Box Blade for a TC35D. 72\" or an 84\" I am thinking of selling the 60" LP finish mower that came with my Kubota B8200 and getting a boxblade for the TC. A 72" blade is kind of a given, as the appropriate size to get, but have any of you gone upto an 84" blade ?

Does anybody have any experience with any of the battery tenders that are on the market ? For the $40 +/-, it seems like it would be a good and handy investment. Any thoughts or opinions ??

As many of us have discovered this winter, the cold weather can make it quite difficult to start our diesel engines. The thing thats seems to make the differance for me is to get the fuel system (componants) warm enough so that the fuel will properly ignite. I know that we have the glow plugs...

There is no lovelier a site to see, then a magnificent stallion, out in Gods elements. Free to Frolic and Play and roam the range.

I am sure that if I looked hard enough and in the right place, I could find this information on my own. But then, whats the fun in that Qstn. #1- In what catagory 3 point hitch, does the 8200 fall ? Qstn. #2- Which model(s) 0f factory kubota brand loader, would the 8200 accept ?

Did anybody else get any snow ? or did it all land in my yard. It appears to be lightening up. Finally. I have no idea ow much has actually fallen, but this was / is one heck of a first storm.

My snow plow came out of the welding shop none to soon. Attached and following are several photo's of the plow mounted to the tractor. I have a few that were taken while in the welding shop that I will post after I reduce them.

I need to better understand how to work the hydro transmission. I have never owned one and have only driven one, 1 time. The salesman said to run the throttle up by hand and then use the forward / reverse peddles. If this is correct then the throttle is always cranked up even when you come...

I am about a week away from taking delivery of my TC35D. I have the choice of either a 60" or 72" heavy duty quick tach bucket. One of the things that I found incredibly handy with my JD and it's 61" bucket was the ability to use the loader to compact my dumpster. It's amazing how much more...

Muhammad, I was looking in the "My Home" area and I noticed that the board see's me as a Veteran Member, but I only have 560 posts. Shouldn't I still be at a Platinum level until I reach 1000 posts ? Not that I am complaining, I just don't want status that I haven't earned.

I think I know what this stuff is. It has something to do with warmer weather.

Ok everybody, I need a little guidance in the 12 volt electrical department. Being the son of a Master Electrician, I feel a little stupid not being ably to figure this one out. But a little Humility never hurt anyone, so here goes. The used canopy that I recently installed on my JD 950 has...

Well !!! The mystery of my stuck PTO adapter has been solved. PARTIALLY !! I was able to remove the pin and the spring and found that it had nothing to do with the adapter being stuck on the PTO shaft. The reason I know this is because the adapter is still stuck. It is loose, it...

This was posted by a gentleman over to the CTB, So I can't and won't take any credit for creating it. But it was fun to read and most certainly is true. Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn: 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce...
