I have a Kubota L3400HST with a factory front end loader and am thinking about getting an offset flail mower with tilt for cutting around the edge of my fields, creekbanks and some other places too steep for a bushhog. Eventually I will add rear remotes but, in the meantime, can I run the side...

I am adding a third function to my 2009 Kubota L3400 HST tractor and am looking for advice on what size grapple would be best for my tractor. I would mostly be using it to pick up brush and limbs/logs and move them around. Currently I use my forks and have moved literally tons of stuff but it...

Do the Chinese 2K lb mini excavators freewheel when going downhill? It would be really handy to have one, but my land is pretty hilly, and I have read a few accounts saying they freewheel going down hills. Any feedback would be appreciatted. Fortyseven2n

My Dad's YTH2448 with hydrostatic transmission will not pull on any kind of hill at all. The mower is just a few months old and has not been abused. It was very fast and worked well until a week or so ago. It will run in forward and reverse on flat ground but will not pull a hill. Any ideas ...

I have an old Sears steam cleaner model # 765.950 and can't find out any information about it. The company I work for bought it well used in the 90's. They were going to throw it away a couple of weeks ago. I happened to be in the right pace at the right time so now it's mine. I rewired the...

I have a Weed Eater model GBI 30V blower that will not stay running. When I got it ( free ) it would crank and run great but would sputter and would cut off. The carb only has on adjustment. I turned it to get the right mix and think I wound up getting it totally out of whck. Turns out the...

I need some help on my Dad's PB-210E leaf blower. It is a mid 1980's model and has always started easily and run well until this season. He is using 50:1 mix per the book. This year , starting was more difficult and it would run pretty good with some hesitation on acceleration from idle to...

Probably a dumb question but on an L3400 HST does the tractor coast or free wheel at all going down hill ? What I mean is like on a gear tractor , if I am going down hill in 1st gear there is enough braking action or resistance from the engine to keep the speed slow. Do you get the same on...

My Dad and I took a look at a Kubota L3400 Hydro with a LA463 loader today. Dealer gave me a quick price of right at $18K with industrial tires. He priced a backhoe attachement at around $ 7K. Does this sound pretty close to average ? We are also looking at some John Deere tractors of...

I have a chance to buy a 2004 Farmtrac 435 with 88 hrs + finish mower for around $ 7000 or maybe a little less. I have not seen the tractor in person but it looks very clean and dry ( no oil leaks ) in any of the pics. Is this a good deal and a good tractor ? The only thing I don't really...

Has anyone used the Zoysia grass plugs on their yards ? I saw an ad in a magazine and looked at a website that sells the plugs and it sure looks good. But I really would like to hear from someone who with real world experience before I try it. Right now I have a mix of fescue and...

With all of this talk about wills leads me to ask a question. We are in North Carolina. Unfortunately , my Mother in Law has terminal cancer. Neither she nor my Father in Law have wills and it does not look like that is likely to change but that is a long story. Anyway, my Wife has one...

I have a chance to pick up some scrap pieces of 5" square x 3/16" wall square steel tubing in approx. 4' lengths and 2' lengths . The machine shop I work for buys this material in 20' lengths and cuts it into pieces just over 48-3/4" long . That means you only get 4 per length and have about...

I posted a week or so ago about a creek crossing . First , I want to say thanks again to all who responded ! Secondly , I thought I would give you guys an update . A co-worker brought his Dad's John Deere 350 track loader over to do some work for me . He pushed over 2 BIG hedgerows , an old...

I have a creek that I need to cross to get to some of my property . Right now all I have is a foot log to cross but I need to get my tractor on the other side . The creek is about 10-12 feet wide with banks about 5-6' high . There is a solid rock ledge bottom and the water is usually only 6-12"...
