For what it's worth, I do a dry run using sand and get a basic calibration. Then I mix my grass seed with the sand. I don't think I could just spread the grass seed alone. Just to qualify, mine is a sling spreader but not as nice as yours.

And all of them live in apartments so they don't have grass to cut. I hope their batteries go bad in their Tesla.

I remove mine all the time with forks attached instead of the bucket. But removing with nothing would be a nightmare. For mine, it's not so much the ballast as it is having something on the front to get leverage to get the attaching brackets in the correct position.

Maybe it's on a NC contact and the wire has to be lifted instead of jumping it out.

Buying pre mixed gas reminds me of Coleman "white gas" and RC plane gas. Make sure you got your little funnel so you don't spill any on your little clean weed eater. I probably use five gallons a year easily. Heck, until I read this thread I didn't even know you could buy it pre mixed, at the...

Glad you didn't get hurt.

I'm guessing you threw them drawers away.

I've thought about duals as well for the same reason. I would think if the duals were going to be used for additional traction or pulling power they might not be a good idea. But for smoother ride I see no issue with them.

Have you checked the injector pump? How does it pull under a load like a disc or some sort of plow?

The other possibility if all else checks out is that the generator could have lost excitation. You may need to excite it with a DC source.

Not sure since I got rid of my 5310 I don't have a tech manual any longer. It may require splitting if there's not an access cover. After thinking about it I'm not sure the sync shuttle has external linkages. It may all be internal.

Sounds like the linkage may be out of adjustment.

Must be something about that sensor. I washed my tractor after sinking it in mud twice in one day and mine was doing the same. Har the tech look at it when he was at the farm and by that time of course it was working again. BD, I'm on the road working so I can't look in the tech manual to answer...

Yea, I think those are called telescoping stabilizers that are on your 3 PH arms. They are just like what I have except mine are infinitely adjustable. Some Kubotas are adjustable and some aren't. Point being you have to adjust your sta bars. With a QH you never touch them unless you remove it.

You don't use sta bars or links of some sort?

I don't carry shovels. Not sure what I would use one for.

What is that implement you have behind your Kubota?

Light or not, a 5090 can be bogged down to the frame. IMHO there is no comparison between the 5075 frame and the 5090/5100 frame, which is why I went with the 5090. 5090 and the 5100 are the exact same tractor with fuel delivery differences. You are doing the right thing by looking at the 6...

So Pat's hooks the toplink up and adjusts the stabilizers too? This is a silly issue. You have to hook up the toplink and adjust the sta bars or links. Fighting with stabilizer bars alone is reason enough to have a QH. I back up to an implement, lift and go. Did it all day yesterday. Keep your...

Looks like the oil filter may be under the starter.

It was held on by a nut that came off. It did vibrate just before it decided to leave.

BTW, if you don't have one, you should get you a stabilizer pole. Once you get the vehicle up it adjusts and ratchets under the back to stabilize the back end.

I couldn't do without my lift. I bought a heavy duty Bishmon lift years ago for $1200 and it's one of the most used things I own.

I install the photo eye and satisfy it with the reflector just in front of the eye. Just mount the two to the side somewhere.

I'm thinking the TD didn't cause the problem or is not the problem, I'm thinking it is the result of the problem. Sounds to me like there's a transmission issue that is likely the root of all the problems.

I had one of those circular saw blades come off a weed eater one time. Luckily it didn't come my way. Never did it again.

The small town I am in has 3 companies that transport fuel from the depot in Spartanburg, SC and deliver in our area. They all move a ton of fuel to the area so there is not much danger of getting bad fuel. I have always had bulk tanks. I have always had a bulk tank on a trailer because if I'm...

A big advantage is you can operate the gun with one hand which leaves the other to situate the grease nozzle so the grease actually goes where it is supposed to. How do you tension the tracks on a mini ex?

I can't even see the bend. This is off of a tractor, right? I'll usually do something minor like that on purpose just so it's not "new" anymore.

One thing I would recommend is to go on Ebay and buy a tech manual for your machine. I just sold my PC220 but when I got it I had a ton of questions that the tech manual cleared up for me. Hydraulic and electrical schematics are good quality. I think I paid $150 for it off of Ebay.

