My 1997 4x4 GMC 2500 Suburban with 454V-8, pulls my 14K trailer with L48 TLB aboard (7700 lbs. book wt.). I did add an air lift suspension kit. I weigh before any use, and have a personal limit of 12,000 lbs. My empty trailer weighs 3,500 lbs. Total towed weight= 11,200, plus added thumb, and...

Congratulations! That's two now? Going for a dozen?

DITTO !!!

I did that too! Can't figure out how to do that now. Now must "wait 23 seconds" before posting this response. What a great "improvement" this system is ! Now says:" Oops try again later" A total disaster!

I did that too! Can't figure out how to do that now.

I did not see the TBN "truck" as anywhere close to breaking down. To the contrary, it seemed to be running quite smoothly! Replacing it with a problem plagued Tier IV "truck" is a better idea? Many of us don't want ANY Tier IV chit!

It is that way,...every day! Been there....done that, many times.

You would be making a BIG (and expensive) mistake!

Hopefully.......DUAL cup holders!

If you buy a GOOD machine, it will be easy to sell that good machine, when you want to upgrade.

Not to worry! All these issues will be worked out in year or two!

You should check out : www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com. Paul Short, in Bay Roberts, Nfld. makes a really nice Kubota diff. lock pedal mod. I recently bought a new, and much improved design Kubota step from him. A quality modification, wider and lower step.

Please enter your location in your profile, it may help one of us to help you.

I don't see the layout as being anywhere near "similar".

The Kubota L39 is a DEDICATED TLB, and a great machine! If you want a TRUE TLB only Kubota makes/sells that! I have a 2006 Kubota L48 TLB, which is no longer made, but is an amazing machine. Kubota also currently makes the L47 TLB, and the M62 TLB, but they are both quite pricey. TBN member...

Screwing up a tried and true website is an "improvement"? To quote Joseph Goebbels, "if you tell a lie big enough, and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it"

From the Tractor Data numbers you post, your tractor is definitely a 1966 build. Headlights may have been modified.

"My Home" was a LOT more handy!

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! A very easy to use website has now officially become a mixed up mess!

" MY HOME" is back? Where?

What happened to "home"? Can't seem to find it!

FTG-05....don't hold your breath, while waiting for you theory to come to fruition!

I have the EA 6 Way Deluxe Scrape Blade. I have two other brand blades purchased previously. The EA blade is VASTLY superior! My other two blades are going on Craigslist.

This is a mystery all about hot water (or lack thereof). I have a 50 gallon water heater that I assumed had an element, or thermostat problem. I have drained the heater, replaced the elements, and replaced the upper thermostat. My problem is, that when I select the hot...

YEP......so true !!!

Yep.......he says it right! I have their EA forks. Well worth the $$$$.

Clamp on forks are a PITA. If your Mahindra has Q/A, buy a set of real forks. Life will be easy, and you will be happy. I have real ETA Q/A forks, and cheap clamp on things, but for two different tractors. I NEVER use the clamp on things that bend buckets!

Maybe this post should be titled "self flagellation". I turned 80 last week! Today, I ordered myself a birthday/Christmas present. A root rake grapple! I seriously doubt that any 80 year old NEEDS a grapple! Nothing fancy. Not expensive. Why.....because I have wanted one for a long while, and...

With the current flight from cities to somewhat rural areas, there just might be a long term market.

I have found OEM Kubota not diluted coolant for a fair price at Coleman Equipment..... $29.78 plus shipping. Tried to delete this title/post, but couldn't make it happen. Sorry, for the now nuisance post!

8-10 hours seems about right. A friend helped me (I actually helped him) put a clutch in my Ford 1920, and we did it in 9 hours. I had never done a clutch in anything before, he had the knowledge. I...

Such a shame! Unfortunately, the JD 110 TLB series is noted for this issue. Other than a somewhat questionable welding fix, it will likely be prohibitively expensive to do a proper replacement/repair.

The JD 110 TLB, and the Kubota L48 share similar vintage. Machinery Trader shows 3 - L48s for sale, and 19 - JD110s. As a rough comparison, did JD make/sell approximately 6 times more JD110s than Kubota made L48s?

When I bought my 250 hour L48 TLB 14 months ago, the (original) owner told me that the hydraulic fluid had been (dealer) changed at 200 hours. I have messed around with moving hose locations on the hoe, and have lost a small amount of fluid. I will buy SUDT-2 just to have some on hand...

I have 2 cases of Phillips X/C 20W-50 aviation oil (I sold my twin Comanche many years ago) My new SCAG 21HP Kawasaki FR651V powered mower calls for 20W-50 motor oil to be used in the transmission. I am wondering if I can use the 20W-50 Phillips aviation engine oil in both the Kawasaki FR651V...

