I am going to try to do my first oil change (200 hour) on my Kubota L3230 DT tractor, and I'm wondering what kind of oil works best in Texas? We have really hot summers here (this summer about 30 days over 100 degrees) and the winters are usually mild, although we get some snow occasionally and...
I would appreciate some feedback on maintaining a road. I have about 600 ft. of crushed rock road bed that I currently maintain with a box blade; however, it's starting to get a wavy washboard surface from the tractor following dips and bumps in the surface while using the box blade. Would a...
I was looking on the internet today for a landscape rake for my three-point hitch, and I found that Mahindra lists one on their website. I went by the local Mahindra dealer and he said that they didn't make one, but he had one for about $1,300. The Mahindra brand on the website said $474.00, I...
I'm thinking about getting a landscape rake, but I don't know whether it would be worth the money. My Kubota dealer has one for $585.00 for the six-foot version, and it seems heavy-duty enough, but I'm wondering how many times I would actually use it. Does anybody have any thoughts or...
Would anyone who has recently purchased a backhoe (new or used) for a Kubota L3240 be willing to share what they paid for it? I'm interested in getting one if I can justify the price, but if it's clearly out of my price range, I'll just wait until I can afford one later. I'd also like to be...
I am wanting to run a buried water line and a buried electrical line a distance of several hundred feet, and I want to run the water line deep enough to be below the freeze line in the soil. The idea that I was turning over in my head was if I could use one of my pallet forks centered in the...
Does anybody have any experience with these forks that bolt on to your FEL bucket?
Spring Valley Forks -- Spring Valley Equipment
They look kind of handy in that you can take them on and off quickly without having to take the bucket off. I was thinking about using something like that for...
I broke a shear bolt on my Land Pride rotary cutter the other day (Saturday, of course) while I was mowing and I didn't have any spares. That isn't really that bad of a problem, but I started wondering, since it's 65 miles out to where my tractor is and 45 miles to the dealer where I would get...
I'm new to tractor usage, and I need to make a road onto our new property. We have very rocky soil, and I am wanting to know the best way to scrape some of the top off to fill in later with crushed rock or something for the actual road material. I can't really get a good bite with the FEL...
Could I get some input about both the power shuttle or hydrostatic transmission so I can make a decision between the two? I've just about settled on the MF1533, but the difference in price between the two trannies isn't that much. I don't have any experience with either one, so I would like to...
Could somebody give me some owner input on tractors, please? I'm looking for a tractor, and I've narrowed it down to either the Kubota L3240 GST, the John Deere 3320 HST, or the Massey-Ferguson 1533 Power Shuttle or HST. They all are pretty close to what I think I'd need, and they're pretty...

Can anybody give me a recent purchase price on a Case DX35 with loader and rotary cutter? I'm in the market soon for a tractor, and right now, it's kind of a three-way tie between Kubota 3240, JD 3230, and MF 1533. They all seem to be kind of equivalent tractors, each with their own advantages...
