I was out at my buddies farm yesterday afternoon and we notice that his 3pt hitch would leak down as soon as we turned the tractor off. It wouldnt take more than a few seconds before what ever attachment we had on the hitch to slowly go to the ground. It got dark before we could look at it but...

We are going to put in a 6ac sunflower field this yr for a dove hunt in Sept. I need some advice on how to plant them. Land is normal farm land which was beans last yr. So tilling/ discing will not be a problem. Let me start by saying I have L3240- 6ft disc, 5ft cutter, 5 ft tiller...

I had my water pump go out in my Chevy 05 2500 4x4 duramax a few weeks ago and ran across this post on a diesel forum. Instruction are dead on except the time frame. I fixed mine for about 1/4 the cost of taking it to the dealer guys! thought others might benefit from it also...

Lets see those fall plots... I have several all are oats, red & white clover, austrian peas and winter rye mix... Well one has radishes and no peas? but I dont have a picture of it... I planted all but the radish plots on Labor day with rain 18 days later and so its thin in these pics. Got good...

Planted 4 of my plots this Saturday and used the new cultipacker I made. It worked great but ran into a problem with getting my drag from one plot to another. Got tired of picking it up and throwing it on the Kawasaki mule.. I was spreading the rye, oats and winter peas in the fresh tilled dirt...

Might be a dumb question but I am planting 6 different plots this year and have 50lbs of both white and red clover. Each calls for a different lbs per acre and the way I have it figured if I apply 6-8lbs of white and 10-12 lbs of red per acre I will use both 50lbs bags with none left over. Now...

Got all my "stuff" loaded to make the 1.5hr haul to the farm. Never thought that I might need more trailer than the 20ft.. Tractor, tiller, mule, 3 ladder stands and 400lbs fertilizer..:D Thought the saftey police might want to chime in...:D This food plot stuff requires lots of equipment.. AndyG

I found this at a used car lot? I dont know much about planters so point me in the right direction.. I have read alot about JD 71 planters.. Whats the difference in this 51 planter? Any other info would be great- on planters in general... They are asking $550... AndyG

I was able to get some wheels and axel from Ken Sweet-- Thanks Ken-- I worked on it for a few days and just have to paint it now. I was able to make a 5ft with a 3pt hitch for me.. and a 4ft pull type to sell. Hopefully I can offset my cost selling the 4ft pull one... Only thing I did different...

I have a L3240-no loader- but do have front bumper with 3 weights (50 lbs each).. This past week I was unloading some stuff with the boom pole and the front tires bounced off the ground several times. I have used a 7ft disk and it felt like the front was floating just a little but they never...

Traded the 16ft I had for a new 20ft with trailer brakes. Wanted the 20ft so I could get both the tractor and Kawaski mule to the farm. Sons wants to go and wants the mule to ride-- so I worked today and fab a slide on extension/ stop for the front of the mule.. Worked pretty good and only...

ok. I have a new L3240 and I was wondering what is a ok range running the PTO when it starts to bog down. Example I had to try the new tiller out last week and the plot was wet. I put the shoes on the tiller all the way up so it would cut as deep as possible. Just wanted to see what the tiller...

All the pine logging is over and the clean up is here. We have leased this property for 23 years and seen these pines trees planted, grow up and now strip cut. The field before you get to the pines was my food plot and we knew they had to go thru it to get all the equipment set up. The loggers...

Now since we have seen several Kubota bashing posts I thought I would ask a question- In defending your tractor brand would you also defend your Mother or wife or even the family dog as strongly as you do your tractor purchase? AndyG

I have a rotary cuttery and a tiller both where bought new with slip clutches. How do I ensure that both clutches will be working fine this spring? I have heard about them locking up or just not slipping. Neither cuttery or tiller came with a slip clutch manual, so I am not sure the proper...

I have a L3240 and when loading the tractor on the trailer with the disc attached I have a lot of problem dranging the disc on the ground once I get half way up the trailer ramps.

I have a new tiller Tonutti (Itlain made) brand and the owners manual says to use SAE 90 in gear box and SAE 150 in chain drive.. My local auto parts and TSC dont carry either. All i can find is 80-90 gear oil or 75-140...NO SAE 150..Never heard of SAE 150.. whats the difference in the oils...

Here in West TN we had a amazing 4-6 inches of snow last night.. Kids out of school and play time! The Kubota is used at our farm miles away but lives with us here at the house. Couldnt stand it so I got out with the only thing I had to play with-- my box blade:D I know its not a real snow...

Whats up with the bad paint jobs on king kutter equipment? I have seen several new pieces of equipment with paint coming off farely easy. Doesnt seem to be powered coated at all... Saw a brand new out of the box tiller the other day and it was sratched all up. I made a front bumper for my mule...

Just crossed my mind when looking at some other brands and their HP ratings. I noticed that Kubota has a Gross HP rating and then gives a Net HP rating. John Deere just gives a Gross HP rating only, while New Holland says engine power? Whats the difference in gross and net? HP rating off the...

