OP Listed machines are the JD 756 being 20HP - should have a cat 1 3PT, and 585 being a large garden tractor with cat 0 3PT - so that northern tool unit should match OK. TSC has a beefier one for $350 as a step up. Agree a tiller will work to get the top 6-8", then you could create a trench...

I agree with a BH, but a subsoiler will work but you will need to add weight to get ground penetration. Multiple passes going deeper should loosen the soil/rocks enough to dig the holes. Here's an inexpensive one - under $200 so your not sinking a lot of $...

I agree - winter is for planning - we have 700' of fence to install in the spring in rocky/ledge soil so I am thinking to rent a small skidsteer for two days $600 with down pressure auger to put in 40+ posts vs buying a PHD for my tractor with no down pressure may be money well spent renting vs...

Do what CrashZ and Forky says - touch the HST pedal to relieve the stress in the driveline should make it easier, also having it in 4WD mode makes it a bit harder to shift I found - so I run in 2WD most of the time unless in snow or needing 4WD.

See the attached diagram - disconnect item # 40 rod and then the shift mechanism is loose or moves freely, then its likely inside the transmission. If it doesn't move easily with # 40 disconnected try lubing up the connecting points with PB Blaster if they are tight, or taking them apart and...

Are you planning on primer - like two part epoxy? If so you need to paint within a day or so of the priming. If your not going to do the epoxy then Rustoleum Rust Reformer or Krylon Rust Protector Primer followed by the final paint - i would do a dark primer and then the dark bluish/gray paint...

Here's a link to mini log grapples - there are about 10 of them out there commonly used by tree services. https://www.miniloaders.com/buying-a-mini-loader-grapple/

Welcome to TBN and congrats on your new tractor, and excellent first post! You did your homework, but it was the home work you had early in life that made the difference. I grew up with JD 420 on the farm many hours plowing, discing, planting and combining - they were small but could do a lot...

Here are several articles on relining brakes: Yes you can bond on new pads with epoxy and pressure and or rivets (the most common) if you don't mind drilling your rotors for the rivets. Brakes in HST tractors don't get much use, but in gear tractors and farming applications the brakes are used...

Yea - relining is what I thought too might be the best bet - are these wet brakes in oil? Probably makes a difference in relining adhesive/approach.

Tractor Supply has replacement disks but none appear to be 26 spline, then yesterday's tractors has some too Ford Brake Disc for Ford 3550,4000,4200,4500 - C5NN2A097B This is the closest spline wise.. Oliver Brake Disc for Oliver Super 55,66,Super 66,550,660,White 2-44 - 106690A IMO if you can...

And going back to an earlier thread (Sept 2021) on converting a used Kubota L2501 to SSQA the OP asked the same question about a stump bucket here. l2501 pinned loader to ssqa Did you buy a new 2501 or this used one? Good advise above. One word of warning, the L series loader it pretty...

What Bubba said I had two sets on my 2000 Tundra and when my Bridgestone Duelers wear out on my 2018 Tundra it will be with Michelin LTX - got 50K usually with regular rotation

Agree if you can get the at least the ring, and pinion would be good while you have it apart, but they aren't terrible if you cant, as long as you get the metal shavings out and can shim for a good fit you have some years left in them.

They work but they take patience and time, and anything more than 12" will take a few hours unless in sandy soils. Titan attachments sells a compact tractor version for $650 and you will have a lot of ground work/clean up to do afterwards. So if you have a lot of 3-10" size it should be fairly...

I agree with rscotty - if you take care and are careful the 3PT BH will do fine. I had the kubota L175 with 3PT Kubota BH and it would do a lot of work but was loose and a night/day difference vs the B21 TLB. The B21 or for that matter the TLB or rigid frame mount BH will do better than a 3...

We use on average 550KWH/month - 3000 SF house, do 4 loads wash a week, electric dryer, FHW Oil heat, gas/propane stove, 1.5HP well pump, 3 TVs', and a fridge. I don't consider our use extensive, but Eversource is expensive at $.22/KWH so $120/month. The garage 7.2KW solar panels net metering...

