    b2650 almost rolled need front wheel spacers

    I stuck a liquid filled "inclinometer" (not sure of correct name) at top of my windshield. I have a (non wheel-spaced) L6060 Grand Cab. I was told 15° is about max inclination for this tractor which is fitted with liquid filled R1s. I've just about hit 15° on several occasions & go very slowly...

    Buying Advice Cab or no cab?

    If you can afford the extra $, go for the cab with a/c and as much HP as your wallet allows (up to 45-60hp) plus a front loader. Like you said, although it'll be your first tractor purchase, it'll likely be your last, too, so to avoid regret be as sure as you can to get it right first time...

    Pouring steps down to the creek/swimming hole...nope, never done it before!

    2' wide rope staircase? Anchor top rung to ground, roll up when done. Alternatively, anchor top end to back of a truck/tractor.

    Tractor Insurance

    Got full coverage insurance from Kubota through the dealer rolled into my monthly payments to Kubota America. At the time it was the lowest premium for best benefit.

    Pictures from a skid steer mowing contractor

    Very insightful, guys, thank you for your honesty. I've often wondered what to charge for tractor work - if ever asked.

    Warnings on new Kubota

    Thanks, dear fellow tractor folk. I was wondering if that may be the case but had no reference so parked asap so I could investigate more. Since it obviously didn't regen, will it ask again with same warnings next time on start up? And how long do regens typically last? I'm relieved it's not a...

    Warnings on new Kubota

    We have a '22 Kubota L6060 Grandcab we keep on some property in the FL Panhandle. I was working it reasonably hard ystdy in L 4wd pushing thick bunches of Youpon Holly I had severed at the base with a pole saw with the bucket into the surrounding young Loblollies. If left alone these groves of...

    Cleaning lawn of branches

    Hopefully they weren't breaking the bigger sticks into smaller pieces. You know how enterprising little minds can work sometimes, LOL

    Cleaning lawn of branches

    Yes, bucket would scalp the mounds but following year the area would be that much flatter (LOL)

    Cleaning lawn of branches

    I'm no authority but am familiar with falling branches as is pretty much any property owner with trees. The main problem is not only the variety of thicknesses but also lengths and bulk due to several branches branching off the one fallen branch or lengths of 6 feet or more. Three things came to...

    Seller Beware

    Definitely a scam. Craigslist is full of bots that automatically respond to any & every listing - anything from your granny's underwear to spacecraft and everything inbetween. No serious buyer will offer you more $ than you're advertising and will usu have serious questions about whatever it is...

    Noticeable, regular "lurch" felt on smooth roads.

    Interesting point. However, if left sitting for a while and a flat spot does develop, would not that result in a "dip" instead of a lurch? I have to be careful with the words I use to describe what is happening here. The lurch throws the tractor momentarily "up" on LHS, not down. Also, tractor...
