. Then, I sort of like MMMs for my short weeds, as right now we probably only have an acre of grass to cut, with a number of obstructions. I will have more as I...

Mahindra 6000 Personal Review My Mahindra 6000 4X4 now has about 70 hours on it. It is equipped with a Front End Loader and it is used here on the ranch to do anything a tractor should be able to do and more. I have pulled portable out buildings and even pulled a friends Chevy 1-ton 4X4 out...

I am looking for some strong, heavy duty sway chains for my YM1300D they need to be rather short as the tractor and the 3point hitch is relatively small. The chains tha came with the 3 point hitch conversion are not adjustable and it is a pain to change the length for different implements...

I need to top up the gearbox in the 4 blade Scorpion cutter/shredder that came with my Iseki tractor. Anybody know what it takes? I don't have a manual. Gary Bates

A little known fact about my already warped personality is that I have a phobia. It's stupid and dumb but it is just as phobia-ish as the fear of heights. It's the fear of getting stuck in the mud. The lengths I will go to to prevent getting stuck in the mud are generally more damaging than...

Sent you a PM.

I'm about ready to buy a new B7800 but came across the above for $20,000 firm, about 15 miles from where I live. I'd love any opinions on a comparison of these units. New with backhoe, regular bucket backhoe and rear mower, my local price for the B7800 is $25,000. I'm on 8 acres, somewhat...

Anyone have problems with the Woods RM90-2 sheave bearings coming apart? I've now replaced 3 sheaves as the pulleys can't be greased and they have burnt up.

I've been wrestling with buying a tractor for nearly 3 months now trying to make up my mind whether to go green, orange, blue or even red. For the past month since signing on with TBN I've been trying to absorb the wealth of information available spending nearly 3 to 4 hours every night reading...

Blue\'s back at home I got my baby back today with the loader installed and have already extracted one loose pine stump, fixed a pot hole in the neighbors drive, back drug my own drive, and that's after I got home at 5:00p. Yes, I'm one happy boy. The only problem is that the wife has already...

I've been causually looking for a TC29D or TC33D and came across a used 2001 TC29D. Were there any changes to this model between 2001 and 2003? Are there any know problems with the 2001 model? It has approx 160 hours on it and appears to be in like new condition. The lack of 4 horses doesn't...

Looking at a MF1455v with FEL, dual remotes, and steel canopy. Dealer says $24K. Does that sound reasonable? Also, any advise on the tractor/FEL itself? Owners out there? Thanks for your time and help.

G1800 won\'t start G1800 Kubota diesel will not start. have replace ign switch, and the combination box, bypassed the seat switch, checked wiring with test light all seems good - can get it to turn over by "jumping" the starter - so believe starter is good - ran well, trailered it, hauled it 1...

Just delivered an hour ago. I was getting worried because they were having problems installing the engine block heater. Just as I gave up hope for today, the salesman drove in with her! Here's the front view.

I am on the hunt for a New and or Newer used Diesel 3/4 ton 4x4 truck. Just wanted to know if anyone had any opinions on the particular brands. I am kinda leaning towards the new quieter Dodge Cummins or the New Ford 6.0 powerstroke with the new tranny. I have been looking used also but they are...

If you had a direct link to the old message board it won't work now because the new board isn't in world crossing. Go to the CTOA home page and click on "New Message Board" link and you will get there (usually). The old stuff isn't back yet and few of the old members have posted yet. The board...

We have a L35 with the BT900 backhoe. Does anybody know if other brand buckets will fit. We are looking for a 12 inch bucket, hopefully used. All I can find is new for $600.00, that seems a bit steep. We have bought used buckets for our JD 510 for a bout half that. Any suggestions would be...

Kubota BT900 12\" bucket I have been looking for a used 12" bucket for our L35. No luck. I live in San Diego and am willing to have one shipped from almost anywhere, any ideas?

Hi fellas. I have a good friend who has a JD 3020 that has a hydraulic fluid leak. It is leaking where the pin goes through the yoke that suports the draft arms. Does anyone know if this can be repaired without splitting the tractor? The tractor is in use now and he hasent had a chance to...

This is my first time posting, although I have been lurking for about 2 months, and I must say this is a great site: very helpful. I bought my new TC33D a month a go and am very pleased with it. I have a NH 451 sickle-bar mower that I would like to attach to this tractor. Attaching and...

