. 2014 Cub Cadet GTX 2154, 180 hours. My buddy had traded for it and didn't need it. I've been wanting a new mower so he left it for me to keep or sell for him. It mows really nice but is way too big for my yard so I posted it for sale. A guy shows up to try it out and this thing has made me...

Hello, Trying to add pics from phone using new iPhone app. They worked a few short days ago but now says "pics disabled from app" I CAN add them to this thread it seems. Yup, that worked. Why won't it let me on the other thread? Edit, Never mind, I went back, using the same method as...

Rhino SE15-4A flex wing mower. I've been told it is a light duty model, I don't think it is based on weight and overall construction, but I've been wrong that one time before. Was clipping some grass and the tone of the mower suddenly changed. No pop or bang. Didn't hit anything (today...

We just got new front load Samsung washer and dryer for the new place, very nice units. What I'm having trouble with is the washer likes to scoot out about 6" during a cycle. It runs smooth, never hear it at all. The dryer makes noise, thumping off balance type noise (with jeans or other...

Any one seen or heard about this? Saw this one today as I was taking a short cut across their parking lot. Do they take trade ins or something?

So, we have just closed on a house. It's in a neighborhood, in city limits, which are both new for me (lived in the county my whole life). Anyway, I'm concerned that my newly acquired prefab shed will be smashed by a tree fork that originates on a neighbors yard. In my mind I have...

I just ran across this and hadn't seen it posted yet. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission: Kubota Recalls Utility Vehicle

iPhone 6 Will this app ever receive updates? There are things I like about it but there are more I don't. Off the top of my head the dislikes are... 1) If I edit a post all paragraph structure is lost, and the edit becomes a wall of text. 2) If I try to upload more than one pic at a time I...

Hello all! We are currently looking for a new gun safe for pistols only. The majority of which are semi auto ranging from full size to sub compact, with a couple snub-nose revolvers thrown in for fun. At most we are talking 10 pistols for this safe. Most are in factory cases but if a safe...

With cattle as high as they are right now all us cattle guys worry about this. Please spread the word. 21 head of cattle stolen from Hawkins County farm http://wcyb.m0bl.net/r/244a96

Calving season has arrived. That means a lot of late nights. It came to my attention tonight that my spot light has bit the dust. I suspect the battery has corroded, because I can't even pry it loose from the base. It is a Brinkman Max Million, it worked great last year even in -0 temps in...

iPhone 5 here, running the latest update. Just now I wanted to start a new thread in the Kubota owning/operating section. Clicked "new thread" then the normal screen where you add a title shows up but its all greyed out with a box at the bottom that says something like "add prefix", problem is...

We've had our share of snow in the past three weeks, it will warm up enough to make a muddy mess, rain then refreeze and snow some more. I've honestly lost count of how much we've had over all. Yesterday it got up in the 50's melting most of what snow was left and causing some minor flooding...

Well guys I guess she isn't a baby anymore. About two hours ago, while loading a trailer with hay, my little girl rolled 1,000 hours. I had a swig of bourbon and thought of all the things we've done together over the past few years. All the trees we've grubbed, bushes we've...

I am in the process of adding some aux lighting to my tractor. I know just enough about this type stuff to be dangerous and usually learn by trial and error. (Aka "f'ing something up, scraping half a day work and starting over") I'm trying to do this right the first time. I need help...

My laptop is broke down and in the shop, girlfriend left me hers to use. It was issued to her by her university (to keep) and runs Win 7 Enterprise. It prompts you to "press CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on" Followed by a user name and password. Today when I try to log on it says "no log on...

This year we found this weed in a hay field I have had rented for several years. It is growing in a circle about 30' across. Not knowing what it was I disc mowed around it and bush hogged it later. Anyone got any idea? It is pretty eaten up in the second picture...

iPhone 5 I am still having problems editing a post from the app. Each time a post is edited all paragraph structure is lost and the post becomes one giant paragraph. I have deleted and reinstalled the app at least twice in the past months with hopes of fixing the issue. Please help.

I have been asked a few questions about my solar fence charger set up after responding to another electric fence thread. I had good intentions of posting about the set up when I built it but never took the time. Here goes, pics to follow... -- I started out with a Stafix x6i energizer with...

Can a dump trailer solenoid be replaced using a remote automotive type solenoid? It's on a Carry On 10' trailer but can't remember the name of the power pack. Pics to follow.

Hello guys and gals, My girlfriend will be graduating nursing school this fall. We have been looking very casually for our first home together and she has been on my tail to get her a ring. Some real nice folks that own property which connects to my family farm have bought another home...

This afternoon a calf was born and I arrived just a few minutes (10-15) later. His mother was cleaning him off but I quickly noticed something wasn't right. He had problems breathing, quick breaths and a rapid heart rate. I cleared the junk in his nose and mouth and laid him on a table with...

I was sitting here half watching TV and half browsing TBN. One of those ambulance chasing lawyers just played an ad for big cash settlements (or what ever they always promise) to people who had been injured by a table saw. Dear God. I cut my wittle finger with a Case pocket knife the...

