    Relieving Hydraulic pressure on Third function implements prior to disconnecting the lines.

    So for a good while I never really liked connecting up or disconnecting the third function lines to my grapple due to the hydraulic pressure contained in the lines of the implement. For me I use a grapple on my tractor quite a bit. After experimenting around I found the best thing that worked...

    Grapple  Root Rake Grapple stand or hanger when not in use?

    So I have a wicked root rake grapple from EA and when I’m not using it, I’m not sure the best way to store it is. Right now, I have it lying face down on the ground in a pole barn.

    I know I need to lose a little weight, but come on Kubota, maybe you should beef these steps up? Its a friggin’ tractor. . The stamped sheet metal step is junk IMO. I think I’m gonna just fabricate a new one out of 1/4 or even 1/8 inch plate steel. The steel of the step looks to be thinner...

    Mowing  Mower Deck Bouncing and Banging on Frame on Bx2380 when driving over minor bumps.

    Just curious if anyone has a similar issue. If I raise the deck all the way up on my Bx2380, it’ll bang against the tractor frame when driving over what I consider minor bumps in the road. No pun intended. If I lower the deck a little, the banging noise still occurs but it’s less loud. I have...

    3-Point Hitch  Starting up and running a PTO Chipper on the B2650

    So I picked up a used Mackissic PTO chipper on CL from a local farmer and ran it last week a few times. The chipper knives were pretty dull and it was a struggle to chip anything larger than about 2 inches. I orderd new knives and it ran much better after I installed them per the install...

    B2650 Exhaust residue on FEL hydraulic lines

    I notice I'm getting quite a bit of exhaust residue on the left side FEL hydraulic lines on my B 2650. I have about 50 hours on the tractor. The exhaust pipe is about 13 inches to the lines in a direct shot. I can't imagine this is good from a design perspective. The lines will definitely dry...

    Bent the right telescopic stabilizer today on my 3pt hitch. Did not notice it until I was almost done for the day. I was ripping up some roots and leveling a road that runs the back of our property. I tilted the box blade to the left most of the day. This allowed me to cut into the high side...
