I may be somewhat ****, in that I change my oil/filter once a year, regardless, and in 22+ years, I have never seen any hint of moisture/water when draining the oil. I also am a believer of getting the engine up to temp, as soon as possible, and always letting it cool down(idle) a few minutes...

Once again, a little late to the party, but what a good thread. As LouNY said in post #7309, I think nothing of using my PTO generator. My tractor is used frequently, thus it gets plenty of preventative and required maintenance, and starts up each and every time needed. The PTO genset is used...

My B7300, now has 1070 hrs, and I have put just 966 on it since I purchased it used in 2002 with 104hrs. So, average 43hr/yr. I put the most hrs on it the first year (92hr), as with any new toy, it was used for just about anything and everything, but that was also the year that I did a lot of...

You are 100% correct when you say "Kubota really didn’t seem to make this easy for us." It is my estimation, that unless the loader specifically says 'fits X & Y" chances are it will not. Unlike aftermarket items, which are manufactured with multiple parts/pieces, holes, etc, Kubota add-on...

Years ago, I too would help pull some vehicles out of snow/ditch/etc. However, with today's unibody/plastic construction, even if there is a legitimate tow point, many times the legitimate tow point is buried and totally inaccessible. I truly love when the engineers decide to put the tow point...

My son has a GreenWorks 1600 that we use around the house. It works okay for cleaning off tractor, mid-mount mower, cleaning PT deck, cars, etc. It may be lower power and slow, but it does a good job. It is fairly quiet for its size. At the sugar house we have a Subaru that we got at Costco in...

Love seeing the little guys tackling big jobs! May not be perfect or pretty, but rewarding just the same! Yahooo

I too have had the radiator blocked by all sorts of crud kicked up by my bush hog. One of my pet peeves with my B7300 is there is no temp gauge, (another is no dash lights). While the radiator vent 'heat whistle' it is very hard to hear over the noise of the tractor and whatever implement I am...

I replaced my OEM battery in 2009 with an Interstate, not because it needed it, I was just leery of a battery that old. :cautious: However, in Dec 2022, I had a cold weather start issue, and looking back at my battery, decided that it was time to replace that, which I did with a NAPA battery...

Considering equipment prices today, installing a fire suppression system seems like a no brainer. Preinstalled at the factory would make even more sense. I did a quick search on "in vehicle fire suppression system" and found more than a dozen solution sites, from Ansul and Kidde to many others I...

I was thinking the exact same thing....much like some aircraft....extinguishers that focus on the engine bay

". I live in southern New Hampshire, not by the beach." How close to the 'beach' would be the question. A few years back, I read an article regarding ocean salt air & corrosion. It might apply here??

Catchthedig: Try this link to locate service: Dealer and Service Locator | WINCO I had to load link twice, but after adding my zip and expanding radius to over 100 miles, I got lots of possible dealers/service options.

I am not sure about your area, but here, whenever there is a State/DOT road check, one of the first things that they do is check diesel fuel and/or filter. You cannot hide the dye. The State/DOT frown on those who do not pay the road taxes that fuel generates. As for being able to get off road...

JethroB: My son's system is STARLINK, and he has had it for over 1 year, and heavy rain, snow, flocks of geese, and probably other things will disrupt it. Rain and snow are the worst. While it is supposed to have a 'heater' to let snow slide off, it is not very reliable, and he has been hours...

Once again, very late to the party. I too still have a land line. Reason? DSL. Living in rural Vermont, the only way to get decent, dependable Internet. We have heard for over 20 years that cable is the way to go. It was not until last year that any hint of cable would be coming to our area...

I missed that question. I have had my B7300 for 22+ years, and other than replacing (hydraulic shop) two front FEL hoses and two batteries, the only other parts have been oil, hydraulic, air, and fuel filters. This Kubota has run literally error free all that time. I am still running the...

FWIW: I have had my B7300 since 2002, and I bought it with a 54" Pronovost Puma rear mount blower. While we have not had much snow the past few winters, back in 2006, when we had nearly 24" on Valentines day, my B7300 was the sort of hero in the 'neighborhood'. I was busy all morning, clearing...

