I just recently purchased a F3060 to replace my aging F2100. After 12 years of cutting with an old F-series, I just couldn't see any other type of machine fitting the bill. I came across this machine, and was a little hesitant given it only has a 60" deck, but it's relatively low hours (2100)...

As per the thread title, anyone know of a decent source, preferably in Canada? Current head is cracked. The tractor's in decent shape otherwise (with a loader), and I was planning on selling it and buying a new tractor (25-25 CUT or a light-commercial TLB like a B21-26). I'd hate to write it...

As I buy my 2 stroke oil in "bulk" (relatively speaking, as I buy it in 1 quart containers) and need to measure it out to mix with gas, I'm trying, with not a lot of luck, to find the ideal tool to suit my needs. Typically I mix my 2 stroke fuel in 5 liter (approx. 1.3 gal) jugs as I find this...

I'm looking to buy a root rake style grapple for a Case TR320 compact track loader (skid steer). What I picture using it mostly for is brush clearing/land reclamation to clear overgrown areas of buckthorn etc. and then be able to handle the brush (move it into burn piles) without picking up too...

I've pretty much decided I'm going to buy a UTV but I'm having a hard time taking the plunge, particularly because the price is hard swallow for what your getting in a lot of cases. I doubt I'll buy new, as I don't think I can come in under $25k for what I want and I refuse to spend more than...

I'm trying to go back and find some old posts/threads I know I posted in. Every search I've tried doesn't seem to work and I know some of them are still there because I manually found them. Clicking on any of my profile date (i.e. posts) only comes up with a short list, missing a lot that I've...

While mowing with my old Kubota F2100 front mount mower the other day I came to a abrupt halt accompanied by a grinding noise. It didn't take long to figure out that the coupler coming from the engine/clutch was spinning on the input shaft for the HST. Replacing the through bolt only got me so...

Since I just have a single grease gun at home (away from the farm shop) I'm trying to find recommendations on the best all-around grease (type/brand) that I can put to just about anything without too much fear of issues. Obviously it will be a bit of a compromise, but I don't plan on buying a...

As per the attached pictures, I've cleaned out a severe mess in a portion of my bush that I'm looking to keep "manicured" to a certain extent. I shaped most of the ground to the point I can get my mower in there and a bit of string trimming. So with that, I want something to take hold on the...

What is the best way to deal with roots heaving in your yard? The attached picture doesn't quite show it, but this large root from a spruce tree is now protruding quite a bit. It's received a bit of trimming over the last few years courtesy of my mower. I'm guessing it's a mixture of frost...

I kind of jumped the gun and bought a older Kubota F3219 power broom to put on my F2100. Attachments for these machines are becoming rare an I figured I should be able to flip it if I don't find much use for it. I remember running these as a teenager working for a landscaping company and...

I recently built a couple of out buildings and am looking at digging up the grass and extending the gravel driveway to them (shaded in blue/green in picture). These buildings are at a slightly lower grade than the house (hard to see on the picture) and a lot of water tends to head in that...

I've been wanting a grass catcher for my 2100 for a LONG time as I believe it'd be ideal for clippings and leaves. There appears to be a GC60F for sale nearby, but I'm finding ti very hard to determine if the "60" means it only works with the 60" deck (it's powered through a gearbox taken off a...

I'm committed to getting some siding on a shed/shop (16x124) that's been standing for close to 2 years now. It embarrasses the heck out of me that I've let it sit in housewrap all this time but the biggest issue has been indecisiveness. I just wasn't sure what I wanted to finish the walls...

Hey all, I know there's numerous threads, but I'm looking for Canadian specific recommendations to purchase a box blade. It will be for my little SCUT Ford 1210 which doesn't havea whole lot of ponies and I'm fairly certain 60" is definitnely the biggest I want to go. Doing some searching...

While my daughters had little interest, my son, now 3 1/2 y/o, can't get enough of tractors and machinery (like most little boys I imagine). Anyway, a friend gave us a hand-me-down 12v John Deere toy tractor. The boy couldn't get enough of it, however the transmission went out of it quickly...

I've been wanting to add a 2nd spool to my Kubota F2100 front mower for years. Now that I have a little Ford 1210, the desire to put implements on the front of my Kubota is gone, as I use it mostly for grass cutting as it was designed now, however I did buy a little dump trailer last year that...

While I'm pretty comfortable choosing a 15W40 diesel oil, and there is a lot of selection out there, there doesn't seem to be a lot of options for 10W30. My questions are: Do I have to stick with a 10W30? My 2 little tractors (Ford 1210 and a Kubota F2100) both call for it. Is there other...

The water pump on my little Ford 1210 let go on me a few days ago in the middle of blowing snow after the biggest storm of the year. Thankfully my local CNH dealer was able to get one in the next day. I went to install it today and realized it didn't come with a gasket and figured I should...

I posted this a few years ago, but started a new thread with a different title hoping to get some input: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/359620-f2100-rc72-blade-replacement.html?highlight=#post4472869 I finally actually measured the blades last time I had them off...