As others have said a poor or loose ground or positive connection will show voltage to the solenoid but without a solid connection it will not allow full current to the starter solenoid. It might show 12.8 V but its weak.

I'd speculate Kailor bought 10 acres of raw land, is going to build a house eventually, and needs a tractor eventually, and will return .. eventually. Time will tell.

I would imagine this is the standard three wire pump with the control box which has the capacitor and start relay in the box instead of in the pump. Mine is a two wire with the capacitor and start windings in the pump. Either way both pumps (2 or 3 wire with control box) draw the same starting...

Yes - it is a portable genset and the 32 Amps is @ 7500W and at 9500 surge is 43 amps and the pump draws 22-23 amps starting- 13 amps running - you can tell when it kicks on but it handles it fine.

Beowolf, I got the same feedback from Tesla on the Power Wall to hook into our solar - we have the same pump size 1.5 HP, down 375' - it draws 22-23 amps on start up 13 amps running. We had a 6500W starting, 5500W (or 24 AMP 240V) continuous genset, which really struggled with the pump so...

You've been busy - right at it! Sorry about that, sounds like a R&R of the RF axle/pinion gear - was it leaking oil?

That's a cute raccoon dog - it came thru fine. I have an iPhone, I take pics and send them to mail then save - and it prompts on the file size you can select to send - for example instead of 4MB each they are 2-300K each. I see pics on here all the time at 2-4MB so its not a limitation of TBN...

Nice pics of the crab capability of the Toolcat - my question is about the fence. That's a fine looking fence with painted metal rails thru the posts, and round tops. Is this fence/post/rail something that was fabbed by you or purchased components? Also I see the end's/corner are welded flanged...

While it's still running take it outside and do another washdown - maybe some simple green spray first then wash / scrub the remaining dirt and oil residue off before you disconnect any hydraulic lines or wire terminations - you want it clean as possible then ziplock bag and tie the loose parts...

A few details - this boiler was mandated in Germany/Europe in the 90's to meet lower emissions, and it has a number of differences to the normal oil boiler. We have a GB125 BE - 87K BTU, three pass boiler with outdoor temp offset control same that is on many newer oil furnaces. - High...

Assume you plan to keep it, as the repairs are cosmetic/minor like mine were with seals etc. go for it. My suggestion is to keep the hood/fenders blue - sand and repaint then do the ROPS, FEL, canopy, wheels, in blue to match. It will take some work to do the FEL to R&R the cylinders, hoses...

We replaced old oil boiler in 2009 with a Buderus 90% eff blue flame boiler for heat and DHW - cut our oil usage from 850 to 500 gal per year, and pre buy oil each year 2020 was $1.99, and this year $2.49 so $1250 a season for oil heat and hot water. Installed 7.2KW of solar panels in 2014 and...

Nice project - you can make a gasket - trace the lid on an old inner tube and cut out holes for the two rods, or maybe find a mason jar seal ring but may not be compatible with PS fluid. Looks pretty good all cleaned up, and yes red would be nice, but blue would be easier - no need to remove...

Old Tractor Cultivator - likely a mid and rear mount. I worked at an IH dealership and saw this similar setup on old Farmall cubs, and C series. http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=62119

We installed a 24 panel 300W LG panels 7.2KW grid tie system December 2014, south facing garage roof - pitch 38*. This has generated 7200KWH per year average. As of Dec 2021 we will have generated 51MW of electricity. I considered installing it myself, and hiring a electrician ($16K total...

Here's one in your price range - 2021 Kubota LX 3310 - heavy equipment - by owner - sale Then you can find Mahindra 2638 38HP new with cab and loader for $30K too This is not a great time to buy a tractor (or car truck) as everything is in short supply. If you can wait for 2 years and stay...

Lefty7 - your a good writer - start a book series Mr McRototiller

The Kubota L5460HST (54HP) and up from there and are Cat 1 or Cat II 3PT compatible so you can use your existing implements which in your case is very important. You should also consider a front grapple for trees and manure loading - but a set of tines on the loader is good for manure/straw...

