You guys may be interested in this. Cheaper method to produce biodiesel.

I know the normal uses deal with spraying weed killers, lawn fertilizing, etc. Add a wand and use it for spraying fence lines and the like. Also good. I only have 5 acres with about 3 in pasture. I am FAR from what I call a yard freak. I WON'T be using it to fertilize the lawn, it just means I'd...

I was thinking about a couple of things that could be mandated that would save big time. School kids should ride busses. Period. Especially teenagers in high school. Unless a child is approved to come to school from an area where no school bus from that school goes by their house. If they miss...

Whew.. I got some B-day money a few weeks back and was going to spend it on a Pat's easy change for my tractor. I was expecting to pay like $50-$60 for it. I was FLOORED when I got to the site and they wanted $200. There are entire implements I can get for that much money. Anyone that knows...

Ok.. I've noticed the generator threads firing up again (with good reason with Katrina looming) and my interest is also gearing up again. I have thought of a cheap but slightly dangerous way to build a generator. I myself can live with the risk, so with that in mind here is my idea: Take a...

Ok.. for there may not be many of you who use internet settings like I do.. but here is a workaround for the new forumpop redirect that shows up each time you come to the site. You will get this pop up asking you to join (even if you already have) if you have your browser cookies set to session...

Windows XP or Linux.. don\'t go to next MS OS Wow.. more proof not to upgrade you computer past Windows XP to the next version of Windows whenever it is released... or better yet start your migration to Linux. I'm posting this recycled information because all of us on here on this tractor site...

If you do wanna go fishing, Thailand is the place to beat!!! Really big fish

Boy did I goof up. I ordered a King Cutter combo subsoiler and middlebuster from Northern Tool and waited for it to come in. It finally got here and I saw the box and wondered where the rest of it was. I did not realize that the King Cutter XB or whatever it is, is for the really small tractors...

Well.. we finally sold our old house this week, which means it is time to crank back up on the renovations to our new house, which just happens to be 20 years old. The windows are in very bad shape. On about half of the sashes, the wood frame is actually seperating and will come completely...

Well, It finally happened. I got so tired of tightening up the ROPS tightening screws every 5 minutes during use that I started just leaving them and letting the ROPS rattle. Well the effect this had over time was it bent the ends of the bolts down at a small angle and broke one of them off. I...

Ok.. I've seen quite a few location specific sayings pop up on the boards in the past few days. Some of them were quite humerous and I figured it would be neat to start a thread on them. Oh.. and if I or someone else lists one of yours don't be offended. I think most of the time, these things...

Its been discussed here about oil filters but I couldn't find any discussion of air filters. Is there a cross reference from the Kioti air filter to any other brand?

The following is regurgitated from another thread, but ended up being general knowledge not entirely related to the original thread. Other may find it useful so here it is in its own posting with its own title so hopefully it may be searched easier in the future. This post deals with people...

Could some other with CK20's do a comparison for me? For the first time yesterday I noticed exhaust coming from what I guess is the crankcase vent when I hopped off the tractor for a minute with it running. I guess I had never had the tractor backlit by sunlight like that to be able to see it...

I've been meaning to ask this since BEFORE I even got my CK20 almost a year ago now, but for some reason or another, never got around to it. On Kioti's site in the engine listings for the 3C093, the one in the CK20 and LB1914, there are two specs listed. 2 completely different engines because...

I was bush hogging this past weekend with my recently repaired cutter and started feeling a vibration, it felt nothing like the heavy wobble before the repair I posted about before. I stopped and started the cutter a few times to verify that it was coming from the cutter and finally picked it up...

Ok.. I come in this evening and the whole thread where I was asking how people felt about the slashdot style of self imposed censorship is gone. I really wasn't bothered by the censorship thing and was simply making a suggestion, but then something like that happens. That is ridiculous guys...

Kioti 60\" rotary cutter repair I have the Kioti 60" rotary cutter and it doesn't have but like 10 hours on it from last year (the first season I had it). I got it out today to do the cleanup, greasing, check the oil and do some light work around the edge of the woods where some brambles are...

I have a new invention idea... a FEL with shock absorbers. I spent 4-5 hours digging around my horse barn yesterday trying redo some drainage. I kept meeting up with a huge immovable rock with the FEL. I never hit it with very much speed, never more than 1/4 pedal on the hydro in low range...

I got into a discussion with a co-worker yesterday about tractors. He has quite a bit of land and mows with a standard lawn mower. I inevitably started lauding diesel CUT and SCUT tractors and how they were much more than just a lawn mower. I stated the usual about diesels and their much...

Ok... I have my nice little 5 acres in the country, and my nice tractor. I've been trying to sell my old house for about a year now. The insurance company is about to pull out of their 1 year grace period for selling a house. Our agent has quoted us vacant dwelling insurance with the cheapest...

I\'m an unnamed local celebrity! Heheh Boy oh boy... controversial little ole' me. I got home friday night after taking my wonderful bride out to eat, only to check the phone messages and find that I had about 25 calls from friends and family alerting me to an article that ran in that days...

