    Wright Fence Mower for Horse Wire Mesh

    I am looking for experienced opinions on using a Wright Fence Mower LLC Model FM30 (www.fencemower.com) for trimming next to a horse wire mesh fence around a 5-acre horse pasture. The mesh goes all the way to the ground, so no mowing under it, and need to mow on both sides of fence. The fence...

    B7510 PTO wont disengage

    Maybe I am mis-understanding your question, but I always push the clutch in to engage, disengage or change RPM selection for PTO on my B7500. My manual says, "To avoid damage of transmission, before shifting the PTO gear shift lever, fully disengage the main clutch." Pg 36 of Operator's Manual

    Caroni TL 1500 Flail mower burning belts

    My experience exactly! So much heat makes no sense. When you eliminated the Belt stretcher did the outer cover still heat up? When you pulled apart the belt stretcher assembly did you notice if the internal bearing was good or bad? Hank - When the belts stopped smoking, I stopped checking the...

    Caroni TL 1500 Flail mower burning belts

    I don't recall ever touching the tensioner, but the outer cover was too hot to hold my finger against. My belts would disintegrate and leave a black sooty mess.

    Caroni TL 1500 Flail mower burning belts

    Hankstone40 - I have a TL 1500 FSC that I bought new in 2011. I cut about 30 acres of horse pasture per year. I used to "smoke" the drive belts frequently. I tried many things including better belts, matched belts, kevlar belts, serious tightening the belt tension (required running with cover...

    B2781 blower on a B7610 question

    johnk369 - Wholegoods are ordered and sold by the new tractor salesman at my Kubota dealership. If you don't have a dealer, call the nearest Kubota dealer and ask for "Sales". You may have to talk to more than one salesman before you get one knowledgeable in Wholegoods. A WARNING if you are...

    At the point in my life.....

    pattyt21 - As explained by others, the quick attach allows you to easily exchange buckets, forks, and other attachments to your loader arms. My quick attach is specific (not skid steer) for Kubota BX attachments, so my bucket had to be modified. This also allows me to mow and do other tasks...

    Chains Turnbucklles b7500

    Allen - I don't believe that you will find a Kubota telescoping stabilizer kit for the B7500. My local dealer"s whole goods salesman could not find one. Messicks told me they do not have such a kit for the B7500, although they are buying and selling locally-made conversions for other B-Series...
