We finally got around to painting ours last Fall...

A few years ago we had a broken bench vise that my brother welded for us, and it didn't want to slide back into the hole... so after some serious wiggling and pushing it went in at about 100 MPH.. Finger was in the wrong place at the wrong time and definitely saw starts.. Funny now- wasn't then...

...and how to kill them, preferably without something too harsh? Just found them on some apple trees I planted last Fall.. Thanks !!!

Darnedest thing I ever seen !! Anyone ever see asparagus grow like this???

We planted 10 apple and 2 pear trees last fall in CT from 5 gallon containers and they all made it through the Winter fine... The deer have just discovered the buds on the pear trees, but so far leaving the apples alone... Don't really want to fence the area in unless it's a last resort, so...

I love the idea that they only get about 6' tall because I'm getting too old for ladders.. Just wondering if anyone has luck with these, particularly in the northeast.. Thanks fellas !!

Thanks all.. Sent you a message Ted. I would only lift pallets now and then.. I have a grapple for the rough stuff :)

Hey fellas, Any problem using these forks on my 5740? I like the lighter weight, but the manual says only up to 40hp. Bradco Compact Tractor Loader Pallet Forks, Model Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach Thanks..

I need to open up one end of this 12'x20' gazebo. It's supported by 4x4's 4' on center. I was hoping I could use a double 2x10 or ? and connect to the end 4x4's so I can remove the two inner 4x4's as shown in the picture that the clock and thermometer are mounted on. Thoughts please? And thanks...

When I was growing up, there were a few neighbors who raised their own beef... They would say as a rule of thumb, if you raised 3 steers up from calves, then sold two off when butchering time came, the third would be theirs at little cost... Anyone ever hear this and does it still apply ?? I...

I didn't like the way the Kubota cold started and didn't like the freeze plug option, so I put an inline heater in the lower radiator hose this past Spring... I think it's going to be worth having this Winter... Here's some pictures and a video showing start up with no heater, then plugged in...

Trying to get ahead of the curve for a change and shopping for a quick attach snow plow and 3 pt. pto driven sander. Looking at a Herd 1200S spreader and a Land Pride 9' plow. Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated !! Thanks fellas, Ken

Planted these pines for privacy about 25 years ago, used to keep them trimmed but let the go the past several years.. Had a tree service chip them up. Here they are gone, but also decided to take one birch out that was too close to the house: Birch down: Cut them into sections and ready to...

Does anyone know the approximate weight of an L5740 with a cab, FEL, and loaded tires? I'm trying to figure out if the aluminum trailer I have for car racing is going to be enough to haul it if necessary. It's a Featherlite 18' with dual 3500 lb axles. Thanks in advance..

We have a gravel driveway out back and have been spreading some processed 3/4" gravel to level out. This material packs great as it's all blasted and crushed rock, but the dust is real bad.. My Dad told me that there's something the street crews used to spread on rural dirt roads to hold the...

I've been researching root grapples since I bought the Kubota L5740 back in December. I've sent many of you folks private message and read a ton of threads here on TBN.. I decided on this Land Pride for several reasons, but was a little concerned about the weight (880 lbs. I believe) but it...

Can someone tell me if my tractor has a bypass water pump? I'm looking into putting a heater in the lower radiator hose and they state that a bypass is necessary, I assume so that the heated coolant can circulate and not blow a hose off ?? Also, what is the lower radiator hose size, guessing 1...

We bought a brand new Kubota L5740 back in December, and the only thing I can find to complain about is that it starts a little hard, and puffs quite a little smoke in the shop for a few seconds.. I'm wondering if an engine block heater, plugged in for a couple hours prior to use might help...

Took delivery a few weeks ago and finally a chance to post a few pictures... So far I am loving it, and really glad I got the cab, makes moving snow around so nice it's almost fun !! Look forward to getting to know some of you folks a little better in the future...Now I have to scrape up some...

Dealer is including loaded tires with new purchase of L5740, and they use a product from Ballast Star, I imagine it's Citrastar-50 ?? They claim it's not corrosive but from what I've read here and elsewhere it seems to be calcium chloride with a rust inhibitor added, probably an oil of some...

Getting ready to take delivery of my first new Kubota tractor in the next couple weeks... It's an L5740 with a cab and FEL, and will have a 3rd function valve added by the dealer for a grapple bucket... Just wanted to say hello, looking forward to spending some time here !!
