Congrats on the new tractor;the one question I would ask if the third function was a "true" third function and not a diverter type.

I have had gamebirds for about 35 years,pheasant,quail and chukars,started a preserve 22 years ago.We are in New York state near the Canadian border.Going to miss all the people and dogs and friends we have made over the years. Never was a money making proposition more of a keep...

I don't know how anyone can NOT have a dog.I understand some circumstances it isn't possible. I have owned dogs or the family has owned dogs all my life.From German Shepards when younger to Labs,English Pointers and currently German Short-hairs. Later in life my parents had Poodles and...

Polaris used(may still) Fuji motors in most of their ATV's. I am for purchasing USA built but difficult for most things. Most are assembled in the States from parts sourced from all over the world;this includes cars and trucks also.

I have loaded R1 and a cab and the 854 loader will lift back tires(with 500-600lbs on the three point). On the HST leak,warm it up and put a piece of carboard under;mine didn;t leak when cold.It looks like a pipe plug with a loose pin in center.

I would go the larger HP in the same machine.The MX's have a three speed hydro unlike the Grand L's 6 speed.Larger tires I think than the Grand's.

I have owned a L4240 HSTC(2009) since new,currently has 1400 hrs.Always maintained per the book. Similar to what you are looking at less the turbo. Cab,4wd drive,FEL? 35-40K open station,2WD,no FEL maybe 22K Check www.tractorhouse.com for prices. Tires will cost 2k or so. Mine had the cursed HST...

You forgot Yamaha.Owned atv/s by s since the early 80's.Honda,Suzuki,Kawasaki and Yamaha.Had my Kawasaki for 23 years and sold it for 1/3 of the new cost. On my second Yamaha side/side and can highly recommend them.Lots of Can-Am side by side in our area,but I find them uncomfortable. Base...

A friend moved to Northern Vermont(Hyde Park) and is(was) a deer hunter;noted how few deer Vermont has;at least compared to Northern NY. A small plot wouldn't last here.In your case I would do the biggest area you can with some type of clover.Clover is expensive but good for 4-5 years. We...

All kinds of weird things happen at night,curious coons,deer noses ,had an owl buzz my camera.

https://calculatorshub.net/mechanical-calculators/hp-loss-at-altitude-calculator/ I was close ,you would lose 14.2 HP

Not familiar with Branson or high elevation but at 65HP if it acts like 50HP you should be all right.

My only rule of thumb;don't buy a used anything from a dealer that is an off brand for the dealer;I.E. a Ford from a Chevy dealer. A back hoe quickly becomes a lawn ornament.

Always was a labor of love; certainly not for profit.Going to miss the people and dogs for sure.

As of April 1,2025 I am shutting down my uplands preserve.Cost have gone way up and the dogs and I are ageing out! Been a good run 22 years,raising birds for 35 years.

I.M.H.O. Sorry but the average owner with one tractor(not a fleet) and the need to service(maybe every 2-3 years) with a fair investment in equipment now needs to save a few bucks on hydraulic fluid,and take a chance that it might work. Never understood this.

Don't know why it would have both a shear pin and a slip clutch.If the clutch is working go with a grade 8 shear bolt. Looks like a lite duty model.

My dealer changed just the filter at 50hrs,after that follow the book. I also add JD hydraulic dye,makes it easier to see.Make sure you tell anyone servicing your unit that you added the dye.

Owned an HST Kubota since 2004 and only time using clutch is for start;always lock down when not in use.Full stop for range changes.

Owning a GL,I don't believe you will have enough flow to run off the third function.I run a snow plow and grapple off mine.

IMHO,a tiller does not well unless you remove the vegetation and plow.I think a heavy box blade with scarifiers would be a better choice.

Deal with them every spring,along with the coons and possum.Already caught two possum. I have birds so have to keep them under control.My NYS permit allows me to protect my birds(pheasant).

My son has a similar L3000DT,about ten years.He uses it for everything,hauling logs,field work,snow removal.It has been a very good machine for him. I prefer HST machines but to each their own.