I do not know what the weather is/was like in Michigan, but if it is/was anything like here in Vermont this year, you can have 6" snow one day and the next day see grass. It is mid February here, and we are lucky to have 1/2" snow on the ground! It was near 60F last week and yesterday it was...

I did not read it in the post, but found this link. If I read the model number correctly as a JS300Lc, Says 113.6gallons needed.

Addison County. And, as with any NWS forecast, there is only a 50-50 chance of it happening. Forecast of 8-12" petered out at 3.5". There was absolutely none of the forecast high winds or gusting winds. Not that I am complaining, but really? In my next life I am coming back as a NWS forecaster...

While I visit both sites, TBN is my go to for 99%. Not everyone owns a K, and sometimes others may have experienced the same issue you are dealing with. Better cross section of views/options.

I have a NOCO GB40 and used it for about 3 years, and decided that I wanted the 12VDC feature, so I upgraded to the NOCO GB70. Both work great. I started a Chrysler TC van with a totally dead battery in one try with the GB40 at 25F with no problems. The GB70 has been really handy as I can use...

Hi Guys. Here in Vermont, what was previously forecast as a mostly rain event with the chance for mild flooding due to rain/melting snow, this morning was reclassified as a Winter Storm Warning, with much less rain and forecast 8-12" heavy wet snow or more, with 25-35 mph winds and gusts 45...

Personally, I would contact Kubota directly and get them to confirm date of manufacture, and then contact dealer While others have indicated, tractors, unlike car/truck sales, do not normally have a price depreciation each year, OEM's may discount price or have other incentives to move...

True. Many home owners, small businesses/farms have only one as that fills their needs and will probably for quite some time. As those needs increase, they may upgrade. Others, such as larger businesses/farms have multiple tractors for multiple needs. Just around me, within 30-50 miles, there...

Thanks. I suspected for cooling, but it just did not click what was being cooled. Again. Great thread.

Great read. I have always wondered why TURBO's have not been more readily used/installed on many small engines, or at the very least, as an option. I use my B7300 to also power a PTO generator, but cannot get full power from the 10KW unit. If I could add a turbo to it and double the PTO HP, I...

Regardless, considering your road alone, start with aggressive chains front and rear.

Great looking rig! I can almost smell the new paint and rubber!

Here is a screen shot from my 2015 van READ ONLY PDF file with a search of OIL VISCOSITY The search results and the resulting 'index' is on the left, I clicked on the 3rd link and it took me to page 709 and shows the highlighted search words on the right I should add, that the page numbers, seen...

I should point out, that while scanned PDF files are okay, a true READ ONLY PDF is much better, as it allows you do do full word searches and gives a decent index of where each search find is found, by page nbr. And all those search finds are linked directly to the find page. Click to link to...

While I am not sure exactly when Ruger started to mark firearms that way, I do know for a fact that it was prior to 1982 , so that means over 40 years ago. I do know that Armalite, Bushmaster, Colt, Marlin, Remington, Springfield Armory, Thompson Center, Winchester, and others allow you to...

I do not remember if it was on this forum, or another, but I have said in the past, when it comes to owners manuals, OEM's should take a page out of companies like Ruger and others, who will provide an owners manual to anyone who purchases a firearm, regardless of condition, just for the...

For storing/protecting valuable documents, a 'good fire resistant' file cabinet will work equally as well, AND has the added benefit of not looking like something that should be burgled or stolen.

I just looked at my B7300, to try and get an idea of what you are talking about. I see what I think you call the forked piece. That is what the switch is firmly and solidly connected to. On mine, the 'slotted' piece of the part, slips into the fork, and the 90-degree bend rod slips into the hole...

Probably a good idea, regardless. Who knows when the next hurricane will hit and where. You would be scrambling to find and buy one. You can also help others, if and when the need arises.