Are you keeping your 560 and attachments? That's a heavy machine so I would think you might want something a bit bigger - like the Kubota L3560-4060 size with a Cab. I agree with the others stay away from the 3350 series.

My neighbor had this unit and I bought it not running. Has a blade, and hiller attachment too. Hadn't ran in 8+ years so replaced fuel lines - cleaned carb all gunked up and starts now with a touch of the key. Tires still have ribbing in them - wasn't used much at all. I like to find these...

Most aftermarket are expensive $4-6K unless you can find a used one. Westendorf makes loaders for many tractors but you might find a Kubota dealer will install an OEM one for similar $. https://www.loaders.com/

I was referring to the earlier Cub Cadets from the 90's to early 2000 with the Sunstrand hydro's - for example I found this 1864 this summer with 185 hours and had the deck blasted and epoxy painted. Then went thru it changed the valve covers, engine and hydro oil and now its ready for a new home.

Check out Simplicity/Ferris made in Sherrill NY (used to be in Munnsville NY) and the Simplicity garden tractor line is made in WI - they might make them in NY too - not sure. Otherwise the JD garden tractors are good as are second hand Cub Cadet garden tractors - if you can find a shaft drive...

It's definitely a Kubota - it has the same operator column and gauges as my B21 and the Hydro pedal and hydro dipstick and the D905 is a Kubota engine designation also see here TractorData.com Kubota GB15 tractor information

I have the 40V HF Lynx and do the same undercut on branches and let the saw do the work from the top. Lynx is a great tool for the price and I have it on the tractor cut to up 4-6" stuff on the ground to clear downed limbs into manageable lengths.

Attaching a sharpened L bracket to a trimmer head sounds risky - I can't envision your mounting? Can you post a pic of your setup? Most of the cutter heads are three blade hardened steel or a circular carbide blade attached to the head directly. Here's the Stihl brush cutter...

Well Reagen - when you return, enjoy the dialogue and discussion on this thread! There are some good nuggets here - it's really how and which of those nuggets resonate best with your situation and goals. BTW, "We have goats and are looking to get more animals, and will need a tractor that can...

I second ericm suggestion getting a brush cutter blade first, however they can get tangled up and wrap around the shaft which is a PIA. Or rent one of these two type machines if you have a lot of area to clear where your rotary cutter cannot. Walk Behind Brush Cutter | Sunbelt Rentals...

Fuel oil or propane delivery trucks turning with their front tires stationary? Air brake release on a large truck, but that would be all year and not just in the fall.

Rent a concrete saw $100/day but the 24" size only cuts like 9" deep - then get under with your BH and lift up and they should break up. https://www.unitedrentals.com/marketplace/equipment/concrete-masonry/street-saws-blades/self-propelled-concrete-street-saw-24-gas-powered

Put some mixed gas in a spray bottle and spritz the carb (with filter off) if it starts you have a fuel delivery issue as roadworthy pointed out above.

I put a Tonneau Pro on my 2018 tundra - inexpensive $250 and it doesn't leak and handles snow loads too. It's a two minute job to fold up to haul larger stuff, and 5 minutes to take on/off. https://www.tonnopro.com/tri-fold-bed-covers I had a Leer cap on my old Tundra - like it but it was a PIA...

I had the dealer put a Tonneau Pro on my 2018 tundra - inexpensive $250 and it doesn't leak and handles snow loads too. It's a two minute job to fold up to haul larger stuff, and 5 minutes to take on/off. https://www.tonnopro.com/tri-fold-bed-covers I had a Leer cap on my old Tundra - like it...

David, Get as big as a pressure tank that will fit, 8 or 10 gallon drawdown and stack the tank in the corner as mentioned above the water softener - and use the CSV - get the best of both worlds - constant pressure when needed, less cycles and not turning on every time you brush your teeth or...

We have 2 Wellextrol wx205/wx203 tanks in series with a total of 24 gallons drawdown at 40-60 PSI which minimizes pump starts - they take up 20x48" but space is not an issue. We also have a 1.5 HP Goulds 10GS15 set at 365' deep, and a generator, so when the power goes out, we minimize water...

