Hi all... Just noticed that the hub on one of the gauge wheels on my 25-year old Farmhand EG 220 finishing mower has blown open....and I'm having a hard time trying to find a source for a mower of that vintage. Is there a place to get replacement parts...or failing that, is there some kind of...

Yeah, my dad used it when the apple orchard was alive and kicking. Since I’ve changed over from apples, I don’t use it. Thought I might sell it, but did not have a clue what to ask.

Hello all....my father had a 200L sprayer that he used for spraying fertilizers, etc sitting in a shed for years and years. Does anyone have any experience with these - and roughly what they think is a fair price might be? Thanks for any input.

We had ass-deep snow last winter, so I spent 3K on a blower last fall....and used it exactly ZERO times. I don’t have a shop to store it over the summer, but I have it off the ground on a pallet. I have lubed up the chain and chute mechanism in oil and covered up what I could with a half sheet...

Before shelling out tons of money for a new, heavier unit - consider how much it would cost to get a guy with proper machinery to clean up your trouble areas. Farming that job out to a guy with a mini-excavator (or renting one) to dig up your problem rocks, stumps, or whatever might be a cheaper...

Just came back from our local Kioti dealer. Was checking out the new CK3510SE models. Was very surprised to see R14s mounted on those models.

Got a new seat for my L2900 (late 90s) for Xmas.The Kubota guy told my wife it was a generic replacement type, and SHOULD fit. The original seat bottom has 4 threaded holes lining up with the holes on the hinges on the seat base. The new seat base has lots of threaded holes all over the places...

Well, after years of fighting those damned turnbuckles, I took a leap of faith and got the L8430 telescopic stabilizer kit - despite Messick's maintaining that they would not fit on an L2900. Technically, they were correct....the mounting points on the L2900 are literally a hair too wide for the...

Tired of fighting my sticking turnbuckles, so I am looking for a set of replacement stabilizers for my L2900. Thought I would check out the Kubota L8430 kit, which is supposed to fit the L-series. Did not see the L2900 listed on the dozen or so L-series models on the Messick page, so I sent a...

Just wondering if this is normal. Friend has a old Ford double-blade plow. When we tried to plow a row or two, the plow seems to be way tilted over to one side - causing one blade to dig in and the other to barely skim over the surface. We致e lengthened the top link but it doesn稚 seem to make too...

Excuse this relative newbie question...but what is the deal with tractors that have their ROPS mounted in front of the operator vs the more traditional spot in the rear? It looks like a loader won’t even go on the front ones. Is there a dfference? A reason? Advantage? Just curious.

Hello all...have just put a few loads of fresh gravel down on the driveway. Am somewhat concerned about a lot of it getting pushed around and ending up in the ditch as i plow the drive with a rear blade. I thought about installing snowplow shoes on my rear blade to keep it a half-inch or so...

Hi, all...i just bought a used tiller to work a piece of land. Turns out it is a grey market Kubota and everything on it is written in Japanese, I assume. There is a filler cap on top of the chain case, but I am not sure about how to check the level of oil in the unit. There is a bolt on the...

Hi, all...I bought a used Kubota tiller today - and OF COURSE, the existing PTO shaft is about 2 inches too short. I have a spare PTO shaft lying around from another unused implement, so I figured I would cut that one to proper length...but I DO NOT want to mess this up!! I have measured the...

Hi all....fairly new to moving snow with my tractor. We have a 500-foot gravel driveway, and I am trying not to end up tearing it up with my rear blade. My neighbour says he 澱ack-blades his driveway for the first snowfall or two to develop a good base. Can anyone explain to me what this...