"Fire Safes" may occasionally work for wood/paper, BUT...anything metal, inside, is at the mercy of both heat and acidic smoke, especially if doused with water. Steam and smoke have devastating effects on steel items. I have seen photos of complete collections destroyed in a house fire that is...

A couple working B7300's have listed recently at dealers for $8000-9000 with maybe 1-2 implements. Also recently saw a nice clean B7300 listed for sale at a dealer (Iowa) for $5000 (tractor only, no implements), very low hours (185) and turf tires. IMHO, a higher hour tractor with unknown...

One of my neighbors tried the 'home heating oil' fuel option, siphoning from his heating fuel tank. He had constant problems with microbial issues. I have always used off road diesel fuel directly from a dealer pump and have never ever had a fuel quality problem. Anyone else see a common issue here?

Thanks much I will try and find a paint and will advise what luck I have

I was thinking of repairing a few paint issues on my tractor. I went on line and did a search on Kubota Orange and found that Krylon lists two available, "Old Kubota Orange" and also "New Kubota Orange". I have read where people have bought the paint and it did not match what they were...

FWIW: I do not know if this will help anyone or not, but here goes. I have had a Winco PTO genset since 2003. When I purchased it, I remembered there being a discrepancy between what I ordered and what I was shipped. At the time I was told by the sales rep that they did not have the smaller...

While my Kubota manual does not specifically mention idle, it does mention warm up, after start. In very cold weather, I do let it idle for a few minutes before I bump the throttle up a bit, to let the fluids begin to warm and flow, before applying loads. While nothing is said about cool...

For me the expensive item was my upgrade to the B7300 with FEL and all the fixings. The lesser expensive item was my air compressor and associated tools. All purchased about 20 years late, but soooo soooo glad that I now have them. Today I give myself a gentle pat on the back each time I use...

I wholeheartedly agree, as these were not the $27 units from Amazon, but the $89 ($$$) from 5ElevenDesignz. I might look at removing the rubber/plastic covers from the magnets, (designed to protect paint) as these might really be limiting the magnet attachments. Items form TSC and Amazon do not...

Had some drier weather and got a chance to mow lawn (1+ acre) on Sunday afternoon. While I did not need mirrors, I left them on to get a feel for how they might work. I mow the perimeter first and that is along two sides with both evergreens and brush. I can honestly state, the magnets are not...

That was my first thought when I started to read this. The most logical solution 99% of the time. I am glad that was answered in a later post.

See no 'video link' !

I received my mirrors today, but also got an email from my nephew, who owns two Kubota L3130's, and basically has the same 'mirror' setup issue that I have. Where to mount them? I had mentioned to him that I had ordered mirrors. He said that he had looked at (exactly) similar mirrors at TSC but...

I also was looking for mirrors, after 20+ years, as we begin to age, some movements are hampered. Do not know why I have not considered sooner, as when using a truck, mirrors are about the only thing to use. Even before reading this post, I had o rdered a set of these 5elevendesignz mirrors...

I recently purchased one of these SureCans, and after a few uses, I kind of like it. It is definitely better than my old cans and appears better than some of the other makes/models available that some have shown. I need to make a 'platform' for it to sit on, to keep the fuel can a bit higher...

A truly bizarre event. Happening on one side? Maybe? Both sides? Not a chance! Bad material, workmanship, and design!

Good point. A few years back, I noticed that with my little B7300, when letting the grand kids use it to learn to drive it. I would set it up to run low RPM's while they maneuvered around obstacles and did forward and backward turns, and so on. Afterwards the hour meter had not shown anywhere...

With 20 acres and lots of downed trees: Are you planning to move and save the trees or burn them? If the option is to move them, a tractor with a Farmi winch makes more sense. While you can lift heavy logs, on flat or nearly level land, it makes more sense to drag them, and you can drag much...

I drove by 2 JD and 1 Kubota dealer last Wednesday, here in VT, and their lots as well were chuck full. I wonder who will be buying all those units? While some may buy new or to replace an older unit, as has been previously discussed, most new units are really pricey. Who is going to upgrade...