Question? I bought a new Kubota this year and wondering if this is a tax deduction as a big ticket item? Not a real farmer- just a want to be.. Anyone know the tax laws and deductions for 2010? AndyG

Sorry- may be a dumb question but I have to move my tractor in an out of the garage often. Manily when I need to work on something- weld- or bang on something. My question is I guess its not good to crank it up move it 25ft and shut it off.. Hour later do the same. Thing runs about 30 seconds to...

I was looking at Tonutti tillers locally and was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of them.. I searched google and TBN with little luck. Turns out after looking at them on the net-- the US importer is in MEM, TN not from me. Gear driven made in Itlay by Tonutti Corp.. AndyG

Some have seen my other post on a ripped front rubber that covers the tie rod. I have been able-- with the help from the TBN folks--- get this fixed with little problems. I also since have fab some covers that extend further than the factory metal guards. These were made out of conveyor belt and...

I am going to do my 50hr service this week. Manual says to change engine oil and filter and hydraculic filter. I plan on using rotella 15w-40 T.. I live in West TN and tractor will not be used much in the winter- but kept in heated garage. So I beleive that 15w-40 will be fine. When replacing...

Was sent this--this morning about a guy who left his bore sighter in and pulled the trigger:( Be safe sighting in those deer rifles!!!! AndyG

Other than calling it the front rubber boot I am not sure what else to call it- but either way I ripped one. Can some explain how to remove and fix. I have attached some pictures- not bad but I will be doing the 50hr service in a few weeks and want to fix this also. Can't see why they don't...

We have been leasing our hunting farm for about 20yrs now and the owner has finally gotten to the age he can't work the place. He leases the farm rights but has alot of small equip that he is getting rid of. I am trying to buy it all and was wondering if there was a way to trade or sell a lot of...

DOn't know much about these tillers.. There is a Befco T40 tiller 5ft used for $600 here locally, I am thinking about buying?? Are these good tillers?

Tired of going thru drill bits left and right is there a good drill bit sharper out there. What about this Drill Dr.? any suggestions AndyG

This weekend I got some real seat time and was able to bush hog some of our fields that were really grown up. 6ft tall at least. tractor and 5ft cutter did awsome. Really dry here, after several hours of cutting and coughing up 4 lbs of dust I stopped to go thru another gate. WOW the front of...

Well, now that I got your attention.. This is what I did today, instead of Kubota seat time. :mad: My 10yr daughter had to have her room painted so I painted this afternoon-evening. What we do for our kids:confused2: The 2nd picture is the Kubota all by her self in the garage. I had to take a...

Here in West Tn. I planted my food plots (clover and oats) had 2 days of rain and all came up about 1.5 inches tall. Now its not rained in 4-5 weeks. It is all dying off. :mad: #1 Question is do I need to re-disk and plant again or can I just over seed dirt is still vey dry and like powder #2...

I have a King Bee 5ft cutter with a slip clutch. My question is that when I hit something, example a dirt mound and the clutch slips- I am guessing it does I get a bad vibration for a few minutes and or I have to stop disengage the PTO and start again. I can't see anything on the springs or...

Does anyone have an idea on how to bend back a box blade that is racked out of square about 2 inches? It is a Atlas 5ft blade that I just bought $150 and is only a few years old. Other than being slightly bent in good shape with newish paint:) After I get it back to square I plan on adding a few...

What is a John Deere 5200 2wd with 689hrs on it worth? It has draft and rear rear remotes. Orignal owner might be selling it and it has been in the barn since he bought new in 1993.. I have used it several times and it runs like a top. It does have a 6ft rotery cutter, not sure what brand but is...

Just got 30 hrs on my new L3240 and I have to admit that the thing really burned some diesel the first 10-15hrs more than I thought. I had been using a ford 1710 (23hp) and figured it would burn more fuel than that one but it burned a lot more. Between 20 and 30 it must have got broke in becuz...

There is a local guy that has 3 new 5ft King Kutter tillers for sale. $1444 each. I attached the picture that was posted on the add. Are these pretty good tillers and do you think $1444 is a good price? AndyG

This is a older atlas disc, not sure what series? The lower left grease fitting in this picture is jammed. Tried heat and air pressure to clear but no luck. It does not have a typical bolt head so HOW do I remove and replace? Is it tapped or pressed in? What other ways can I try to clear it? I...

I finished my home made cultipacker today. It痴 the best I could do with out spend a lot on 途eal cultipacker wheels. It is made of 10inch pipe ｽ thick. 5ft long. I didn稚 see the need for an axel all the way thru the pipe (cost savings). I capped both ends of the pipe with plate steel and welded...

I have seen hundreds of threads on making a cultipacker. My question is: how important are the groves on the wheels. The important part is good ground to seed contact thus "packing" with a 400lbs to 500+ packer. The groves are for water to collect and help with seed germination, so if no groves...

I just replaced a friends Ford 1710 water pump, no problems after we got done but after running the tractor for 15 to 20 mintues it starts to get hotter and hotter and stops at 3/4 on the gauge. Gauge is functioning properly and the thing never over heats. We don't know what thermostate degree...

Good morning Tractor Fans.. I finally did it! I bought a NEW Kubota L3240 (GST). I am 42yr and leave in a small Residential neighborhood (hardly no yard) but I bought a tractor anyway! Yes call me crazy but I have always wanted one. I have hunting land that we work on 30 to 40 weekends a year...
