Hi guys, sorry I have not been around for a while, been very busy and miss my daily fix.... But on with the topic...
Just wanted to let you all know about the on going debate about gas cans, it finally happened to me... I started to with the 5 gallon can and move to the big tank with pump...
Here you go guys, I was rooting around on a obscure web site and caught something about tractors... It had a link to an english newspaper article about this old tractor that a man found in South American and has restored... sure wish I could be the one to sell it.... The store says that there...
On the board now we have talked about the slopes what it is safe to work our equipment on. I took the time to check out the one big hill that I mow a little of and the road going up the powerline ROW. Here the pictures and what I found walking the slopes using a six foot straight edge and...
I just got my tree puller back, as it was out on loan for several months. For those that do not know, a tree puller is a long tooth attachment to go the 3pt hitch to pop saplings out out of the ground. (run a search for discussion and pictures..) I was removing a bunch of saplings and...
We did another one... Removing some old stumps that where left from last year, I was looking back to watch the chain, and the front bucket was just the right height to roll a smaller root ball up under the front end. It broke the hydralic line fitting for the steering cylinder... This is...
Guys, this is something new that I have not seen posted and thought I might warn others about... This weekend the small community where we live had a Turkey Shoot to help raise money for the park and other activites... I got roped in to helping and my wife went too... Well my wife took it...
Another close call that I did not even think about. Yesterday afternoon I was finishing my pre-winter PM on my dozer. The last thing to do was to top off the fuel tank. Hopped on my tractor and got the 55 gal drum out of the shed with the front end loader... It held about 30-35 gallons at the...
New update... This last Sunday afternoon, my wife, sister and myself where taking a walking down by the creek along our upper field. As we were getting back in the truck, my wife heard a shot and then another.. She ask where it came from.. The way we were sitting I figured it should be down at...
Harv, here is what your tractor would look like with a backhoe mounted....
Also for all the rest of you on the backhole debate, it is a L2650 with a B4690 backhoe.
Here is a picture of a culvert going in an old field road.
It is going in a low spot that will stay wet all winter. It does not have a lot of run off to carry.
Hillbilly, how about an update on the dozer operation information you where looking for. I am still looking for anything that will pass out information, I swear this tractor board has me so spoiled.....
I have just blown a hydralic hose on blade lift on my dozer, and will replace a leaking hose...
Yesterday, I was clearing out an old fence line with my dozer and found some bees, not sure were they were in the ground or in a small dead tree I push down. I got hit three times. The one on the front left shoulder is still sore. These little ones are not some I have run into before. They...
Paul Harvey\'s Gun Control Test
To day on Paul Harvey's address he spoke about the happenings in New York and the country. He had a lot of good things to say about the United States and its citizens... He finished with this... about gun control laws...
" I have come up with a true test of...
Here is a photo of the used back blade I got a while back for some light dirt work and clearing. The mount works very well. Note, one small problem I have is to get the right amount of counterweight in the front bucket to keep things level and make best use of traction... For real though...
Does any one on this board have any experence with a JD winch. Mine was not hooked up when I got the dozer, and can not get it to go into gear. I hope there is a easy way to deal with it, without sending it to the shop..
This last weekend I went to a "Hay Expo" put on by the University of Arkansas Extension Service. All the big boys where showing their equipment, farm tractors, balers, rakes, tedders, mowers... Green, Blue, Red showed, no orange. (They were there last year). Two big things were going...
Some of you will recall my on going battle with people dumping down at our little bridge. Here is a latest. The month of May was a county wide clean-up. No charge at the dump. Also the county would come pick up any large items.. Sunday afternoon late I drove past the bridge down the road...
In a way I hate to start this thread, but it did happen, and is a problem in my area and maybe others. Monday morning I am outside starting to load my tractor on my trailer and two dogs run a doe through the back yard (I am way out in the country), and take her down in a briar thicket about 100...
Yes, just the other day I did another dumb thing. I was mowing my other property and finished the old house place that is next to the road, and was going to mow down the old field road to the back of the property. There were two pine trees down across the road, very long but not very big...