My 1989 Ford 1920 hitch leaks down quite soon after engine shutdown. Changing the position of the control knob under front edge of seat makes no difference. What is my best (easiest) course of action to fix this? Is there a rebuild kit for this?

Well....here is the "old Guy" that Peter315 is referring to. I bought an L48 TLB last June on Little Deer Isle, Me. A 2006 edition with 250.9 original owner hours. I had a 1970 Ford 3400 TLB for the 33...

I actually did not loose money with the airplane, or the boat. I took a nasty bath from the nasty ex though!

I would like to determine the 2006 original cost of my Kubota L48 TLB. I am trying to estimate the depreciation ---just for fun. Mine has a few handy gadgets. In addition to the standard Kubota quick attach loader bucket it has the following: 3rd function,..... +...

I am considering a root rake/grapple. It will not be used for commercial purposes, and I have absolutely zero rocks in my area. I want a full width (66") single lid root rake/grapple. The EA root rake/grapples, while I am sure they are wonderful, cost well in excess of what I am...

I replaced my old forks with a brand new set of the EA forks. They are FIRST CLASS ........like everything EA makes!

I thank both you and Travis for your posts.

This is all really very strange to me. I have bought 2 EA items and have been totally satisfied with them. Seems like most here have not even a clue how this all began. My compliant was...

Cat_Driver I sent you a PM

I sent you a PM

Surely, you should be able to figure that one out!

Re: I was attacked by EA staff and customer fan base - You Tube It certainly is a loooong and overly drawn out story, that probably could have been told in under 10 minutes. That said: The guy certainly makes some very valid points,........ he will likely now receive...

That is a mean looking looking tooth bar! How much in (approx.) 72" length?

Oh.....yet another insulting "little girl" name caller! .......Just earned the #2 position on the ignore list!

Appreciate that!

I am not stupid! I read, and understood the terms, before I bought from EA....both times! My point, that you and others have obviously missed, is that it CAN be done differently, to make for a better/ more convenient...

You have obviously never bought anything from Everything Attachments.

"Crying like a little girl" Yup, some "little girl" here...... Thanks for the insult! This former US Naval Aviator.....is no "little girl". Carrier...

"whining and griping".....about a less than convenient delivery process? Would you hook up your trailer, and drive somewhere,...... to pick up your UPS/Amazon packages?

If you had to hook up your trailer, drive 8 miles, then winch a pallet (using steel pipe as rollers) onto the trailer, then drive back home, and then unload the pallet,.... you would not find that an unnecessary inconvenience? Oh..... but of course, I could have...

Good point! I recently bought forks from EA. Had to be shipped to a business (friend), that inconveniently for me, was 8 miles away. Business has no loading dock, and no way to unload. I then had to winch the pallet onto my...

"A loading dock isn't a requirement, if the customer has other means of offloading" Really???? I was told that items cannot be delivered directly to me. I mentioned that I could offload with my Kubota L48...

PERFECT !!!!!

Of course he did!

I think way too many folks are focused on instant gratification. An 8-10 week wait, for a quality piece of equipment that will last a lifetime, is not a problem for me.

VERY WELL PUT !!!

I am a TOTAL fan of Messicks! In my opinion, they can do no wrong! Last week I ordered a very thin (soft cover) parts manual, a 4" square muffler gasket, and two very small foam pads. Total shipping weight including box, .....less than two pounds, shipped to zone 1 from...

It was my dad's Anyone interested? Listed on E-Bay ....323921891127

Want to add India? ......anyone ????

^^^^^^ agreed!

"Titan is eating the extra cost to deliver to a residential address". BINGO!

Thank you! You are very understanding, and kind!

Woe is me! If only..... in my nearly 79 years on this earth, my knowledge could equal yours. BTW: My "NITPICKED" Ford sold for $9000, when others said, it WOULD NOT BE DONE! Your Ford point is.....????

"sounds like I am joining a cult" EXACTLY!

You should ignore all logic, with regard to EA business practices! EA buyers will categorically reject any type of constructive criticism. By expressing your situation/opinion here, you will now and forever, be...

Well...... here is a little more information. EA "free shipping" is either to the nearest "freight terminal",(100 miles away) or to a "local business". The "local business" I...

My "basic understanding of how shipping costing works" is: Titan advertises FREE shipping (with lift gate) to a residence ANYWHERE in the USA, but EA will not do the same, even within 1000 miles of Conover, NC.? To me, it...

I agree with your observation......I don't like it either. That said: They did tell me they would charge half when I ordered, and the other half when they ship, if I preferred that. Recently, I was only ordering an $889 set of forks, so I paid all up...

I have a little Prince 3 spool remote valve assembly (MB31BBB5C1) on my Kubota L48. Each of the valve levers has a rubber dust/dirt protective boot that has dry rotted away. I called a Prince distributor (Bangor,Me.) and they called Prince, who said those rubber protective boots are not...