Hi David, Can you post the pump details from Aqua Science 15 GPM setup quoted as your well/pump will be at 190', 20 GPM output, and water averages around 70' as I recall? The Goulds 7GS 3/4HP will easily pump 8-10 GPM, and the 10 GS 3/4HP will average around 10-12 GPM at the depth you are...

- Suggest if you do a Combi Heat/DHW wall mount unit - Rinnai make a good unit that is modulating and this means only one Propane connection, vent etc and saves space. Also you have 3 heat sources - Wood, Mini Splits, and the Boiler, so likely the radiant is for BR's and comfort. - Have you had...

Have you tested for hardness/minerals that you know you need a softener? With a large 1" sediment cartridge filter and water softener you could "stack" the water tank above the filters/softener in the corner of the room taking up a 2x2x8'H space. The well bladder tanks are light (empty) but...

Hello David, This referring back to post 2497 regarding your pump selection and options. It's always preferred to buy from your local suppliers but if they don't/won't then buy on line and install it yourself. I have used You are being redirected... as a source for pumps, pipe and systems and...

Same here - used to sharpen my Husky 55 with 3/8 chain with a guide and for some reason it would start to cut at an angle after 3-4 sharpenings. When I bought a Dolmar 6100 with the 3/8 chain I got the Stihl sharpener you and 747driver and what a difference! Makes it easy to keep a chain sharp...

Great progress on your build and getting all the service lines in/run, I applaud your balance of life and work too! What is the plan/timeline for the electrical service tie in and power to the house panel? Then the well install etc.?

I've have the 1811 and now a 1864 too and they can tow/pull a lot - I pulled a 8x10' wide chain link fence dirt leveler with 300 lbs of weight on it, with dirt buildup was over 600Lbs dead weight behind my 1811 to grade my lawn - not a problem. The 1811-1864-1872 are basically the same tractor...

The Toro WH 15-38 is a 15HP 38" cut belt drive riding lawn mower not a GT (garden tractor) similar to any of the vertical shaft belt drive hydro lawn mowers out there. But for free, get it running, clean it up and sell it. When you say your 1872 doesn't have the torque of the 2544 - is this...

Assume this is your Cub 2544 with the Kohler 21 twin Cylinder HP Command Engine you are asking about? All the replies above are "spot on" as it seems to be a fuel issue. My experience and suggestion after rebuilding the CC 18HP Magnum carb, replacing fuel pump, is to get a complete replacement...

Looks like Long Island and CT Coast line New Haven area is where it lands now - then maybe it will head east our way or north who knows - but Thomas Lebanon may be far enough north not to see too much! Test ran the genny this am so were ready!

Welcome to TBN - you can try a search here on TBN, or Google too.. Here's a link to an older post that discusses options and using other model 3PT parts. 3-Point Hitch - John Deere tlb 110

When you install the pump piping into the house, run another line out from the house tank to feed your outside hydrants in the same trench then branch off to the outdoor water hydrants. Also put a shut off for the outside piping JIC you want to blow them out, or if you dig one up unexpectedly...

Hi Gyford. I agree with you the 9" or 12" Frost Free "spigots" that go in the wall of a house are not the best- I have had 2 fail internally - not due to freezing but internal mechanical failure. I concur with what others suggest for WCD, to install several (weatherproof - 3' or so deep)...

Based on static water at 56' a pump set at 185-190' or 20-25' off the bottom should work well. As over time sediment from drilling and with water inflow - sand etc. will settle to the bottom, and your main water seam is at 130-140 depth so you will be pumping on average around 100-120' depth...

Drop an ice cube as I recall it’s 40’ per second roughly. Or tie a wrench or nut to a string or your tape and drop till it hits water. 1” 250 psi poly pipe in the well and to the house is most commonly used.

Well that stinks that your driller didn't include the pump in the deal, but the devils in the detail as always. As Gary49 have said, Goulds and Grundfos are top of the line pumps, and for your depth and flow 30 GPM, and then your planned usage (orchard, house, etc) look for for the number of...

