    Backhoe vs Tractor with backhoe

    I have the tractor with a BH and once the BH is mounted in June - it stays on until October. I don’t have a brush hog so I finish my drive grading and spring tilling then install BH. In the fall I finish digging projects, do fall grading and tilling then set up for snow plowing. I’m fortunate I...

    Just bought an l4060

    Same as Rj. Once in awhile the dream-o-meter reads 17 on flat ground. I too have the factory 3rd function. Don’t have anything to use it with yet. How many rear remotes did you get? I went to hydraulic top link a year or so ago, really like it. I have the BH92 backhoe so I can’t do TnT (or so...

    Tiller Tiller size

    Yes, pretty easy ground too. We have a lot of clay but it’s buried below the depth that you can till.

    Price Check Grand L6060HSTC 4x4 ordered two days ago - hope I made the right call!

    Home - Werk-Brau Yes, my fab guy did it and said it was a little bit of a PITA. Werk Brau used to make buckets for Kubota (I heard) and they may have a flat face already. The 16” tooth bucket from Kubota is around $1,100. I got it for $900 a couple years ago. Don’t go less than 16” or you’ll...

    Tiller Tiller size

    I have a 6’ Dirt Dog and 34hp at the PTO. I kind of wish I’d have gone to 7’ as this one matches my tire width so it’s a little hard to till up close to things. Here it is in operation.

    Who Listens to a Stereo in their Cab'd Tractor?

    I went with recommendations here and put a Jensen head unit and Kickers speakers in, use it all the time. I’m interested in the sub idea and might put that in next time I pull the top. Maybe leave the sub up above headliner, strapped down?

    I don’t have an answer for you on that but you’re gonna like that BH. Check your subframe bolts after awhile of use, I had a few that needed to be torqued up. I have the QA bucket and have the 18” toothed bucket and I ordered a 16” and removed the teeth, for a flat face. The thumb tines still...

    kubota backhoe hydraulics

    And, don’t let anyone move your 3PH lever when BH is attached or you’ll blow a cylinder. I made this to remind me.

    Backhoe attachments

    I leave my hoe on all summer and taking it off is fast but, with Kubotas installing the 3PH linkage takes me a bit. You’ll get all kinds of thoughts on a dedicated BH (TLB) versus a BH on a subframe on your tractor. However, most agree - stay away from 3PH backhoe.

    Backhoe Owners - How do you cover the outrigger feet?

    Install the backhoe shoes to eliminate catching on sharp edges. I use a chain to keep stabilizers from creep, same with bucket.

    Next time you have your roof off will you take a pic for us?

    MX6000 Air Conditioning

    2nd on the rivnuts my last one at the back I was in a hurry and cross threaded. It spins so I had to take off filter and hold it with vice grips while I threaded it in. I’ll epoxy them next time roof is off. Taking it off is ok but putting those long bolts in and getting them started was a PITA...

    Rototiller

    I have the Dirt Dog 206, 6’ and my 40 hp (34 hp at PTO) has no trouble with it. It barely covers my tracks so I think a 7’ would be ok for you.

    Follow this post for a bit. Installing Reflectix might help. I’ve heard window tinting helps too. What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    TODAYS SEAT TIME

    Thought I’d extend chains for stabilizers flipped, and transport mode, actually went ok. Been wanting to pull off BH plate and lube everything, went ok until I put plate back on. Stripped the threads on 1 bolt (of 4). Geez, seems like I’m always fixing something! Wife says “you like to tinker...
