    Late 2017 Steel Prices

    I just got quote on some steel for a project I am quoting on ... wow ... One quote is from a supplier I have used almost exclusively in the past, the other was from an outfit I've never used before but have repeatedly seen their monthly ads on CL, where they usually post a list of about 50 - 60...

    Need a small amount of machining done

    We have a Kubota B2910 which has a single adjustable, ratcheting side link. This thing has broken on me twice now ... largely because Kubota chose to make one of the component parts out of inferior cast metal. Unfortunately, Kubota does not offer the single part that breaks as a separate item...

    LPGS For Kubota B2910

    Time to start thinking about the design for the next build and am looking for input from the TBN Brain Trust. I know longer/wider is better for these things ... but I also know that there is a limit to what our little tractor will pull (30 hp gross, 22 hp PTO, around 1700 lbs for the basic...

    Supplying water to outbuildings

    I'm in the process of getting water hooked up to a couple of outbuildings and have a question about installing a check valve. Here's the setup: The source is our home water supply, and I believe we have a 1" line coming into the house from the well pump. That is plumbed into a pressure tank...

    Kubota B2910 Repairs/Upgrades/Customization

    After serving us faithfully for around ten or so years, I've decided to give the B2910 a little well-deserved TLC, do some minor repairs and cosmetic maintenance, and add a few things that will provide some additional functionality and creature comforts. Here's the list: 1. Fab new bracket for...

    Repainting over original factory finish ...

    As part of my relocating my rear remotes and sprucing up the B2910 generally, I plan to repaint the ROPS ... which has gotten banged up over the last ten years or so. There are quite a few (little) spots where the original paint is completely gone and are now rusted ... and the original paint...

    Logsplitter 2.0

    Back around ten or so years ago - before we got free gas - I was planning to heat with wood and I started to build a log splitter. Was going to be a three point mount for the tractor ... but powered by a (relatively new) 6.5 BS Intek engine I had from an old leaf vac. Pretty much got all the...

    YAJCMT: Yet Another Jinma Chipper Modification Thread

    I bought one of these a number of years ago ... didn't really do anything as far as setting it up beyond the basic assembly of the unit. It performed relatively well initially ... aside from the normal stuff like the wobble-joint on the feed roller drive shaft and the feed roller drive belt...

    Ballast Block For Kubota B2910

    Decided it would be handy to have something a little more substantial and a little more compact than my Woods box blade for ballast ... so I decided to pour a concrete ballast block. The dimensions are 22" (wide) x 24" (long) x 28" tall. With the steel used for the 3PH and rebar cage I figure...

    YA3PHBP: Yet another 3PH Boom Pole

    Since I'm building a root rake/grapple I figured it might be handy to have something to move the upper and lower sections around as it's being built. Comments/feedback on the construction and design are welcomed and appreciated. Made this mostly out of drops from the 3" x 2" x 1/4" wall tube...

    Root Rake/Grapple For Kubota B2910

    I'm planning on building a grapple to use with our Kubota B2910 ... in fact, I've started. The intended use will mostly be debris clean up (logs, brush, etc.) and, to a much lesser extent, actual brush removal. There are only two areas where I need to do actual brush removal: 1. Roughly a 10'...

    Kubota B2910/LA402 SSQA Build/Conversion

    My Kubota B2910 currently has Kubota's 2 pin Quick-Attach on it but since I'm acquiring more implements for the loader other than just pallet forks I'm looking to make changing them out even easier. I picked up Titan's SSQA roll-you-own SSQA brackets and some plates. First question I'm dealing...

    What would you do with this ?

    Someone left me a present ... :D I'm thinking that the flanges would make nice bases for floor mounting of tools ... like say for a vise or an anvil ... if I can get them apart ... What say you ?

    Missing Option For Forum Posts

    IIRC, there used to be a vBulletin option when creating/editing a post, something along the lines of "Retrieve Page Title From Links" that seems to have gone missing recently ... It would pull the page title/name for any links one added to a post from the site one was linking and name the...

    Anyone heard from creekbend ?

    It's been quite some time since he posted anywhere on TBN ... He had mentioned being busy with having some logging done on his property and this was mentioned in the context of providing financially for his family in the future. I wonder if he was experiencing some health issues.

    Convert Rear PTO Snowblower to Front Hydraulic

    I have an Allied/Buhler Farm King 60 rear 3PH snowblower and want to convert it to a front-mount blower for use on our Kubota B2910. The biggest issue (for me personally) is how to power it. Looks to be 3 options: 1. Build a PTO reverser box, that mounts to the rear PTO, and run a shaft...

