Not been on the forum in a long time, but wanted to visit again to post this. I bought Top N Tilt cylinders for my Kubota L3800 from Brian at Fit Rite back in 2013. They (along with valves to operate them) have by far been the best money I've spent to date on my tractor. About 6 months or so...

New Titan BX42 owner - yea I'm pissed ETA - so was wiping the chipper down today and greasing it and could not find the serial #. Called wallenstein dealer to ask where the tag is and noticed the chipper doesn't have a serial # tag or a wallenstein sticker on it. It was listed as such in the...

So, I've got 82ac that is 90% wooded. I've cleared trees in several areas for different things (shooting range, go kart track, etc). I have an old LinkBelt excavator my FIL loaned me a year or so ago that I use to just push the trees over and drag them to a pile. So now I've got a few big brush...

WOW, there should be a sticky about this stuff! Ran across mention of Fluid Film here and found Lowes carries it. Picked up 2 cans and used it on everything that doesn't have a grease zerk on my tractor. 3pt lift arms, HF QH levers and linkage, seat rails and suspension, every linkage joint...

Kubota L3800, rears are 72" wide outside edge of tread. Would use the grading scraper for gravel driveway (not road) maintenance as well as smoothing our dirt go kart track and general land leveling. What width would you guys recommend? 72" or 84"? I am most likely going to go with a Woods...

I've built my boys a dirt oval go kart track and need something to smooth it out with. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a land plane or whatever. Back in the day when I raced karts, the track owners would drag an old box spring with tires and concrete blocks on it around the track, but...

I've had it little over a year now maybe and few days ago I was using the rear blade and heard a pop and looked back to find the mount for the hook had broken completely off the frame. It looked as though a weld was getting water in it and caused the eventual failure. Both my box blade and rear...

So, I've got a Kubota L3800, R1's set out all the way, filled and already have 3" spacers. Total rear width is 68" measured at outside of tread. It does pretty good mowing on the side slopes (can't go up and down all the time, plus it causes ruts) but I need a little more stability. Slopes I...

Actually picked up 2 plates for my tractor at an auction today. Gimmie some ideas what to build for them!! I need some brush forks but don't like the idea of "wasting" a plate dedicated to be brush forks. But I do have 2, I guess. Thought about fixing a Quick Hitch on one of them to be able...

So, been out of town since getting the Prince SV valve and TnT setup installed. When the 3ph is lifted, my BB will leak down about 1/16" per 2 seconds on the tilt cylinder and about 1/16" per 5 seconds on the top link cylinder. I've isolated the cylinders (unplugged the hoses at the QC) and the...

I run the HF QH and on occasion have had it contact the PTO shaft of my LandPride finish mower. It only happens when I am backing up a bank. The deck starts up the bank and as it rises the PTO shaft comes in contact with the bottom of the QH. Makes a vibration something awful for sure. I thought...

Guys, I have an idea about a contraption to mow the water edge of my pond bank with. Something on the 3pt like a carryall or pallet forks, but with a frame of square tubing that extends out to the sides of the tractor XX Feet. Attach a push mower deck on one side and counter weight on the other...

Bush Hog 7' blade. Looks to be an older version of the 70 Series blade - like this Dirt Dog 7007-70 7Ft. 70 Series Tractor Grader Blade - McGee Farm Equipment, Inc. I'm going to look at it tomorrow. ...

Called my dealer today and asked for a quote to order R1 tires and wheels, with rear tires filled for my tractor. I have 50hr on my tractor and the R4's look barely used, been on grass and dirt mostly and pavement once. Dealer called back and quoted me the following.... $500 and my R4...

I got these in yesterday. Made a bracket out of some 1/8" sheet and bent it in a "V" for the one on the dash. The other one I just stuck on the RH ROPS. I used 3M Dual-Lock to mount them. I'd wondered how steep some parts I mow are. A spot in my front yard is 15* but feels completely different...

I have a Kubota L3800 with FEL. I am wanting to add a Top-n-Tilt setup but want to take my time and plan this out and try and get it "right" (not have regrets) the first time. There isn't a lot of room on the L3800 to mount the valves in a clean way and I'd really like to use a loader type...

Needed a little weight when using the RC without the FEL on hills. I am going to build a bumper / tie-rod protector but didn't want it to be too heavy. My front tires are 27x8.50-15 R4's. I used window washer fluid and each tire held right at 6.5gal. That's about 108# of front weight that is on...

I am thinking I need to get a box blade to use behind my Kubota L3800. It is 4x4, HST and has FEL. I will be using the BB for hard packed gravel driveway maintenance (100yd long), dirt access road that runs back into the woods on my property (1 mile long maybe), cutting drainage ditches, and...

I went with Flood beam for the rear work lights and the rock lights and Spot beam for the front lights. All are 27W versions. Now that I have both versions side by side, if I had it to do over I think I'd get the Spot beam for the rear work lights too. It isn't as much of a true Spot as I...

Guys, in need of some help here. I want to install a horn and work lights on my tractor. I am VERY SET on it looking like a factory install as much as possible. I know the quick and dirty way is to just run to the local parts store and get a switch and put it in, but that ain't me. I want to...

So, I had a M116A3 chassis (pickup truck size) that I wasn't really using for anything and a couple of M105's (2-1/2 ton truck size) that I don't use since selling the M35 that I pulled them with. I needed a "farm trailer" to pull behind my tractor and decided to take the bed off the M105 and...

Guys, we bought some property a couple months ago and we have a ridge that is cleared off and there is now fairly tall hay all over it. I started to bush hog it and made two strips down it (for my boys to ride their dirtbikes) and then got to thinking, "this looks an awefull lot like hay and...

Ive got a white plastic 55g drum that I use for fuel. When empty I haul it to the gas station and put about 25g in it and use the tractor to unload and carry it to the tack barn I keep it in. In the drum I use a harbor freight hand (crank) pump with a 1" by 6' full hose. I just pull the tractor...

I am thinking of building a ballast box and have been looking at threads and pics and getting ideas that I may want to include if I do go ahead with it. However, all the ones I see, look to me, to have the weight when carried above the axle centerline? Has anyone ever built a low slung box...

Kubota L3800, 66" QA bucket, R4 tires. 60" RC and 72" FM I want to get wheel spacers to make the tractor more stable for mowing along slopes. Choices I see (that aren't too expensive) are 2", 2.5" and 3" spacers for each side. From what I've read my tractor should be right at 60" wide at the...
