i have a 25' X 50' garden. i want to keep out the deer and woodchucks. i want to install an electric fence. i'll need to put one wire at about 30" up and one at about 6". has anyone used this kit? would it be sufficient? i know i will have to add some wire to it for the size of my garden, but...

hi. i was reading on the KK website that the 4 ft tiller, model TG-48, is offset to cover tire tracks. does anyone know how much from center it is offset? i was wondering if it would cover the R4's on my kubota L 3130. thanks.

with a box blade, could the top link be shortened, the teeth dropped down as low as they will go, and used as a harrow on a small garden plot?

how much can i expect to spend on a new land pride BB2584 box scraper? thanks.

hi all. i have a gravel driveway about 500 feet long. once a year i would like to smooth out the ruts and bumps, sort of "grade" it. i back dragged it with my bucket, and the results were acceptable, but seemed like quite an effort. which implement would do a better job, and why - a york...

hypothetical question. if i had some diesel fuel in a 5 gallon container, and it gelled up due to cold weather, would it be ok to use it after it "thawed" out? or does the act of gelling somehow deteriorate the diesel in any way? thanks.

ok. the thing is running! and it splits wood just fine. i have a hydraulic cylinder with a 4 inch bore and 18 inch throw. i have an 11 gpm pump. i calculated it should take 5.3 seconds to move the cylinder all the way in one direction. does this sound right? it is actually taking 12...

hey all. i would like to sharpen my cordwood saw. i'd like to try it myself, and manually (no power grinders). does anyone have any info on proper angles, what type of file to use, and where i might possibly purchase a file guide to get the angles right every time? any tips would be much...

hi all, ok this has probably been brought up before. can home heating oil be used in my kubota for emergency purposes? would it have to be mixed with something like kerosene, and in what proportions, along with any additives like PS? thanks.

a recent post said he bent his 3ph arms while dragging trees attached to his t-bar on the 3ph. this kind of concerns me, as i plan on doing the same type of work. has anyone else experienced the same problem? if so, why or under what circumstances does it happen, and what can i do to avoid...

took delivery today on: Kubota L 3130 HST, LA723 FEL w/ QA, Woods 72" HD bucket, Diamond 7 1/2 ft snowplow, Woodsman cordwood saw, large ballast box,t-bar (so far!) i want to personally thank all who have been so patient with my questions which led to the purchase i made today. check out the...

will adding power service to summer blend diesel keep it from gelling?

does kubota make a skid plate for the L3130? if so, how much does it cost, and is this something relatively easy to install myself? thanks.

R4\'s on a L3130 i've read where r4's don't tear up the lawn so much. however, the weight of the tractor will start to affect that situation at some point. will filled r4's on a L3130 with LA723 FEL, bucket, and weight box still be "ok" for protecting the lawn, or is this arrangement going to...

i went to the dealers place today and looked around. love to do that on a sunday when no sales people are present. i'm leaning pretty heavily toward a L3400. i noticed on some L3400's, just above the rear wheel fender, it says "4WD". on others it says "HST". but never hst AND 4wd. if it says...

does anyone know what the heighth clearance is on a L3400 with R4's and a foldable ROPS, with the rops folded down? i want to make sure this is not too tall to fit into my garage. thanks.

i'm trying to compare these two. i see on the specs the L3130 has an independent pto, and the L3400 has a live continuous with ORC. could someone please explain the difference? i've also read on other posts, a problem with the ORC (sort of like the shuddering on the 3ph issue). does anyone...

hi all. on the kubota site, they list the L3400 with AG tires as having a minimum clearance of 13.4 inches. the dealer tells me that putting R4's on will lower the tractor and reduce the clearance. does anyone know what the min clearance would be on a L3400 with R4's? thanks.

i've read on other posts that the L2800 has some shuddering 3ph lift issues. does anyone know if the L3400 has the same problem? thank you.

i'm looking at the specs for a b3030 on the kubota website. on the 3ph, they say the lift capacity at the lift point is 1655 lbs. 24 inches behind the lift point, it is 1676 lbs. doesn't make any sense. does anyone know what the true lift capacity is 24 inches behind the lift point? also, it...

was considering getting a B3030. snow plowing will be one of its chores. i have about 500 feet of driveway to plow. i see on the kubota web site, they have a front blade attachment for the 3030 with power angle. does anyone know what the price, quality, and weight difference would be between...

hi. i've read several posts where they say it is unhealthy for the front gears to pull a heavy load in reverse. it often times will result in a situation with a broken front gear, because they're made to pull in forward, not reverse. what about just carrying a load, instead of pulling? with...

with a b3030, and filled r4 tires, is a 3ph snowblower enough weight on the back end to offset a curtis 6 1/2 foot snowplow on the front? thanks.

price check on a new kubota tooth bar for a 54 inch bucket?thanks.

i have a garden tractor, 13 hp honda, and one thing i use it for is to drag behind me a leaf sweeper. it's mechanically driven by its own wheels and brushes the leaves into a hopper. you've probably seen them. mine is 42" wide i believe. do they make larger versions of these things for, say...

i've read on the forum that plowing the snow with a front blade on a tractor can be a risky thing because supposedly if the blade strikes something solid and immovable, it might bend the frame or something on the tractor. a friend of mine told me plows for trucks have a spring loaded strip at...

i see all the posts about the L2800 having 3ph lift shudders. does the B3030 have this same problem at all or does it have the better valve?

i've read a lot of the pros and cons of hst vs. gear as far as choice of transmission, including intended uses. however, how do the two compare as far as cost of maintainence, and cost of repair should something break down in the tranny? is an HST something that is reliable and will go 30...

does anyone know if this attachment would be good for working with fall leaves? i see that you can angle some of these, and would think you could angle the sweeper and push the leaves from one end of the lawn to the other? any thoughts? anyone tried it? thanks.

i've seen on the forum members talking of excessive vibration problems with some of the B3030's. has anyone seen or know of the same problem with the B2910? thanks.

i saw someone on the forum discussing a grapple bucket to move piles of brush. is this what they're made for? what do they look like? are they an attachment on the bucket or a separate specialty bucket? want to know what these are for and if they'd be useful for what i need (which is moving...

hey all. i'm interested in moving pallets of firewood and wanted to make sure i have enough lifting capacity. i know there are a lot of variables, but does anyone have a ballpark number on how much a 4' x 4' x 4' pallet of green firewood (oak) weighs, including the hardwood pallet too? thanks.

often i will see a tractor model that has a mid PTO as standard equipment on the HST version, but if you want the gear version, it is a "dealer installed option". anyone got a ballpark figure for how much this type of option would cost on a gear model?

hey all. all things being equal, that is from the same dealer, what should be the price difference between the gear version of each model?

hey all. if i'm not mistaken after looking at the specs, the L2800 doesn't have a front power blade, with power lift and angle, available. is this right? any way to put one on? it seems the L2800 is heavier than the deluxe "B" series tractors, and this would make it better for plowing snow. i...

with all factors being the same(that is, from the same dealer)does anyone know which is the more expensive tractor and by how much, the L2800 HST or the B3030. also, what should the difference be between an L2800 HST and L2800 gear. thanks

Hi all. New to TBN, and comparing specs. Could someone please explain exactly what is meant by "breakout force" when it is listed on FEL's? Does it have anything to do with how much weight it can lift? thanks for the education, i appreciate it.

hi. i'm new to TBN, but like all the great info and ideas. thinking about purchasing a tractor next spring and been doing a little research on the specs. i'm leaning toward an L2800, possibly gear driven, with an FEL. i plan on eventually rototilling several small gardens, FEL work to move a...