Agree with others you are watering a 1/2 acre way too much, it needs maybe 2 times a week 40 minutes per zone which for a 1/2 acre should be 5-6 zones with 5-6 heads per zone. Also install a rain sensor $20 or so that shuts the system off if enough rain has fallen (they use expandable cork that...

Suggest cutting 6" from the middle with one weld in the center with a gusset from the removed piece to reinforce it. Or cut 6" off one end - goal to only have one weld joint.

At 8 YO I was forking manure by hand every spring for 3 weeks into the spreader, then we got an FEL trip bucket for the JD420 - wow that was amazing progress not to have to fork s*** manually anymore, in 1966 we got a new JD 1020 with FEL and a loader with up/down pressure that was a dream to...

I agree with Jack above - put the retaining wall 10-15' from the building and then bring the grade up to the shed which may mean you need a lower wall potentially, Then backfill and get close to the grade/elevation you need for your pole barn. Then as s219 and others have stated, do your...

Get the "basic" manual plow or a very basic hydraulic angle plow, AND a 6'7' back blade for counter weight and cleanup. Your FEL and standard bucket will do most everything else - grading and leveling dirt, Mulch etc. Also since you have a unit on order you probably wont have any pricing...

If you want to "wear out your back don't get a back hoe" yes you can do much more renting a mini excavator but for utility and having a swiss army tool at your disposal "when you need it" is key. As others have stated a BH with a thumb is a tool you will never regret having it long term -...

I have the Ratchet rake and yes, it does collect everything and clog with dirt and sticks. For my bony/rocky soil reclamation from stumped ground, it was useless as it bounced off the rocks and left plies of sticks everywhere. So a landscape rake is a better option to windrow (angle) the major...

I agree a landscape rake is the best solution for debris. But if you want to improvise get landscape tines here $100 and bolt on with u bolts to your box blade. Lot of 15 Rake Tines 13 3/4'' x 15 1/4'' Landscape Rock Rake Tines NEW FAST SHIP | eBay Rake debris into piles and back drag piles...

Most items except fresh lobster and fish is higher in the NE than the rest of the country! Laborers charged out at $40+ Hr and excavators $200/hr then the required certified septic sand $30/ton, then the approval process, engineering, town approval and permitting is a big $ suck - every agency...

Depending on where you are located, rates will vary $150 low side to $200 hr plus transport costs range $250-350? each way. Then you will have a few piles of trees to burn/remove too. Depending your final plans and soil type you may need topsoil etc.

Very nice looking bridge and project! Also if the decking has one straight edge, and your support beams are +-2" width variance, you can predrill through a stack of deck boards right on the trailer with a longer bit rather than drilling one at at time.

Unburned fuel causes backfire due to incorrect fuel mixture settings and or valve adjustment. But as Tomplum states air cooled machines should not be idled low as it affects cooling.

Agree with midniteoyl, valve clearance can cause this too - easy to check and adjust. Also if you suspect its fuel related, its easy to remove the air filter and with a small spray bottle of gas, spritz into the carb throat if it starts/runs like this then it could be the carb float or the...

Here's a pic of my 1811 - it's a 1989 model so 4-5 years newer but has same GE lights and you see a white wire and the green (ground). My lights are ran from the ignition switch and are part of the harness that plugs into the back of the switch. The blue wire on the right is the feed from the...

I had the 1250 before getting my 1811 - very nice machine you found! Looking at the pics I see two different machines - the gear and the hydro - did you buy both?

Have had a Ramsplitter 3 PT for 15 years. http://www.ramsplitter.com/3-point-log-splitters.html It's set up for the 3PTH but I have it on the loader and ran off my BH hydraulic lines. It can go down to the ground using the FEL for big logs. Also, use the BH to lift and cut the rounds, then...

I got these debris forks from Titan attachments - they do a great job with debris cleanup and larger rocks. I have reclaimed several acres here over the years with my B21 grinding stumps and picking rocks. This year we took down trees and rented a real machine 40K Lbs for stumping and boulder...

