    pto backup generator

    I just sold mine. I am going to buy an uninterrupted generator designed for home use. I realized, if power goes out… I have too many other things to do. It might not be too much for you, but it was for me. In the cold weather (northern Minnesota) the risk of animal water, and water lines in...

    Bale spear problem; Quick attach easy with FEL/not with BS.

    Excellent point. I’m going to need the BS within the next few days. After that, I won’t need it till winter feeding. During that break, I am going to pursue the more permanent solution. Might even include purchase of a new tractor with quick attach PTO and Cab. I’m in northern Minnesota about...

    Bale spear problem; Quick attach easy with FEL/not with BS.

    UPDATE: my friend Kabota came out today. I told him the problem I was having. He basically pressured the left-hand side against a strong oak tree. Then he looked at it again pressured the right hand side, just a little bit. I was able to latch the pins just great. It’s basically what I did to...

    Bale spear problem; Quick attach easy with FEL/not with BS.

    I take your point. I’ve received a lot of good information. I’m not going to remove the balespear until I find out from an on-site visual inspection exactly what’s going on. I do know now that it didn’t happen while I was using the tractor. Disappointed by the whole situation, but I may not be...

    Bale spear problem; Quick attach easy with FEL/not with BS.

    Thank you all. Completely related, today my Kabota salesman/mentor/friend said he was planning to stop out here Monday or Tuesday. I didn’t ask him about this problem. Maybe he reads this forum to keep up with issues. Or maybe some kind of karma is at work. PTL I think. Thanks to all

    Bale spear problem; Quick attach easy with FEL/not with BS.

    It makes sense.bent somewhere that affects the BS and not the bucket. My neighbor is a pretty professional, long-term farmer. I don’t know. I have BS on now and will probably just leave it there till the spring. Eventually I’m going to have to get an expert out here thanks.

    Bale spear problem; Quick attach easy with FEL/not with BS.

    It’s a hard place to get a picture of. The best I could do. Today I got the bale spear on by myself, using a very in elegant solution. I boarded thc hard place to get a picture. I did my best. I was able to attach by myself today, I had to stand on the left hand lever: I guess my weight...

    Kabota L 2501. I can get the FEL bucket on/off with no problem. However, it’s impossible for me to latch the quick attach lever on the bale spear. Last time, I had to get a neighbor… A strong neighbor. Both of us standing and jumping, finally got the lever pushed all the way in until pin...

    Snow  Kubota 1100C snowblower

    I recently upgraded from a 2014 RTV 900 to a 2019RTV 1100C (because of a fire). I am considering the front mount snowblower package. It's expensive, but maintaining my 18 year old plow truck and blade is too. I would still have my Kubota L2501 with a FEL to clear the pasture. I live in...

    Insurance  2014 Kabota RTV 900 fire total loss

    2014 Kabota RTV 900 fire total loss. I was mucking out after the cattle, and the hay/dry manure combusted. I know there was a recall on the 1100, but has anyone else heard of this? Thank you
