My wife and I wish to build a retirement/get away home on our land in Virginia. It may be a while before retirement so it will be get away for a while. We really enjoy the rural location and the peaceful lifestyle. The land was my parents and some has been in the family since late 1800痴. We...

It seems I have problems getting the oil cap on my Stihl saw correctly. On ocasion I have had it come off and I usually know it pretty quick by the oil on my hands or running down my leg. :rolleyes: However yesterday I was cutting some fire wood and then deviated into cutting some green...

I have a 72 or so Super Convertible. After running about a 30 to 45 minutes and getting hot the Tractor will slip or come out of gear, usually the high range. I usually shift into low and can continue but slower. Ideas as to what the issue may be?

I was running the Bush Hog and something hit the rear tire valve stem. The stem was cocked to the side and the tire was leaking air and fluid. I am not sure how to repair so I put air in the tire so I could load the tractor on the trailer. I put some wood blocks under the subframe to hold the...

Though the maintenance does not call for an oil change until 200 hours mine was looking pretty dark. I decided it was a beautiful afternoon and I'd change it. I opened the two oil drain plugs, drained the oil. I then replaced the filter. I saw what appeared to be a place to put oil in the...

My equipment trailer is a 12K lb 20'. It has 16" 8 lug single wheels on tandem axles. I do not have a spare but want to purchase one. The tires on my trailer are 235/80's. I have found some single wheels available with 235/85's. What is the difference? Is it enough to be concerned if I...

I have looked in my owners manual for the weight of my Kubota BH90. I have also searched for BH90 weight on the forum and visited the Kubota website. Still no answer. I addition to wondering about the weight I came upon something that makes me ask another question. There is a statement in the...

I am working to clear some land. Some of the land was meadows 20 to 30 years ago. Currently I have been cutting trees and/or digging out with loader and backhoe. I then use the front end loader to push or pick up what I can to move the brush. I have also been using the bucket to slide rocks...

:DOK bigger is better right? However does it make sense? I have a L4240 with the FEL and BH90. There have been times when removing brush with Front end loader or ground engauging I have thought a bit more horsepower might help. I would also like to have the third hydralic for a front...

I have a Bush Hog SQL-160 that I run with my Kubota. :) When attaching the drive shaft from the Bush Hog to the PTO on my Kubota I have to slide back a collar on the end of the drive shaft as I slide it up on the PTO. This allows the splines to slide up on the PTO. When the 'ball' aligns...

I am looking at purchasing a riding lawn tractor and would like some opinions. Anyone have any opinions. I have about .75 acres that is rolling. I mow, pull a trailer and core aerator. I plan to get a small deck (42") since the yard does have some rolls and natural areas to work around. I...
