Goor Morning All...been off the forum for a bit...and still have not bought a tractor :( Different question today that I think I have seen some discussion on here...I know some of you MUST know much about Azek deck boards...since some always know something about everything? :) We are hoping...

After reading many of the comments as new owners took delivery and began to use the new Husqvarna GT48DXLS my dealer finally found one and I took delivery last Friday. First mowing was a quick mow of our cabin yard which took about one hour...I primarily was pleased except for some scalping...

Hi All...I just went to Tuff Torq's web site to look at their Transaxle chart which shows all the models. Most Lawn and Garden Mowers/"Tractors" use Tuff Torq products. I am quite familiar with the TT product numbers as are many on this site...however it appears the TT transaxle product line...

Good Morning...I have about 1-1.5 miles of trails of varying age. Some have little "extra" shoulder space with pine trees (and other trees) very close to the sides. The roots are generally pretty small...maybe 1-1.5" in diameter max. The roots seem to surface over time and are not a positive...

Curious how the "zero turn" style mowers WITH front steering including a steering wheel...function???? Does the front steering wheel JUST steer the from tires OR does it control the rear wheels/tires to create "zero turn" results? I see they appear to have the similar rear "transaxles" as do...

I have been "working" toward a B or BX tractor for what seems like forever. Primary questions have been size of tractor (i.e. B or BX) AND wether to have a tractor with a mower deck. While in the meantime the fellow that cuts my home yard died (I concentrate on working in the woods and have...

I saw an add for 2013 new Kubota L3560 HST with 9 hours at a Kubota dealership. Checked on Tractorhouse and noticed there are quite a few "new" 2013s, 2014s as well as 2015 L3560s still on dealer lots. Called dealer whose original ad I had seen and he says they are great tractors but the price...

Looking for riding mowers with the one of the two Tuff Torq transaxles as used in the JD X500 series (K72) or used in the JD X700 series (K90)...(Tuff Torq web site shows a K92 vs K90). My use is heavy duty mowing in difficult trails and in open but uneven field. The JD prices appear to be...

Just noticed that the B2650 has a "floating" deck vs the B2601 which has a "Suspended" deck? I believe the Floating deck rides on the ground on the deck wheels?...while the Suspended deck is essentially lowered to a desired mowing height and is suspended unless it hits a high spot where the...

Good Morning...just looking at specs for new B2601HSD. The online "Specification" sheet says Position Control Valve...whereas the 2015 Kubota Brochure (dated 01/15) says Quarter Inching for B2301 and B2601?? Targeting a Position Control as "most" comments I have read say that is...

Curious how ease of use (i.e. taking deck on and off), mowing quality and maneuverability when mowing compare between a BX Series and a B series tractor. After determining that I would likely spend quite a bit to get the "garden" tractor I might buy for mowing...I am back looking at a combo...

Realized I was basically discussing Kubota BX and B series and should post here...hope I don't get into trouble for "double posting" :) Thanks...Tom R Good Morning...well my 10 year old 25hp Sears 42" w/wheel weights and chains is very close to its' last days...so to speak. The little machine...

Good Morning...well my 10 year old 25hp Sears 42" w/wheel weights and chains is very close to its' last days...so to speak. The little machine has been a real workhorse and essentially served as a field (once a year...LONG grass and tall weeds) and trail mower. Trails were very rough in first...

Potato Sausage making day! About 15 kids and grandkids coming over to "help". Quite an event with lots of food...very little healthy :) Potato sausage to be enjoyed by all on Christmas Eve...long time family tradition. Both recipe and "technique" passed down for generations (no electric...

I am curious if anyone might have any info regarding a semi-auto I inherited from my father. It is an "fnh Pistole Modell 27 Kal 7,65" (spelling from side of gun) I believe it is a German pistol from WWII...my father brought it back from the war. It was described to me as a "dress" pistol...

I have locally available 4-5 year old potted seedlings potted in about 1 qt pot. They were purchased by a local forester as seedlings for his person use and he potted some that he did not get planted and has kept watered for around four years...also a few WHite Pines and White Spruce. A couple...

2008 L3240 275 Hours R4s/514 FEL/66" Std Bucket/3PT Ballast /Block Heater Price Check Just got a call from local Kubota dealership. They have a consignment unit as described in Subject...not -3 version. The owner died so his wife has at Kubota on consignment. Dealer says only attachment used...

Geed morning...always difficult to sort though discussion and get a feel for real world results/problems that you discover when you actually own/operate machinery. I have a "tendency" to try just a little toooo hard when I am working a task...wether it is one last turn of the screw too many or...

