When we bought our house 12 years ago, it came with an old half fallen down shed we affectionately named the "nostalgic" shed. I found out from the previous owners that it was built in the late 40s or early 50s and had survived hurricane Camille and since hurricane Katrina. It leans hard to...

Ok i've been looking for a z turn mower for about two years now and suffering from both sticker shock and not wanting to have buyers remorse. Yesterday I found a used 2005 Scag Turf Tiger with a liquid cooled Kawi engine and 280 hours for 6k. Is that a good price? What should I look for when...

Oh gurus of all things four wheeled, I need you help. I am now in the market for a zero turn mower after kicking tires the last couple of years. I am trying to stay around 5k for a mower used mostly to mow my 3 acre yard. I've looked at Toro, Gravely, Scag, Big Boy, Cub cadet, ex mark...

Hi all, I have a yellow jacket problem. The CFO went out to water the flowers this evening and noticed a bunch of "horseflies" around the cattails. She wanted an expert to come out and look. I went out and saw a few hundred yellow jackets swarming around. I suggested that she skip watering...

Yikes! They\'re peeling out in my new driveway Howdy all, Last week I finally resurfaced part of my driveway. I put 1200 dollars worth of Limestone on it. I spent a couple hours with the backblade leveling the stone and making it "fan" out at the road. It looked very nice until this...

Who\'s on first? Hi all, My wife and I purchased a house and 28 acres last year. Over the next 5 years id like to build a barn, put up a fence around the pasture, concrete or black top the driveway and dig a pond. My question is where do i start first? My wife complains most about the...

Howdy, Just noticed today while playing on my tractor that the RPM gauge has stopped working. I checked the fuses and they seem ok. Any "cheap" ideas on how to fix it or what to check to make the gauge work again? Thanks

Hi all, I have about half a mile of fences that I keep well groomed. They need attention about 4 or 5 times a year it seems. I have been trimming them with a heavy duty string trimmer. Packing that thing around is getting old (especially after about 2 to 3 hours). How do yall keep your...

Hi all, Just changed all my fluids and filters yesterday. This am I noticed that 1 of my oil drain plugs and 1 of my transmission drain plugs had small leaks. I tried to tighten them more but small leaks still remain. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to stop these? The kubota oil and...

Hi all. Today I changed all the fluids and filters on my recently purchased L2050. It was a chore to say the least. I made every attempt to follow the manual and only changing one fluid and filter at a time. After completing this daunting task, I cranked the tractor and checked for leaks...

Thanks for the replys to my earlier post. The L2050 arrived via my dad Saturday. I unloaded it off the trailer and played with it for about two hours. I plan to change all fluids and filters before I use it again (The previous owner never changed fluids during the 9 months he had it). I...

Hi all, Im looking at a kubota L2050 for 6900 dollars. Its 25hp 4wd and has a loader. Its dinged up a bit but started right up doesnt smoke and everything works on it. Is this a good price for this tractor? My second question is can I use this tractor? I recently bought 28 acres with a 15...

Hi all New to TBN but have seen much useful info here. I'm currently in the market for a compact tractor. I found a local mom and pop dealer that sells used yanmar grey market tractors. They have a 2610d tractor on their lot with a front end loader. This model is 4 wheel drive, power shift...