I have an Iseki/Bolens G154 / TX1300F 4WD, 15HP Diesel, Serial #01110 G Does anyone have the resources to tell me what year model this tractor is. Haven't been able to find it anywhere. Thanks in advance.

I tried to use my FEL to level out a high spot in the lawn. I ended up digging in and making a lot of ruts with the tires. I had a hard time breaking the sod and getting down to soil. I have seen great examples on how to brush hog, does any one know the tricks for using a FEL for this job. Is...

I need a new voltage regulator/limiter for my YM 186D. I do not have the Yanmar part number. On the Yanmar part, the manufacturer's information is "12V Type Regulator, RS 51013J5, Kokusan Denki, Japan". I found a John Deere regulator that also has six wires leading into a plastic connector and...

I see different HP ratings for the 3TNE84 in diff. JD tractors. 30/25 in the 790 and 32/27 in the 4310. Do they have different injectors, inj. pumps or is the pump just turned down?

I'm new here (my first post) and already ready to take the plunge. Visited a local K dealer here in Northern California and came away with the idea that there's not much wiggle room if any in pricing new K's. $24185 for the tractor, a big FEL, rear mower, backhoe, and box scraper. In Calif, I...

I'm looking at a 1992 580 Super K, EROPS, Extand-a-hoe at an auction this weekend. It is being sold off by a local utility company. It is described as in "fair" condition, and from the one photo it looks as if its probably been somewhat cannibalized. The tires look good. It has a "bad" engine...

HI, Cross slope safety seems to be an on going owning/operating concern. I came across this image on a site related to Unimogs. Click here to see a tilt table in action Since the image is called tilt table 10, 20, 30 degrees...I assume that the steepest angle is 30 degrees, and having...

A Kubota \"Thank You\" story... Once upon a time.. I posted a request for my father who was trying to decide on a compact, and received several messages and advice posts which I forwarded so he could make an easier decision. They were friendly and helpful and allowed him to narrow down...

Dang I just bought they X585 and after reading all these posts re: 2210 and 4110, I'm kind of kicking myself for buying the X585. Where were you guys when I bought this thing?

The CTOA site is back up. It looks like Hal lost all of the previous post..... That is a real shame, a whole lot of good info there.

I have a 4410 ordered with R4 tires. I currently have a 4310 with R3 tires which I'm trading. The R3 tires have served me well. I have been reading about many that have decided on the R4. I have been following a recent post in the general buying forum on weight for loader work versus mowing...

There is a Plasma welder from a company in Minnesota that I am trying to find some information on. Here are two links for it, one the international one: http://www.multiplaz.com and their US company: http://www.enviplaz.com/ . Obviously it has some wow style marketing fluff. I am interested...

Hi All, Well I've been lurking for quite some time now and I must say this has to be the most informative, curteous, sharing, helpful and kind group of people I've come across online. It seems we all have a common goal of cooperative learning. I'd like to thank you all for all the information...

I just purchased a Mitsu 2201 fd, 25hp, 4cyl. 3point PTO with new Cold Water Loader recently for $8800. Hydrolics didn't work so they gave me a new Jinma 184, 18 hp, 2cyl with same loader. New withrollbar, canopy PS I need to know if the machines are of equal quality. One reason I bought...

Anyone currently have a subscription to this magazine? We have been getting it for a couple of years now and we really enjoy it. No advertisements and I think it costs about $10/year. Issues come out out every 2 months or 6 times a year. Each issue features 4 farm or ranch families who keep...

Anyone have a problem with the front clutched pulley that drives the mower deck etc. on a John Deere 345 shear off? The bolt holding the pulley onto the driveshaft sheared off and getting the bolt out was a major project. I was wondering if it is a design flaw or just wear and tear. I have...

The last time I used my L3010 HST I noticed a little fluid leaking around my right front tire. It was the first time I had noticed it dripping, but it only left about a 2" diameter spot on the concrete. After using it yesterday for some landscaping I noticed that it left a bigger spot, probably...

Does $400.00 sound fair for 50 hr, servicing performed by a dealer? This was from a dealer who did not sell the machine. Just wondering what the average cost for this scheduled maintenance has been around this forum. Thks.

Well I solved my storage problem the moment as my tc would not fit in the garage. It went back to the store, but only 'cuz it was leaking hydro fluid all over the place. it should come back soon and I will be in the same tight spot. I called N/H yesterday and there is NO folding rops for this...

