Agrisupply on the net has been the largest mower blade distributor that I have encountered. I can tell you that OEM blades last longer than generic fit blades. Local sharpening guy pointed this out to me as I was picking up both sets from being sharpened. I also believe brand Oregon is large...
Here is tid bit of information for ground hornets they don’t like orange color tractors. They won’t bother blue color tractors. I know this firsthand at younger age after taking 75 stings. Now I can’t tolerate bee stings after orange tractor ride. I now have to carry epi pens for if stung. They...
I assume use of hydraulic fluid any brand you are taking in consideration there are different viscosities and formulations along additives. Meaning not all “hydraulic tractor fluid (HTF) can be used in hydrostatic drive. Rather (HTF) is for gear drive tractors. I believe Kubota coins phrase...
Looks LS Xr3135 or XR3140. Snow pusher on front. Nice snow blower in background. Typically tractor new brought 26K attachments add another 4K. Open market may be able to get 25k for all shown depending on hours and service records. Good tractor I have one my self.
That smoke you are describing is normal for any non EPA tier controlled diesel in colder weather. Probably does same in warmer temperatures but lesser smoke. This what EPA is chasing on tier 5 motors absolutely no smoke on start up. I can imagine room where EPA has diesel motor on stand starting...
Did anyone verify pH level of antifreeze in the unit prior to replacing it. If the pH level becomes acidic it will eat up the radiator first then work on block. You can use ohm meter to determine if the antifreeze is becoming acidic one lead in the antifreeze and other on known ground. If...
Use pto pump on tractor, can be as simple building sprayer using 50 gallon plastic drum. Purchase 3pt carry all place drum on carryall affix as required could use ratchet straps or get elaborate. Cut bottom outlet hole install bulkhead fitting large 2” of course you will need cut hole in top of...
At 35hp you’re dealing with tier 4 emissions. If using for finish mowing 25 hp will be less hassle in the long run. However if doing heavy work 35 is minimum HP. Kioti is just as reliable as the others with better price point. Kubota is king but not much bells and whistles unless you willing to...
2424 is more like 404 - 40 hp 4 cyl gas the 606 is 60 hp - 6 cyl is this gas or diesel both were available for 606. Parts are available as stated. Manuals for repairs available, tons of YouTube mechanics you can follow that work and restore these tractors. Cheap horsepower over compact diesel’s...
You are correct on breather also pay attention to lube used. Some lubes build pressure under heat where breather is needed. I have in the past heated oil and put in gear box to assure if it’s expanding it will happen after heated. When cooled it may fall beneath check plug which is ok. You’re...
Thanks had not had my first cup of coffee this morning when responded. He needs to run the unit more often to see if fighting fuel issues or really burning oil. Takes a lot abuse or excessive hours to burn oil even then it’s minimal unless it’s had hard life. Typically use soot control oil in...
Does tractor smoke at idle or under load. You stated the tractor sits most of the year until snow time. Typically diesel needs to be ran monthly to assure lubricity both motor and transmission.You may have diesel fuel issues more so than you know. I have in the passed mixed kerosene and diesel...
Yes that is worry to further investigate bolt hardness if not running slip clutch. Fairly daring person to weld bushog blade. Talk about imbalance to the gearbox and pto drive line. That is unless they balanced the opposite blade to offset the welded one. Blades are not cheap as yesteryear but I...
Grade 5 on shear bolts. Typically you have tractor at or near idle then engage pto. Rough on tractor and implement trying to start at higher pto rpm. Start low then take up to speed. Some run once started at pto speed I tend to be under few hundred rpm’s. Tractor already responds in loaded...
Let’s step back here for second and ask the bushog tall sided or short height. Why taller the wall side the less horsepower needed as you have more time to chew up material with taller wall height. Granted 19 hp on 5 foot bushog is minimal HP however I have been doing it with woods bushog for...
