Hello All - I'm not sure if asking for boat advice on a tractor forum is OK but what the heck. I an not much of an outdoorsman so I am not up on boats and such. My father used to take us out on a lake fishing when I was a kid. I enjoyed it (although I can't stand fishing - I guess I am too...

Hello all - Now that I have my flats under control my wife and I are considering starting a new project. I just got a quote for a wooden fence (split rail - 1700') for my pasture and paddock. I want to replace the electric fence that is there - posts are rotten. The quote is at least 3 times...

It is so depressing to see my sick friend.. so tired and low. First flat tire... I haven't fixed it yet, just backed the CUT into the garage. My 2910 has a twig (1/8") in it's front tire. Is it hard to fix these things? I guess I should have mowed more than once last year.... Paul

Hello all - I haven't been around for a while. .. nice to see that TBD keeps gettin' bigger and better. I have a Kubota B2910 which is a couple of years old now. The tractor works flawlessly - I am very happy with my purchase. However there is one thing that has me a bit worried. I have to...

My wife likes the "look" of windmills and mentioned that one would look good on our farmette. I don't thinkwe would want one to power a generator but just for its appearance. Does anyone have any experience with windmills? Do they sell new ones. I found only one company that advertised on...

I used to work with this fellow. I just found out about an accident that he had while helping out on the family farm. It happened towards the end of last year. Story I am lost for words. I'll just say a prayer... I feel so bad for him and his family...

Hi Guys - The decking is finally going on today... We have had a number of setbacks but things are really shaping up. I was wondering if anyone knew of a clear finish that could withstand the nasty UV that the sun delivers. We had a mahogoney door in our last house and even though it was...

Hi everyone - We are in the middle of putting a 42' x 10' covered porch on the back side of our home. The contracter that is doing it seems to know what he is doing (I ask a ton of questions). The one potential problem I see is that the floor joists are 16" on center. We are putting...

And so I am turning 40 this year (yeah yeah lordy lordy..) Weeeee. My kids are now old enough to take a rather major vacation so I thought I'd see the country. I live in NJ and have been to California but haven't been to most of the states in between. My thought is to take 2 months next...

I\'m so lucky....post hole digger Despite me occupying the remainder of any storage space that we had in our garage after buying my CUT, my wife still supports me on my tractor purchasing decision. In fact, today she called me at work and wanted to know what a post hole digger would cost (I...

OK so I have been promising my oldest daughter a horse for some time now. My wife and I have been discussing it and have decided to start looking around this year. Now we have a "horse property" but not alot of experience with horses (e.g. I know that they have 4 legs and need to be fed, but...

I wouldn't really call it a boo boo. Just the normal chips and such of the paint especially the loader and 3PH. I was wondering if you all occasionally touch up your toys with paint. Does such paint exist? I am guess if Kubota sells that gray or orange paint - it ain't cheap. Just thought...

Howdy All - Here is my current problem... I have a wife out of work so since the extra income isn't there I no longer want to pay to have my lawn mowed ($80 per week). I have just under 3 acres of grass to mow. I have a small lawn tractor that is very old and tired and frankly I am tired of...

The wife described here was a good friend of my sister.... http://www.mcall.com/news/local/all-a1_5overpasjan05,0,3376898.story?coll=all-news-hed ==== A very sad day for this family =====

I know TBN'ers get real excited when there is an opportunity to get their tractor out. I was wondering what the options are for clearing driveways of snow. The obvious thing is to use the front end loader - I don't think this is an efficient way of clearing a foot of snow or less though - do...

I keep all of my toys in the garage (except for my cars). Today I came home and there was a very strong gasoline odor. Gasoline odors cause me to panic. After ripping through all of my gas powered appliances I found that it was my Troy Bilt Rototiller. I think the low temperatures that we...

I am an electrical engineer and thankfully still employed. Many others aren't though. I know of a bunch of unemployed engineers, some for over a year. It amazes me. Two years ago we were the hottest profession known to man. We would take 40 to 60% increases in salary between jobs. Today we...

In the couple of months or so that I have owned, I notice that my usage is somewhat sporadic. I will use the baby for a couple of days in a row and then not for a couple of weeks. I am guessing that this isn't that unusual. This probably isn't good for the battery and maybe alot of the moving...

Oh boy. I recently replied to a "mice" post in which I urged for some cats. They take care of mice really well. Well I can't believe it but it seems we have bats. I have not actually seen them but I know there aren't any mice around the attic. We have been hearing some scratching towards...

OK it sounds dumb but I am still rather new at this - I'll learn.... Last weekend I put in some hours on my B2910 mowing my pasture - I love my tractor decision. The weather was nice. It was sunny and cool. Its kind of interesting that I never really gave any thought to what I should be...

Its not what you think! Don't send me any money and expect a real estate seminar on video tape.... I just want some advice for my wife... My father-in-law was a mechanic his whole life. He bought a garage on a busy state highway here in NJ in 1960. The place is ideally situated on two...

