ZD331 72" deck with optional weight kit K3181-01100 My issue is the ZD28 is excellent in having weight on the rear tires to turn or maneuver on hills, but the ZD331 just seemed to light and was tough to manage on slopes, or turning without "spinning out" The instructions are not very good at...

Hey gang, I know the whole drievway scraper discussion has been leveled off quite a bit :laughing: BUT I havent seen anyone suggest something like the Agritek scraper. I have a few driveways and two small parking lots that would need leveled. My personal driveway doesnt pothole but with...

Hey gang, I stumbled across a 15' woods batwing finish mower but wasnt sure if the Ford would be up for the challenge. Its a older batwing mower but on woods website they say the motor HP should be between 35-80 hp. Tractor data says the 861 is 62hp but I'm not sure what the PTO hp rating...

Long story short I dont heat my home with wood but I do heat the 30x36 garage. I have split wood prior with a splitting maul and decided I would start collecting parts here and there to build one. I started with a trailer axle that was laying around, then I found a I-beam after taking in some...

Hey gang, I recently got around to throwing some paint on the tractor and I bought the paint from TSC. Ford Red and Ford Gray. Red turned out great but the gray Im not sure.... Its almost like it needs to be a tan color for the 861. Did I not see the tan on the shelf or is this the...

Hey gang, I'm looking for some info comparing the L4600 vs the MX4700 as far as operator options. Both layouts look to be about the same just looks like the sheet metal is different? both spec'd out to R4's, loader, 4x4, 2 remotes. I couldnt find a operators station view on kubota.com...

Hey gang a little background for you: Bought a Case 480E backhoe ,13,000lbs full of fuel. I then sold my 14K corn pro 20+5 GN trailer since I couldnt haul the backhoe on it. I stumbled on a 40' Load max 21K gooseneck that is way too long and I'm selling for a profit. I then came across a...

Hey gang the front motor mount went out the other day. I have a new mount but just looking for tips or tricks to replacing the mount. It doesnt look like fun at the moment. Thanks Ian

New toy! Case 480E 2800hrs original paint, always stored inside, sheet metal is excellent! Couple questions.... The dump feature on the loader seems slow for some reason? I've ran 580E's in the past and just trying to compare and figure things out. I know the 480 is a lesser unit but should...

I was tired of using cheap TSC rollers and had a water pressure tank turned into a roller. That worked good for a little while until it ended up dented to heck, so this year I had my fabricator make me a heavy duty roller and it turned out great! I just picked up the tube material and let him...

Just looking to see what people use to haul there equipment on or in :D Enclosed R&R 14' deckover 25+5 Corn Pro

Finally got around to putting he weight to good use for the BX, I dont have all the suitcase weights dug out of the snow yet but this will help for moving the trailers when mowing and adding some ballast to the BX or B2400 when using just the loader. I picked up the tractor weight and 4...