I have been looking for a way to haul two bales of hay at a time on the 3pt. A dealer had a double spear set up but it was like $650, yeah right. I remembered this old Hesston Hay stack mover that my Grandpaw used back in the day. It works pretty good after I readjusted the tine spacing...

This tank followed me home the other day. It's 3 years old, double walled 500 gal (I think :confused: ), 12v pump with ~20' cables, Goldenrod filter set up, auto nozzle with 20' hose. All included is a little north of $1200 new, I scored it for $400 delivered! It has some crud...

I was cruising around the interwebs and ran across this. I'm not even sure what to say. 1962 intenational rat-rod (ky)

My dealer knew I'd been searching for a top handle saw. Today he called to tell me he had only one Husqvarna T435 left and if I wanted a good deal to head on over ASAP. I'm a Stihl guy, but the deal he gave me I couldn't pass up. How many shades of orange (Kubota, Allis Chalmers...

A local nursery is winding down for the year and possibly not returning in the spring so they had everything on sale. I asked if they would make deal on a large purchase of 5 gallon fruit trees, mostly Yellow Delicious apple. They sold me 24 five gallon fruit trees for $300, which would...

Tonight I received a voicemail to the Google Voice phone number I use for Craigslist. The caller wanted to buy an item I had listed some time ago, I actually thought the add would have expired by now. He stated he wanted to pay cash and could pick the item up immediately. Sounds good right...

Hello, I've been having a small issue using the TBN app on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7. If I make a post and later need to edit it, for spelling or what ever, the edited post is stripped of the space between paragraphs, making one huge unreadable paragraph. I can go back and add them but...

Today a friend called to see if I had time to go help him get a few things his Dad bought at an equipment auction on Saturday. While we were waiting for our turn to load we walked through some of the junk they had and came upon this little Deere 35D that was bent up pretty bad but other wise...

A few of you may know I've been trying to get a bush hogging service started. Last week I had a nice 35 - 40 acre job about 18 miles from home. I moved the tractor and mower on Thursday evening and put in about 10 hours overall on Friday. Just as I was getting done the owner shows up and...

I went to see my dealer the other day to BS and he mentions a "load of junk out back" that was just traded for. So we ride around back to check it out. Among the junk is a Kodiak HD 8' pull type bush hog he thinks I might like and shoots a price of $800. Acting like I was less than impressed...

Hello All! I am wanting to get serious about bush hogging for others. Before something happens I'll later regret I'm wanting to get some insurance. What do I need to look into? General liability? Anything else? Thanks, Derek

Today I am fiddling with my Dad's 2004 GMC 3500 Duramax. The marker/park/running lights (whatever you wish to call them) will not burn. The problem started when he took the center cluster of cab lights loose due to one bulb not burning, after he put it back together none of them work. We put...

I've had my 15' Rhino bush hog behind the 9540 for a few days clipping pasture. This afternoon I thought everything had been going way too easy. I was right. I was chugging along at about 4-5 mph and suddenly heard a bang, turned around and the mower was no longer attached! The hitch pin had...

Hello all! I have been looking for a camera that would stand up to life on the farm. I had been using my iPhone 4s in a Lifeproof case, but it wasn't doing everything I wanted. Last week I settled on a GoPro Hero3 Black edition. It is a very cool camera with lots of accessories such as...

I just had a little over an acre of bare-root hardwood trees planted (125 total) as part of my EQIP project. They guy that planted them said the soil type was great, the timing of planting (early April) was great and I could expect 85% - 90% survival rate. I am wanting to increase this...

Alright gentlemen, my dear ol' Dad bought this at an auction on Saturday. I don't even know if it works. Actually I haven't even got around to bringing it home yet! Anyway I was wondering if you all could tell me two things... 1) What is the approximate year of this rig? 2) Was $110 in an...

Hello everyone, I'm in a position where I need to order some business cards. I know exactly what I want to have on them except one little detail, I don't know what to put as my job title. I know that sounds ridiculous but this is a new position in the company. I work for an equipment...

I've been on the hunt for a 15' bushhog for my M9540. The primary use will be clipping open pasture but will occasionally see some cedar trees, rose bushes, rocks and all the other good stuff you can find on overgrown, neglected rented ground. It's been muddy this week and I've pretty much got...

I thought I would share my experience of installing some water line and two livestock watering facilities. With these two waters I now have a total of six Mirafount waters for the cattle. The project began in mid/late October and was wrapped up a couple weeks ago. Here are the things I did...

I recently needed to replace the nozzle on my fuel transfer tank that lives in the bed of my truck. I bought the best one they had at Home Owner Supply (Tractor Supply) that fit a 3/4" hose. ~$50 It is supposed to shut off on it's own like the ones at the gas station but it doesn't. I took...

Here are a few common tractor acronyms off the top of my head. Please add more. BB- Box Blade BH- Back Hoe or Bush Hog 3PH or 3pt- Three Point Hitch PTO- Power Take Off PHD- Post Hole Digger FEL- Front End Loader MMM- Mid Mount Mower ROPS- Roll Over Protective Structure HST- HydroStatic...