Agree with Tomplum - the OEM one on Ebay for $60 plus shipping is $15 and Ferris parts shows it @ $93. You could go to an auto parts store or Tractor Supply to see if you get one close. IMO just bite the bullet get a new one as its not a oft replaced item - maybe 500 hours? I have 340 hours on...

It seems like an ideal application for a electric ZT - use it once a week, recharges for the next session, IF you are ready to replace or buy a new unit then it makes sense $ wise. We are in the early adoption phase of electrification in general, and will see improvement/innovation in the next...

Why not attach a spring tine to the blades and run the PTO at low RPM - you might get some belt slippage. Or you could attach the spring tines to the 4x4 or RR ties too.

Condition and care is likely the deciding factor. Both are good machines, but like SteveM said, 200 fewer hours and 5 years newer and if what you indicated was a better kept machine - I would vote Simplicity. I agree for the age, both are about $2-300 overpriced IMO but depends on your local...

The fixed thumb arm needs to be more HD than what appears to be 1/8" steel? I bent my Cat 1 Brotek thumb within a week, and Richard shipped a new Cat 2 (1") setup and thumb. From the looks of the teeth you are getting into rock, so get a better extension arm or build one - it's the weak link...

Same here, just seeded 12,000 SF of new lawn area May 16 and no rain past or in the near future, and 90* temps here in NH - just hoping my well pump hangs in there! Good point on practicing with the ZT, and do it on the driveway, and i usually do three point turns to minimize tearing up the...

The OP seems to have little interest in opinions on TBN just one hit and gone, or maybe already bought something and moved on.

Looks like the same one - If only the OP would respond and save $5K or more! @ $30K that's a decent deal given the location.

Willy, That's a nice package with most of the things included - No BH though - that adds $7K, but the baler, grapple, and other goodies are likely equivalent to the BH. Also, in Alaska things tend to be 20-30% more landed cost due to availability, shipping, and remote nature of the state...

We have three Mitsubishi mini-splits all single zone ductless units - one 9K in a 16x42 detached office in the garage as the primary heat/ac, then in the house 1 12K in the downstairs 32x52' with 32x32 the main living area and one 9K in the 20x52 upstairs Bedroom/bath/sitting room. These are...

I like this idea - we have irrigation and if a leak or a hose is left on this would be an easy check vs going down and looking at the one on the pump switch.

Welcome to TBN! The roof pitch is probably your biggest challenge - as a 4/12 pitch would mean the high side needs to be about 13.5' out of the ground and the low side would be 10'. The mid point height assuming the AC unit is centered on the trailer needs to be about 11' (13.5'-32" =10.8')...

Agree but you "store" a tractor inside, and "park" it outside. My father taught me to provide protection and cover for all our farm equipment in all seasons, if you want them to last, otherwise they age 10-15 years in 2-3 years being outside.

Welcome to TBN! Congrats on your purchase too - its a tough little TLB. I suggest Messicks for parts, filters and diagrams here Kubota B21 Parts Also your location and finally some pics of your new machine.

A friend of mine just bought a B7500 with 1600 hrs and a rear finish mower for $8500. Yours is newer and less hours and with the loader and MMM I would say $11K +- depending on condition. For the rest of the implements hard to put a value - maybe $800 each for the plow and lawn vac?

Is that with the equine discount :) Must be an M6 Cab - nice machine - happy wife happy life

Very nice work there, and wouldn't it be nice if Kubota thought ahead and put a access cover in that area and did what you did to the splined shaft to allow for R&R without splitting. What in your estimation caused the fracture to that U-Joint? Seems like that would take a lot of torque to snap...

Looks like the Kubota with BH is right about list - and less 10% would be $33,500 range.

My neighbor has a Husky 18 HP with the Tuff Torq drive, and at 550 hours his transmission went so he replaced it - he only tows a small trailer with 50-100 lbs of branches etc. The dealer said these transmissions go between 400-500 hours. My experience was similar on towing my Trac Vac -...

As a kid I was immune then about 22 i got in PI and ever since get it once a year usually a mild case though. But 10 years ago some trees fell in a storm in the early winter and I proceeded to cut them into log lengths. I ended up at the Dr as was it systemic in my bloodstream - every few days...

