    Driving over a septic tank

    About 10 yrs ago, I had a septic tank serviced and I was mowing when the guy came. I had a 28hp cat diesel in a bad boy zt. He asked how much that ZT weighed and I said about 1100lbs. He said DO NOT drive over any septic tank with any zero turn mower unless I wanted a "brown dirt bath". That was...

    Zero turn vs. 4X4 tractor for mowing

    I had a 1520 ford with a 72" land pride finish mower that I mowed with for years. I know about the 5hp/ft thing, but that combo did just fine. I liked the comment about tbe flail mower. Is it grass you are mowing or just field growth?

    Land Pride tiller leak

    I had an older tiller that I used about 5 times. It leaked after a few times I used it. I replaced the gasket, cleaning after removing the first one. It leaked the second time I used it again. I saw a factory rep and at that time, he told me to keep tightening the bolts. That did it. Gave it...

    Tractors and (upcoming) tariffs?

    Mexico slowed the border crossings considerably the last time we threatened tariffs. They have so much of our manufacturing now, that they are no longer the poor old mexico of yesteryear. Drug trafficking is huge from mexico and china and it needs to stop, our citizens are worth that. The old...

    Tractors and (upcoming) tariffs?

    Most here need to research the purpose as well as the reason for tariffs. As far as the tariffs on steel a while back, the Chinese(ccp) were dumping steel here, charging less than their cost to manufacture and ship. They were on a mission to bankrupt all of our steel manufacturers. It just about...

    scut ride comfort while mowing, R4 vs turf vs R14

    I have turf tires on my Kubota and it still rides bumpy. As stated by another here, removing the Front bucket does help some, but I have tried to lower the air pressure in the tires and it did not help much if any.

    Kioti

    I bought a new MX 5400 Kubota 13 months ago. I had a 1991 Ford tractor that I really liked before that, so it was not my first. The Kubota I got was not that much more than the 3901, but had a lot more HP and lifting for the FEL. I really love it so far. I have hydro drive and 4wd. I like how...