Ok Harv, I just gotten the ultimate add-on for my Kubota tractor. It helps so much clearing trees, pushing brush, cutting ditiches, and dressing up the field roads... And one of the nicest things about it is you can de-attach it and use it by itself. It is a JD 450 dozer. So now my Kuboata...
TraderMark, I took the picture you posted and a sketch down to the local fab shop and had a treepuller buildt. Cost $140 plus $5 for the pens. I had it built with dual holes at all the pick-up points, to fit both cat I and II lifts so my neighbor can use it on his big tractor.. It does...
For those who missed it because it was under a Kubota forum, be sure to check those important bolts.... I started to do the 500 hour PM and went to check all the bolts on the front end loader and ROPS and backhoe mounting brackets. Few of the bolts on the ROPS were to specifications, most...
Hi guys, a quick question. Was under my tractor checking the bolts and came to the ROPS bolts and they were loose.. Checked with the local dealer who has done work on the tractor and they said to torque the 5/8 bolts to 130 foot-pounds... Sound Ok to you all. Need to check the thread on...
Hi guys been having so much fun the last few days. The weather is getting right here and the ground is still pretty moist so it is time to clean out some old fences around the o'home place. First cut into the fence and hook onto the wire and pull it out. Then take the brushhog and cut out all...
A few days back I posted about the crew cutting brush down the power line across the front of my property using a couple of super-duty cutters.. While talking to them, one of the things I noticed that was unusal, was that the had the front tires reverised on their 4WD. They said that they do a...
Boys, I have just seen the absolute best brushhog, shredder, rotary mower, (what should one call it), ever. I want one bad after just one look.... A couple of men came by this afternoon clearing out the power line right-of-way. They had two Massy tractors 4WD with this incredible mower...
Speaking of ponds, has anyone on the board every cleaned out a old pond. We have a small one that is about forty years old and now has filled in. It is now very shallow and has about two to maybe three foot of muck in the bottom. I was thinking of going ahead and draining it this summer when...
Just for everyone who was keeping score, this afternoon the last of the ice melted off my driveway.... We still have some around in the shade but not on the drive.... Thanks. Now it is the sloppest mud I have ever seen. The wife got my truck stuck down in the field this afternoon. She was...
OK, guys I know that a lot of people have said I am already CRAZY, but this north central Arkansas ice is pushing me over the limit.. We have only lost power about twice. Some of my friends around had it off for over a week. Both times it happen to me it went off around 8PM and when I was in a...
I was rolling down the road the other day and a small implement company about half way to town had two orange tractors out front. I was so happy that a dealer so close to me would start to carry Kubota. Turns out to be a very close looking copy, the Kioti. Has anyone seen these and know...
There is one I pulled this weekend. I was going to borrow my neighbor's HD 8 foot rear blade, weight about 750#. I unhooked it from his tractor and was using my FEL to pick it up with a short chain. His tractor was setting on a slight cross slope. I started to set the blade over to the down...
A friend of mine has an old Allis Chalmers crawler tractor that is a 1940 model made for the Ordnance Dept USArmy. Could one of you gentleman tell me if there is in any interest or another web site for something like this... Thanks..
Does anyone have at least a rough breakdown on the Kubota model numbers changes and about what model year? A friend asked a question about it and I really did not have a good answer. I ran a search on it and did not find a answer. This is mainly for the L series. Thanks for the help guys.
Hi,Guys -- a new one that I have not seen on the board. Yesterday morning I hooked up the brushhog and cleaned up some brush around the house, got off to get a drink and when I came back and the little orange one would not start (turn over). After checking everything, decided it had to be a...
I have a L2650 with a L450 loader, and will need to get some hay forks for the loader sometime soon, any suggestions. What is best, one that replaces the bucket or clip on type.. I ran a search for hay forks and found none, could not believe it. Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks, for all the great information that has kept me safe while working on my Kubota. A discussion a while back warned about dead limbs and other overhead hazards. I have been clean out a lot of underbrush and opening up some old log roads to give access to my property...
