Hi all... Just noticed that the hub on one of the gauge wheels on my 25-year old Farmhand EG 220 finishing mower has blown open....and I'm having a hard time trying to find a source for a mower of that vintage. Is there a place to get replacement parts...or failing that, is there some kind of...

Hello all....my father had a 200L sprayer that he used for spraying fertilizers, etc sitting in a shed for years and years. Does anyone have any experience with these - and roughly what they think is a fair price might be? Thanks for any input.

Got a new seat for my L2900 (late 90s) for Xmas.The Kubota guy told my wife it was a generic replacement type, and SHOULD fit. The original seat bottom has 4 threaded holes lining up with the holes on the hinges on the seat base. The new seat base has lots of threaded holes all over the places...

Well, after years of fighting those damned turnbuckles, I took a leap of faith and got the L8430 telescopic stabilizer kit - despite Messick's maintaining that they would not fit on an L2900. Technically, they were correct....the mounting points on the L2900 are literally a hair too wide for the...

Tired of fighting my sticking turnbuckles, so I am looking for a set of replacement stabilizers for my L2900. Thought I would check out the Kubota L8430 kit, which is supposed to fit the L-series. Did not see the L2900 listed on the dozen or so L-series models on the Messick page, so I sent a...

Just wondering if this is normal. Friend has a old Ford double-blade plow. When we tried to plow a row or two, the plow seems to be way tilted over to one side - causing one blade to dig in and the other to barely skim over the surface. We致e lengthened the top link but it doesn稚 seem to make too...

Excuse this relative newbie question...but what is the deal with tractors that have their ROPS mounted in front of the operator vs the more traditional spot in the rear? It looks like a loader won’t even go on the front ones. Is there a dfference? A reason? Advantage? Just curious.

Hello all...have just put a few loads of fresh gravel down on the driveway. Am somewhat concerned about a lot of it getting pushed around and ending up in the ditch as i plow the drive with a rear blade. I thought about installing snowplow shoes on my rear blade to keep it a half-inch or so...

Hi, all...i just bought a used tiller to work a piece of land. Turns out it is a grey market Kubota and everything on it is written in Japanese, I assume. There is a filler cap on top of the chain case, but I am not sure about how to check the level of oil in the unit. There is a bolt on the...

Hi, all...I bought a used Kubota tiller today - and OF COURSE, the existing PTO shaft is about 2 inches too short. I have a spare PTO shaft lying around from another unused implement, so I figured I would cut that one to proper length...but I DO NOT want to mess this up!! I have measured the...

Hi all....fairly new to moving snow with my tractor. We have a 500-foot gravel driveway, and I am trying not to end up tearing it up with my rear blade. My neighbour says he 澱ack-blades his driveway for the first snowfall or two to develop a good base. Can anyone explain to me what this...

Hi all.... Just finished smashing my round rear amber flashing/turn light assembly on a low hanging branch. Bought a new 4 inch amber light assembly, figuring it would be a matter of cutting and splicing a couple of wires. But no. The original has only one wire leading to the bulb holder and the...

I recently picked up a quick hitch - and of course, one or two of my older implements aren稚 QH friendly. So i have rigged up a floating top link adapter to get them attached. Now I have read that the purpose is to let the implement follow the contours of the ground more closely...like in my...

Does anyone know anything about these rotary cutters? Do they look familiar? I know nothing about them except they are Chinese and imported over here and sold under a variety of names. I do not even have specs on it yet. Been looking for a decently priced unit- and all the new, brand name...

Hi all... Just picked up a quick hitch that was on sale at a dealership. However, I致e got a problem with my 55 gal ballast barrel. The barrel used to fit fine between the lift arms without the hitch...but now the curvature of the barrel is hitting the hitch before I can get it on the pins. So I...

I have an L2900. I壇 like to acquire a few more implements (wouldn稚 we all?) but am on a not unlimited budget (aren稚 we all?) As I致e not owned a lot of implements, please forgive the newbie questions. I have a chance to acquire a box blade...a 48-inch Land Pride. Is this too narrow for this...

For those of you with older style lift arms, how do you all control the lift arms from flopping back and hitting your tire when no implement is attached? I致e tried bungie cords, rubber straps, a short piece of 3/16s chain...and even a piece of rope. What痴 the consensus on a go-to device?

Just wondering if anyone has experience with moles and the damage they leave behind. Our area has been hit with a plague of moles in the past year...and our properties are covered with their hills and holes. Frankly, it looks terrible. We致e done a host of things to try to curtail it, and I知...

Hello all... Just trying to get a ballast barrel project going here. I have a 50 gal plastic barrel, a drawbar, scrap iron, cement and rocks.. What I DON探 have is a welder, nor access to one. What I壇 like to get are options for attaching something to the drawbar inside the barrel that can go up...

I致e been trying to acquire some implements for my L2900...preferably used. I have a line on a box blade, which Inthought might be nice for general earthmoving, some driveway dressing, and ballast in general. However the ONLY lightly used box blade that痴 within driving distance is 48 inches...

I have a late-90s L2900, and have been looking for a service manual for it I have a line on the L2800-L3400 workshop manual. Is the L2900 close enough to the 2800 to make this manual worthwhile? Thanks..

