Thank you.

I like your "...external bell ringer to help vibrate the sticky clay out of the bucket...." However, I don't think my neighbors would appreciate your creative ingenuity as much as I do. 😁

WranglerX: Thank you for clarifying my thought process. And as a PSA: My previous post, boys and girls, is why one should not post on the interwebs after taking Ambien. (≧︿≦) I "spaced out" and failed to realize that my original plan to use my slings two at a time, by slipping one loop...

@rScotty, Could I impose (further--LOL) upon you, and ask you to expand on your "...D rings rigged for use with nylon straps..." ? Because I, too, have nylon slings in various lengths and widths, but the loops on them are too big to fit through a shackle. However, they do they don't look...

Hi All, I've just added one of Ken's Bolt-On Hook's excellent clevis kits and, due to a helpful suggestion from a fellow TBN member (rScotty), I realize I need to get some "D-Rings" I can use with the nylon lifting slings I have, which have nylon loops at each end. You can see the clevis kit I...

mikester: Thank you--I hadn't considered the effect of gloves. Unfortunately, given that my bucket is narrower (or at least, built differently) from the backhoe bucket on the red tractor I posted earlier, I won't be able to work a shackle pin while wearing gloves, given how close the bucket's...

Hi all, I bought some of Ken's excellent Bolt-On Hook products some time ago, and am only now getting around to putting the Bolt-On Clevis Mount (for a shackle) on the backside of the backhoe bucket on my BH77, on my B3000HSDCC. I can't remember why I didn't buy both the chain hook and the...

Wow--this is news to me--thank you!

Guilty as charged (i.e,. I haven't read the whole thread yet). But re: an OWNER's manual, my used Kubota came with an Owner's manual--for the tractor and every implement. It did not come with a SHOP manual, so I paid Messick's about $100. for (a paper copy). My gripe is that I do not have a...

Thank you--and I couldn't agree more about "SAFETY."

Wow--that is impressive! We have a few Ruger 10/22's ourselves--I will check them out for that warning, next time, myself. And YES--I could not agree with you more, on the SAFETY aspects of OEMs providing free manuals!

Does anyone have a .pdf of the Kubota B3000HSDCC Workshop Manual? I paid Messick's (over $100., IIRC?) for a hard copy, but did not receive a .pdf copy, which would make searching SO much easier--especially since I find the way the manual is organized to be somewhat confusing. So I'm not...

Local store outside Albany, New York's site is up and running.

Hi all, I'd like to ask if anyone can recommend a good, lightweight cover for a compact tractor for INDOOR storage. Our (cabbed) Kubota B3000 has the BH77 backhoe and FEL on it, currently, so it's 18.5' Long x 7'1" High, and the FEL's bucket and mower deck are both 5' wide. I would like a...

Hi all, I need to find a shipping company that will transport my Kubota B3000 HSDCC approximately 130 miles (2 hours, per Google's "Driving Directions"), within the state of NY. The starting zip code is 10901 (about 30 mi. north of NYC) and the destination is 12140 (a few miles outside of...