I'm looking at selling a Toyota Tacoma and getting a real truck with real payload. I'm looking at buying a used Ford F250 Diesel in the 1995-1999 range. Most everything in that age bracket is running close to 200000 miles. What should I expect for fuel mileage out of that truck, and can I...

Does anyone have any sources for PTO Shaft covers/shields? I borrowed a tiller from a buddy who has a very old Kubota. His PTO shaft was cut for a perfect fit on his tractor and mine needed something a little longer.. It still worked but the plastic PTO cover didn't fair so well, it seperated...

Well.. I spent all day saturday working with the tractor. I had to move some dirt and redo some drainage because my new pasture/barn renters have complained about water running into the barn and pooling in front of the stalls. I told them I would work on it as soon as it was dry enough I could...

This post if half question and half statement, but I see in thread after thread on here discussions of HST's and comparing them to automatics and people talking about the infinitely variable speed. Never once have I heard mention that there is actually a minimum speed at which full torque is...

1) First snow in the new house and for this area this year. 2) First snow for Methos Our black lab/border collie mutt. 3) First snow for the tractor and sold the ATV long ago to make way for flying equipment. Hmm. The tractor will do nicely. All this leads to fun in the snow with the tractor...

Is it just me or has anyone noticed a behavior change with this bulletin board. Here are examples: The following example still seems to work as it always did: If you go into a forum grouping such as Rural living that has had new posts since your last logged on visit, the tractor sign will be...

I have read yet another thread, one of literally hundreds on here, where people tout the dealership loyalty thing... or etiquette... or many other things and the ultimate questions popped into my head that I have been wondering about all day long. I have been unable to resolve these in my head...

I had queried something on this before but finally have a potential renter for my pasture and barn. Sorry to ask for free handouts, but does anyone have a rental agreement typed up that I could base something off of (otherwise known as a free handout )?

I was under the weather this weekend and didn't get any seat time, so I was browsing TBN and realized I had never posted my tractor pics from when I got my CK20HST back around June '04 so here they are. I apologize in advance. My wife only took 4 pictures with the digital camera, the rest she...

My tractor shed and barn both have metal roofs that are leaking. The barn is leaking pretty badly and will have to have something done relatively soon. I'm not planning on doing much to the siding or roofs of these until spring, but figured I'd ask for recommendations before hand incase the best...

Hey guys... I need some advice since this is the first diesel anything that I have owned (CK20HST). I changed the oil the first time a few weeks ago and am at about 5-6 hours on that change. I checked the oil last night and noticed that the oil on the dipstick is already black. Not thick and...

Well.. a full day has passed since Kioti came out to look at my tractor. Even though there was very slight dis-agreement as to the scope of the problem, they took all steps to have a happy customer and they got one. I am now satisfied that even though I still can't link up to my farmer...

Doesn\'t exist (My perfect truck) I've been looking for a new pickup truck. For the last 5 years I've been driving a Toyota Tacoma 4 wheel drive, 6 cylinder. I was and still am in shock since I downgraded from a Z71 Chevy with the 350. I only downgraded due to getting a new job with a much...

I realize that the question that I am about to ask is VERY regional but I have no idea what to charge. One lost renter is already proof of that. I have ~3 acres and a 2 stall barn with tack room that I will be renting out in middle North Carolina. We have been living there for 3 months and for...

Ok... I'm a new tractor owner, but I'm not completely new to tractors since I grew up in a farming community. My family did not farm, but I helped out a few of our neighbors for fun (and occasionally some spending money) during my childhood and teens. I never owned my own tractor until now and...

I have been lurking in all the generator threads that occured as a result of all the hurricanes. I am in the market for one of the PTO generators myself but am curious about the longevity of my tractors engine when I run at 540 PTO speed. I have a Kioti CK20HST and have noticed something that...

Well.. it had to happen. I just wanted it to be a little longer. My CK20HST got its first real battle scar (other than simple sapling marks from mowing and brush cutting). I hooked up a single shank subsoiler that I borrowed from my father in law last night in preparation for setting...

Ok.. I got my new CK20HST last night and got about 2 hours play err seat time on it. Actually got a little bit done while I was learning it also but I have a question for anyone else out there with the HST model of CK20. It seems that the hydraulic pop off for the HST tranny is set too weak. On...

Well... with the help of all you guys (and my lurking for nearly 3 months). I'm finally going to take the plunge and order a brand new CK20HST w/ FEL & toothbar, 60" RFM, 54" Rotary cutter, and 48" box blade tonight. I'm very excited about getting the tractor, but it is severly dulled by...

I posted a day or so ago in the pricing forum and mentioned that I was thinking about the C20HST and a rear finish mower. Before I make my mind up on that I am wondering what the removal time is for the 60" MMM with this tractor and what is entailed to do it. If anyone is willing to spend the...

I'm doing the worst thing for a newbie. Join a group and post with a question immediately. But I need help making a decision. I'm looking for something in the 20HP range (I think) for mainly finish mowing around 3 acres and bush hogging 2. So HST is I think the way to go. But I'm looking at...