I have one Joe. As well as a Milwaukee. I like them both a lot. I'll never pump again. The real test is if they will pump out your track tensioners.

We have it all in SC.

I agree. I was speaking of my new 5090. But my 2002 model 5310 was exactly the same. Any one of the three SCVs would operate my single acting cylinders. My FM has 3 of them so all 3 remotes have to work.

Any of my 3 work on them.

Good morning. Hopefully no rain today but we do have a chance. I have a lot I need to get done today. Have those of you that haven't gotten the shot and want it checked with CVS. I know that locally they were having to throw shots away.

Looks like you have the switches covered.

Here are a few picks after I got the winch frame fabbed and mounted. I also picked up a tool box and got it attached. These pics didn't load in order but they show the progress and the finished product.

Morning! 43 right now. Looking for it to get in the 60s today and rain again. Yesterday was a beauty. Gonna finish getting my winch mounted and go find a toolbox that will fit the front of my trailer.

Picked up the second 140 today. Little work to do but I'm pleased with the trade.

Just picked up my new 24 foot, 16,000 pound trailer. Had to wait a couple of weeks for it to be built. I have to build a structure and mount the new winch then I can measure for some sort of tool box to keep accessories dry.

Be careful out there. I lived in Grand Prairie and FW for 6 years and for the most part Texans can't drive on dry roads. I-30 would be a grid lock if someone was changing a flat tire on the off ramp.

What does this have to do with the distribution of the second shot? If the program was administered correctly the second shot would be earmarked for the patient that received the first shot and shipped with the first shot. Taking the first shot and not having the second on standby is like buying...

It's funny how they say whatever fits their present dilemma. How do they issue the first shot to patients and not have the second one waiting when it's a 2 shot vaccine?

It's concrete, yes. Flooding here is not what I call regular but it has happened 2 times in the last few years. We got the 1000 year flood that we would never see again....until almost exactly a year later and it happened again. A sump would not do much good as there is no where to pump the...

Temperature here is irrelevant this morning though it is 39. What is relevant is it rained...no, it poured all day yesterday and all night long. I am at the flood stage where water starts running in my shop with probably another inch or so of rain. We will see how this morning goes.

My Polaris Ranger would do 70 when I got it, that's mph. After they put the top on it it tops out at 60 or just shy of that now. That Freedom top is really heavy and like a wind sail.

I need to do this. I have 6 or 7 out of date bottles.

My Polaris is a 2007 750 EFI, I think. I got it new with the Freedom top. Hard top, glass front and back, doors, it's like a pickup. A bit warm in the summer but man it's nice in the winter. I'll post a couple of pics tomorrow morning.

43 here, rain is back in full force today and tomorrow. Maybe some sun for the weekend.

Did you harvest that bird from under your feeder?

Nice A. Yep, 140s were king around here for tobacco until the 2 row stuff came along. I've always liked my rows 4 feet anyway. Yea, those rolling cultivators are gonna be nice. I'm going to pick up a set of hillers at Ag South(Supply). I have a 2 row subsoiler bedder but I would need to work out...

I love seeing your pic of the day.

That's the first of 2. I am planning on getting the second one today. It's smoking pretty good. I suspect needs some engine work. I'm stoked about them for sure. I spent a good portion of my life plowing tobacco with one of them before we got 2 row equipment.

Good morning. 34 here in the Pee Dee area of SC. Beautiful day yesterday and supposed to be nice today. Rain starts up again tomorrow. Just in time because I saw a spot in the yard not covered with water yesterday. Just thought I would post up pics of the first of the 2 140s. I'm still convinced...

Here is what the picture of a garden tractor should look like if you look it up on the interweb. Well, they would look like this only oriented properly. Can't seem to get them turned right.

57 and finally a break in the rain after a band of storms came through last night that was pretty bad and probably brought another inch of rain. supposed to rain again this weekend. Sorry for your loss Randy. I wish you would have made it in time. Same thing happened to me with my mom but I...

Just brought the first of my 2 Farmall 140s home. Man is that thing nice. I will post a pic tomorrow when I get #2 home.

Good morning all. 39 and the rain has stopped for today I hope. Supposed to start back up Thursday. Wife is home today for Pres Day. Not sure what I'm going to get into yet. Good cup of my favorite coffee blend first.

