    Rim Crack or Seam in Metal

    Our L 3130 has 120 Hrs on it we bought it new two years ago. Yesterday I was washing it and noticed that the back wheels have a crack in the rim. It is more noticable on one than the other. I don't know if this is just a seam in the steel or a true crack. We only use this for bushhogging and...

    Suggestions for mowing around new fence

    We just had a fence build around the perimeter of our property. This is a Bekkaert solidlock fixed knot. I bushhogged after it was finished the other day and I realized that we are going to have to be very careful when getting to the end of the pasture and making a turn that the bushhog will...

    Waiver of Liability hiring a handyman?

    I was just wondering if anyone could offer advice on having some work done? This is just some small things like helping to finish a run in shed and then boxing in some stalls. Nailing boards and maybe tamping in some tee posts. It is hard to do all these things ourselves and we have found...

    How about outriggers for tractors

    Ok, this may sound dumb but after reading all these messages about slopes I have some more questions. I just wondered if there were anything made like a outrigger for tractors? It would be like a bicycle training wheel. So far out Kubota L3130 has not felt unstable. I have been going downhill...

    Can anyone post some pictures of hills

    I was reading on one of the threads about mowing on hills. Someone posted a picture of a 17 degree hill. This was not very steep. I am new at using a bush hog. Monday I am going to the tractor store to buy what ever they have for a tiltmeter. They did have something but not the same thing that...

    PTO came apart while bushhogging

    While I was bushhogging this afternoon I noticed that things were kind of quite behind me. I looked around and the bushhog was not mowing and then when I raised it and lowered it I noticed that the lower part of the PTO was not there. The tractor has 22 hrs on it and the bushhog has even less...

    Groundhog holes

    Well today being our third week with our Kabota, I found a large groundhog hole. We have already bushhoged this area and it gives me a fright to think that this hole was there. The ground is soft and where we mowed it was mostly tall weeds and now some of this is laying on the ground and...

    What to use where the tractor can't mow?

    This is the first time we have been fortunate enought to own a tractor. We recently bought 10 acres and got our first tractor last week. There are a few places that we are not going to be able to use a bush hog. There is a small rock out cropping in the field and then around the outside where...

    Are there any safety classes?

    I have looked at a lot of web sites to learn about the use of this new tractor. Sometimes I do see something mentioned about a safety class but it will be in some far away place. I am in east TN. I have looked over the owners manual and somethings are not clear. Is it ok to ask them on this...

    Please give me safe bushhogging advice

    We bought a new Kubota L3130 DT last week. My husband was raised on a small farm in east TN. He has some knowledge of operating a tractor. He is often careless on a riding lawnmower. He promised to be careful on this tractor. We recently bought 10 acres that is fairly level for TN. There...
