    3-Point Hitch  3-Point Question

    My son rented a post hole auger to use on my L3800 to speed up his deck project. He called me and asked how do you apply down pressure to the 3-Point? I replied, I am not sure. The only thing I have used other than my BH77 is a York Rake. I was pretty sure the knob under the seat is only a speed...

    Scag STC-48 starting issue

    My Scag ZRT STC-48V-26BS would not start, so I tried to arc the poles on the solenoid. It fired right up, so I replaced the solenoid with no change, same issue. Next I changed the ignition switch, that did not fix the issue. I can still start it by arcing the solenoid. Any ideas what next??

    Tire ballast for winter snow removal

    I would like to remove my B77 hoe and install a 6' woods blade for winter snow removal. I thought about adding antifreeze solution to rear tires for added ballast. My B77 manual states that you should not ballast the tires due to additional weight the outriggers would have to lift. I would...

    LA524 Loader

    I was using my loader for the first time today and noticed the loader has no bucket level indicator. My Ford loader has a tube and rod, the rod is up out of the tube about one inch when bucket is level. Does Kubota make an level indicator. Has anyone fabricated the type I am talking about or...
