Here's the one that I just put up this summer. So far I'm happy with the product and the service. It's the top of their line product. I've got about $700 in gravel and timber base. And $2100 in the product with Shipping....12x24x8. This is not what the wood, concrete and nail guys would...

After "google" search about chain manufacturers and chain markings, I'd like to be sure what the marks on my chain mean. I've got 50 feet of silver colored 5/16" chain that has these marking every six links........"PM" and "M3" alternating every six links. This must be grade 43 chain made by...

Hi fellow gardeners, I've raised about 75 strawberry plants for several years. The past 3-4 years the white grubs have done a lot of damage. Sure enough, when I see a plant that is looking sick, I dig down and find the grub chewing away at the root. Is there anything chemical that I can...

Well, it's better than this!

As often reported by newbies, hooking up the FEL can be a problem if there is pressure in either side of the hookup. I thought that I had this down by simply pushing a steel dowel into both sides of the hook up to relieve the pressure. Well, today the ambient temperature is hitting about...

If you have a FEL or Boom Pole you can hang it like this to get a good drain. There still some mess however.

......What kcender said. The BX 60inch mower OE manual doesn't say how much. It just says to grease the illustrated zerks. Back in 2009 my MMM would not take any grease on one zerks called the "balance shaft". I took that joint apart several times, checked the zerk, and even sanded the...

I've run out of places to hand spread shredded leaves/sticks in my garden and various paths around the place. Is there an attachment that will dispense this material behind my tractor into open fields? Most of the sticks end up less than 6 inches x 1/2 inch mixed in with the 99% leaves...

Being fairly new at using a tractor driven tiller, I've encountered a few problems. How about some tips from the more experienced. My ground has been gardened 40 years with a walk behind tiller and lots of hoeing. But when I let my Kubota tractor/tiller loose in the garden some new...

Good morning to you all, and good to see some familiar faces. I don't post much, but read a lot just for fun. Since we've had so much late summer rain, the mowing of my place and trailering to my Son's place has kept me busy along with other stuff. Glad to be able to do it however. May you...

Hi TBN'er, I'm about to take off the Hydraulic Surge Brakes and install an Electric Brake system. It's on a two axle (3,500 each) equipment hauler. I have a couple questions and would also appreciate any additional tips. The trailer wasn't used all that much in the 15 years that I have...

Good Morning All. Waking up at anytime is a blessing, even though I'm stiff. Loving outdoors and working hard each day has kept me fit, but I still get so stiff each morning that I wonder if I missed my own funeral. May the Lord so bless each of you this day.:thumbsup:

Again, out of the clear blue, a wheel locked up without warning. Another tire ruined and a PITA. After 15 years of dealing with this random failure and ruined tires and service bills, I'd like to change the whole thing over to disc brakes. What do you all think? Is it possible? I can ask...

Anybody got any ideas on how to stabilize a drawbar on a 3 pt Quick Hitch. Such locks are available for direct connection to the lift arms, but I'd like to leave the QH on. Cheers, Mike

Except for RONH, we all have something in common......crappy weather. But "Hey", that's what tractor are for. Thanks for the cheers.:cool:

Good morning to y'all TBN'ers. New to this thread. 6 deg here and staying that way till later in the week. Couple inches snow yesterday. This morning will make the last trip to physical therapy for locked-up shoulder problem. The PT really worked for me. Sometimes I wish that I could go...

The FEL on the Kubota B2620 seemed really slow compared to its usual response. It worked okay moving the deep snow, but I'm wondering if hydraulics work slower at these low temps. I ran the machine for about 4 hours, operating at about 2000 rpm or less. I figure the tractor was as warm as...

My 20 cal (5MM) pellet rifle will not hold pressure any more. I can't see anything obvious to repair without taking it apart. Anybody have some ideas on a fix? I'd kinda like to know where I'm going with the fix before taking it apart. It is aBenjamin- Sheridan Blue Streak CB9. It is a...

After two seasons of MMM mowing with the stock R4 tires, I'm wondering if switching to a set of Turf tires (just for the front) would be easier on my lawn area around the house. Usually I mow without any other attachments on and only in two wheel drive. But turns still tear up the sod even at...

I just bought a new battery for a 18 HP Onan twin Garden tractor. The battery that came out was 235 CCA, but the one I bought is 275 CCA. Would that extra CCA do any harm to the electricals in the tractor? Cheers, Mike

Well, it took longer to post these pictures than it did to drain the fluid. Apparently I was not suppose to remove the bolt at the base of the HST filter (the one with the spring and ball). So I stand corrected.....I did not follow the OE manual. Thus it looks like the bolt at the base of...