Looking forward to seeing your new to you BX25D pictures tomorrow, as any day you get a new machine is a great day. Then the happiness begins using it!

Congrats on your decision - you will enjoy that machine. Just a comment on getting a 48" rotary cutter - since it comes with a 60" deck why not just use that instead of another attachment? If it's rough ground/rocks and small trees and stumps I understand why you might get one, but if you...

That's an excellent buy - you can run it for 5 years and not lose much value.

We have a lot of gray squirrels around and for 30 years haven't had a problem with them, but for some reason their smaller cousins, the red squirrels have chewed holes in walls trying to get in and have been more of a problem. We had a family of them in a dormer where the siding trim meets...

Yes - that makes sense - you can park over it and with the hoe turned sideways isn't too big. I put mine on a dolly and roll it away to the side of the barn - takes up 3'x6' - then on reinstall roll back into position and hook up the lines and its back on quickly. It weighs ~ 700Lbs but easy...

The Kioti BH also sits further off the back vs the 4PT Kubota is tighter to the frame/tractor - less of a cantilever, and increased angle of approach. Then do install/removal of each one or look at online videos, the subframe install is not as easy, and finally does your ground clearance...

Agree, anything over 800 hours unless you know the history will have some maintenance in the future. If you can find a Cub Cadet shaft drive GT 2550, or a John Deere 304 5-10 years old with 3-400 hours for $1500-2K those are decent machines. For the money Simplicity make a decent lawn/garden...

You can find the parts lists for B21 on line at Messicks Tractor and here are two PDF's of the front axle parts. I don't know what other models share the same parts but the B21 are typically more HD components than a similar B series. Usually they don't leak unless bearings are going, or there...

I use the 3PT - 6' landscape rake, 6' Rear Blade (for grading and snow) and 5' Rear Snow blower. No need to worry about how strong it is - it will handle it. From a realistic user experience, I leave the BH on April to November and use the bucket to grade loam and stone, unless I have a big job...

Here are some pics - its still on the shipping crate as I have my BH on yet doing some late fall wood cutting. - Shipping crate is steel - I intend to cut it down and put casters on it - already got 8 4" casters on ebay and will make two dollys - 1 for the SB and one for the BH for storage -...

I agree.. Ooklaa I could sell you my 520 hour Kubota B21 TLB with a Thumb to pick up those log lengths and include the hydraulic wood splitter too in your price range for under $20K.

Well after timbersaws pics from down under that's a huge amount from one tree! - that's really hard to match! And I try to keep my Kubota from growing woody's like walkin horse as that's usually bad news! Here's my simple setup - BH and Thumb setup picks and lifts to cut height and the front...

Attended the JSJ auction in Epping NH today. The L4330 HST with Cab, HD QA bucket, and two rear remotes with 317 hours sold for $22,000. This did have the subframe BH mount too for the Woods 80 BH. The same buyer bought the Woods BH for $5500. Total package with the BH was $27,500. They had...

Hi guys, So I did a little data mining this AM. I did a search on TBN members that listed "TLB" in their equipment owned profile. So I could have missed some on here that have a TLB machine and not part of their profile.. There are 575 members with some version of TLB. See the breakdown in...

Friend of mine had this for sale - picked up Saturday took a trial run about and everything works great! Spent today cleaning up grease and oil off the transmission area and geting to know this machine and doing some cleanup. Its a 1972 model, got all the manuals and repair / maintenance...

Installed a B&M 70255 Transmission cooler on my Ferris IS2000 25/52 today. Unit has 60 houes total on it in two years (residential use). I was concerned about the operatinig temp 180* @ 75* ambient and the fact the Ferris has added these to the IS3100 this year (and all bigger machines IS5100...

I have been sourcing Goulds pump and Franklin motor components for my backup spare pump. Long story short, I have a 10 Y/O goulds 10GS pump end and needed a 1.5HP two wire Franklin motor. Best price I could find was $346 here Pond Pump Motors plus $25 shipping. Received the motor in 3 days...

