I have a manual grease gun( Lincoln) and an electric one(DeWalt). A few of the zerks on the FEL are recessed. The manual gun has a smaller tip that fits into the recesses. I use a general purpose moly grease on everything. There are 34 grease points on the tractor, 3-point, rear blade, FEL...

Looks like the "love" does not extend to squirrels.

My wife, son and I built our home here. It's a Pan Abobe - double wall. All the windows came already "boxed in". The "box" just had to be set into the open hole. The local distributor recommended that the windows be "sealed in" with urethane insulation. So......that is what we did...

Peace - I think the grill work on your truck looks very sharp. "No chrome" is one small reason I chose my Ram Power Wagon.

I had a similar situation with my Ford 1700. The cure for me - turn draft control completely OFF. Slow the up/down 3-point control WAY DOWN. After a month or so - I was able to return up/down 3-point control to a more normal rate. I think it might have been air in the hydraulic fluid.

I would really hesitate on any sharp, spinning equipment. Accidents WILL happen before anybody can stop them. My son, and a friend of his, come out and help me with one of my major projects. Thinning my pine stands. The steps - identify the trees - fell the trees - drag to several...

Hmmmm......I missed that part about the hydraulic top link also.

I had salt water in my first tractor. The last nine years of ownership - a nightmare. The new Kubota - RimGuard. What a total blessing/relief. Here it will stay below freezing for days - even weeks. Not a chance I'm willing to take - water.

My Kubota M6040 would only fit in my carport stalls with the ROB folded. So.....this was my answer.

42 years - only two tractors. First a Ford - now a Kubota. Both with very similar controls - fortunately. Owners manual is far superior on my Kubota. However - it could be that my interpretation has improved over all this time.

2Lane - that is the same 22 rifle my father bought for me. That was - 1948. Still have it and still use it. Model 510. My son used it to eliminate all the ground hogs in our vicinity.

Hey - I would give a cell phone service provider free access and use of a portion of my property to install a tower. I'm currently on the very fringe of reception. A tower on my property would certainly be nice.

I would like to tell you all what the price of gas is here today - 4/12/24. But - I haven't checked today. YESTERDAY - $5.19 per gallon. At the local Chevron station. Tomorrow's price - who knows...............

What sort of implement(s) are you attaching to your 3-point? I have a Kubota M6040. In ALL cases - my top link is more than adequately long. I wonder. When you lengthen your OEM top link - do both ends extend( unscrew) equally? If you are only unscrewing one end of the top link - this...

I'm not familiar with either grapple. My grapple is Land Pride GS1560. It's a single lid - 820# of AR400 steel. It's a rock & root grapple type. I choose this type because I do not handle items of great variation in size and shape. I pick and move - chunks of pine tree trunk - large rocks...