I have had my new tractor (B2910) now for about 3 weeks and have not used it nearly enough. Work seems to be getting in the way (sometimes I think that I should rethink my priorities). Anyway I should be using it alot more in the coming weeks. I have been using my FEL for things like pushing...

Hi guys- We had to cancel our vacation this year. It was supposed to be in Williamsburg, VA. It was a family reunion on my dads side. Unfortunately my father-in-law got very sick and landed in the hospital. Fortunately he seems to be getting better but we ended canceling the vacation for...

This is sort of a continuation of the post "Where do you store your tractor?" but specific to barns. Well, I think that I have decided to build a barn OR I have decided to have a barn built. I haven't decided. . In any case, I was wondering what experiences that you all have had with building...

My initial plan was to fold the FROPS and store my tractor in the garage until I could get around to building a storage barn/shed. However folding it down is not exactly an easy task. In fact with the canopy attached it doesn't seem possible. The canapy's edge will be crushed if it rests in...

My 9 year old daughter has a computer in her room. It isn't connected to the internet and I have no plans on connecting it anytime soon. A person at work was surprised that I didn't let my daughter on the internet. I told her that at her age there was more bad out there than good. She...

You gotta admit, when you measure the length of driveway in fractions of a mile, a tractor really comes in handy for just this purpose. My wife was so impressed that she went and got the camera. (I am the fat and balding guy on the Kubota). Paul

Well its finally here. My little baby Kubota is lookin' good and yes the seat on the 2910 is very comfortable. Unfortunately I have to get to work and won't get to play until this evening. There is so much to do..... I can't wait. Pictures attached...

I have a dumb question about Folding ROPS. I am assuming that folding ROPS fold so that you can shorten the tractor height for perhaps storage or getting through short places. Are most designed to fold quickly using perhaps some sort of pin assembly? I thought that I noticed on a tractor at...

Am I crazy? When I went to purchase my tractor I noticed that some tractors seem to have their rear tires mounted close to the frame making them narrower. Others were mounted away from the tractors frame. Does mounting them this way give better stability? I should have asked the dealer. Paul

Crazy me! I moved back to NJ 5 years ago after living in Atlanta for 8 years. When I say move back home I mean 1/2 mile from my parents home (where I grew up) and 3/8 mile from my sisters home in the other direction. Its beautiful here in Hunterdon County, NJ. Despite the high price of...

Well, I think the time has come. I am very nervous because I hate parting with cash but I can't wait any more - I am probably going green (unless something drastically changes my opinion before 7/31 ). I have several dealers in mind, Among the top considerations are: [1] Lehigh Ag in...

Hi guys, We had a beautiful drive today through some of whats left of rural New Jersey - Hunterdon County. We ended up in Frenchtown which is located along the Delaware River. It was quite pretty. On the way we noticed the typical "rolls" of hay in the fields of some farms. Neither me nor...

Hi, A girl I work with has convinced me that I need to buy a Kubota (she has an L35). I was wondering if anybody would share their "Internet" buying experiences with me. Carver Equipment looks like they get quite a bit of press. Who else is there and what do you think of these dealers? Paul

Trimmin\' up the treeline... Hi everyone, I haven't been around lately as I have been working like crazy. I have a question for anyone who can help. I have about a half mile of treeline (you know the one that used to separate different farms here in NJ). I have a fence that is parallel to...

Hey Guys (and Gals), I notice a REVIEW section on this board but not alot of recent reviews. It would be really great to hear some of your opinions on new model compacts and utils. Thanks, Paul

Wow. I finally received my JD4000 series video tape which compared them to Kubota and New Holland. I was pretty impressed with Deeres presentation. I understand though this is the sort of propaganda that their sales and marketing team puts together - I guess it is their job. It is worth the...

Hello, I did a post like this about a year or so ago. I still see alot of the same names here. I just started surfing here recently again and am glad to be back. I was wondering if we could have everyone introduce themselves and tell us a little about themselves. My name is Paul. I live...

I decided to repost in a different post for more feedback. I really like the Kubota Grand Ls. The thing that really bothers me about the Kubota L's shouldn't (but it does). I really dislike the quality of the step to board the tractor. The step is made of very thin and insubstantial metal...

Hello, I had all intentions of buying a compact utility tractor last year (I wish I had before the stockmarket colapsed!). I have about 6.565 acres of which about 3.5 is pasture. So I will use it for cutting the pasture, occasional loader work, scraping my gravel driveway and whatever the...

I was wondering if I could somehow get a list of new deere tractor and asking prices on the internet. The only site I found is http://www.piedmontequipment.com - does anyone know where there are other sites? Paul

Hi there, I will be purchasing a 4000 series JD tractor within the next few weeks. I have have made decisions on all of the implements, but have questions on tires. I will be cutting a nearly 4 acre pasture with a rotary cutter (brush hog). I will be doing some light front end loader...
