    Where to go for rear tire replacement???

    Our local farmers COOP sells and mounts them. They even have a field repair truck that will do it on location.

    Filters and fluids, name brand or generic?

    When I did the first filter change on my L2501 I was surprised to find not a Kubota filter but a Donaldson.

    Odd shaped Trailer stuck on the RR tracks.

    Bruce that's it. Very few trucks with a long trailer can make that second curve. A little further on is one lane over the bridge with a temporary timed traffic light. When it changes a parade of 19 or 15 vehicles heads that way then they meet a truck. Guess who has to back up? Hint. It's not...

    Odd shaped Trailer stuck on the RR tracks.

    WOW! You two nailed it. Thanks so much. I got a call from TDot supervisor this morning. They are working on a fix. As it turns out they cant work on any road section so many feet from a RR track. The rail line has to do it. So they met yesterday to start a joint effort to fix it. There are...

    Odd shaped Trailer stuck on the RR tracks.

    I live out in a farming community in Chuckey TN, the area that was torn apart recently by hurcane Helene. We used to have about 10 bridges that crossed the Nolachuckey River but now we are left with 3 1/2. The 1/2 is only one lane instead of 2. Of course this has caused some problems because now...

    White lithium grease on cylinder rods

    My motor home has 4 hydraulic leveling feet. Almost all of use (as in tens of thousands over the years) have been told to use silicone spray before retracting after long camp-overs. The same is true on the rubber side flaps on the slide outs. In theory silicone conditions the seals, "washes of...

    Anyone ever had to clear thorny Locust trees?

    Rent/hire an excavator to clear them out and pile them all for burning. Steel treads, operator in a safety cab. Once cleared use a bush hog to keep them down.

    Is a subcompact under 25hp enough power?

    I have a Kubota BX2380 (21.6 HP) and a Kubota L2501 (24.8HP). I am amazed at both. The BX2380 has a 5 foot mowing deck and a quick release front loader. I often hitch up a 5 foot bush hog or a 5 foot scraper. Probably shouldn't but they work ok with light duty jobs. The L2501 Has a front...

    Best subcompact for the money

    Nice mower! Just curious did you get that optional mulching kit for your deck? If so how well does it work especially in high grass?

    Best subcompact for the money

    No intent here to start a orange vs blue vs green. But I was faced with this same problem 15 years ago when we purchased a small farm in TN. I needed to be able to mow the lawn and clear brush etc. so I oped for a small BX series Kubota. I like the small tractor for it virsatility. I can mow...

    BH77 backhoe on L2501 - use both seats at same time?

    Looking to buy the BH77 bachoe to put on my L2501. I already have a BX25D but I want more "Umph" on stumps than the BX25 provides Some questions: 1. Can you have one person on the backhoe seat and another on the tractor seat to move it along as you dig? 2. Do you have to remove all the 3...

    Safe way to change a belt on RCK60 deck on BX25

    Some ideas please on a safe way to relieve the spring tension to remove the belt. I have had a bad experience on another mower trying to remove the spring. Messed up a finger pretty bad. When I removed the belt on the RCK60 yesterday to drain the gear box I just forced the belt over the farthest...

    Good price for a BX25D? Also what about extended warranty

    Today I negotiated a Kubota BX25 with backhoe, 60 inch mower deck, front loader with quick change, and a canopy top. It was a opening day special and I got it all for $19,400 and 0% financing for 5 years. Think this is a good price???? For $1300 more I can buy an extended warranty that adds 2...

    How do you edit the title of a post

    The title of one of my post is wrong. I can't find a way to correct it. Is it possible to fix one?
