    I have the opportunity to purchase an Athens Model 48 Disc but had a few questions I was hoping someone could answer. See photos below. Thanks for your help. Would this disc pair well with my Kubota L4701 with loaded ag tires? One of the outside disc blades is broken off. Are these difficult...

    What is the purpose of having a Hydraulic Oil Filter and a Transmission Oil Filter?

    I was looking at my scheduled maintenance for my Kubota L4701 and noticed there is a Hydraulic Oil Filter to be changed at 400 hours and a transmission oil filter to be changed at 50 and 200 hours. Why are there two filters for the same type of fluid? Are those fluids isolated from each other...

    Kubota L4701 Sometimes Stalls When Moving Forward with HST Pedal

    This winter I've been having a problem with the tractor where it starts fine, and then when I press the HST pedal to move forward it stalls. If I leave off the pedal quickly it will not stall and RPMs will come back up. Interestingly, when pressing the pedal for reverse it does not stall. Is...

    3 Point Hitch Only Raises When Curling Bucket Up

    WR Long 3rd Function Kit Hydraulic Coupler Style

    I recently received my WR Long 3rd Function Kit and realized it has the ag connectors rather than the flat faced style. I think I'd prefer that style since I already have an attachment with that style and it's worked well when I've used it on a skid steer. How easy is it to switch the ag...

    BCS 853 Transmission Oil

    I have some confusion about what type of transmission oil to use in my BCS 853. I bought some Autozone 80w-90 GL5 Gear Oil, but after some research saw that I should be using a gear oil safe for yellow metals. Does anyone know if what I bought is safe or have a recommendation of something I...

    BCS 853 & BCS Snowblower with Honda GX390 Throttle Engine Speed Issues

    I bought a BCS 853 2 wheeled tractor this fall and am having some problems with it when snowblowing. The GX390 engine starts up with no problem and responds properly to the throttle for a while. It also has plenty of power when snow blowing. However, after snowblowing for about a half hour...

    BCS Flail Mower vs Berta Flail Mower

    I was curious why the Berta flail mower seems much more popular than the BCS flail mower. The pricing seemed similar. Is there a big difference in quality or other advantages or disadvantages of each?
