I honestly don't recall hitting anything. It could even have gotten bent after the tire cracked and came off. I was not mowing anything out of the ordinary, on smooth, level ground. And the front tire never really comes into contact with anything other than a surface tree root, but i wasn't...

Thanks to those that replied. I will look into this High Grade Manufacturing

(Complaining ahead)... One of the things that bugs me is that Land Pride has a nice pretty sticker that says "Made in the USA" When I see that, I expect American quality (another time for discussion of the work ethic of Gen Zers). But, I'm guessing the fine print says "from domestic and imported...

Sorry, thought it was clear that I replaced the Land Pride with another Land Pride, same model (14 years apart). I am not doing anything different, just mowing the same areas I've been mowing for years. It is all smoother than when I started all those years ago. Still scraping the same...

I bought a Land Pride Finish mower FDR 1672 back in 2005. Served me well even though I was a little rough on it as I developed my property. In 14 years, I think I only bent two wheel yokes (able to press them straight), and never replaced a wheel. I let it go when I sold the old Kubota in 2019...

Was out mowing today and realized that the 4WD did NOT engage when I shifted into it. Simply stayed in 2WD. I'll probably try to check it out day after tomorrow. Any suggestions on where to start or what to look for?

I have a fairly new 4701, replacing a 4400 When refueling, I struggle to see the fuel level. The opening is so small, (to prevent those evil fumes from escaping) I can't see once the nozzle is in. I've already overfilled and spilled a couple of times. Kind of negates the fumes capture aspect...

I would appreciate ideas on how to secure/lock a kx-71 that will be left outdoors on a property away from my house There are no neighbors to keep an eye on things or even hear if someone tries to steal the machine Looking for some way to make it difficult for a person who might know how to get...

Hey y'all, How do you store your post hole digger? Without something else to support it, it is a pain to attach/unattach by myself. Also, I don't want to just leave it laying on the ground. Did you build a rack to set it on or maybe some kind of hanging rig? Thanks in advance for any ideas...

Howdy all, It's late and dark so I didn't get the size data... Kubota L4400 - front tire - R4 - what is that, a 17 inch rim? Anyway, I'm looking for the pressure needed to seat the bead. I'm hoping one of y'all just knows it by heart, otherwise, I guess I'll go out in the morning to get...

I bought a Howse PHD with a 12in auger. It worked fine for the two times I used it: once right after purchase, maybe 20 holes. next time 6 months later, maybe 15 holes. Then about 8 months later, there's a big puddle of oil under it, leaking from the drive shaft and from the auger shaft. Talk...

I was looking to upgrade from the L4400 to maybe an M5660, but.... All the bigger tractors seem to have computerized engines. I can work on the 4400 mechanical engine with a little help from my son-in-law, but I don't know about the computers. What have y'all experienced? What are y'all's...

Howdy y'all. I don't know which forum this should be in... I know very little about air compressors, so I'm not even sure what I need. Obviously, I'll be using it for tractor tires, but also for truck and trailer tires with pressures up to 70 psi. I'm also looking to run a few air tools...

Does anybody make a lift bucket that attaches to the 3 point hitch and runs off the rear hydraulics? I'd like to get myself about 12 feet off the ground for trimming trees with a chainsaw or pole-saw.
