I'll take all that on board, good advice for someone who hasn't ever worked with diesel or injection systems. The one part that still puzzles though is with gas/petrol engined cars with carburettors a partial or intermittent fuel line blockage the engine does not stop suddenly but just sort of...

Thanks Robin, the battery is a good idea but that isn't the problem. It's 2 years old and the correct capacity for this tractor. I do keep day to day maintainance up to date to the point if we leave here for a week or longer I make sure I disconnect it. I uncovered the tractor 2 days ago and...

Thanks a lot to you both, some very good information and a great deal to work with here. We are having an unusual very wet year here this year, following 3 years or drought! The tractor is outside with 2 very heavy duty tarps tied down over it. We have rain predicted for the next week so...

I am British based in France, my descriptions may not always use the correct terms but please bear with me. We have had this tractor for about 15 years, never missed a beat or showed any malfunction of any part of it, I service it correctly at all times. A front bucket is fitted and a 4 feet...

Live in Europe so not sure of the correct name used in the US. I want to buy a rotary mower to mow 2 small fields, and in rural France small fields are small, maybe 2 acres for the two. The surface is uneven as previously used for cattle and has not had cattle or been mown for 3 years so a bit...

Have used my flail for the first time in the last few days and have had to run over maybe 50-70 mole hills, some of them are pretty high (for mole hills) at about 8-10". I checked over the mower before using it yesterday and noticed that the flails had cut deep grooves into the soil that has...

Hello Have bought a nearly new Kubota flail mower to use with my B7100HST tractor. It was fitted to B1700 when bought new but soon taken back to the dealer in exchange for a new larger tractor and larger flail. The 3 point mounting points on the flail are much wider than the lower arms on the...

I have also posted this in the oil section too as I was sure which section would work best... hope that's ok? Have just bought a used Kubota flail mower and will service it before using for the first time. The recommended gearbox oil is SAE 90 oil. I'm a big fan of synthetic oil and have...

Have just bought a used Kubota flail mower and will service it before using for the first time. The recommended gearbox oil is SAE 90 oil. I'm a big fan of synthetic oil and have Mobil 1 75W-90 gear oil around for other uses, and I'm thinking of using this in the flail gearbox. Is this a good...

Has anyone used or have an opinion on one of these Kubota FM120 4 foot flail mowers, or maybe used one ? I have been offered one of these with less than 30 hours use, it's a bit pricey but Kubota quality, so as I am in it for the long run it may be worth paying for the name? Thanks

Hello I have a Kubota B7100HST with a 60" mmm fitted, both were in used condition when bought. Bought a holiday home with 5 acres and mow around 1.5 acres with this belly mower when we are there (about every 3 to 5 weeks and stay about 10 days). But if it's the growing season it can be a very...
