Hello all. It's been a while since I have been on the forum. I have been in the process of selling my hobby farm and moving to AZ. I have a party that is interested in buying the farm and wants to know what I want for my tractor and equipment. What I have: Kubota MX5000 with LA852-2 loader and...

I have a 2006 Kubota MX5000 with 225 hours on it. It has the mechanical shuttle shift 8FW/4R. It also has one rear remote added by Kubota dealer. The tractor has an LA852 loader and a ballest box. I have checked around and found several listed for around $20K that are close to this. The tractor...

I am selling off my equipment and have had a few people ask me if they can connect to a Quick Hitch. since i don't use a QH I have no idea. The equipment is a 6' SBX 720 Bush Hog box blade and a 7' Leinbach Root Rake. Anyone use a QH with this stuff?

I am selling my rotary cutter and have not been able to find out how much I should be asking for a used one. I did find a new 2009 model that the dealer said he would sell for around $1600. If anyone knows the going rate I would appreciate the help. BTW: the Woods HC72 is the standard duty 6'...

advertized my tiller for sale in the local craigs list. You would not believe the number of people that are all to busy with important obligations to even come see it but are willing to send me a bank note, chaiers check etc. "Thank for your mail. I'm satisfied with the condition of it as...

This is kind of a hard post to write. My wife has finally admitted to me that the horses scare her to the extent that she doesn't want to ride. I love horses and I love my tractor/equipment but it's a big investment as you all know. Adding fuel to the fire I have been offered a job in...

I was snow blowing this morning and my buhler/Farmking 740 started to make a noise. Sounded like something was getting banged around in the auger. I couldn't find and thing like a rock/ice. started to check for loose bolts and such and touched the main fan bolt and it came out in my hand! I...

I used my blower for the first time this year and broke my first shear pin/bolt. The manual calls for a 5/16" shear bolt. The hole on my 740 only takes a 1/4" bolt max. Funny thing is the unit came with a couple of spare 5/16" shear bolts. :confused: I was able to run the blower fine with a 1/4"...

I'm not sure this is the proper forum for this question but.... I have a block heater that I'm going to put in/on my Kubota MX5000. the instrustion say that the best place to put it requires the hydraulic pump to be removed. Just curious why it can not be installed on the other side of the...

I am considering buying a trailer that I can use to haul my tractor/loader around on or haul some large square bales of hay 3 x 3 x 8' ~ 800 lbs. the tractor is a Kubota MX5000 4wd and weighs around 3700 lbs without the loader LA852. I am guessi9ng that the tractor loader weighs around 5000 lbs...

I have a old quonset metal storage shed that the roof has started to rust on. Is their a product made that you can paint over the rust and seal it up? I did a search and found one mention of some sort of aluminized roof sealant. Is this made for painting over the rust?

I know i have seen threads about loading tractor tires with rim gaurd, or whatever. I searched but didn't find anything. Is it possible to do this your self? I don't have a trailer to take it to the shop for them to do it and I NEED more weight. So with out spending a couple of hundred for them...

I have been trying to get by using the FEL to move the big snow but its just getting out of control. I have about 200 - 300 yards to clear so I can get hay to my horses. The snow here in SE MN is DEEP. With the drifts and all the snow is 4 - 5' in places. I was out this morning moving the drift...

The other day I got my Polaris Sportsman ATV really stuck in the deep crusty snow that we have. I had my tractor out so I just picked it up with the FEL and tiedown straps. everything was fine until I sat it back down. I lowered the FEL to far and it hit the brake reservoir and snaped it off...

I know this question is out of season but I was curious if any of you horse owners use a landscape rake to bust up the piles in the summer?