In my part of NY it was the dairy industry,at one time there were 27 family farms(about 20 square miles) now there is three,same number of acres and probably more cows. Typical herd was maybe 100 head,now maybe 1500 on each of the three remaining. They have bought up all the small farms.They...

As far as I know:the HST on the MX is a three range not six like the Grand L's.Considering a MX but don't know if I want to give up all the features of my Grand L.

Be very careful pushing with that set-up,no relief springs/trips ect.They are made to "pull".Very expensive things can break.

After ten years outdoors;built a 24x32 pole barn three years ago.Unheated but at least out of the weather and plugged in for the winter.Battery tender and block heater when needed.

I have a small utility trailer that I rebuilt 50 years ago with pressure treated,out-side the whole time;is STILL good and still use it.

Bird dogs retrieving birds is what they were born to do;some are just better than others. My current German Short-Hair is a bird finding /retrieving machine.It was three years before he was a good retriever. We see all kind of dogs on our preserve,have owned Labs,English Pointers and...

That should work;did exactly that on a Yamaha sidexside.Went from 25"to 27" on the stock factory rims. I don't think you are going to gain a lot of extra speed,maybe some carry capacity.

Just read;Cummins recommends PowerService for their engines.Been using in my Kubota's for 20 years.Treat all my fuel ,year round(never know when you will have summer fuel left over).

Buy from a local dealer that has been in business(with what-ever brand) for at least ten years. We have three Kubota's in the family with good results.Minor farming use/logging/snow removal ect.About 100 hrs.per year on each. Also buy one size larger than you "think" you need;save trading...

Eufy cams on front and back,wi-fi no additional cost.Doubles as a security system. Goes to your phone in minutes.

I had a stump bucket for a very short time;terrible tool for a trench.Got the chance to sell it and it was gone quickly.

Just south of us on Tug Hill(NY) they are getting pounded again,measuring in feet.Big snow mobile area.We only have a couple inches on the ground(St.Lawrence River Valley).

I am right at 100/yr.with mine ,used year-round with mine.Snow plowing,field work.

I have had a Green's Machine Thumb for at least ten years;very usefull and a lot cheaper than a full grapple.Limited opening but have used for logs,brush ect. Mine bolts on and is removeable if ever needed.

Learned to drive with "three on the tree" everything "automatic now"even my tractor. Looked for a manual truck in 1991 or 92 and it was difficult to find. Don't miss having to shift.

I had a Dakota Alert system for a couple of years;lots of false alarms and deer setting it off.Replaced it with a cell based game camera and a solar panel. There are some cost but have a picture in 2 minutes go directly to my cell phone no matter were I am. Tactacam camera($119) yearly...

Aluminum corrodes when exposed to salt,no free lunch.

My cabbed L4240 was "done" twice,first time it wasn't done correctly(dealer ate that one) never got a bill(asked twice) for the real fix. Note:it won't get better with time. I would guess $2k on an open station;must be split to repair.

We stole ours for $400;had to buy a few parts but it works well.Plant about any seed,we use for corn,sorgum ect.I wouldn't sell for double. Towed behind a pickup(slowly) for about ten miles. Our advantage is our nephews are farm mechanics.

We have that exact grain drill,it's bigger and heavier(top heavy) than you think.Also have the same snowmobile trailer;wouldn't try to haul that drill on that trailer! Beg ,borrow or steal ,rent HD flat-bed.

Wall hung propane heater.Have fan and thermostat.18K more than enough.

I have four TactaCams with solar panels.Have picture in two minutes.Cell plan required but not that expensive IMHO.They work very well and what problems I had were corrected promptly.

Tractor that size;and we have two p low and then roto-till.Purchased our tiller in 2005 and use it every year.Disc for small tractors(depending on soil conditions) are a waste IMHO. One pass with a tiller is equal to three with a disc.

Blue LocTite?:My son has that very tractor and haven't had that problem.

L853 is the loader you need,check for aftermarket loader too.

Move them to the inside of the ROPS.I replaced on our small tractor with Tractor Supply replacements,couple of rectangular U bolts.

