The 3-point hitch arms on my L4240 will not go down. Looking inside the fender, it appears that the handle/linkage is operating properly. When I raise the lever all the way up, the arms sometimes "bounce up" a little bit. I have not used the 3PH for a few months and just put a post-hole...

I have a 60" Bobcat ZTR (I think it is a ZT223A) and the left plastic gas tank somehow got a hole in it. The hole is like a 2" slit from a knife blade. I don't know how it got there, but it could have been a neighborhood problem kid since the mower is sitting outside. Anyway, is there a way...

I am still looking for a post hole digger but have not been able to find a nice used one. Here is a recent thread that I started discussing various units: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/170134-post-hole-digger-auger-bit.html Since I have not found a nice used one nearby, I am...

I am looking for a post hole digger to install about 200-300 fence posts. Some are vinyl split rail posts (5" square) and the rest will likely be wood pressure treated round posts (5-6" diameter) for woven wire field fence. I have seen some ads state that a shorter boom is needed for "compact"...

I guess it depends what models you are looking at. I don't have personal experience with either one, but I know the Bad Boy Pup is a lighter/residential machine compared to the Lightning. The Gravelys that I have seen look pretty heavy, but they may make a more residential model also. The...

I have some weeds and brush that I would like to clear for a new pasture. I am buying a Kubota L4240 and the dealer has a used RM990 for $1500. I don't really want to spend $1000 plus for a brush hog that I may really only need once for clearing the initial brush. I assume I could use the...

I think I am going to spring for the L4240. It may be a bit more tractor than I need, but I think it is a good deal. L4240, HST+, foldable ROPS, 64 demo hours, R4 tires, loader with QA bucket, $22,900 (0% tax, 48 months at 0% financing). I was looking at an L3400 for around $19,500, but...

I am new to owning a tractor and will likely be picking up a new Kubota L4240. I am thinking about buying a bush hog to clear a couple acres of weeds and brush, and then to mow the pasture area once it is cleared (maybe once or twice a month?). I know there can be a difference in build...

Below is a clip from my thread on buying my first tractor. I think I may buy something this week (30-40 hp range). Maybe a Kubota L4240. Here are my implement questions: 1. Based on the tasks listed below, what implements are a "must have"? I do not want to buy every implement out there if...