Saturday AM - could not figure out why irrigation didnt run... Hmm took cap off well and can hear the pump running even tho I thought there was no water being drawn, so dropped a stone to check the water level - 15 seconds or about 350' is static level - this is lowest I have ever seen. Long...

Currently we have a 1.5 HP 10GS15 2 Wire Goulds pump set at 360',(total depth 400') static water level varies from 85-150' depending on time of year (we have 14 zones irrigation). The well flow rate is 10GPM + and we have never ran out of water. We had this well drilled in 97 and installed the...

Possumhound, I run the Ferris IS2000 with 4 wheel suspension - works great, ride is smooth over rough ground. Look at the video on the Ferris web site.. and see my comments and others earlier in this post about Ferris too. Also Simplicity is made by Ferris.

Ferris and Simplicity make several models (same plant makes both) and Simplicity models are Cobalt and CItation that are similar to the Ferris but $500-1000 less on average. Ferris 500-1500 Series - 500 is the near commercial unit with B&S engine, and the 1500 ugrade is a better frame and...

Hi all, First I would like a welder for occasional use repairs, making some gates etc (had a Lincoln 225 on the farm), and could use a backup generator larger than my present genset of 5700 W 24 AMP 220V. I only have 20A 220V (two 110 circuits) in barn for running lights and tools where I...

All, I have several acres of pine stumps and ledge - probably 35 - 30"+ stumps and 25 stumps in the 15-20" range. Ledge and rock 4-6' in size also need to be realigned to reclaim the land to replant trees and generally reclaim the area after this years storms. Land is reasonably flat, no...

Cub 1811 650 hrs - owned since new - always have had Hydro whine and some squeal but did a Cub Hydro filter and oil replacement with Kubota SUDT (new - left over from my B21) recently and now when hot it has the hydro whine but also sounds like air passing thru the valves - squeals like a pig...

Its wood time again in NH and here are some shots of my set up - a front mounted splitter from Doug @ Ramsplitter modified from the normal 3PTH set up, Legs were added to the normal unit along with 15' hoses so I can keep the BH attached as well easily R&R the splitter. I can hook this up in...

Does the SUDT 2.5 Gal container have just the paper/plastic seal or is there a permanent foil type seal and the paper/plastic cap seal? The reason for asking is i purchased three containers online (dealer) for $62 each incl shipping and thought it odd there wasn't a peel off foil type seal...

As I am writing this (wireless works to 300+'!!) I wait for the reemergence of the bobcat that has made a den behind the barn in an area several years ago we filled with rocks and stumps. Earlier today the Bobcat and I stared each other down for 5 minutes then she disappeared. So I got the...

Here are several shots of the big scoop I made thanks to Harv's post One Large Scoop Please, and other comments and feedback from that post. Essentially this is 2" angle iron with 3/4" plywood base. The 1/2" pins with quick clips go through the angle iron and bucket sides. The 5/8" plywood...

Inspect your hydraulic cylinder rods for paint before extensive use, as I now have a second leak on a cylinder which is due to O rings missing during the paint process. They are supposed to put o rings on the retracted cylinder to protect the paint/seal interface on all cylinders. My LF bucket...

Just wondering the opinion of shutting down the tractor while loading debris and rocks into the FEL bucket. This weekend had the task to rip up pavement, came out in nice big chunks then used a sledge to break them apart in the bucket The load time was about 10 min I left the tractor running...

Blue Book/NADA For CUT\'s I have viewed several forums for tractor pricing and resale values, however cannot seem to find a universal guide that fits the ticket for the CUT market. In addition, it would be interesting to determine what the potential resale values will be 2-5-10 and maybe even...

Anyone out there that has converted a std Cub rider to a tighter turning radius. Would seem to be possible with a conversion kit for the front spindles.. I have a Cadet 18HP Kohler Hydro- Trans & Lift w/44" mower. Carl

I have recently installed a 600' L x 8' H "Deer Fence II" around the perimeter of the yard in the wooded portion of the property with exception that is about 100' bordering our neighbors property with few trees to attach the material. This portion also abuts or joins their fence line (cedar 4')...