Very few ,if any tractors have enough flow for skid steer attachments.Only real way to do it is with a power-pack off the rear PTO.Pretty exspensive.They can "fit" with a SS quick attach but doubt if enough flow is available.

Anyone I know that purchased one regretted it.

A post hole auger; very dangerous.

Have a 10K PTO powered for my L4240 Kubota.Mounted on a trailer,correct disconnect/switch.Works well the few times it has been used.Disadvantage is that the wife would have no idea how to hook up.

Your Western coyotes are smaller than ours but I still say coyote.Ours crossed with wolves at some point,up to fifty pounds.

Just got an email from TactaCam;they just came out with an extended range antenna.May be just what you need.

Problem with that is you have to hook up every time.I have a similar tractor and problem. I have a tooth-bar and Greeen's machine thumb on a HD bucket.I works well for this. Dig out with tooth-bar and grab and go;smooth out hole with bucket.

Newest TactaCam Reveal "may" work.It has a dual Sims card,picks up the strongest signal.Pro 3 X.

Replaced my still working Stihl(20+years) with a battery Echo.Two batteries and it works great.Replaced Stihl chain saw with a battery powered Echo also.

Cab for me,25 years of construction gave me enough fresh air.My son has an open station and wouldn't have a cab.

I use PowerService year round in my tractor,less than 100gal/yr .Diesel truck,I would use in winter only.

NPT(pipe thread)needs sealant(not teflon tape),tapered threads do not(metal to metal).

Near 540 RPM's will give the best cut in most cases;tractor slow enough to do a clean cut. This year in our area with all the rain;I am going slower with higher than normal PTO speeds.

Crew cab pickup(maybe with a cap) will do all and not have carpet in back.Moves all the unpleasant smells and mess to a box outside the driving area.Should be cheaper and easier to find used. Been there done that and always went back to pickups.

Sorry but Tundra's are that great,a buddy had 2004 he purchased new. wheel bearings went out at 25K cam belt must be changed at 90K replaced the steel exhaust manifolds replaced the FRAME and related components ($6K his cost) rear diff cover was steel,welded many times rewired...

I had the dealer install a third function when I purchased the tractor($900 at the time) added a Green's Machine Thumb(now $750),also a tooth-bar.This all works great and the best add-on for my tractor. Use the third function to run a front snow plow also.

Started with an open station Kubota L3130,liked it but moved to a L4240 HSTC in 2009;no regrets at all. Year round use,currently have about 1400 hours on it. A/C works fine in our climate(Norhern NY) have charged the system once(myself) very easy. We do have a smaller open station for...

Had one for many years and still use it occasionally.Have a regular two bottom but this works on our rocky ground a little better. Slow but gets it done.

Use a couple of this type,20,000btu,more than enough.Propane with standing pilot. Tractor Supply and others.

I know two guys that are left handed and always shot right handed guns;found left handed guns awkward.

1K for a true third function is about right;a diverter type may be slightly cheaper. My third function is used for a snow plow and a thumb on my bucket;works very well.

Yes,it would put out what your engine is capable of.A 19.5 hp should put out 10K on a 12K Gen set or close. My 10K PTO powers my whole house/garage/well/furnace ect. He may peak out under high use;not a problem.

I have two Eufy cameras for drive way security,about 200ft. or so ,not sure on their range.I also have three TactaCams,one used for my business drive way(1/2 mile) other for game cameras.They are cell based,subscription,unlimited distance.Cost about $100/yr.per camera,cameras about $150. Both...

You probably don't have enough flow to run with spending a lot of money on a power pack;plus now you would be running over everything you just cut. Takes a high flow SS to run a front cutter.

If you kids/grandkids are left eye dominate,do them a favor and have them shoot left handed.One daughter and three of my grandkids are left eye dominate and we started them all shooting left. Deer rifles are single shots,looking for a left hand bolt for our oldest. Note;I have a long time...

After ten years and two tractors + bush-hogs and renting a 100 HP with and eight ft.bush-hog;I finally rented a SS with a FECON head+operator.He did more and better in four days than I had in ten years. Money well spent.Maintain with tractors now.