Just got an estimate from our dealership for a front-to-back fluid/filter change on my dad痴 L2900. I was expecting 6 or 700 dollars....but I almost threw up in my mouth when I was quoted 1160 dollars. Mind you...considering NOTHING担 been done to that thing since 2011, I guess it pro-rates out...

Hi all....am fabbing up a ballast box for my L2900. Am wondering if thereç—´ any kind of general rule-of-thumb regarding weight. My L2900 is listed at 2700lbs. The lift arms are rated for 2800lbs at the pins and 2200 at 24 inches behind. Is a ballast of roughly 25 or 35-odd percent of tractor...

Hi, all...after trying for months to source a 3pt carry-all here in Canada, I致e decided to give the welder kid down the road a chance to fab one up for me. If anyone out there has built their own, what size of angle iron did they use? 2 1/2 or 3 inch? 3/16 or 1/4 inch thickness? Thanks for any...

Hi, all....am replacing some torn-down fencing on my acreage. The deer have been living on the lot, eating my apple trees, my berry shrubs - and worse of all, my wife's flowers. **** hath no fury than a gardener's flower garden defaced. Anyways, the problem area is sloped...gradually at first...

Hi, all. I have a Kubota L2900, which has been used exclusively in 4x4 mode since we got it, as our property is mostly hillside and unfinished. However, I'm taking it to the neighbour's house a few hundred yards away on a paved road to pick up a rotary cutter. Should I disengage the 4x4 and use...

Hi, all....considering a rotary cutter (brush hog). I've got a Kubota L2900 (29 hp) Mostly just rough grass and knee high weeds, not a lot of actual brush. I see in my "used stuff" site that there are a few options out there, ranging from 42 inches to 72. How big/small should I go, given the...

Hi all...not sure of the proper terminology here, so bear with me. Was just hooking up my dad's finishing mower onto his three-point, and I noticed that one of of the mower's pins slid easily into the ball, but the other side seems to be a bit bent. It's like the arm got twisted a bit, so...

Hi..am new to the world of fulltime tractoring - having inherited my dad's Kubota L2900. As I don't know the last time Dad had it serviced, I am leafing through the owners manual to the periodic maintenance section. When i check the transmission fluid indicator (the little glass thing in the...

Hello all...am getting a 3pt quick hitch for my L2900. Am also considering fabbing up some kind of ballast box. My question is - does it make much of a difference if the ballast box is hooked up via the quick hitch (which means it hangs out a bit further out back), or is it more effective if...

My dad's tractor is a 4x4 L2900 with R-4 tires sized 13.5 x 16.1 on the rears. I'm not sure if the tires are loaded - but when I was messing with the valve, liquid did come squirting out. Anyways, I had a tire guy come over in the fall when one of the fronts came off the wheel and he pumped up...

I'm trying to build some kind of 3pt ballast box for my Kubota L2900. I've seen dozens and dozens of nice plans here, and will try to incorporate some of the ideas in my finished product. I don't weld, though. I might be able to find a guy, but would rather try to do it in house. So I'm limited...

Hi, all. My new-to-me L2900 is a 4x4 model and I haven't used it that much yet ...being winter and all. Just wondering, does this mean that the tractor is in 4x4 mode all the time? It's not, for example, a RWD and you can put it 4x4 mode when you need it? It's not harmful if its run in 4by...

Ok, this doesn't look right. I noticed that the bucket pins on Dad's LA480 loader look wrong. One pin was just held in by the linch pin and the other looks like it's snapped off. And they look different sizes, to boot. As you can tell, I'm a total tractor newbie. I take it there's a bushing in...

Our tractor bucket has a split along the horizontal bottom seam (along the back). I'm not sure if Dad had literally GROUND the seam down, or if it was a combination of rust and whatever. I'm going to call around for a guy to try repair it with a welder. Can a guy just lay a strip of angled iron...

Forgive this oh-so-newbie question, but how exactly does one use a level indicator? The reason I asked is that my dad wrapped a chain around the level indicator on the bucket of the LA 480 loader, and ripped it off by yanking on something. So I've got this orange level indicator lying around...

New tractor user here. I've got a Kubota L2900 and it is used primarily for snow removal with a 6 foot blade in back. We don't get a TON of snow, only maybe 3-6 inches of fluffy stuff at any one time. I've been using the top gear of the low range as I plow, but the engine seems to be running...

I'm new to using a tractor seriously...have a Kubota L2900, and I'm looking to clear off a bit of property that's got a lot of shrubs and bushes growing on it. A few of them have been cut down a couple of times in the past, so there's a decent-sized stump at the base (6-8 inches around). Is the...

Hi, everybody...a new guy here. I've been lurking here on the site for a while, looking and admiring at what some great and imaginative people have done with their equipment. I'd like to get the following - pair of medium-duty clamp-on pallet forks with a stabilizer bar, and a carry-all like the...

Hi, all....am new to the world of tractoring, etc, having just taken over my dad's small acreage in British Columbia. We have a Kubota L2900 with a rear blade that looks like it's seen better days. (dad was HARD on his equipment). Looks like the cutting edge was ripped off at some point, and the...