    BH4672/BH4690 Performance Upgrade

    Does your Dipperstick/Crowd circuit seem painfully slow ? Are you tired of having to run your engine at near PTO rpm to achieve minimally acceptable performance, due to a seemingly poor choice, on Kubota's part, of the supplied PTO pump for your backhoe (..... or just the ill-advised inclusion...

    B2910HST dies out ....

    Not sure offhand what year it is - we bought it new around '03 or '04 I think - it has around 1035 hours on it, it has been worked, but has had all the normal scheduled maintenance, except for two things: 1. engine coolant has never been changed and, 2. the valves have never been adjusted...

    Loose dogs and owner responsibilty

    Today we lost our orange tiger cat as the result of a irresponsible dog owner who let their animal run loose. This little guy was a stray who showed up a couple of years ago, in the middle of winter and climbed up the screen door of my basement studio about 4 foot peering inside to see who was...

    New Driveway and Polebarn

    We recently decided to put up a polebarn in addition to the driveway replacement project I started last year. While I'm having the building shell structure itself erected, I'm doing the clearing and grading of the land myself (with some help from several friends), as well as some of the other...

    Sheep Manure

    A neighbor raises show sheep and has a big pile of manure outside his barn which I can probably have for hauling it off. I was thinking of incorporating it into the garden this fall. The question is, is there any risk of disease (scrapie) if I do so. The reason why I ask is that the neighbor...

    Quick-Attach Pallet Fork Brackets

    When I got my Woods DuAll pallet forks they came with these brackets. I had gotten the Kubota Attachment Quick Coupler for the FEL also and these brackets unfortunately would not work with it due to a clearance issue.

    80" Landscape Rake

    80\" Landscape Rake This past winter a friend hooked me up with a fab shop where he used to work as a source for reasonably priced steel. While we were over there picking up some 10" c-channel I bought from them for a dump wagon I'm building I noticed they were cleaning the place up and had a...

    Backhoe Frost Point/Ripper Tooth

    When I cut my plate for the ram face on the logsplitter I'm building it was out of an odd shaped piece of scrap 1" steel plate that I had scavenged. The plate had had several large round holes (6") cut in it among others and a long, narrow piece was left on one side, in addition to the large...

    Remotes for Remotes

    While visiting Prince Hydraulics website looking for something else, I noticed that they now offer a cable operated remote for most of their hydraulic valves: Remote Cable Control The assembly appears to have a much smaller footprint than a valve would, which might be a handy thing. I'm...

    Sources for steel drums

    After getting this months gas bill, I decided that I wanted to move the woodburning furnace (attached) that's up in the shed down to the house - it's just too nice to be in the shed - and the woodburning fireplace insert down at the house isn't getting the job done. I picked up the furnace...

    Yet Another Set of ROPS Lights

    I wanted some additional lights for snow removal so while I was at Harbor Freight awhile back I noticed that they had these 55w lights on sale for $8 a pair, so I picked up four of them. The only good thing I can say about them is the low price - the bases and housing very cheap and rather of...

    Logsplitter

    This is a log splitter I'm in the process of building. Would have been nice to have it for this season but I got started a little late and haven't been able to work on it as much as I would like due to work and having too many other projects going. Hopefully I'll get it done in time to still...

    Fireplace Mortar ?

    My home has two built-in fireplaces - one in the living room and one in the basement. The living room fireplace had an woodburning insert in it. But due to to the problems getting wood into that room easily I decided that I wanted to move the insert into the basement fireplace. (Heat rises...

    Kubota B2772 63" Snowblower

    Kubota B2772 63\" Snowblower I just found a (older ?) used B2772 rear mount snowblower for what I think might be a relatively cheap price - $1664 USD. It is in like new condition - attached is a pic. Only problem is that is quite aways away (1500 mi) so I would have to have it shipped in...

    Log Splitter Project

    I'm about to embark on building a log splitter. I plan on it being a 3PT mount for use on my B2910 and was hoping to use the PTO pump from by BL4690B Kubota backhoe to power it. If I get real inspired (or foolish) I might even attempt to outfit it with table grate and a hydraulic log lift ala...

    B2910 Quote

    Hello all ! This is my first post ...... but I've been lurking for awhile. About to take the plunge I think - found a dealer that I like - they are not close (130 miles) but they seem genuinely interested - after contacting the two closest dealers for quotes ... who both didn't really seem to...
