Hi, I have 230' of smooth interior double wall corrugated outside HDPE pipe, and 130' of schedule 40 6" PVC. At some point, I'm going to need to join the two together. Is there a special adapter made for something like this? I can't find one online. Thanks, Todd

Thanks. Nobody will go near it when it is on. We'll operate it from the seat. Ted, Given some people have tried to apply down pressure from behind the tractor, have you considered welding a pipe fitting to that flat plate at the end of the boom, where the gear box hangs down. Then people...

It will likely drill/dig under 200 holes in the next 2-3 years. I don't think we need down pressure :) Thanks, Todd

Hi Ted, I'm going to be ordering a post hole digger for my 3520 (deere), and wanted to confirm the 6900 HD was the correct size. Also, I'm in NC like you, and plan to use this to make planting trees and shrubs easier. We have decent soil on the property, and I'm wondering if I should go with a...

Too big for me: http://www.auctiontime.com/OnlineAuctions/Details.aspx?OHID=8208625&lp=th Or I'd bid on it and ship it to NC. Even if it cost $1000 to ship, it would make for fast lawn mowing on my 11 acres. The website says the opening bid met the reserve, so this could be a steal for someone...

Hi, I was planning to get a Kioti DK45se HST with loader and turf tires. I'd primarily be using it to cut about 9 acres with a flail mower, and the only other implement I want in the near future is a post hole digger with a 12 or 14 inch auger for planting shrubs and small trees. The property...

I was looking at the specs on the Grand L's, and Kubota has min. ground clearance listed as 14". Clearly that can't be the clearance of the front axle when you have 27" or 29" diameter turf tires on. So are they measuring the ground clearance at the center line of the tractor, or at the...

Hi, I've been looking at the new L40's, as well as the Deere alternatives, and am wondering about something on the L3240/3540 tractors. Deere states their mid-PTO is independent. So you can run just the rear PTO, or just the Mid PTO. Can this be done on the Grand L's? I'm trying to figure...

Hi, I went and looked at Kioti tractors again last week. Happened to be in the right area, but sadly that dealer closed at 3pm on Saturdays. So I didn't get to ask for a quote. The Kioti CK30 HST on their lot looked like a nice sized tractor, and looking online, the CK35 HST is a tractor I'd...

Just asking because I consider the 3520 to be the perfect sized tractor for what I want. Sort of between the Kubota B's and L's, but at this point I'd take an L3540 over it because they appear much more stable on slopes due to simple width. If the L3400 had a mid PTO I'd look at that too...

Has anyone used a 59" or 63" Caroni flail on a B3030, or know if it would handle one comfortably. Thanks, Todd

Hi, Back when I lived in VT, I used a B2710 to mow around 2 1/2 acres, brush hog 5, clear snow, till a garden, and do landscaping. It was capable of doing 98% of what I wanted, and if I needed the pond or creek dug out, we hired someone. Now we're going to build a house on an 11acre pasture...

I'm just re-familiarizing myself with the Kubota Grand L's, and saw that the 3540 has an optional 3rd fxn valve on the loader. I'd like to be able to operate a hydraulic PHD, and was wondering if that valve is sufficient. I know the Long version says it is only for a 4n1, and not for motors...

Hi all, We had our pond and feeder creek re-dug last spring. It now fills with any significant rain, but then it drains back out the feeder creek. I'm trying to design a dam into which I will put a one-way water/sewage valve, so the pond can always fill to the level of the feeder creek, even...

My poor tractor. Life's been so busy for the past few months, that I haven't had her out of the garage. She got so depressed from the neglect, that both her front tires went flat. Had to use the bucket to lift the front end and pump them back up. Took her out for a bit and I think she's...
