    Anyone using a MMM with a B2650 to mow grass?

    Well, since no one has replied to your post with the specific setup you are asking about, I will give you my .02c about something close. I have a B3030 with a 60" mmm. I think it does a good job as a lawnmower. It is a bit on the heavy side if you are looking for a show place lawn. If the ground...

    B3030 4th Birthday

    For my 2005 B3030's 4th Birthday I gave it a fresh charge of SUDT & filters plus a wash & wax. I had it delivered 4 years ago this weekend and 305 hrs ago. It has been a real joy to own and operate on my 3.5 acres. It has done everything I have asked of it and I am still amazed how versatile it...

    Tires  Sweaty Tires

    We have a major thaw and warmup here in West Michigan after weeks of temps in the 20s or lower. Got up to 63* on Monday. I walked into the barn where I keep my B3030 last night and noticed the tires. You can easily tell the level of the Rimguard now. The fluid stays colder than the air and the...

    Brushfork Mod for my B3030

    I have a stand of red pines along the back edge of my property, my guess is about a 1/4 acre or so. I also have lots of other trees, elm, maple & oak on my 3.5 acres. The red pines are getting old and one or two of them die every year and fall down when the wind blows hard. After the most recent...

    My Gatorblade Experience

    There has certainly been a lot of raves about Gatorblades here. I thought I would start my own thread about my Gatorblade experience since it seems my results have been different than the majority. Most guys talk about how well they work on the BX series and how they need adapters to fit. I have...

    Look what I found in the brush

    I was helping my 82 year old neighbor take down a dead tree on our property line a couple of weeks ago. While I was on his side of the fence I noticed some old iron in the fencerow. It was an old (Ford?) 3PTH 2 section drag harrow. I have lived here for 17 years and this was only about 200 feet...

    Mowing  Mowing with a 318

    Could someone please explain how to get a 318 with the 50" deck to do a good job? I saw on another thread where someone said it would be hard to beat the mowing quality of a "well tuned 318". I have had a 318 with a 50" deck since 1990 and have never been too impressed with how it mows. It...

    Electric Motor Starters

    I recently found a deal on a used 3HP heavy-duty air compressor. I have it hooked up in my shop now and it works OK buts it really draws the amps when starting. I may not have enough electrical capacity to run it the way it should. While running it draws about 18 amps on both legs and the...

    Gator Blades and B3030 60"MMM

    I am very pleased with the performance of my RCK60-30B but because of all the mostly positive posts regarding Gator Blades I decided to order a set (part #90987) from Jack's Small Engines a while back just to give them a try. I was curious to see if they would be any better that the stock...

    Sprayer  ATV Sprayer on 3PTH

    Here are some pics of my new sprayer. I found a P&K MFG unit at a local Farm, Ranch and Home store, very similiar to TSC. It is a 25 gal. "ATV" electric pump model with a spray width of 120". It has 3 nozzles that spray 40" each. The boom folds for storage or if you hit something while spraying...

    Mowing  Mowing with a GPS

    I mowed my lawn today with a GPS mounted on the the tractor. I have a Kubota B3030 with a 60" MMM. My lawn is approximately 1.5 acres of mostly wide open area with trees that are bedded or have mulch rings around them. I can just drive around them and no extra trimming is required. Here are the...

    My B3030 grew a beard.

    This is what my grille looked liked after mowing tonight. Dang Dandelions. I have just been too busy to spray this spring. I will get them before the summer crop arrives.

    Anyone using a striping kit on a MMM?

    I have this wild hair that makes me want to put a striping kit on my 60" MMM. I have some long straight runs between my house and the road and I think it would look cool, especially since my son is a varsity baseball player. It would get the neighbors talking, anyway. They already think I am a...

    Quickie homebuilt skidshoes for Landpride RB

    I made these one day when the snow first started falling this winter. I haven't painted them yet but I will in the spring when it warms up. Built them mostly from scrap pieces I had laying around including and old receiver hitch. That is what provided the 2" square tube and the metal for the...

    Snow  Snow in Kent County

    All day yesterday the news was full of watches and "Heavy Snow Warnings" (Ooh, scary!) Sure, sure, we'll believe it when we see it. Well, it did start coming about 6:30pm and this morning we had a good amount of the heavy, wet stuff. I measured 6" on my deck table. The light, fluffy snow we had...

    Increasing FEL Bucket Size for Light Materials

    I will have a lot of bark mulch to move in the spring and am starting to think of ways to make the job go faster. I plan on having a large load dumped next to my driveway and then using the FEL to move it to the areas that need mulching. The mulch is relatively lightweight and I know my loader...

    Dash Removal: B3030

    I want to install the new 40 Amp alternator kit on my B3030 and it says to remove the dash so you can get to some of the wireing. I have the steering wheel removed but I am stuck there. The throttle lever seems to be holding me back but it looks like a lot of work to remove. There must be an...