Just curious how common it is for Kubota engines to sweat oil? I've seen several used units that have a fair amount of seepage and maintain a few Kubota engines at work that do the same. It's not enough to drip, just sweating from several gaskets as if they're made out of candle wicks. Anyway...

Has anyone got the aftermarket filter number for the transmission/hydraulic filter for the 240D?

Why does the states or at least my state not offer free vacinations for this terrible disease ? I know they throw baited vacines out of helicopters/airplanes on occasion to wildlife,but why charge citizens to have there animals vacinated for such a deadly disease ? A lot of people we be more...

I've been watching the board for a few months now, and really appreciate the help I've received so far. I've got about 4 acres of easy mowing and have been looking at both the JD4010 as well as the B7500, with either MMM or RFM. I like the 4010, but the local dealer I think is high...$10,850...

I have a TN65 that has served me well, but I think I might trade for a TC45 4wd with FEL. The TN65 is too heavy for me to trailer safely without upgrading my truck/trailer. The heavy duty jobs that I had have pretty much been finished up and I think the TC45 would handle my box blade/dirt...

Today on my lunch break I took delivery of an L3830!! It was such a thrill to see the delivery truck driving up my driveway. My salesman delivered it and went over everything about the tractor and implements. Unfortunately, I had to leave to go back to work and didn't get to play (oh, I mean...

Who\'s got what????.... Just wondering who has what model and possibly the serial and engine build date. I'm kind of interested as I picked up the 6000 4WD with FEL a couple of weeks ago. I'll start: Model: 6000 4WD Mods: FEL MDL 264/fluid in rear tires/7ft brush hog Serial # RS 1457 Eng...

I've got a Ford 8N with a 12 volt conversion. It has ran perfect for years before I started using it (it was my father's tractor). It has always been apparent that the wiring was a mess on it, but there was no reason to do anything about it until it quit running last week. This was a...

I've been putting off buying fence tools ever since we closed on this place. I knew we would need them some day. We have several miles of three, four, and five strand barbed wire fences. I was just too busy aquiring more important items. Fate has caught up with me though. I found a broken...

Anyone have an idea how to keep the front grill screens from clogging up with weed seeds etc. when mowing high grass? The screen over the radiator also gets clogged, but the outside grill clogs up fast. I have to stop every 10 to 15 minutes to clean off the grill screen on the front to keep...

Any ideas on how to prevent exhaust soot from blowing onto the grillguard of my bx2200?? It would have been nice if kubota would have designed this (location of exhaust) a little bit better. Any ideas??? Has anyone heard of an aftermarket 'exhaust stack" that would fit the bx2200??

I was wondering if any of the Kioti dealers have been receiving their CK20's for stock yet? I have talked to my local dealer who said he won't see one until mid July I really would like to try before I buy. The other thing I was wondering, can those who already have CK20's give me an update on...

I am in the market for a PTO chipper, for my soon to be delivered JD 4310. Does anyone have any specific recommendations as to brand, etc. Thanks in advance.

Driver\'s nightmare..... 'Driver' is my daughter's twelve week old curr pup. I was sitting here a little while ago and I heard him start howling and yipping, crying out in pain is what it sounded like. I jumped up and ran out on the back porch expecting to find him in the jaws of a Bear or...

Is anyone here familiar with them or involved with them in any way?

I picked up a 1720 this spring. I like it, nice addition to the rest of the tractors on the farm. I am very much used to swinging drawbars on the rest of my tractors, makes hooking implements up easier. The 1720 just has a drawbar, no movement of it. Where there any other options for this...

Hi All, I've been lurking on the forums for several months trying to decide on the tractor I need. I have a 2 acre yard and another 15 acres we mow three or four times a year. I think I have settled for a 4110. The dealer in our area has one with a FEL, 60" MMM, cruise, hydrostatic, R4 tires...

Can anyone tell me how to tell what year my tractor is?

Does anyone own one ?

I posted a funny little tidbit then, deleted it...I thought maybe it might be a little too risque....but I thought it was cute,I will e-mail it to anyone including the moderators who might like a little chuckle. Steel_Wheels

Happened to notice that Branson now has details on their rotary cutters posted on their Web Site. The standard duty model looks to be exactly the same as the Kodiak cutter I have, so I guess that's who they are getting that particular series of implements from. I think they made a good choice...
