Last month I changed the blades on my Bush Hog FTH-480 finish mower. I had two choices of blades..regular or uplift. I didn't know the difference so I just bought the regular. I changed the belt as well while I was there, using the same Napa 73 I always have used on it. Now, when I mow, the...

Does anyone have any good experience with Houston/Texas Gulf Coast Kubota dealers? Normangee tractor has always been fair to me, but they are a ways up the road.. I wonder how much pricing on a new RTV900 would differ from dealer to dealer around here?

I hear a lot of folks say that the tranny is goofy on the 900 and they don't shift easily. I hear other folks say that the hydro is amazing and that you just have to learn how to use it. Does anybody have advice on how to make it more friendly? I'm looking at getting a side by side, and love...

Does anyone have a manual they could share showing the hydraulic hose routing for a LA1002? While disconnecting my shredder yesterday to hook up a PHD, I noticed a lot of hydraulic fluid coming out from the sleeve that contains the hyraulic lines from the belly and rear of the tractor that...

I have about 1,000 linear feet of fencing to do here in the next few weeks. I've decided on treated 2x6x16 rails (pine) on 4x6 posts. Today I went to look at fasteners. I planned on using a framing nail gun with a little compressor powered by my Bobcat welder/generator. But the largest ring...

I somehow sprang some pinhole leaks in 2 of my FEL hydraulic lines. The quick connects are still in great shape. I'm wondering if you guys buy the new lines from TSC or Northern or if you have any other favorites. Should I buy direct from the dealer? I could go to Discount Hydraulic online...

I need to change out my oil seal on the PTO shaft today. For some reason, I thought I was supposed to remove the backing plate...the one with 6 or so bolts securing it. When I picked up the seal from the dealer, however, I was told the old seal just needs to be pulled out, off of the shaft...

I'm wondering if there's a way to lessen the amount of foot pressure needed to engage the tranny on my B7100. I personally have so much seat time on it that I don't even notice. But my wife likes to drive around in Low range, and she says she pretty much has to stand on the pedal to move...

Test driving an M4900 today and everything was awesome about the tractor...low hours, good tires, well tended to, you could tell. But then I ran her up to 540 speed which I think was around 2400 or so. Every time I took my hand off the throttle, the RPM's would drop to between 1800-2000. I...

How do you fellas think would be a way to locate an old house to be moved onto a rural property? We have a small place in Austin County, Texas and spend a few days there each week. Up until now, we've been staying in a Travel Trailer that I just parked up under the barn shed. The kids are...

I was lucky enough to find a great little 48" Bush Hog Finish Mower to pull behind the little B7100. What a great combination! The belt broke on me today and I don't have a manual. When I put on a new belt, do the blades need to be pointed a particular way, like parallel to each other, or...

What's a good price for a Rhino, Bush Hog, or Woods quality? Is it worth it to spend the money on the big name, or will the King Kutters, Howse, etc lines be good enough?

I'm building (or having built) a 40x80 pole barn. I have the posts set already (6x6 square pine). I planned on using wood for trusses, and having the metal sheets put on next. Now I'm wondering if it would be more cost effective to use metal trusses or cees and zees? Just happened to be...

Anyone use one of these on a sub compact? I'm wondering this PHD is too big for my B7100. I have access to one, and we finally got some rain last week.....good time to build that fence!

Does anybody have any editorial regarding little ag tires for my b7100? I've run the turf tires on it so far, and they're pretty useless when wet, but overall okay. It's time for some new ones as these have gashes and plugs and dry rot and everything else....just wondering if I should try the...
