I have a Lande Pride 72" rear mount finishing mower (FDR2572). last night, the drive belt jumped off the pulleys. So I took off the covers to accesd the belt & pulleys & got out my owner's manual. But I have 2 problems: 1) The manual covers 3 model of mower: 60", 72" & 84". It looks to me...

Can anyone point me at some online sources for 3PH sprayers?

Is there such a thing as a pressure washer attachment that uses a 3PH? It would seem like a natural to have one with wheels & a large tank & use the PTO to power it. -- Hook

I have a Kubota L3010 with about 37 hours on it. The other day I decided it was time to lube the FEL. So I pulled out the lube gun I had bought. This is a standard automotive model with a flexible hose. I loaded the grease cartridge in it & then went to hook it up to the first grease...

I bought a new 2001 Kubota L3010 that now has about 37 hours on it. About a month ago, I started to feel a slight rocking motion when I was driving slowly on a paved surface. It was kind of sibtle, but I felt sure there was "something" going on. It felt like it was coming from the right rear...

I bought a new L3010 a few months ago & now have about 28 hours on it. Ever since I have had it, it has been a royal pain in the ass to engage or disengage 4WD. Once in a rare while, the lever moves easily. But most of the time I have to fiddle with it, step on the clutch, put it in neutral...

We have an area on our property that is about 3/4 acre, I'm guesstimating. It is full of rocks, ranging from gravel sized to grapefruit sized. I'm thinking that a landscape rake would be the best attachment for clearing that area of rocks. Is that correct? Or is there something better I...

A week ago I attached a rear blade to my tractor (Kubota L3010). I did it by myself & it took a lot of wrestling & finagling, but I finally got it attached just fine. But I'd sure like to make this job easier. I'm thinking that if I had a heavy duty dolly, I could keep the rear blade on that...

I just passed 10 hours on my L3010 & want to lube the FEL, as per the maintenance schedule. Three questions: 1) What kind of grease do I use? Can I just grab any kind of multi-purpose grease? 2) The grease fittings have some kind of threaded "screw" entering the joint. Is this a grease...

I have a Land Pride 72" rear mount finishing mower. The dealer told me it was ok to back up & cut in reverse (very useful to get into difficult areas). But the manual says not to do this. Thoughts? Hook

When last we heard from our hero (me :-), he was all but committed to the JD 4200, over the Kubota B2910. But, something was holding me back. So, today I just "happened to" drive by the Kubota dealer & decided to see if they had an L3010 I could test drive (the last time I was there, they only...

Well, I've all but decided to get the JD4200 & i thought I'd get some feedback on the prices I've been quoted by the nearest dealer: 4200 (4WD, HST, mid PTO): $15,800 420 loader w/ 61" heavy duty bucket: $2,700 60" mid mount mower: $2,150 3rd selective...

If you've been following my "saga" recently, you know that I have now narrowed down my choices of tractors to the Kubota B2910 & the JD 4200. Well, today I went & rode them both again & climbed in & out of the seat a bunch of times. I am clearly zeroing in on a decision. Here's how I see the 2...