I was thinking the same thing. Years ago, I had one similar to these to move my camper, on flat ground.

WOW! I too had recently toyed with the idea of an upgrade after 20+ years with my B7300. Mostly I had considered the addition of options I currently did not have, such as power steering, quick attach on the loader, and a bit more HP for both over all and PTO power. But to have to pay nearly...

Just another good reason to take care of the old one that I have and not have to or want to replace it!

When I saw the most recent powerball numbers, it got me to thinking: First, before telling the wife about the PB ticket, ask her if she had one wish, what would it be and then fill her dream. Once that is completed, how about one each, with one each, Inside a mega-barn on that property that is...

Another reason, after just having helped a neighbor with a chore. He just sold his 18ft boat, and the buyer was coming to pick it up. However, the boat was out back of his house, and was fairly well wintered in (tires and the jack stand settled into the ground with frost and snow. I attached my...

A lot of good discussion here. IMHO, probably everybody needs a tractor, but only the serious really want one! I live on 3+ acres, (1+open, 2- Wooded mixed hardwoods). The soil is heavy clay, with some loam. I have mowed the 1+ acre with a push mower ( 6+hrs) a small Craftsman riding mower...

When at deer camp, the kids go out and collect all the pine or spruce cones that they can, and stuff them into boxes/bags and we store those next to the wood pile. Come fire lighting time, grab a couple cones, lay the fire and it takes off in a heart beat. Birch bark works as well, but pulling...

Good catch. I copied your table and have stored it for future reference. Mine were not labeled or color coded when I got it, but before removing anything, I numbered each port (1,2,3,4) and then cinched zip ties on the hoses...1 on 1, 2 on 2, and so on. From there I have been able to follow the...

There are only a few locally owned and operated radio stations in Vermont. One of the finest, is WDEV, and their Saturday morning classic, "Music To Go To The Dump By!" hosted by none other than Ken Squier Ken Squier - Wikipedia Ken Squier-IMDB Ken Squier - NASCAR Hall of Fame

Living in rural Vermont is interesting at times. We are a small state, but we have some 1700 miles of roads that are classified as Class 4 or trails. Some Class 4 roads are marked with signage clearly stating that they are not maintained during winter months. Others are marked as being dead ends...

That very well may work if you buy your new/used tractor from a dealer, but what about the guy who purchases a used tractor from some Craigslist "John Doe" who happens to be selling but cannot find the manual?

A bit late to the dance, but this thread brings up an issue that I have long had a gripe about. The availability of free owner/user manuals. If you open any user manual today, the first 15-30 pages are all warnings and cautions. All tractor, truck, car manufacturers should take a page from...

Living in Vermont, like many other places, summer humidity and extreme variations in temperatures are a problem, and no matter what effort is made to keep the fuel tank full, some moisture enters and condenses and eventually will end up in the fuel filter bowl. I have found it a simple task to...

Good thread. Much has already been discussed and thought out. Where you live and your power consumption will probably determine both the size and fuel that you choose. Living in rural Vermont, natural gas is not an option, and propane, while available, is not something that I could bury at my...

My OEM and the Interstate battery, while not dead, both were showing signs of age. I have never trickle charged either, but my tractor is always stored indoors, but not heated. I had considered another 'Kubota' battery, but the price from the dealer was way out of line. I paid $90 for the...

I went to start my tractor and the battery was a bit sluggish. It was only 32F (0c) outside, but still, sluggish. I looked at my records, and I had installed a new Interstate 51R in 2009, replacing the OEM (Kubota) battery from 1999. While it still worked, I did not want to be caught...

Good catch pointing out that inflation is multiplicative! Tell the powers that be that us "poor" folk on SSA are tired of getting yearly COLA's which barely pay for the price of a cola, after they say, "Oh! They don't need an increase. They got x.x% last year!" COLA's come no where near...