When in the market for a tractor;looked at New Holland,John Deere and Kubota(what was available at the time) purchased Kubota. Since that first;purchased a second (new) tractor plus 10K worth of implements from the same dealer. They have been out-standing for warranty and service.I have zero...

Also needs to be dry;wet and you will have a mess.

Have one and have never taken it off since owning the tractor.Only draw-back is back dragging,have a snow-plow for winter use.

As with many here;started with an open station and now have a cab. Lots of good reason for and very few against. In my case my son has a open station available,he hates my cabbed tractor;but at his work he uses multiple cabbed machines.

I have both;2016 Yamaha Viking and a 2020 Yamaha Kodiak.Same engine. Plus for the side/side;can carry 3 people safely,box carries more and easier. Atv is smaller and more maneuverable.

I am in dairy country;there used to be about 27 family farms milking 50-100 cows.Now there are three left milking 1K-2K each.Just no money for the small guy any-more. Even the Amish got out of milking;they only did 25-50 by hand. The big guys spend money like water on land and equipment.

Green's Machine Thumb,had mine for ten years or so.Only weights 80# and is removeable.

John Deere makes an hydraulic die,can buy online for about $15.Last forever.Very good idea to use it,just found a leak in the snow I would never have seen with the clear oil.

Surprise! there are not any. A little advice from a user/owner;at least my observations.Geared towards diesel,up to 75 HP,100 acres ,your average home-owner,small operation. Buying new is expensive but you have a dealer,warranty and their mechanics to fall back on to. Buying used,as least...

The 3350 was a problem child for Kubota,I would stay clear of that one.

I still have a land line number thru my internet provider,we also have cell phones. Number was retained for my business. Fiber optic phone+internet is less expensive than what we had previously.

Northern N.Y.,we get real winters here.I cut and burned wood for myself and my parents,30 cords per year on our property.Wood itself was free ,the rest not! I replaced my wood stove with a Vermont Casting propane unit(38K) ,primary is forced air oil.That was 25 years ago and don't regret at...

I had Direct TV and now streaming when high speed internet became available. Mine is 25mps down load,minimum in my experience. Direct TV was $200+ mo.My internet is $110,subscribe to YouTube TV@$72.00. Close to a wash but have the internet for the computer anyway.Still cheaper. Lots of...

Any local law regarding open burning?Your idea looks o.k.,maybe line with fire brick.

Until you get a high speed internet connection,Dtv is your only choice

As soon as we got an high speed internet we dropped Direct TV(20+years). Amazon Firestick is the way to go,lots of free programs.I subscribe to Youtube TV and will most if not all you want. Way less than Direct TV.

If your tractor is 4wd ,mixing tires generally not a good idea,R4 also use different rims.

Welded for 40 years,never smoked and no breathing problems at all;never wore a mask of any kind. Worst to weld is galvanized material,it will kill you if you are not careful.Up wind and lots of ventilation. About 1/2 the time we were out-doors(pipe-welder).

Love Labradors,between me and my kids had six over 30 years.Still think they are great but current health problems keep me from owning another. Switched to German-shorthairs and had an English Pointer for 15-1/2 years. We own an uplands preserve and see about every bird dog breed out...

Check your air pressure.Change to industrials involves new rims also,pretty expensive.Poor performace in snow and mud also.

Central NY measures snow by the foot.Check out Tug Hill.Average 300in/yr.

Right now is snowing and blowing,not regretting snow plowing in the least. Cabs have their place.I have only broken off a couple of cab lights in ten years. My son has an open station ,gear drive and wouldn't have anything else.Each their own.

Used PS for 20+years,treat all fuel ,year round.Never a problem.Cheap insurance.

I have almost the identical set-up;shoes don't help much until the ground is frozen. Just too much weight.I use a rear blade when things aren't frozen or the ATV. An edge guard(pipe) may help or gauge wheels.

Seeing that you are in snow country;I would advise the L6060 HSTC.Cab is a necessity.Rent a excavator as needed.

