    Homemade wooden snowplow - thoughts?

    I have a Kubota MX6000 cab tractor. Normally I use a 7' rear blade for snow plowing. However, it is a pain to be looking behind you all the time. What do you guys think of making a wooden front plow? Here's what I'm thinking: 1.) Buy a 1/4" SSQA metal plate 2.) Buy a 4x8' sheet of 5/8"...

    Front wheel spacers?

    I have purchased aluminum wheel spacers from Bro-Tek on several tractors in the past, on the rear wheels, to widen the stance. I noticed they also have front wheel spacers. Would adding front spacers help reduce rollover risk on side slopes, given that the front axle is on a pivot? Would it...

    Any experience with WoodMaxx Flail Mowers?

    I'm in the market for a new flail mower and don't want to pay top dollar for an Alamo or Vrismo. I've had the bottom-end Titan flail mowers, and they simply don't hold up. I can list all the weaknesses. So I'm strongly considering buying a WoodMax FM-78 mower to go behind my Kubota L4060 HSTC...

    How to keep radiators free of grass chaff?

    I've run Kubotas for years, flail mowing large fields with grass anywhere from 2-3' in height. After some hours of mowing, the temp gauge starts to creep up and will fully overheat if you were to continue. The problem is all the pollen and chaff at the top of the grass lifts as the front of the...

    Spool broke in Kubota B2920 loader valve - any options besides new $900 loader valve?

    I have a 2013 Kubota B2920 with LA364 loader. Last fall the dump and curl function of the bucket suddenly became very erratic, particularly curl. Also, hydraulic fluid would leak out of the associated spool valve mounted on the side of the tractor. Dealer sold me a $90 seal kit. I parked the...

    Oil & Fuel  Safe to use diesel from a pickup transfer tank in a new tractor?

    Hi folks, I have a couple of older tractors with indirect, mechanical injection. Just bought a new tractor with common-rail direct injection. In the past, I've used my 60-gallon transfer tank and pump in the bed of my pickup to fuel up the tractors when they are in the field. That tank has a...

    Will mowing plug up oil cooler and EGR cooler?

    So I bought an MX4800 which has an additional two liquid to air heat exchangers in *front* of the radiator screen. In my experience, during field mowing the radiator screen, front grille, and even radiator fins themselves plug with grass / pollen / chaff after a few hours and the engine temp...

    New MX4800 owner

    Excited to have just purchased a brand new MX4800 HST 4x4, even though I can't pick it up until July 3. Dealer needs to install loader, load tires, etc. This tractor is going to join my 2013 B2920 and 2002 L4310 which have both given excellent service. Does the MX4800 have an identical engine...

    Sidehills with a cab vs without

    I am an experienced tractor operator and I use my machines to mow 3/1 slope which I mow on the sidehill and not up and down. This is a capped landfill with distinct tiers and berms so mowing up and down is simply not practical. I've been performing this job for 4 years now and not had an...

    Another tire loading question

    I've been mowing fairly steep sidehills for two years now with my Kubota B2920, and 48" Vrismo flail mower behind. There are a bunch of areas with a lot of "pucker" factor. Even though I haven't rolled it yet, there are several places I feel like I'm right on the edge. I move at a creeping speed...

    Weed Whacker Kwik Loader or Bump Feed Head?

    I have three trimmers - a 2004 Honda 25cc 4-stroke, a 2013 Husqvarna split-shaft with Honda 25cc 4-stroke engine, and just yesterday, a new Honda 35cc 4-stroke with the bike-style handlebars. So you can see what my trimmer preference is, anyway. That aside, every trimmer I've owned has either...
