    R1/Ag Tires are almost always 4-ply tires. The flexibility of 4-ply construction adds to tractor traction. R4/Industrial Tires are almost always at least 6-ply tires. If you buy a premium price tractor front R4/industrial tires are pretty often 10-ply tires from factory. R4/Industrial tires...

    Box Blade Sizing for Kubota L3901

    Research first. Pound-for-pound counterbalance on the Three Point Hitch is much more effective than liquid filled tires due to leverage, for FEL work. With loaded R1/ag tires you will NOT be able to traverse your eventual lawn without rutting. None of my three tractors have had loaded tires...

    Box Blade Sizing for Kubota L3901

    As you know, there is no hydraulic down pressure applied to the Three Point Hitch. Therefore, the heaviest Box Blade weight per unit of Box Blade width will give best penetration and skiveing ability. For standard Box Blades this is usually around 80 pounds per foot of width. For Rollover...

    Help Identifying A Couple 3-Point Implements!

    Entirely possible, even likely. However, supplemental weight would be more effective located over the front row of pans which are notched for cutting/penetration, rather than the rear row of pans, which are smooth, therefore tend to roll rather than displace soil.

    Looking to buy my first tractor

    When considering a tractor purchase bare tractor weight first, tractor horsepower second, rear axle width third, rear wheel/tire ballast fourth. Above are important considerations. I would prefer the tractor not need DEF because of the added complexity. From what I’ve heard they can be...

    Looking to buy my first tractor

    Brand? Models to look at or avoid? Buy new or used? The design of the Three Point Hitch tractor has been marketed in the USA since 1939 -- 83 years in 2022. The basic design is generic. Kubota and Deere have most of the market through 6,000 pound bare weight tractors. But this Kubota/Deere...

    Looking to buy my first tractor

    The fundamental importance of TRACTOR WEIGHT eludes many tractor shoppers. Tractor capability is more closely correlated to tractor weight than any other single (1) specification. The most efficient way to shop for tractors is to first identify potential tractor applications, then, through...

    Eradicating rocks before tilling

    Red_Ranger I guess I should specify a more on these rocks. I’m not talking softball sized rocks, I’m talking 2 plus footers. YANMAR SA425 Lift Capacity (Pivot Pin) lb. (kg) 1,200 (545) Stone Fork weight is around 450 pounds. Therefore, Stone Fork payload in theory could be 750 pounds...

    Eradicating rocks before tilling

    Yanmar SA 425 is an 1,830 pound, under 25-horsepower tractor. Not enough tractor weight, not enough power to pull a Disk Harrow of effective weight. I suggest a Middlebuster, AKA Potato Plow, with replaceable plow blades. Ample for a one (1) acre food plot. Relatively cheap, low draft...

    Advice on tractor for 7.5 acres - Mowing pasture and general use - L3902? What flail mower?

    Most tractors under 3,000 pounds bare weight operate in residential or hobby farm applications on one to ten flat acres. FEL for general use and compost turning. We seem to generate 2-3 cubic yards of yard waste per month (more in the growing season) and no way to turn compost etc. Kubota...

    Advice on tractor for 7.5 acres - Mowing pasture and general use - L3902? What flail mower?

    As some of the work is on a hill, wheel spacers and filled tires are a must. Mowing the pasture 4-8 times per year. A Kubota L3902 will be adequate with wheel spacers. An MX5400 might price out favorably relative to a L3902 and give you much more tractor, specifically adjustable rear wheel...

    Anyone plant with a HST?

    Only small garden stuff. 2 row JD 71 planters. Two row Covington cultivators. 84” rotoriller. 7’ hardee disk. Everyonce in while 3 bottom plow. Two acres max. Deer food plots maybe 5ac. For seven acres an MX for sure.

    rk 55 acting like battery is dead when starting

    The cause of your problem is likely corrosion under the battery clamps, which you can remove with a stiff wire brush. Corrosion can decrease voltage to the starter by .25 to 1.0 volts.

    Have a quality welding shop shorten the ROPS of your next (standard) tractor. I had 4" removed from the ROPS of my L3560 before it could pass under my 84" garage header with the ROPS folded.

    Thanks for the replies. I ordered some 25x10-12 kenda k299 tires 6 ply "rated". I'm hoping for a flatter contact patch but I'm not too picky as long as they have traction. 25x10-12 KENDA K299 BEARCLAW MUD SNOW ATV UTV TIRES (SET OF 2) 25-10-12 25x10x12...

    Will narrower tires than stock flatten out?

    How much shape your tires retain will be a factor of the ply-rating of the tire and its inflation factor. Four plies compliant. Six+ plies stiff. I doubt if you will notice any 'real world' difference. I'd like more aggressive tires than turfs. 23x10.50-12 tires on eBay...

    Need to buy a new tractor as fencing contractor

    The primary factor affecting stability on hills is rear wheel/tire spread. Some models have readily adjustable wheel/tires spreads, some require after-market wheel spacers. Secondary is tractor ground clearance. Third is tractor ballast, liquid in the rear tires rather than air, the most...