I just took a look on tractorhouse.com and searched for my tractor model. There were 5 listed, 4 with price, one as for parts only with call for price. Of the 4 with prices, the average price was $8360, including varying one piece of equipment, but 1 included two pieces. This is for a 22+...

After rewatching the video, and the OSHA issues aside, the guy who is cutting the pleated filter paper is just guessing lengths !!!! At least an automated cutter would/should give proper paper lengths. I do know that I purchased some 'brake parts' from Amazon which were supposedly 'replacement...

While I did not switch due to ''reviews", I did switch due to price and availability. I have found WIX filters have met my needs now for many years, and now I feel somewhat vindicated, after watching 3 videos where side by side comparisons were done. As for "are they made that way"? I am sure...

A new one showed up this AM. Not sure if it is or was legit, but it was a no-go hang up for me: Me: Hello Recording: This is an important message from your organization: Please press any number to receive your message." Me: CLICK! As others have posted, NEVER use the words "YES" or "OKAY" or...

I agree 100%. I am constantly hearing people tell of 'weather this' and 'weather that', and I keep telling them, as a former student pilot, I learned to use the same one that all commercial pilots use....NOAA/NWS...provided and funded by our taxes! And I always wonder where the 'others' get...

I constantly get calls as well. I love the one from "The Department of Visa-Mastercard" Yeah. Right! Also the calls from the Pakistani/Indian fellow, representing "Medicare", who can never pronounce my name. Medicare has only ever contacted me by USPS, and sometimes via email, only directing me...

If anyone is wondering if there is really a danger from 'backfeeding' into the grid, here is a great video, that I found several years ago, done by Dominion Energy. They have a portable unit, which they use traveling throughout their territory, to educate public safety departments (police, fire...

I hope that the OP's question has been answered. However, for my two cents.... When I had my home wired for my 10KW PTO generator, I had a licensed electrician do the work, When I queried him about those 'mechanical' interlocks, his reply, "They only work if and when the panel cover is...

LD1 brings up many good points in his reply. All should be answered. Remember. There are certain laws of physics that must be obeyed or you risk serious damage, injury, or death! When a loader is added to any tractor, you have already added front weight to a 'previously neutral system'. You...

I do not have the model number, as it is stored at our maple sugar operation, and I doubt that it is made any more, as I cannot find a current listing, but years ago, I purchased a Subaru branded power washer from Costco. It was just over $300 with tax. It is over 3000psi, has...

Nice truck! Memory flash back! When my dad first began to sell cars/trucks, 1950, he worked for a Dodge dealership (Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler, DeSoto) that sold Dodge trucks as well. I remember him occasionally bringing home a Power Wagon that he was going to deliver. When I was 5, I had a...

When I bought my tractor used, it came with a full tank, though that was only 3.5 gal (tiny tractor). But it was appreciated, as it was my first diesel engine, and I was not set up at the time for diesel fuel. The next trip to the dealer, they offered me 1/2 off a diesel can, which was much...

A lot of this discussion smacks of the recent discussion that was in this thread. In response to that thread, I had reported on my 20 years of ownership: Maintenance, add-ons, and fuel amounts to about $237.50 per year. Or looking at it another way, dividing the nearly 900 hours by 20 years, it...

From the Solectrac web page for this item: see bold underlined items regarding battery life and charging....not a cold climate tool. Horsepower 25 HP (18kW) Category 20 PTO HP (15kW) Category Front Loader Lifting Capacity At Pivot Pin: 1300 lbs At...

Me, I would be more concerned if, after 20 years, there were no hours on the tractor at all! While buying a $20K tractor and keeping it for 20 years only works out to about $2.74/day, every time you get on your tractor and it does a job for you that saves you either time or money, that in my...

For my 2 cents: For me, having a dealer close by is top of the list. Like fire insurance, you hope that you never need it, but when you do, you want help close by. When I was looking for a used tractor, the closest dealers were Kubota, JD, and NH. As for parts, many parts today are as close...

