Turn the key on without starting. Turn key off. Fuel solenoid will click after about 5 seconds. The fuel solenoid activates when first shutoff. After 5 seconds it releases so as to not run down the battery. This can be seen easily under the hood on drivers side. Yes, a blown fuse will cause it...

Yes, Very rough. Yard is rough, Chuckholes, moleholes, places where I rut it out carrying fire wood. Decks take a beating on the edges of the woods, Front tire linkage wears very quickly. My last tractor I had chains on the rear to make up for turf tires. Chain fell off. Hit it with the deck...

My Kubota has fluid filled rears. Just a lot of as you say, expensive hours on a great little mini-tractor. Lawn mowers are cheap enough. I try to get 5 yrs out of them. Rarely happens.

My yards are sloped to hilly. 2 lakes. Zero-turn mowers are sometimes called "lake magnets" Also not nearly as much fun to run on slopes. Hard to mow faster if you consider the time spent sliding out and pulling equipment from the lake. My lawn tractor mower has a positrak peddle which is often...

I considered a "home made." Bolt-on attach to rear of box scraper?

TPH? I do not know that term. Can a King Kutter Sub Soiler SUB RR be used? It seems to have a much narrower plow. Thanks

Ah, the internet can be a wonderful place. Thanks All! I suppose the trick is knowing where your powerlines and such run 1st :) I've got a Kubota BX-25. I saw one mention of a shear pin. On the one I borrowed years ago I folded the center link. Had to buy a new one. Or I guess I could have...

Several years ago I borrowed a 3-point equipped mini-dozer. On the rear it had what I would describe as a sub-surface plow. It looked a lot like a long scarifier or cutter from a standard grader box. In essence you could lower it several inches into the ground and it carved out a tunnel if you...

If you have a few mounds or hills in your driveway the tractor with a fixed bucket rises and falls with your tires. A float bucket cuts those hills better. Just my take. Some good "u tube" stuff. I learned a lot last year on a cold day. Wanted to teach my son-in-law and make him think I already...

Sorry, Tx Jim, You are wrong about my Kubota BX-25. I'll stand firm. When I hold my lever down It floats. Can see the effect. Not a myth. see BX 3 Point Float Control if you like. Great Kubota site. I do thank you for your contribution. Forums work. It never ceases to amaze me what I do not...

My kubota does not have a "Float" setting on the rear box. But, if I hold the down handle down it floats. Saw it on this forum. Some use a bungie cord. Sometimes "floating" helps
