I have a Davis Vantage Pro2 wireless with an additional Vantage VUE console in the kitchen. It's nine or ten years old now and has given only a bit of trouble over the years, mostly the anemometer going bad and some problems adjusting the rain bucket. I use CumulusMX (a free open source program)...

I had a similar problem on my B1700 with about the same hours, only happening on left turns after warming up. It turned out that the steering unit attachment bolts were loose. I didn't figure it out until the stress from the constant flexing on one of the hydraulic lines going to the steering...

Yes, soy based wire insulation. Who ever came up with that? Some eco genius in a white room who has never been in out the real world! Several years ago I spent a couple days replacing the wiring on my trailer, which I keep in a storage area in the woods behind the house. I did a nice job and...

Rebeldad1 and flyerdan mentioned this on page 1 of this item. Some details: The plastic stems sticking out of the cans appear to be somewhat standard with an OD of 1/8" and a slightly larger shoulder about 3/16" down. My rubber tipped air gun looks just like flyerdan's above and has a 1/8" ID...

I have been re-pressurizing my spray cans with compressed air for some time; this is easy to do and useful for a few sprays but had to be done again at each use. I set the compressor output regulator for 60PSI when I do this. My questions are just how much pressure can these cans take and what...

I had a similar experience and wrote a review on these forks, complete with photos. Everything arrived, but several days after the expected date because the shipper could not find one of the forks. The pallet forks are nice and have been very useful but the packaging was atrocious. I won't be...

Bruce, this is standard practice and I did this many years ago when I was trying to make the box scraper work, but it made no difference--the box still filled up with gravel. Yesterday I removed the scarifier shanks, the front-facing blade, and the hinged rear gate, slightly over 150 lbs. total...

This thread gives me an idea. I have a 650' gravel drive with curves, well drained but with loose gravel. I need to grade it a couple times a year mostly because of our friends at UPS and FedEx drive about 20mph and throw gravel to the side on the curves and turn it into a washboard where they...

I have a Bush Hog SQ60, five foot, purchased about 22 years ago along with my Kubota B1700 HSD, the smallest of the Kubota compacts available then. This Bush Hog is a substantial implement and looks about like the 285. The Kubota handles it fine without any additional weight on front, although I...

I'm a new member with a Kubota B1700 4WD, HST, Kubota front loader and belly mower, turf tires. I bought this tractor new in 1996 when I moved to my eight acres in the exurbs between Charlottesville and Richmond. I'm retired, and between cutting 3-4 acres of lawn and keeping the woods clear...