I worked in IT for over 25 years, as a UNIX system administrator, who was forced by mangagement to make WIndoze computers work with UNIX. While it could be done, 75% of my time was doing updates to keep Windoze running. When management opened the door too far, I left. From that time on, I...

I took a look at mine and could not figure out what your issue might be. Can you remove the seat and seat cross bracing to get a better look at the control connections?

Once you figure out that you not only want a tractor but need one, unless you are using it for a business, all that goes out the door. Like many have said: "You cannot put a price on the work that you have done with your tractor or the enjoyment that you got from doing those jobs yourself."...

When I tried to open that page, it took forever, but the images did finally load...here is one photo from that thread

I have pretty much read this thread with interest. Lots of pros & cons. One thing that I did not see mentioned about forks was the moment arm factor. When you use normal forks, the chance of the load being extended further out on the forks, creates a moment arm that could really be dangerous...

I would cut a tree, and make my own utility pole. I have a couple acres of trees on my lot, and I know several of them are straight to 20 ft or more and could be cut, set in a hole with concrete and would last as long as those lights might.

Yes, Mother Nature does trump MIL. But I also say, COMMON SENSE beats all other excuses. When temps are above 90F, regardless of age, common sense dictates keeping outdoor activities to a very low to low level.

What I would really like to see, and wonder if others would as well. Web stores have all sorts of 'sort' options, such as price, color, size, etc. I would like to see an option selection on all web store fronts "CERTIFIED MADE IN THE USA ITEM". I would gladly pay extra for that peace of mind...

It is happening everywhere and all the time. My son recently ordered a $60 electronics item from a 'new' internet seller on Amazon. As he was not confident, he used a 'gift' card to do the purchase...one to make sure that if scammed, they could only withdraw the max amount on the card, and two...

I have a good friend who lives near Zurich, Switzerland, and he recently (2019) bought a newer car there. A 4DR Hatch SUV, with 4cyl turbo diesel engine with 6spd automatic, which he says gets great mileage (last week he said averages 43mpg) in the mountainous terrain which he frequently drives...

Last summer, I was driving up a 'local hill' and was behind a very slow vehicle, with nowhere to pass. (Read: Toyota Prius drawing a trailer). All I could think, my God, I am so glad that I am not behind a Hybrid or EV truck hauling a full size camper through the Rockies! EV's might just kill...

I cannot agree more. In fact, IMHO, many hardware and auto supply chains today are only geared to/focused on the wealthy. Two cases in point. One: In our 'capital' city, there were two hardware stores, literally side by side on a main street. I used to sit on a bench across the road, eating...

My son purchased an EGO saw, as he already had an EGO mower, hedge trimmer, and blower. I got to try it out last fall, and I was impressed with it, after I sharpened the chain. It had a really good bite and cut, and the battery went for quite some time, and when I put it back on the charger, it...

While a bit off topic, my father sold, and our family drove SAAB's since 1959. I finally took my eleventh and last SAAB, all manual transmissions, off the road last year only due to rust. Originally 3 on the column, they added the SAX-O-Matic which allowed a clutchless shift. Later the 4 on...

Begs to ask the question: How big a tank did the 'old truck driver' have? 1:100 or 1:20 mix? Just not worth it. I think I will stick to diesel period.

IMHO: Dumping up to 20 gallons of 'suspect' fuel seems the much cheaper alternative compared to "what might happen".

My nephew sent me an email this AM telling me that his VW dealer contacted him about 'selling' his 2015 VW GTI-S, 3 years after he purchased it and with 35k more miles, and is offering $2500 more than what he paid for it in trade!

I get my off road diesel fuel from my local fuel dealer who sells/delivers diesel, off road diesel, gasoline, home heating fuel, kerosene, propane to homes/farms/businesses throughout the county. I figure his fuel is probably as fresh as anyone's. I have never had a 'fuel' problem, other than me...

I also use the white bottle, just 'forgot' this year. Dumb me. It has just been so mild, it just has slipped my mind. Yesterday, it was 28F, and after I did a jump start, I added a cap full to the winter fuel mix, and with a topped off tank, I blew snow. Today I installed a new battery. I have...