How long has your Yanmar dealer been in business?The Yanmar you are considering is 23.9 H.P. and a 2 range Hydro.The 3902 is bigger all around,3 range hydro but has emission controls.I would price out a comparable tractor;H.P./weight wise. Most buy too small the first time. Look at the YT235...

Another thing we do is bush-hog down any standing food plots before working.

I have all of the above;tiller after plowing works the best for me;also levels the ground.we do about 10 acres a year(21 years).We also cultipack after planting.

Recently a Central NY mechanic was fined $250,000 plus 5 year jail term for defeated diesel emissions.

Go to www.kubotausa.com and compare specs,did it quick and the L4802 is listed as a 2024 model,loaders are a little different. L766 vs L767.

All grounds are different,some easier than others.Mine is very rocky and shallow. I own;a single bottom($150 or so),roto-tiller,two sets of 2 bottom plows and a spring tooth cultivator. Tough for me to use the 2 bottoms;very rocky,my single bottom(potatoe plow) is a lot slower but works...

Don't waste your money;tried something similar years ago.Solar motion lights seem to work better;that with a electric fence.Also have a top net.

Our dogs are in the house at night

I have had gamebirds(pheasant) for 30+years,have about 1/2 acre under net. I have two strands of electric fence around the perimeter.This helps control the ground predators,hawks and owls are a real problem. We have fox,raccoons,possum,skucks,feral cats,coyotes ect. All you can do is...

I won't be investing in "pods"any more than a snowmobile;too limited of use for the cost. Neighbors have a set for their 1000cc Polaris but none for me.

Even in upstate N.Y.,our ATV and SxS see a lot more use year-round than snowmobiles. My son has a couple sleds,they see very limited use,I use the others daily.

Sounds like the HST "neutral" safety switch,service/inspect.

I have a full sized tractor and an ATV snow plow;given a choice I would go with the tractor(FEL mounted 8'),ATV is a lot smaller but fits in the tight spots. Tractor also has a 7' rear blade.

Pre 2012 is before emissions requirements

My son and I have two;perfect combo I.M.H.O,an L4240 HSTC and a geared open station L3000DT.

I live in Northern NY ,right on the border;so similar winters/summers. For winter you want cabbed for sure;may want to look at pre 2012 larger tractors and purchase a separate lawn mower . I use an 8ft.front and 7flt.rear on a Kubota L4240 HSTC and a Simplicty mower(there are alot cheaper...

Congrats on the new rig,I have a L4240 HSTC,sure is nice plowing in winter. I had a heavy wire mesh welded to the grill guard,after poking a hole in the front grill,just lucky missed the expensive stuff.Ihave the factory third function for the snow plow and Green's Machine thumb. Located not...

Safety switchs?Seat ,neutral ect.Start by putting in neutral,brake on,FEL down,PTO off.

Vermont means lots of snow for sure.For your first year you may want to try a REAR blade for starters,maybe a medium duty 7'. Look for a used truck plow to mount on your tractor "front" down the road. Cheapest way out.Lots of builds on this site.

I think your prices are pretty close;I don't reload shot-gun but rifle.Only because of availability and my choices for bullet. Can purchase;9mm,40 S&W and .223 cheaper than I can reload.

Bad idea;just run the air.

I have and use both a front plow and rear blade;for your use a good heavy medium duty rear blade should work.Get one with off set.Three point has no down pressure and will ride up when going forward,do NOT push back-wards(if you turn the blade around),no give and something expensive could break.

High range in a HYDRO is only for road travel not work.I have a cabbed 44 HP Kubota hydro that would easily do that work. I pull a two bottom plow,six ft.box blade,rear blade (7') and push an 8ft.snow plow. Grand L's have two speeds between ranges,I.E. medium low-high;this is where I do 90%...

Have owned 400-450 Kawasaki and Yamaha,both had low ranges and CTV transmissions.Absolutely no problems.Will do what ever you need,own 700cc machines now and don't notice much difference in low end power. Yamaha has the best 4WD system and transmission in the business IMHO. Honda has great...

I have a back up camera,about useless with the sun glare(it's not a cheap one either).At night it works o.k. Found the same problem with my outside mirrors,just push them back with the doors. Maybe try an interior car type mirror.

