Hello all, I have not posted for years, and then it was about my Kubota tractor ... So, we have 12 acres of which we often mow half of it. We have hilly property that works the average mower. I have one tired old Craftsman garden tractor (99) that can do the hills if I am careful. (been...

I picked up a running but tired G5200H recently. Wednesday I had the good fortune of meeting two of the three families that have owned it from new. Seems it started working in Virginia many years ago. Primary issue for these two has been wiring and having to jump start the mower on a regular...

Hello, Lets say I have a 23600 lb bumper pull 3 axle with 2K tongue weight in the shape of a large tall windowless RV trailer. It is just too much for the usual horsed up 1 ton dually delivery guy. I suspect it would almost lift the front wheels off the ground of such a tow rig. What (and...

Not wanted to hijack another thread (http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/owning-operating/197599-turn-field-into-yard.html), I have started this one. My interest is in seeking advice for turning some of my very wet fields into lawn. The other thread debates the tiller vs plow issues and is...

Well, In the North East 'kingdom' of Vermont we finally caught a nice one after watching several storms dump on our neighbors to the south. A good 2' so far!

By any remote chance can anyone on here help me locate rental indirect (very safe) propane heaters near Tulsa Oklahoma? If you think you can help, please PM me for more details. ( I am in New England and burning up the phone lines and websites looking for a solution) Thank you

I just read the other roof ice/snow thread and considered posting there but decided not the hijack it. I have an 88 mobile home single wide with cathedral ceilings in the large living room / kitchen area. Probably the original roof. Fairly shallow but pitched roof, no visible vents anywhere...

Considering an M35A2/A3 or 5ton. No really good reason, just looking for something big and durable to tinker on (and perhaps to have for a backup rig when the econoboxes can't get out of the snowy driveway). Absolutely no financial justification, really little more that a big toy. Nuts or...

I thought I would share an experience from yesterday. No harm done but food for thought along the safety theme..... Sometimes we do things for years and practice makes it all seem right..... While pushing snow in reverse up a large pile and reaching that 'hairy' point at the top where...

First New Years Resolution completed!! It was to make the ROPS mounted work lights function that I mounted a very long time ago but never wired......... Real simple using what was on hand: (weak link will be the cheap 110v wall switches) 1-12v Feed wire from battery under the tractor, across...

Hello, I have a Woods FEL on my Kubota with an extra control lever for steering my QA snowplow. The FEL has met my needs for years. Getting ready for winter I notice the curl function is very slow and weak. Forward of the base of the joy stick I hear the same noise during any motion command...

Despite years of bitter complaints, I have to say something positive about Sears. 1) Due to some abuse, I had to replace $200 of damaged parts on my Husqvarna.The Sears parts web site made this very easy. 2) My limping 2000 Craftsmen GT came back to life after sitting for a few years. A low...

Looking for a sanity check here. I used to do some SS tig work with a very simple inverter setup at a previous job. It was simple scratch start stuff and no one's life depended on my welding. As to stick welding, I am a novice. I am interested in the challenge to follow..... I have a SS...

Hello, Looking for ways to beef up my RB84 rear blade. This is used mostly for snow removal and the majority of the time I push the blade in reverse with the cutting edge facing forwards. The idea is to ride up on obstructions rather than catch them.. It usually works.... This winter the...

Hello, Sitting in my warm living room I look out at my snow covered kubota with only the top half a rear scraper blade mounted to it... This scraper blade has two axis. RB84 woods I believe is the name. 1)The axis that brings the blade closer to one tire or the other is one axis. That one...