So, after nearly 20 years of ownership, I finally had a cold weather start problem on Sunday. It was -18F and I just could not get it to start. Let's see: after several years of mild winters, I forgot to fill up with winter mix fuel, forgot to change/clean fuel filter, and my battery was 11...

When I bought my tractor used, back in 2002, it came with rear chains. But after trying it one winter, I purchased chains for the front wheels. What a difference that made. 4x4 is the way to go.

I have had my little B7300 now for 22 years, and I have never had a fuel problem. I purchase off road diesel 15 gallons at a time from a local fuel dealer who delivers gas/diesel/kerosene/heating fuel to homes/farms/contractors/businesses. However, a neighbor had a small JD CUT that he...

That was my first thought when I saw that photo

This old thread got me to thinking of my grandfather's farm, in Lower Waterford, VT. No longer in the family, but now owned by a very nice lady who allows us to visit frequently, and to have 'family reunions' in her back yard. Pictured is the 'barn' which is a huge meandering unit, parts had...

Has this issue been resolved? Note to OP/barngal: there is no seat safety switch on a B7300....only switches are on the PTO, the HI/LO (turtle/rabbit) selector, and the clutch....PTO & HI/LO must be in Neutral position and clutch depressed to start. Anything else might be chewed/corroded wires...

Hi A lot has already been said, and covered, but here is my 2 cents. I purchased a used, but nearly new, Kubota B7300 nearly 20 years ago. Why? First, I live in an agricultural area, and farms and tractors abound everywhere. I see everything from ancient IH/JD/Ford/Case/Oliver/DavidBrown, etc...

I love it when people state 'there should be a law' and 'laws should be enforced'. FOLKS: There are two sets of natural laws that exist with regard to loads, and most always they are enforced by nature....GRAVITY and PHYSICS. Many incidents usually result from someone failing to remember one or...

Quite honestly, there was a time when Amazon PRIME actually meant 2 day delivery! Then back in 2019, I believe, they actually were offering 1 day PRIME deliveries. Then COVID happened and reality set in. Amazon and others found that everyone was home and buying on-line. The shippers were having...

This item is very similar to an aircraft attitude indicator (bank angle and climb-decent angle). Both are needed and both can save your life. However, that being said, tractors are not airborne, and if you need something like this on a tractor, maybe you should not be doing what your are doing...

One of my neighbors is a diesel mechanic, and his shop is heated by waste oil, either motor or hydraulic. His only rule is, he decides what is what that he will dump into his tank. Generally, if you only dump used waste oil, there is not problem. He just does not like oil that has crud (leaves...

There are many 'small' and 'family' owned businesses that are being swallowed up into very large conglomerates. Locally I have seen that as well. My local Kubota dealer now has several locations throughout the state. That being said, I bought my Kubota used in my state, though it was originally...

While not critical right now, my front tires are weather checked. They are Firestone 21x8.00-10 tires and no longer available from Firestone (discontinued). Looking at any in that size, I do not see anything available. Does anyone know of or if there is a replacement tire? Appreciate any...

Hi All I have had my B7300 now for 17+ years, and really have not thought much about seat adjustment, as I am normally the one who uses the tractor. However, today my grandson was here and I wanted to show him some tractor safety. When I went to adjust the seat for him, I realized that I had a...

2000 Kubota B7300HST w/Pronovost 54" Have not had any storms over 22" so am not sure what maximum amount would be, but so far, gobbles snow and waits for more.

Hi guys: It has been awhile since I have been here or posted. After the recent TS Irene hit our area and using my tractor driven generator for a few days, I just finished up doing some PM my B7300....actually hit the 600 hr mark on the meter during the storm. Once that was done, I thought I...

After having problems getting correct filters from the dealer, (the replacement oil filter number is not the same as the original and they do not always have filters in stock when I needed them), I finally got the correct filters crossed to WIX numbers and have found them to be correct in size...
