Way past due on changing hydraulic oil and filters on Kubota M4800 "geared" tractor It's an M4800 non-HST tractor. I've got 2 filters behind the right rear wheel against the case. I need to change it all. Any tips and suggestions?

I'm one of those few on here who has a tractor but no front end loader. Oh, I'd like to have one but haven't been able to make one or scrape up the $$ to buy one. BUT, if I did, I'd have one of these around without the tank to use as a "manlift cage". The idea occurred to me a few years ago and...

My Kubota M4800 su is a 2004 model. It's served me well and still is but I'm starting to have a few issues with it. 1) my key switch is getting "iffy". You have to find that "sweet spot" for it to make contact. 2) My temp gauge works about 1/3 of the time and 3) I noticed this last weekend the...

Ok, ok we don't have too much "rustlin'" but we do have our share of free grazing around here. Now, I'm not new to the country or ranching or the farming way of life but free grazing is something that gets under my skin a little. We've got a fellow who used to own quite a bit of land around our...

My wife has a fellow trainer in the horse industry who has a trailer puller for sale and we were wondering what you guys can tell us about them. It's a Freightliner Sport Chassis with a Cat/Allison drivetrain. I think there are a few of you out there in TBN land who have something similar and...

I guess I could have posted this in the Photos forum but it fits here as well. Last weekend (Easter 2011) we received right at 5 1/2" of rain over two days. According to the weatherman at one of our local stations we're still 5 1/2" behind for the year so that kind of lets you know how we were...

Late Saturday's water supply seemed a little "airish". Not having worked on any water line to introduce air into my water system, I got a little concerned. The air was in both the hot and cold side and at all faucets and toilets so I knew it was in the whole water line. After studying on it a...

Well, it finally happened. Like QRTRHRS we had to dig a hole this past Saturday. This all started on Friday. I went out about 5:45am and threw out some hay and broke the ice on the water troughs. No water in the ponds and having to keep water out for 5 horses. All seemed well so I headed on to...

I've had a set (2) of chains that an uncle gave me about 10 years ago. All this time I was thinking that they would fit my pickup tires. Well, after remembering I had them and needing them more and more in the last few years I thought I'd put them on my truck. I went to put them on prior to the...

Blueriver posted his SE Oklahoma snow pics and I thought I'd do the same. We're north of him more of a East central location. East of Oklahoma City. They're calling for us to get 8-12" more tonight into tomorrow.:mad:

Congratulations Dodge Man for the member of the month nod. Sorry, due to title length restrictions I had to shorten it to read MOM. Anyway, nice write up and thanks for all the input on numerous threads. FYI, as a youngster I'd considered getting into land surveying but it just didn't work out...

Congratulations Walt! Nice write up. It's always nice to read something about one of TBN's members that we don't already know. I've always enjoyed your input and info that you've shared here. Again, congrats for being TBN's first MOM for 2011!:thumbsup:

Just a little something I saw today. I'm not here to step on any toes of those who support our great TBN site. If I lived close enough to some of our advertisers I'd buy from them for sure. Since I don't I have to buy local and one of the choices I have is a store called Atwoods Farm and Ranch...

For the moment I don't need one. I have in the past considered getting a short bed truck the next time I buy. I've seen these extenders around and have wondered if any of you guys use them and if so what do you think. Also, if you have a short bed and don't use one how is that working?