Jump on that for sure;we purchased two similar sized Kubotas(L3000DT+L3300) a few years ago,nice sized tractors for most home-owner types.Price is in line with today's market.

For the average owner,maybe 100 hours per year that means you change oils every 2-1/2 years:what are you really saving?

Battery operated fuel pump,saves lifting those heavy cans.

Plows for roads,buckets/pushers for parking lots.Depends where you are plowing.I have an 8flt.SS mounted FEL plow for my needs.

That's what the mid mount is for,that and maybe a broom.Call your closest dealer to confirm.

After the pressure switch will work;before?what is going to turn the pump on?

Don't forget the over-running clutch for the mowers,8N,9N

GMC Acadia,3rd row and when folded will hold two dog boxes.Chevy Traverse even a little bigger,longer wheel base."Get the V6 before they are gone.

We are on our second GMC Acadia(purchased new) both with the 3.6 V6.Excellent vehicle and decent gas mileage:28 mpg highway.I have owned quite a few over the years including 3 Subaru's(great also).

You should notify your dealer;if something shows later.I had a couple warranty repairs and my dealer was excellent(no cost,not even transportation). I have a cabbed L4240 and only use SUDT,no undo noises.

Owned ATV/UTV since 1980's,all the major Japanese manufacturers.Currently have a Yamaha Viking and a Kodiak,purchased 4 Yamahas new. Would recommend Yamaha or Kawasaki UTV's.

Find a local welding shop to copy yours.

Tried a dozer,fail.It did the job but removed the top soil and then you still have piles of brush to deal with.Hire a Skid Steer and a Mulcher type head.Use your tractor to "maintain".

tooth bar will help considerably.

check:www.tractorhouse.com for similar,implements at maybe 1/2 of new.

Congrats on the new rig,we are just out-side Ogdensburg on Black Lake.We like our Kubotas also.

I learned my lesson on 4wd a long time ago;it doesn't cost that much more and is invaluable when you need it. We run Yamaha's (2 Vikings,Rhino)+ a Grizzley and a Kodiak.Owned all the major Japanese brands and they are good.I personally don't care for Honda's electric shift(cold weather bothers...

I put a Green's Machine's thumb on my L4240 bucket+tooth-bar.Reinforce the top of the bucket,I made mine a bolt on/off if needed. Had the third function already for my snow plow. Next best thing to a full grapple,not quite the opening but a lot cheaper.Best thing I have added to mine.

Remember "wireless" means they transmit wirelessly;you still have to power the screen and camera. Purchased a decent one;find it about useless,washes out in the sun(cab tractor).

I know my local Kubota dealer told me that he has to order the whole years worth of inventory,so his lot is full in the spring.

https://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Transfer-Auto-Stop-Advanced-Portable/dp/B08XQYZCKD/ref=sr_1_26?crid=38DP5I3872CP9&keywords=battery+fuel+transfer+pump&qid=1681221307&sprefix=battery+fuel+%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-26&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc

Back-ups are good for sure;first thing I would add would be a generator. My son has an out-side wood boiler and inside fuel oil boiler.I would lean towards propane if installing new. I have a Vermont Castings propane stove for additional heat and back-up(no power required)and a PTO generator...

At least in our area;dairy country;I would look for a 70-100 hp used machine with FEL.Why: that size;too big for most home-owners and too small for most farmers. Buy a "name brand" with a fairly local dealer.

Just make sure your slip clutch is working and till away.Plow with a middle buster first. My farm is 150 years old,I used to pick rocks,watse of time.I have miles of rock fences that previous owners picked(with horses). We till ten acres of food plots a year.

Big fan of Yamaha,owned a Grizzley,Rhino,currently a Kodiak and Viking.My son has a Grizzley with 5K hard miles on it. About trouble free on all,my son's had his CV joints go recently on his Grizzley(he used to use it like a tractor).I put about 1K per year on my machines.

They are called Grey Market tractors;may not meet pollution standards for U.S. if over 26 HP. Parts also May be a problem.