Okay so I tried the "Search Function". Forget that. In draining the HST filter oil outlet and the Hydraulic filter oil outlet, I get only 2 gallons. The book specifies the capacity as 4 gallons. So I looked for the other elusive drain plugs in the rear end. Let's see??? It looks like...

Since I traded my BX (60 in MMM) for a B with a 60 inch MMM, I saved the spare set of BX blades to use on the B. They are identical except for the center hole. I took the blades to a local welding shop, and the owner said "Sure Thing" to drill a new hole to fit the Kubota B2620 deck. Well...

Is it normal to bill a customer immediately for a product even though it will be 2-3 weeks before the product is even built? Having agreed on the estimated shipping/delivery time, I didn't expect that my credit card would be billed immediately! I'm disappointed.

I just drained the gear box on my MMM (Kubota 60 inch). The manual calls for SAE 90 API GL-5 year 'round. But all I have is 80W-90 gear oil GL-5. Is there really any differance that matters? I can buy some straight 90 later this week, but would like to get this finished ASAP. Thanks...

I came across this seat cover in another thread on TBN. Note that the SMV bracket holds the cover in place. My issue wasn't heat so much as ripping the Kubota cover with a tool in my back pocket. But Locoweed's new seat looks nicer. But this cover only cost about $25 with S/H.

It's snowing now.....was 83 deg yesterday.....when I planted more strawberries... It's 33 deg now and snowing like crazy.....Go figure.:thumbdown:

This my first experience with a PTO tiller. I find it an unwieldy piece of equipment to manage. My questions are: 1. It came with the skid shoes on a low setting such that it sets on its row of tines. It seems to me that it should be setting on its skid shoes when stored, viz. with the...

I only took an hour for this old geezer to attach this picture.:o

:confused2:Notice! There is no warning on the ROPS that tells one to wear a hard hat when working around a ROPS that is in the folded position. And furthermore, when letting the ROPS down to enter a low garage height the ROPS can fall and hit your noggin and knock one silly. So if some of my...

Here in eastern Kansas, where I live there has been no appreciable rain since early June. So far since yesterday afternoon I have received over 5 inches (my gauge only goes to 5). After walking around the acres and viewing the barren parts of the garden, there is no standing water. The earth...

Has anybody had some experience buying products form Bucket Solutions company? I'd like to give them a try for some pallet forks. Their clamp-ons look pretty stout and I might give them a try. I'm getting tired of my pin-ons, although they are quite capable and efficient, getting them on, or...

Good bye BX........Hello B. I just traded my BX 2660 for a B2620 with FEL and MMM. The price was okay with Kubota rebates and the tractor looks well assembled, all fluids in range and tire pressure okay. But the FEL measures about 3/4 inch lower on one side vs the other at the front of the...

Here' one of Ken's Bolt-On Hooks on my Pallet Forks

Wow! That was the first time I posted a picture. It worked! Now all I got to do is learn how to weld. ,....and count.....It looks like I used four extra sets of spacers...and a set inside the bucket for a backing washer.

This is a utility trailer.....4 x 8.....single axle....no brakes. I mounted a new 4.80-8 tire on an old wheel for a spare. I used a "Syl-Glide" paste silicone lubricant on the bead and rim flanges. But then I read the new tire label that said , "never us a silicone to lubricate the bead and...

Is tire sealant like a Slime type product okay to use in a little 4.80/400-8 Load Range B tire? I'm rebuilding a rusty old 4 x 8 trailer and will mount new tires. This could be used (by me or family members) on local busy streets at speeds up to 55 mph as well as maybe hauling brush around my...

I'm new at plowing, but here is my experience. I am using a Kubota BX2660, a Leinbach 12 inch moldboard single plow, and turf tires. The summer was dry but we had some nice rain in Nov-Dec so the rich ground was moist but not too wet. The temperatures have been above normal. ..around 50...

Works here, too.

In a 24 x 24 attached garage (9 ft ceiling) would the Mr Heater Big Buddy propane do me any good? It's 25 deg F in the garage today and I'd like to get a little more comfortable out there. Old age is making these chores less and less desireable under these conditions. Any comments would be...

I just mounted four new trailer tires. And then it occured that I didn't ask for balancing. Usually I'm hauling around 2-3 tons of rock, or gravel at less than 55 mph. They weren't balanced before and seemed to ride okay. Thanks y'all. Mike

Should the check chains be set snug or tight or loose when the various attachments are used? Or does it vary with the implement or conditions? a. Rear Blade b. Plow c. Boom Pole d. CarryAll But right now, I'm going to be pulling a small wagon (4 wheels) with some kids on a...

