I am looking for experienced opinions on using a Wright Fence Mower LLC Model FM30 (www.fencemower.com) for trimming next to a horse wire mesh fence around a 5-acre horse pasture. The mesh goes all the way to the ground, so no mowing under it, and need to mow on both sides of fence. The fence...

Since most Caroni flail owners on TBN have TMs, I thought there might be interest in my initial observations on the smaller TL-Series, on a smaller CUT. My Caroni is a TL1500FSC, received 4/1/11, at a price of $1,756.35 including delivery to ZIP 48732 in Michigan. I just finished mowing my 5...

First, let me say that I love my TuffTop canopy. I certainly would not want to be without it! My TUFFTOP is a Model XL-52 that I bought new on 6/5/06. The canopy is mounted on a Kubota B7500HSD with rigid ROPS. Recently, I began having difficulty with the top staying square, that is, the right...

Has anyone used the BXPANDED Quick-On bucket hooks on a B7500 or other B-Series tractor bucket? I sure would like to add two grab hooks and one slip hook to my bucket. Harry at BXPanded has told me that looking into the B buckets is on their list of things-to-do, but obviously they have been...

OK, I think I have read every flail mower post on TBN. So now, I want a Caroni TL1500ASC for cutting my pasture and meadow. I am even ready to spend the money. But, I am not sure my tractor can handle the TL1500. My tractor is at the low end of the recommended tractor (engine) HP which is...

Am I the only one who is "Leaf Lazy"? I don't like raking leaves in the fall. And I really don't like picking leaves up and transporting them for disposal. My lawn is about two acres with over twenty trees, and I finish mow another acre of narrow lanes that are bordered by several hundred...

The operator's manual for my B7500 specifies replacing the secondary (inner) air cleaner element every year. I have changed it every 200 hours (12-15 months) since I bought the tractor new. I have not seen any trace of soiling on any of the three secondary elements that I have replaced. In a...

I just finished the 750 hour service on my 2003 B7500. So far, I have been able to do all the service myself. The 800 hour service requirement includes adjustment of engine valve clearance. The manual says, "Consult your local KUBOTA dealer for this service." I have never adjusted valves on any...

This is a new one for me. I have a freeze-proof hydrant in the barn. Its been in operation since 1994, and except for one freeze-up when I forgot to unhook a hose, it has worked without any problems. Two nights ago, I noticed that it was whistling while shut off. It was faint, steady and sounded...

In the past, I always parked (that is, detached) my rear blade with the concave side of the moldboard toward the rear of the tractor. However, I found that my new Woods RB72 with parking stand and skid shoes was a little tippy when it was detached from the tractor, with the concave side toward...