I owned three Subaru's with good luck;in the family now are a 2019,2022 and a 2023(daughter and granddaughters).Wife liked the new Acadia's better or we would still own one.

I believe GM still makes regular cab with an eight ft.box,aka work truck.

After 20 years with a gas STILH(still works) I purchased an Echo battery unit and haven't used the Stilh since.About an hours use and I am done;have two batteries if needed.

You don't want any smaller than a 6',I have one that is used with a L4240. Hard part is the PTO ,not the three point.Service the slip clutch every spring.

I have battery Echo chainsaw and trimmer,both work very well.The chainsaw about an hour on one battery,havn't found anything it wouldn't cut.It is fairly heavy.

Owned maybe 20+ GM trucks over the years ,used to trade every two years before I retired. The best is always the current,2017 Silverado with 19k miles,4wd drive extended cab.Only owned one Ford pick-up (1971).

Any diesel utv is going to be heavy,slow and not very off road worthy IMHO.And expensive. Try a gas model,cheaper,faster lots better off road. I have owned all the Japanese manufacturers,currently own a Yamaha Viking and Kodiak(same 700cc gas motor),we have had very good luck with a total of...

https://www.utvenginerebuilds.com/product/yamaha-rhino-660-engine/

Any of the Japanese bikes,we have three Yamahas.Purchased 4 Yamaha's new,have owned Kawasaki,Honda,Suzuki.My Kawasaki was 22 years old when I sold it for 1/3 of the "new" price. Honda's with the electric shift have a parasitic draw(runs the battery down) and they don't like our cold...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/255308239347?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338590836&toolid=10044&customid=fb1ae7ec8e1d136f4b2d83e42a04a4b3 We have three Yamaha single cylinders,hard to believe it would cost $7K to rebuild one.

Remember anything over 25 HP is going to have the pollution controls. Lots of choices within these two in,frame size,loader capacity,number of cylinders,weight. Availability is another concern.

Calling for 7-10 inches of snow TODAY,come on spring.

Others have tried and failed;use the Kubota stuff.

A little learning curve with the box blade but the right tool for the job;must be dry.

As the owner of a Grand L,buy that L5240 before some one else does,it will go fast.Had mine for 12 years(L4240HSTC) and a friend has the same (L4740 HSTC). The loader is powerfull,and the tractor nimble.Can't beat a cab for snow removal.

Those models are sub-compact and very limited.I would advise a true compact;I.E. Kubota L,LX or B series or similar.Do not buy with-out a loader. Under 25HP don't have the pollution controls(new),older higher HP before 2014 shouldn't have it either.

I worked as a pipe welder/fitter for 42 years.Used all types of machines and materials.Nothing wrong with gaining a little knowledge. I would start you with a stick welder:AC/DC 220 volt machine and lots of scrap mild steel.Keep your rods "dry",a simple bulb in a box will do. I also taught...

668494 My people mover,bird placer,manure spreader and all around machine. I have a uplands hunting preserve.

I have a Fimco 15gallon ATV sprayer,about 12 years.Replaced the boomless part of it with a six ft.boom,the pump once.Works well for a couple day a year tool. Make sure to rinse after use,and wear personal protection.

I have had a Bush Hog branded tiller for 19 years and three tractors and it has held up well in our rocky soil.Broke the drive chain a couple years ago(repair link ,simple fix).Lots of acres done. I service the slip clutch every year. I think it's 63".

Or find an HST tractor that your back-hoe fits.Sell yours less back-hoe.Make take a different sub-frame but cheaper than a conversion.

In northern NY;I found if you surround with concrete;the frost will jack the post up.We just built two pole barns with6x6's in the ground. concrete pad on the bottom,4' plastic sleeve(Home Depot) around the post 1ft.above ground level,back fill with dirt.Looks good so far.

I store 15-20 gallons of treated diesel in an unheated shed;never had a problem in our frigid climate.-25F degrees the other day.I try to keep the tractor full at all times,battery tender always and block heater before use.

An 8N will need an :over-running: clutch to run a bush hog safely.