Important question...wife and I purchased 40 acres last fall 1/2 mile from our 90 year old log cabin on a small lake...really are enjoying the new land/trees and trails. This July we also discovered that the property has LOTS of wild blueberries...my question is...What impact would it have if I...

Got a bid from local Kubota dealer for B2630/FEL/block heater/delivery/0% interest 60 mo... Note that the dealer said the 2630 had special dealer support of I think $1000...but the dealer did not tell me the 2630 and 3030 are either have been or are being discontinued...not too nice :) Quote...

Just test drove a 3320/e-hydo/300x FEL...dealer priced out at $23,200 w/48 months 0% interest. Your thoughts? What have others paid? BTW...curious the dealer was pushing the 300x vs the 300cx...I had thought the cx would be a good upgrade? Thanks in advance...TMR

Hello All...curious if the GL3x40 Kubota is the closest "comparison" to the JD 3x20 Series? If so...what are you thoughts...probably will post on both forums. BTW...I am looking at FEL/Box Blade/Brush Hog and maybe MMM...would like to keep attachments at 60" is not too big a problem. Plan on...

I am a bit confused by the JD web site...what size box blade or brush hog will overlap the tread pattern a bit?...say 2-4" on each side?...3x20 series. I guess the question is what is the outside tread width with Industrial and with AG tires? Thanks...TMR

Good Morning...I must admit to a bad case of Craftsman lawn tractor abuse :( Once a year I use my 25HP Craftsman w/wheel heights and chains to "mow" my 2-3 acre field...which I "reclaimed" from the wild about 5-6 years ago (again with the Craftsman). Well, yesterday was the worse ever...I...

As I continue to be a tractor wanabee I am increasing my learning curve of what I will be using a tractor for. My primary uses would be as follows: 1. Work in and around trees in a true woodland setting. Build and maintain trails. I picture using a box blade to smooth trails and ground in...

Last summer I purchased 40 acres of land that has about 5-10 acres that was logged maybe 10-15 years ago. It has many Jackpine stumps left in the ground...maybe 12-18" tall with 6-8" diameters. I kicked a couple and they sure seem very "firm" still. I was chatting with a friend that has...

Good Morning...while I plan on "eventually" buying a tractor w/brush hog...I am wondering if I first buy a walk behind DR brush mower...if I would find it redundant if/when I buy a tractor with a brush hog? I have 120 acres of woods/fields/trails that are to be my retirement project. Making...

Talk about a "sign"...I was just yelling out the front door looking for out cat (we live in the country)...when I saw a semi with a flatbed pull up and STOP on the road right in front of our house. The semi had two brand new bright orange Kubotas and what appeared to be a NH. The Kubotas were...

Hi All...the "forest" is turning my property into jungle and I need a heavy duty pole saw to keep the lower branches clear on my 120 acres...at least the portion that I have by our house and trails...and a bit more. I want the longest "practical" reach and a pro/commercial duty. I know it...

Anyone tried the new Oregon chain sharpening system? Video sure looks like it works well? What is total cost for sharpener/blade and chain? I must be lazy as I do not like sharpening with the vice system and I have not learned to sharpen effectively with just the file and guide...I will be an...

Hi...I am going to visit local JD shop next week to look at a 2004? 4210 with 275 hours/4WD/430 loader...just coming in on trade...originally sold by same dealer. Says stored inside and very clean. Price is $13K First...this seems like it might be a good "first" tractor...even if I believe I...

As I look at various CUTs in the 35 HP range the JD 3x20 series quickly comes to the forefront...along with Kubota L series...xx00 and xx40. One question I have is track width. The 3x20 series appears to be quite narrow...minimum width listed as 40.6" for the 3x20 JDs and 60"-65" for the...

Hi All...I have been learning about CUTs with a thought of purchasing a new one for my woodland property efforts. I have 120 acres of woodlands and want to work on trails/tree thinning and planting/one 3 acre field to brush hog (along with a mile of trails to maintain). I have concluded that...

Hello...I have been looking at Ford 8Ns, etc...and alternatively at new(er) JD 3320, etc. Only had garden tractors and looking for an entry point Today I see what appears to be a very nice JD 420 not far from where I live. Looks like a vintage close to 8N or maybe the Ford 600/800 series...

OK...I will again display my ignorance! Exactly what are HDAPS? I understand they are tires but what makes them so much in demand and what are the features that make them so desireable? Ate they JD OEM?...or just after market? Still learning...Thanks...Tom R

A refurbished...almost "restored" '55 Ford 850...12V w/alternator. Work seems well done by a retired farmer who does this as a hobby. Most mechanical systems were taken apart and re-assembled with repair and new parts as necessary. Rings and pistons were left as is...no smoke from breather...
