    Kubota L3010 value

    The tractor is hydro. I had never heard of the tractor house - will check that out. It would seem natural for the sister in law that got all of the property (house and 6 acres) would want the tractor. But since there are no horses anymore she really just wants something smaller. Frankly I...

    Kubota L3010 value

    I am in the unfortunate position as executor of my father-in-law's estate. He has a lightly used about 2000 model L3010 with loader. It has less than 500 hours on it. I have a B2710 (1999 model) and this L model is huge to me. Looking for advice on how I can sell this tractor for the estate...

    B2710 Lost Transmission Filler Cap

    I was going to till in my cowpeas today and I was horrified to see that the yellow plastic filler cap behind the seat is missing. Unfortunately I had done some light dirt work a couple of weeks ago after having replaced two hydraulic hoses which required topping off the UDT. Musta forgot to...

    Oil & Fuel  Black sludge or burnt?

    Changed the fluids and filters on my 1999 B2710 today, the tractor has 913 hours. When I removed the right side suction filter this is what I saw. The black stuff won't come off - it appears to be stuck. No issues with the operation, but I wonder if somehow it got overheated at some point? I...

    Need a walk behind string trimmer

    The weed eating I do is with a Stihl FS85, but my wife loves using the wheel trimmer. I purchased a cheap Troybilt (MTD) high wheel trimmer in 2001 and it has been great. B & S 6.75 engine. Offset to the left to get up against stuff. It still runs fine but the bearings are seizing on the...

    Who can afford a new truck anymore?

    I cannot believe how expensive trucks have become. Looks I will never own another new one. Other than those making money from their trucks, and others that have a pile of money, I don't see how people can afford a new truck.

    B2710 hard to start

    I have been on this board for 16 years and it was feedback on this board that caused me to buy this new tractor in 1999. It now has about 900 hours and I have not posted much about the tractor because there have not been any problems in years. Now, all of a sudden the tractor is hard to...

    Tires for Mule 550

    I have a 10 year old Mule 550 2WD and the rear tires are shot and one of them I can't seem to plug the leak. The sizes appears to be 22x11x10. Should any "ATV" tire work OK? It has some kind of Dunlop tires on it, can't really make out the model. Anyone have a good source for such a tire...

    Planning pole barn sheate d / greenhouse

    We have decided we don't want the greenhouse to have a floor, so water spills and over watering will just go into the ground. Probably will use gravel for the floor, maybe pavers for a walkway down the middle. One end of the building will be a shed and we plan to put a wood floor in there...

    Yikes! Well pump replaced.

    2005 was $2500. 2014 $5,672.34. 500 foot well, 5HP 20gpm pump, motor, and control box replaced. After the job was done I asked what if I put a 10 gpm pump, maybe a 2HP? Would have saved $2,000. Not sure I could tell any difference.

    Water well pump kaput and can't get to it

    We were having a nice Easter when our well pump quit working. The well service guys showed up this morning and tested the control box and determined they would need to pull the pump. Only problem is, it came 1.5 inches of rain last night and the service rig is now stuck in my yard. What...

    FG110 tiller won't stay running

    My wife uses this great little tiller. The primer bulb crumbled and since then it will not stay running. I replaced the bulb this morning but still can't get it to run. Changed out the gas but didn't do any good. It will fire and run for 1-3 seconds then die. Seems if I over prime it runs a...
