I plow a very large commercial area that is all dirt and can be very soft before it's frozen. Slotted pipe worked just okay. Plow was heavy enough to still dig a little. Also, the pipe seemed like it was wearing pretty quick in the abrasive dirt - even though it was very heavy walled pipe...

I had the same problem on my b2630. Changed hydro filter and this is how it looked! I had been operating on a steep slope and my guess is I sucked up some extra sealant from the transmission case that had settled to the bottom of the sump. Trouble free ever since. That was a couple hundred...

I have a similar post under the Kubota section. For all those who like to stretch their maintenance intervals, check this out. Kubota B2630 with 256 hrs. This excess sealant (I think that's what it is) was in one of my hydraulic filters. Lots of it! It had effected steering effort, which is...

I just did my 300 hour service on my Kubota B2630. A 5 gal. pail of SUDT2 was only another $20, so I figured what the heck, I'll give it a shot. Holy cow! You can't believe how much quieter the tractor is. The hydro whine is all but gone. What you do hear, sounds more refined and less raspy...

Here's the background. B2630 - 260 hrs, 4 year old machine. I know it's not a lot, but I've used the daylights out of the machine for that time. Initial 100 hrs was mostly hard backhoe and loader work. Testing the limits of the machine moving very large rocks and digging out very large...

Just wanted to pass this along to everyone. I lost a spring on the slip clutch that came with my King Kutter tiller. I wanted to get an exact match for a replacement, so I contacted King Kutter for advice on where to find the same one. They connected me with their parts department. The guy...

Check out this score. I traded a Ford 101 2-bottom 12" plow straight up for it. (I only paid $350 for the plow) I've always wanted one, but could never justify it's cost. Has anyone ever heard of this brand? It looks a little like the old Brillions. It has a very nice homemade 3-point...

I'm trying to find out where to get a couple of replacement springs for the slip clutch on my King Kutter tiller. Anyone have any ideas?

Could probably pick these up for a song. They were being shipped in a container onboard a ship. The ship was in a collision in the Houston Ship Channel on Halloween of this year.

I'm starting a new vegetable plot, about 100 x 40. Over the last 2 years, I've cleared and stumped it. I've got a really nice plow and tiller and just seeded buckwheat for the first time to help add some structure to the soil. I'm looking for an implement which I can use after the tiller...

This is really amazing. Never seen anything like it. I'm amazed at how it's geared down like it is, but I realize it needs massive amounts of torque. Check out the way it moves the tractor! It's pretty clever if you ask me. In the second video, look at the way it twists the frame of the...

Those rollover plows amaze me - especially the big ones. One thing I've never really figured out is how does the angle get adjusted so that it accomodates one wheel and then the other down in the furrow? In other words, how is it that the lift arms on the 3pt hitch can keep the plow flat no...

Is there anything more fun to do with a tractor than plowing? Here's a few pics of my handywork from this morning. This is virgin ground. It's been stumped and leveled a bit, but never turned. I've got a Kubota B2630 with unloaded R-4's and I left the loader on. Used the diff. lock the...

Just bought a 5' King Kutter Professional tiller. Got it from Everything Attachments by the way - great price, free shipping to RI - thanks guys!! Do you tiller owners out there run your machines at rated pto speed? Is it necessary, or can they be run a little slower? I'm sort of planning on...