I've had this thing for several years. I got it from my Grandfather. IIRC someone gave it to him, He had no idea what it was used for and neither do I. Any ideas? BTW..It says "BLACKHAWK MADE IN USA" and "MAX 4 1/4 inches" It comes up to the front pocket rivet on my Wranglers, I'm 6'1"...

I mowed some hay on the halves for a guy this year. Second cutting isn't worth anything at all. I should be charging him for cutting his weeds. Anyway I was raking it today and found these little guys. A bunch of them actually and I have no idea what they are. I have lived within two...

I got a call from a man right down the road from me who wanted some board fence built. He had no way of doing it himself and went to the Kubota dealer to ask around who could do such work. They gave him my number. :thumbsup: He knew exactly what he wanted as it needed to match some existing...

I thought I'd share some pictures taken while bush hogging. Still can't believe they pay me to do this, I absolutely love every minute. Some are just great scenery of the Appalachian Mountains (Spoken as "Appa latch ins" in these parts) right on the edge of the Blue Ridge portion. Anyway...

The boss decided that he wanted a new tractor before all the new emissions stuff came out. He finally brought it home the other day but I've been too busy to take any pics. Here she is in all her glory with 5.5 Hours on the clock.

Here are a few pictures of a old fence row I was hired to clear out over the summer. I was able to work from both sides of the property line which makes things 100 times easier. I had intentions of taking lots of pics but got too busy actually working. Let me know what you all think. The...

Yesterday a very good friend of mine called to tell me his father had passed due to a farming accident. They had moved to the Midwest a few few years ago and both of them worked for the same farm. All he told me was his father had been crushed by two 3' x 5' square bales falling on him. He...

A friend called today and asked how quick I could get my tractor and a chain to where he was. My tractor was 2 miles from him and I was about 10. He said to hurry every chance I got as his tractor was sinking in mud along a creek. When I got there it was worse than I had imagined. It was...

The man I put up hay for has a M9540 just like mine but a little older. It has about 800 hours on it, hydro shuttle and 12 speed. The hand throttle pushed all the way forward will not go above ~500 PTO RPM's. This is a major PITA as you can imagine. I know this tractor has been split...

I've been putting up hay for a man that owns a M125X with about 2000 hours on the clock. Sometimes there is a yellow flashing light on the dash that shows the lower 3 point arm or "lift arm" with an arrow showing it moving upward. Sometimes there isn't. To see the light in question...

The other day my RTV left me stranded 3/4 of a mile from the house. I walked to get the tractor and boosted it off. The battery checked out fine after a long slow charge so I took the alternator (Denso) off to have it tested. It needed brushes so $30 later I was back in business or so I...

I know there have been a few threads about how little some folks use their cell but I use mine for everything from email, checking the local radar during hay season and calling the GF to order lunch. :licking: I don't have a iphone as of yet, but I am eligible for a upgrade and know good and...

I had a very interesting day today... At about 1:00pm my dog and I left the farm on my tractor to head about 1.5 miles to a friends machine shop to do some heavy lifting with the loader. The dog loves to ride but was acting funny about half way there like he wanted off. I pulled into the...

A friend down the road called yesterday and says his 757, The zero turn Deere not the Boeing jet... is only operating at half it's usual power. And dies when the blades are turned on. (25 hp v-twin Kawi, 1000+ hrs) After a quick inspection we determined it was only firing on one cylinder...

Ok guys I sold my old tractor back in the fall. Since it was sold to a friend of a friend and He and I were both busy doing other things at the time we never wrote a bill of sale. Now he wants one for tax reasons. Can't say I blame him, I just don't know what to include. Anyway this is what...

My dealer called yesterday and asked if he could stop by. He said he had something for me. I was 20 miles away at another guys farm so he told me he'd leave it by the garage. I had no idea what it was. When I got home this is what I found on my work bench! It looks so nice I don't...

Does anyone else here subscribe to this wonderful publication? FARM SHOW - Home My Grandfather loved this magazine. It has so many great ideas in it.

Something terrible happened to me this week. I was driving near a old fence row that I had torn out and I ran over something very sharp with the rear tire. It went flat in less than two minutes and I lost almost all my fluid. The tractor has less than 150 hours on it and I think it is too big...

I'm looking to work on the CA some this winter and am in need of some odds and ends. Carb rebuild kit, battery cover and starter parts come to mind off the top of my head. Any one know where to find such things? I'm not looking to restore it, it is in good shape as a "survivor", just get it...

After almost a month of waiting... It is here!! Time to do WORK!! Well actually the 9540 is in the shop getting the 3rd function installed at the moment. Maybe if I slip the shop guys beer money I can have her back by 5. Drum roll please.... This thing is 84 inches HUGE...

I use my RTV on the farm everyday, I couldn't imagine ever going without one now that I'm spoiled. While making my daily rounds I hop on and off placing it into neutral and setting the brake multiple times, leaving the engine running. It has happened on an occasion or two that in a hurry I...

I've been lurking in shadows here for over a year when I was looking at a RTV 900 (bought it last October, love it) and always had good intentions to post a review once it hit one hundred hours. That never happened, we are closer to 400 hours today. Over the past 12 months I became so...
