Anyone have experience with the Country Cutters with joystick control? The local small-engine shop sells them.

What happened to the OP? Did he get his tractor back? Does it still stall under high ambient temps? Has he found a solution to his problem? If so, what was it? My 2007 MX5000 ran hot. Would work its way up into the red on the gauge just running at PTO RPM with no load if ambient was 80 or...

I've got one of the big DR units from about 5 years ago. Tow it behind my Kubota 7610. It's inlet is attached to the outlet of the Kubota's belly mower. Believe it's equivalent to either the Pro 330 or the Pro XL 330 they sell now. Has a 10 or 12 HP electric start Briggs to run the Vac. Being...

Let's see if the backhoe still runs before we get carried away.

Don't think I agree with this. Most of the tractors I see here are either clean or very clean. People seem to take pride in them. Don't recall ever seeing one I'd classify as filthy. Of course coming from an Ag background, maybe my standards are different. As others have said, priorities...

The L3902's PTO shaft appears to lock when the PTO is turned off and stays locked when the tractor is off. PTO brake or something. The PTO stays free or can turn 90 deg. on my other Kubotas(to my recollection), don't know why the 3902 is different. Maybe because I haven't destroyed the brake...

I'll give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

Finding a used loader to go with a used tractor that doesn't have a loader is tough. A new loader that will fit the used tractor can usually be found but at a cost that often exceeds that of the used tractor. This was explained to me by the owner of a tractor dealership. Hope that M9960 you're...

I have a similar problem. I can get the splines matched up and the coupler slid part-way on but I can't get it to move forward and latch. The tractor is a new L3902, the implement is a new Woods BB60.30 rotary cutter. The latching collar takes a LOT of force to slide back and it has to slide...

Was taught to lay the saw on its side, put a few drops of B/C oil over the lube hole, and then pull the chain through a few times by hand. Then flip the saw over to the other side and repeat. Could often see the oil get sucked into the sprocket. Never bothered with grease. Did this every time...

The equipment you're planning to use should have minimum HP requirements. If none are borderline or worse with either the L5460 or the L6060, then I'm with ericm: you won't notice the difference.

One thing struck me when I was reading the manual for my new L3902: this was not a tractor that I could ever loan out. The procedures, controls, and instructions were just too complicated for people who just go 'hammer down' when it comes to accomplishing work. When the instrument panel lights...

I have a B7610 with a RCK60-24B mid mount mower that's been used extensively for 17 yrs and is in need of an overhaul (the gauge wheels all look bad). A lightly used RCK60-27BA has come up on craigslist nearby. It looks exactly like mine but dimensions could be different. It was originally on a...

Surprised no one mentioned CLP. Cleans Lubricates Protects Maybe just for guns.

In a way, I envy you. You can at least think about a cab. I cannot, way too many trees. My old Dad was a bug on planting trees and now they're grown and all over the place (52 acres). Most are pines and firs with low branches. Cleanup will take the rest of my life (78 now) and probably more...