My new EA 42" Extreme Skid Steer & Pallet forks were delivered today. Very nice! I had considered buying the comparable looking Titan forks for $84 less, but just could not convince myself to do it. Am very happy that I did not.

On 7/13 I posted - MY 3400 FORD TRACTOR/LOADER/BACKHOE is FOR SALE (thread now closed) I had listed the machine on E-Bay for a 10 day auction with a reserve price not shown. The comments here on TBN came fast and furious......a total of 275 posts! The hands down winner for...

Two weeks ago I picked up a 2006 Kubota L48 TLB with only 250 hours. The machine has been outside for 13 years, and is generally in excellent condition, except for the seat. I called Messick's, and they want $698 + shipping for an OEM seat. THAT is NOT the seat for me...

I have my dad's VW Rabbit diesel pickup (60 K miles) that has been in dry storage for 27 years. It is in fantastic condition, and on blocks, but I would like to get it running to sell. I have just ordered a new battery (group 41 is hard to find), but I do not want to just put the...

I just agreed to purchase a 2006 Kubota L48 TLB from a private party,.... original owner. The machine has 250 hours.(average 19.2 hours per yr.) Has 3 rear remotes, plus one front remote with a splitter. Has skid steer loader bucket with hydraulically operated...

Does anyone here have a Greenworks 40V saw with 16" bar? I went to look at the Stihl 16" battery saw, but it has a 1/4" chain. I want a 3/8" chain, so am looking at the Greenworks (China) brand. No anti China comments please, just asking for Greenworks quality/usefulness - personal experience info.

Well said!

The TAURUS G2c is on sale (plus $25 rebate) at Rural King thru April 13th. I bought one yesterday (4/8) at RK in Zephyrhills, Fl. Total cost: $179.99 + $12.60 tax, - $25 mail in rebate = net: $167.59 A UNBELIEVABLE price for a (12+1) 9mm handgun with 2 magazines. It has...

Maybe that high shipping cost is because you are close to the Arctic circle.

I have a, new to me, 2011 Nissan forklift that will not accept grease in one zerk. I have removed the zerk, and attached it to my grease gun, and grease flows readily. The zerk is located in the end of a pin, and fills the pin completely with grease...

Facebook is the 21st century version of writing on the S**T house wall.

It has been 40 years since I have had bees (I am an old guy), but I am about to play with them again. The local bee population has been very low, and the lack of fruit and berries was particularly obvious this year. It is about to be winter here in the Northeast though, so this is certainly not...

I have a 1989 Ford 1920 that does not have any remotes. I would like to add a two spool valve assy., but cannot seem to make an after market adapter plate work. I bought a nice looking ($96) aluminum aftermarket (specifically advertised as fitting the 1920) adapter plate that attaches to the...

I would like to add a tilt function to my ford 1920 3pt hitch, What cylinder should I use (approx. 16" retracted x 24" extended)? Is there a direct fit available (with proper ends)? What would be a suitable 2 spool valve (might add top function later). Functionality is primary, but overall cost...

Caustic response noted! I am a marketplace realist.

If ETA needs to raise their prices, I am certain they will do so. How could they possibly offer any sort of "real guess", when they currently have absolutely no idea what the real world conditions may be?

And .....that is precisely WHY the tariffs are needed. To bring our steel into the marketplace at a price level with imported steel. We need to produce our own products.... made in the USA...steel included. If it costs...

Agreed! The 25% price increase will be for foreign made steel. So..... do you not think that US steel manufacturers will raise their prices to match those of imported steel? I certainly do...

Why would you even think that EA will increase attachment prices 25%? Do you really expect ETA's labor/assembly, shipping costs, and overhead, to ALL also increase by 25%. Current US made steel cost, is about $800 per...

The perfect way to bend/destroy the top stiffener of a loader bucket?

Oh...my...oh...my !!! Better terminate this sort of discussion,..... before Travis decides to get nasty again.

My 1989 Ford 1920 4x4 FEL has almost 1100 hours, and I would like to either replace the injectors, or have them rebuilt. Messick's wants $141+ per new injector. Rebuilding might cost $300 for all 4. New Chinese made...

"One snippet of information" was actually a phone call to Travis at the time I was interested in ordering from EA. Travis told me $75 extra for home delivery, plus $125 for lift gate (he seems to have a different view on that now)...

Perhaps you "CAN" ship it for much less that $200, but $200 EXTRA was what YOU quoted me when I inquired! THAT is the ONLY REASON I opted for another implement source!

You have completely obscured the issue! The issue is about "FREE SHIPPING", when the cost of "FREE SHIPPING", as defined by EA would have been $200. It may not matter to you, but time and mileage (it is not JUST gas)...