37 here in SC. Another full day of rain. Went to Ag Supply yesterday and picked up some items for my tractors as well as a hydraulic cylinder that I hope I can use to fab my deck latch on the 20' Frontier FM so that I can operate it from the cab. Everyone here is sick of the rain. Looks like we...

36 here this morning and still raining. I think it rained 2 inches yesterday, supposed to rain the rest of the weekend. I need that Merc on a boat in my yard. Sitting here with my favorite cup on coffee blend reading what you guys have going on. I have a month before i have to go to Wisconsin...

Picked up my fuel treatment for the 800 gallons I have on hand. It's raining cats and dogs here today. 41 degrees. Also picked up my 12,000 pound winch for my new 16,000 pound trailer I'm waiting to be built. I sure hope I can get it within a week or two so I can haul my new to me tractors home.

daugen, I'm not certain on the fuel usage for this new tractor but it is considerably more than the old 5310. I won't use all that much but I wanted to get it while it was still sub $2/gal. Sounds like it will start going up immediately. I have to go get fuel treatment for it today. He gave me a...

All the rivers here have been above flood stage for months. My yard looks like a mud bogging pit but I can't stop, I have things to do. I will deal with it when it dries.

48 here in SC this morning and raining again. Supposed to do that for the whole weekend and most of next week. My big farmer friend that I've been horse trading with bought 4 new 8000 gallon fuel tanks. He had a really good looking 500 gallon tank left that he gave me. I got it setup yesterday...

Nice Chevelle toppop. Sorry to hear about your mother. I've been through it with both parents. They passed away 6 months apart. Randy

I actually had 2 Chevelles. Neither in great shape and a ton of work required for both. They were included in my tractor trade so I am Chevelleless now. My Nova is a 63 and in great condition. I plan to put an updated entire front sub frame with all of the goodies under it as well as a new IRS...

Toppop, I have a few left. I am doing a resto-mod on a 67 Chevy PU right now. I have a 63 Nova SS in the que. These International Farmall 140s are getting hard to find now. This one is as good as I have seen. It's ready to garden with all of the cultivators. I saw one sell on the equipment...

Good morning, 52 here and more, yet more rain to come. Power plants, I've been working in them since 1988. First at SRP in Aiken, SC, then Santee Cooper, a small excitation company and now with Emerson, in the excitation division. All I do is voltage regulator retrofits, service, startup and...

Voltage regulators. Or the technical term generator controls. AVRs are a niche that few people understand and work on. I've made most of my career out of them. All of my career has been devoted to power generation. I've worked on every AVR in every nuke in the US. most of the GE and Westinghouse...

Thanks. They are coal. I installed the regulators on them 6 or 7 years ago. They need some tuning parameters changed so they can run very low VARS at night when they need to. I don't mind going there to work. It's 45 minutes from me. I've been watching all the snow. I think I would prefer snow...

Morning. 48 here and rain yet again today. Supposed to rain the remainder of this week and most of next. It's been awful this year. I have to head down to the Myrtle Beach area today to work on the regulators on 2 - 300 megawatt generators.

So I'm gonna throw this out there. Wanna hear all the reasons why it's a bad idea...or a not so bad idea. Some of the ideas I already know. I would like to make a PTO shaft that connects to my 5090 PTO and extends far enough back to make connecting the PTO not so difficult with the QH on...

Or this one.

I got this from my dealer's bone yard a few days ago. Had to fab the mount from a mount they had and get some new fittings on the two tractor hoses. Thais is what I ended up with.

Well, look what the tooth fairy dropped off today. Haloview 7108, 3 cameras, power supply for a remote camera and 3 mag bases. I'll have to fab a bracket to mount the monitor. I know exactly where it is going. Bad thing is I have to go to Phoenix area for a job, probably a month to month and a...

Good morning from SC. It's warming back up here 70 this morning.

Turn off email notifications for threads that I post on. Very annoying and it blows up my email. I can't seem to find that switch in my settings.

I've owned a JD 5310 for years, a MF 289 before that. I've accumulated an array of attachments over the years and in fact I farmed my 35 cleared acres for years but the primary function of my JD has been to mow 5 or so acres of pasture grass in front of my house and take care of keeping the...
