So like many, I am getting tired of getting cold and wet when blowing my drive. I have a 2011 MX5100 that I love and it痴 my second Kubota. I just received a quote for a hard cab for $4k FOB US. Adding a heater and lights will add another $600-700. Seems like a decent price albeit it痴 not like...

Decided to get out and clear the driveway around 3pm today and the tractor would not initially start. It had power and I had used it earlier in the day no troubles. I thought perhaps it was the kill switch stuck so I checked under the seat and it was operating okay and then checked some of the...

So I have decided to keep my MX5100 and take it with me to the USA. I have done a lot of research on what is required and have the proper docs for customs/homeland security to review. My one issue is that while the engine is EPA compliant and Kubota Japan nicely applied a label on the engine...

We are planning a move to our house on the Maine coast and while it does have an attached garage, it's not sized for my Kubota. I had a local contractor who built my attached garage last winter quote me a 32'x40' and a 24'x32' as I would love the former but with other projects to pay for, e.g...

We have plans to move from Ontario to Maine in the coming months and I have a dilemma. I love my tractor (Kubota MX5100) and would like to bring it along to our new place even though we will not have as much acreage. Unfortunately my Nissan Frontier is not up to the task of hauling it. My...

So I finally a completed garage and had always planned to move a pellet stove I have never used from my basement (it was never operated, just stored there). The obstacle though was moving it upstairs and out the door and I thought a decent dolly would do the job, yeah right! After strapping it...

What do you do with new trails that tend to be very muddy? Do you cover them with anything? I've been playing with the idea of purchasing a chipper and chipping all the hardwood branches to cover the trail that currently is mud/earth due to installing some tile drainage to reduce surface runoff...

Purchased it last Saturday and on Sunday split a couple face cords. Works well and am glad I finally own a splitter as I heat with wood and renting was getting really tiring. Also like I don't have another gas engine to maintain as I am not the best at doing that. Next item to buy is a...

I have an area that was in amongst a lot of trees and I have since thinned it out to increase the sunlight to the garden and hopefully reduce bugs a little. I removed all the stumps and some of the larger stones however the ground itself is very uneven and there are still some sugar maples that...

Came across a nearly new chipper locally and what thought was a Wallenstein turns out to be a reproduction. Something called Sunnyvale.com or something to that effect. I looked it over carefully and like I said almost identical and it runs real well being new. I'm nervous about buying it though...

Anyone make their own maple syrup? We are thinking of starting this year as we have a lot of large sugar maples on our property and a good number of them are close to the house and trail so fairly easy access. Just wondering how you evaporate, wood or propane? And if wood, how do you do it...

Anyone purchased one? I saw one thread where I believe someone did however it was an older thread and did not get a lot out of it. I'm considering buying a chipper as I have a lot of branches (2"-8") and such all over my property mainly hardwood with some poplar as well. I have rented a unit...

Okay it's a play on one of my all time favourite movies but I thought it was appropriate. I have a low spot on my property that is thick with trees of all kinds and unfortunately is essentially peat for the first 24" down. This makes for difficulty walking in the Spring until about late June...

So I picked up the Fiskars X27 (36") a couple weeks back as I could not take the plunge on a 3pt splitter for my tractor. This is the best maul I have ever used and I don't tire using it compared to my other one. Here's a few pics of the results: White birch White ash & Ironwood And a short...

I'm in the market to purchase a splitter and would like to understand how the hydraulics work (or what's needed) for a Kubota. I searched the hydraulics forum and saw a lot of threads about 3pt splitters but couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for. Specifically I have a BH92 so I have a...
