    Loader  New Equipment

    Well, I resisted for almost two years :shocked:before deciding to get a front loader. When I bought my tractor, it had a kubota la513 loader on it. I wanted the la 724 so I told them to just sale me the tractor as is. Now, my la724 is at the dealership and I dropped my tractor off yesterday...

    2wd vs 4wd

    After reading sixdogs thread about considering a 2wd tractor, I've been thinking about a few of the points that came up. I also didn't want to hijack his thread so I started a new one. I live in the Deep South so snow is totally foreign to me. I'm sure that is a major factor when most of...

    Do All

    Does anybody ever use a Do All? You know, the harrow with a rotating blade in front of it? I just don't read anything about them and even searched with no luck. Well, a few years ago, my dad bought a batwing do all somewhere or another. I'm not sure but I think each section is roughly 6'...

    How to tell when it is too wet....

    Yep! I believe it's wet! Wet from this side too This is the result of learning the ins and outs of plowing with a moldboard. Turned it over deep and let it sit for two weeks or so; then it rains close to a foot in the 10 days after waiting two weeks. Tried to give it a week of sun; still...

    Performance Trailers

    I have plans to get my front end loader in the spring along with two rear remotes. This creates another issue...my trailer is going to be too short with any implement attached. So, seeing as how I can't let that stand in the way of tractor bliss, I'm also looking at trailers. My kubota dealer...

    Rotary Cutter  Which new cutter???

    I am in the "research" stage of looking for a new cutter. The purchase won't be until next spring but I still like gathering data before I make a purchase. First, I have a kubota l3240 4wd tractor with 27.5 pto hp. I want a good 5' medium duty cutter. It will be used on my 117 acre place...

    Front tire issue

    I have a kubota L3240 4wd that is awesome. However I am having a problem in one area. A few weeks ago, I was cutting a drainage ditch with my rear blade and knocked the front left tire off the rim while in the ditch. No problem; took rim off and had cleaned and seated again. I went yesterday...

    Kubota 5100

    I have a friend that is close to buying a Kubota MX 5100 4wd. It has 75 hours on it and a frontend loader. My question is about the rubber boots on the steering cylinders.... they ar both cracked open. The previous owner said it was from bush hogging - totally believable - and the kubota...

    Bush Hog rear blade 50-07

    Well I went ahead and bought the bush hog blade. I did call and get a price on the woods blade from a different local supplier and it was $400 more. It does weigh around 100 pounds more (the woods) than the bush hog blade I got but I just didn't think I would get $400 more use out of it. As...

    Bush Hog rear blade 50-07

    I need some opinions on this rear blade. I have a kubota 3240 4wd tractor and need a medium duty angle blade. My local dealer has this blade in stock and I will be getting a price on it tomorrow. I have a good heavy duty box blade but need an angle blade too. It will be used for road and...