Having just replaced the two flexible hydraulic lines to the drum brakes, I'm having a problem bleeding the system. The master cylinder is full and the trailer emergency brake is off on this two axle rig. Shouldn't the fluid keep coming thru each bleeder valve as one goes to each one? All I...

While backing with a 2 ton load on, the RF wheel locked up on my tandem 12 ft trailer. I thought that it would break loose when I got back on the road. But it is really stuck and ruined the tire in that effort. Now I can't get the hub off to check out the problem. It has surge brakes and...

:o The search function is great. I've learned quite a bit there, but there is a problem. In looking for a certain subject, I find so many other interesting threads that I forget what I was searching for.:o:D

I've searched for hours but can't find anything about the red button that is behind the 3 point top link mounting. Sorry, no camera. What's it do? I'm afraid to push it without knowing.:confused2:

When there is no zerk on a metal to metal surface such as MMM deck hangers, mounting bracket, mounting links etc., should one apply grease to these surfaces? Or should one leave them dry. It seems to me that external grease just attracts dirt/grit that is more harmful that a dry friction...

I have just noticed some scratches on the lower part of the seat back. The coveralls that I wear in snow don't have such rivets. Thus my recent work wearing bibs must be the cause. The bibs have rivets in the back pockets and where the tool loops are attached. Although the rivets are...

Boy would I like to run a single plow with my BX2660. I think it has enough power, but it sits so dang low. My garden needs to be turned over, especially in the fall. I've only had a walk behind rototiller for the past 35 years and that's getting to be a lot of work for this old man.:o Do...

I tried to get the particulars after hearing it on the radio, but never got more details. Apparently a farmer was killed a few days ago, when a round bale on the 3 point spear fell on him. The reporter said they think that the hydraulics failed when he was under it. Bad luck can kill one...

:(I've had it with hammer loops on work pants. They never hold the hammer and the real rant is that they catch on everything else. Several times I've just about busted my bippy when one catches on the tractor controls that are mounted on the fenders. Today when sliding out of the seat this...

:(:(I mangled the last one of the bleeder valves (tandem axle) while flushing the lines with clean DOT3. I can't get it to turn now, for sure. I tried every gripping device in my tool box. But every tool ( vise grips etc ) just slips around. My grip is weak anyway. So.....what now? I'm...

I'm doing some major maintenance on my 10 year old trailer. Was going to flush the old brake fluid and replace it. But I noticed that there are two hydraulic hoses, one to each axle. At this age should those hoses be replaced? It's probably not that expensive, but just another delay in...

Which type of brakes on a 12 ft, tandem wheel, 2,200 lbs trailer would be the good, better, best? I have used this trailer for about ten years with no problems. OE it came with surge brakes. It is not used that much, like I'm not in a business. Occasionaly I'll haul 3 tons (max) of gravel...

:thumbsup:Just so Tractorbynet gets credit...I bought a BX Compact Pallet Fork set over the phone. But it was this site that steered me to Everything's product. The forks promptly came in as priced and fit my BX2660 perfectly. I've tried them out moving some implements etc., and they work great.

If i have logged in and am composing a thread or response, how come when I get to the "Submit" part it says that I am not logged in? This has happened several times. I think kinda slow and deliberate to make a concise comment or thread. This is really getting to me. Is there a time limit...

:( Let's see...Tractor...FEL...MMM...BB...and now 3 point hitch...Ballast Box...Pallet Forks...Magnetic Block Heater...Tooth Bar...HST Fan Guard... Backup Fluids/Filters/Oils and extra metric size tools..... Did I leave anything out? Boy is that bait for an answer. I'm going to ban...

My new Rhino 200 rear blade only touches a flat surface at its tips. Thus when scraping snow off a driveway or even dirt grading the outer edges dig in and the center part is about 3/8 " off the surface. Is this a defect in the product and can the dealer correct it?:( I dismantled the blade...

This has happened before.....I dully log in and am recognized by the board. Then as I compose a response, which takes maybe 3-4 minutes with some forethought, I find that the site says that I'm not logged in. What gives? This waste of time annoys me and discourages participation...

My BX2660 owners manual says it comes with Super UDT in the front axle. But it says that 80W-90 could also be used. That's confusing to me. Although the maintenance schedule didn't call for a check, I pulled that plug (boy is it hard to get out), and the fluid didn't even reach the stick...