OK...then you need to pay careful attention to this! The "someone else" you refer to, is a licensed common carrier, that may make as many as 30 or 40 deliveries to the same general area each day. If they are collecting $75 for each delivery (plus a $125 lift gate...

No further definition of "FREE SHIPPING" desired!

"best options for shipping"? $75 extra for delivery by common carrier, with same truck, out with various other deliveries, from same shipping terminal 85 miles away. $125 extra for lift gate (required for home delivery)...

From the tone of your post, I also assume that you opt to accurately advertise your business products, and their delivery costs. THAT is an EXCELLENT business practice!

I love your logic Travis! "Flawed assumptions" What replacement vehicle, at what cost, would you suggest that I buy for 2000 mi. yearly usage? I am not "bashing" EA built equipment...

Lots of flawed assumptions here!

"Uninformed usage"??? Really ??? Tow vehicle is a pristine, 20 year old K2500 4x4 Suburban, with 454 V-8 in a hilly area, often in very slow traffic. Your suggestions please, on how...

"Very clear".... is a poor choice of words, with respect to "free shipping".

I live INSIDE the 1000 mile radius. EA shipping is "free" to the nearest shipping terminal. My nearest shipping terminal is INSIDE the continental US, and is 85 miles away, or 170 miles round trip...

I would like to remove the steering wheel from my Ford 1920. I DO NOT want to damage the wheel, as I will be reinstalling it. My reason for removal is that it will save me $175 in ferry costs, by keeping my overall height for transport to just under 7'. I will also remove...

I have a 1988 Ford 1920 that I had refurbished in 2015. It had 1050 hours then, and has 1063 now. I decided to have a new (aftermarket) clutch installed, because I had an idea that the loader had been used a lot. The tractor has never spent a night outside, since I have owned it, and it had the...

I would like to have some ideas for food plot seed varieties for very sandy soil in Southern New England. The soil is thin sandy loam on the surface, and pure sand 16" below. I would like to plant a 2+ acre food plot, with a crop that will produce a developed seed head, not be over...

48" Tillovator with 4" offset, over on the Agri-Supply website, has great reviews, and a great price.

YES !!! We DID go over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct..... a VERY interesting/beautiful experience. The canal boat experience is TOTALLY relaxing! We tied alongside a wall each evening, and walked to a...

Your area is wonderful! We spent a week, several years ago, in the Shropshire-Union canal system. Picked up our boat (rental) at Wrenbury Mill. Saw mostly cows, but.... perhaps some of your sheep too...

I do not have rear remotes, and even if I did, I might not spend the money for a hydraulic top link. The "Hydraulink" may be just the ticket for me! I need to be able to adjust the tilt/cutting angle of my 3pt. forks/rear blade/box blade/tiller/bush hog etc. from the tractor seat...

I have repeatedly read that the slowest gear on an 8N is too fast for a tiller. I have a 60" tiller for use on my Ford 1920, and am wondering if I could also use the tiller on my particular 8N. My 8N (1951) has a Sherman combo transmission, so 1st gear in the Sherman low position is...

Does anyone know where to buy a ratcheting Cat l top link, with the standard ball type ends? They are manufactured by Sparex, but apparently only sold in England. I have a Cat ll ratcheting top link, but it is Cat ll, and it has clevis ends. I am now thinking about cutting the clevis ends off my...

A year ago I bought a 1988 Ford 1920 FEL 4x4 with 1056 hours. This past summer I took it up to Nova Scotia for a thorough refurbishing. We did the work in a friend's shop there. Tractor probably did not need a new clutch, but figured...

I have a 1988 Ford 1920 that does not have a hydraulic remote, and I would very much like to have one. I understand that there is a "Hydraulic Adapter Plate" available for the Ford 1920. Is that what I need so that I can plumb in a remote valve? Where does that adapter plate attach? I...

I have a Ford 3400 TLB, and would like to know the weight of the hoe itself. From Tractordata.com I get a weight for the bare tractor of 3723 lbs. They also give a weight of 1431 lbs. for the loader, but I cannot find a weight ANYWHERE for the hoe with subframe, and stabilizers. The hoe is a...

I am trying to decide what the best/cost effective LIQUID tire ballast is for my Ford 1920 4x4. I will NOT use calcium chloride under any circumstances!!!!CORROSION !!!! Beet juice sounds like a great idea, but the cost for TWO tires: $3.23 x 80 gal (40gal. ea.).= $258.40...

Last October I bought a 1988 Ford 1920 4x4 FEL with 1067 hours. It had 14.9 x 24 R-1 rear tires, but the rims were shot (calcium chloride). I bought new rims, and new 13.6 x 24 R-1 tires as a better choice for use with my new 60" wide King Kutter tiller. My original fronts are 8 x 16 R-1s as I...