Havning grown up with 8N and 9N's,upgrade for sure.The newer 25HP 4WD ,loader ,power steering ect.World of difference and much safer. You shoud be able to sell the old machine fairly easy,around $2500 if in decent condition.

I have a 8' FEL mounted and it works well,that with a 7' rear blade,this on a L4240 HSTC.In your case a rear blade alone may suffice. Mine is an old Curtis truck plow that I added to SS plate,already had the third function so have power angle.Cheapest way out and chain float.

Worked at height most of working life;I would hire that job done. Weigh the cost of the repair to a "possible"hopital bill. In my younger days I free climbed as high as 140 ft.with NO safety equipment,them days are long gone.

Any disc a 30 HP tractor could pull would be about useless unless its sand.Disc are a secondary tool.A small single or two bottom plow first. Brush hog as short as possible or burn first.

I had that same surgery in 2020,L3,4,5;metal rods+bone graft.Not easy but necessary.Couldn't hardly walk before surgery,got put off by a couple months because of Covid.Now at least I am good for about an hour's walk or work.I think more damage was done because it was delayed. My surgeon had...

I highly doubt it;same with tires+hydraulic hoses ect.But to their specification.Same as the auto business.

I would go to a propane unit that doesn't require electricity to provide heat;it will be your back-up.Pellet stoves require some-one to clean and feed them(40 lb.bags) and store the pellets.

We recently built two,24x30 and 30x40'.This is up North near the Canadian border so we have to deal with frost.We dug 4' holes with a post hole digger(14") poured a 2" pad on bottom,used a plastic sleave around post(Home Depot) and back-filled with dirt(not concrete).Buildings have not moved and...

On mine I have have to set the can on a 2' step ladder (the hose doesn't reach),yes 2.2 gal per minute and auto shut off.Still a lot better than lifting a 5gal.can.Enough lift to fill no problem.

Battery powered pump,best thing ever.Use it for tractor,mower,atv.

Had both done in 2020,no problem.My surgeon does 10 a day when operating.I still need glasses for a stigmatism.;so I went for the single focus.

Great caliber,7MM/08:family has three of them.Model 7 Remington,Savage and a Winchester. Since this will be a "life-time" gun,adjustable stock for sure ,I really like the Tika;their actions are like butter.

I plowed for years with an ATV,and still have one(2020 Yamaha),it's my back-up and light snow removal tool.Tractor with a front and rear blades do the heavy work. ATV is way better than a shovel.

I don't know about hours but I put 1k miles a year on each of my two machines.Easy miles no mud bogging.Traded a Rhino with 4k miles and it was perfect;only traded to upgrade. MY BIL has a 1998 Honda Foreman with 13K rough miles(five teenagers when he bought it).

My dealer(Kubota) about 70 miles round trip has never charged me for warranty work period,pick up included.At least three times over the years. The do charge for service calls,but reasonable;I think it was $75.00,

I have one on my plow;never adjusted it and it worked fine from the factory.Note:doesn't help if the plow is fully angled and you hit something with the full angled side.I.E.,if fully angled right and you hit something with the right(short) side it won't help.Ask me how I know!

It may vary by state:I have an "Inland Marine"policy on my tractor and related equipment;covers fire/theft on "my"property. Cost is $157 per year and not covered by home owners.

That looks a little "hairy",no room for mistakes.

I have had birds(pheasant,quail,chukars) for 40 years,my father before that;we never added heat in winter,they just don't need it. chickens will stop laying. Ever hear of a "down"jacket?

I have owned all(not Polaris) the major brands;last four have been Yamahas;currently have a Kodiak and a Viking.Previous Rhino and :Grizzley.All were very good machines;I put on maybe 2-3K per year both for pleasure and business.

After having beef for 20+years;my advise Sell them all.Too many head-achs.You have to feed them,keep them fenced in(you are liable),keep them healthy.I would never have a bull again,way too dangerous. Ours went down the road many years ago.Beef is cheap at the store compared to raising a...

I have used it for many years,buy from a JD dealer or order on line.Make sure to advise your dealer/mechanic that you used it.They thought I had put in automatic trans oil!
