    Loader  Rebuild Cylinder and Valve Question

    I have a Kubota L3130D HST with an LA513 FEL and I need to make two repairs. 1. The left hydraulic cylinder that curls the bucket is leaking (just dripping) and needs to be rebuilt. 2. The FEL hand control valve that raises and lowers the FEL is sticking. I'm hoping to make the repair myself...

    Where to buy tires?

    Just popped a front tire on my Kubota L3130 - forced me to take a beer break. I've decided to go ahead and replace both front tires. It got me to wondering where most tractor people go for tires. I typically go to my dealer for most things - attachments and the occasional repair. Do most of...

    Spreader  manure spreader - fine spread pan?

    I'm looking at buying a manure spreader to spread a mix of composted manure and dirt on my vineyard. I see many have a "fine spread pan" option. I think I need it, since my material is fairly fine and probably doesn't need so much to be flung out by the paddles. Can anyone explain how the...

    BX25 - Anything you would do differently?

    I'm about to buy a BX25, and I want to make sure I don't forget anything in the way of options etc. I already have an L3130HST, so the BX25 will be my wife's tractor (she'll let me borrow it to dig holes). My plan is to get a 60" mid mower, canopy, and rear work lights. I also want to be able...

    Tiller  AgMeier Mohawk Tiller

    I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on this tiller. My Kubota dealer has priced me the 60-inch unit for $1600. He says it compares to the Rhino unit he sells for $3500. He has never steered me wrong, and has always delivered for free (85 miles). I think this might be a new product for...

    Generator  Which PTO Generator to Buy?

    I'm thinking about getting a PTO generator, mostly for when I need some power 'way over there' on the ranch (welding, lights, etc.). I don't really need it for house backup power. I really like the idea of a PTO unit, so I don't have another motor to keep up. Any suggestions out there? Price...

    offset vs "regular" disc question

    I'm looking to buy a disc. A friend suggested an offset disc (looks like a V when viewed sideways). But most of what I see for sale are a bit different. They look more like an hour glass when viewed sideways. And the offset of each side is adjustable, since they pivot from the center. Is...

    Spreader  need seed spreader advice please

    I'm in the market for one of those conical PTO mounted seed spreaders. I think the 500 pound capacity size. Can anyone suggest brands I should buy or not buy, what to look for, and what to expect to pay. I will mostly be using it for rye, oat, and wildflower seed mixed with sand. Thanks, Doug

    I'm planting a small vineyard and will be in the market for a small airblast sprayer. I think I need something like the Arbus 200. Jacto: Arbus 200 Airblast Sprayer They aren't cheap, so I'm wondering if anyone out there might have other recommendations, or know of where I might find a used...

    Fred Cain Subsoiler Question

    I just bought a Fred Cain S2 subsoiler. Trouble is it looks bent. After I located it, my wife went and picked it up, so I didn't get to inspect it before it arrived. Before I give the dealer a hard time, I thought I'd ask here in case it is supposed to be offset. Looking down the main shaft...

    PTO Concrete Mixer

    I know there are other threads about PTO Concrete Mixers, and I've read those. I wanted to start a new thread, because I am in the market for one and thought maybe there is some new information out there. I bought a mixer (French built) I am about to return because while it says it has a 1/3...

    Chipper  Bearcat chipper review

    I posted this as an answer to another thread, but thought I'd add it here in case anyone is looking at Bearcat chippers. I just bought a chipper and wanted to share what I have learned. I was first interested in the Bearcat 70554. A neighbor up the road has one and gave me a demo. I think it's...

    Posthole Digger  Stand to store my Post Hole Digger?

    I just bought a Rhino HPHD post hole digger with a 9 inch auger. It's a beast. Somehow I managed to get it attached to the tractor PTO by myself, but I don't ever want to have to do that again. I know they make a display stand for these, but I'm wondering how other people store them. Has...

    Chipper  Help Please! I Need to buy a Chipper

    I'm in the market for a PTO chipper to use with my Kubota L3130. A Neighbor has a Bearcat 70554 5" model. It seems pretty good, but it simply dumps the chips in a pile below the unit, so he has to constantly move it around. Has anyone used the model with the blower on it? What actually...

    Hey Y'all, A guy down the road is selling his 2003 model L3130HST tractor for $13,500 and I'm wondering if this is a fair price. I just took it for a test drive. It has been stored in his garage and looks brand new. Here's what I know: 126 hours on the meter. LA513 loader with L2243 bucket...

    What compares to a JD 3520 with a 300CX

    I've been looking at the John Deere 3520 with a 300CX loader. The trouble is the loader can't do some boom/bucket operations simultaneously (see JD thread). I've contacted JD, but so far they haven't answered me - kinda felt like they wish I'd go away so they didn't have to admit the problem...

    3120, 3320, 3520, 3720 - how to decide?

    First let me say thanks to all who post here. I am looking to buy a tractor and have learned a lot by poking around on this forum. I'm not sure how to start this long winded question(s). I've looked at Mahindra, Kubota, and John Deere. I'm not too interested in the Mahindra, but today I...