I've patiently been on the hunt for a few years for a CUT/SCUT and finally got sick of waiting and pulled the trigger on a 1986 Ford 1210. I had ideally been looking for something like a Kubota B Series or even a B21 TLB, but it was far easier write a check for about 30% of what one of them...

I finally got around to putting up a small (16 x 24) shop last fall, and just bought a Ford 1210 that has enabled me to fix the grade around the building (I built it up as it was in a bit of a low sport) and add some fill out of some berms on another part of the property. My problem now is I...

Does anyone have any info on the B2771 snow blower? I'm looking at one for sale locally that mentions it was mounted on a the front of a B series. I was wondering if I could adapt it to put on a F2100 front mount? What way does the impeller rotate? The price is right and I'd love to put a...

Hi all, I bought a (obviously) used F2100 a few years ago and it has been a solid machine. I cut about 2.5 acres of grass and push snow with it in the winter. My main issue with it is cut quality. Even after a good blade sharpening, the cut quality isn't great, and clippings is a huge issue...

The other night I went to mow the grass and when I depressed the clutch and went to pull the PTO (mower deck) into gear it started grinding severely. I then discovered that my clutch had quit disengaging out of the blue. The external throw-out mechanism appears to be working but the clutch...

Hi all, I've been looking everywhere to come up with a solution for snow removal with my old Kubota F2100 4wd front-mount mower. I did find a Kubota B2551 blower at my local dealer set up specifically for a F2100 with the 2 point hitch and appropriate PTO. However it is in extremely rough...

Hey guys. I bought an older Kubota F2100 with a 72" deck for grass cutting duties this summer. I've always love the F Series since working for a landscaping company in my younger days. I got it off an old fella who treated it well and it's in decent shape. Anyway, I have a few questions for...

Years back, I used to use an Echo hedge trimmer with an angle adjustable head to clear long grass, weeds and light brush. It worked fairly well at cutting swathes in ditches and overgrown fields and what not. I'm looking to do something similar again around the house. I want something to...

Few weekends ago, we were supposed to be working on my buddy's new house but a few people showed up, a few drinks were drank, and brilliant minds went into motion. He built his house in a rather wet and low field and hasn't got to putting any fill in yet so this spring it was a little muddy...

Anybody have any experience with these? A large custom guy has bought one around here. I saw him working it the other day. Definitely an impressive *looking* machine. Anyway, my buddy's dad has been considering one, and I've been hearing of a lot of problems with new John Deeres around here...

Friend\'s Toy Collection A few pics of my buddy's (he's twentysomething as well ) green toy collection. His got other JD memoribila scattered throughout the house. You can see a picture in this pic of his family's farm John Deere collection (mostly working tractors) from about 10 years...

It's been awhile since I've posted anything here. I've got a good stash of pics built up. I've been combining for a bunch of friends/family this year. Mostly on green machines but I took some pics a few weeks ago when running the grain buggy for a buddy that runs red machines. *Click the...

I posted this in the Kubota section but couldn't get any info. I'm hoping it will get more exposure here and someone can help me out..... I remember back years ago a friend of the family who owns a Kubota dealership, brought over a remote control lawn tractor. I was only 12 or 13 at the time...

I remember back years ago a friend of the family who owns a Kubota dealership, brought over a remote control lawn tractor. I was only 12 or 13 at the time and it's hard to remember the details. I remember it had crab steering (cool) because we would drive it diagonally down the yard. I seem...

I think maybe the last bunch of years , winter seemed to start a little later then normal, but it sure seem to be here all of a sudden this year. A shot of what my car's exterior thermometer was reading tonight:here That's -21 C or -6 F. Cold enough I suppose for early December A few pictures...

....that new tractor smell. We finally got the new TN75 a few days ago. A week or two late and a few minor problems (see this thread Link but very happy to have some new help on the farm none the less. We couldn't get a cab because we need the clearance for getting in some low bars, but...

We just got our new TN75 the other day and were a *little* dissapointed. For one, the front fenders weren't on (we later found out they do not fit with ALO loader and custom ones a being fabricated) and secondly the bucket was too small (it was supposed to come with an 8 foot bucket, not a 6)...

Okay, I've got a few posts on here with regards to advice on purchasing a replacment loader tractor for my father's farm. The tractor has to be 4WD, and it will be for general farm use, especially a lot of loader usage (manure, hay, dirt, rocks) and some field work (like pulling a 6 row corn...

Although my father has been considering a new NH TN75 he came across an Agco Allis 5680 with around 2000 hours that he thought was a good deal. Does anyone know much about these air-cooled tractors or have any opinions on them?

My father's been busy looking around for a replacement loader tractor. Although I was trying to lean him to a backhoe, or maybe even a skidsteer, that was ruled out recently when we figured there were certain implements we needed a tractor for that none of our others would be right for (either...

Why does it seem 20 - 30 year old (maybe even newer?) big horspower, big sized articulate tractors are so relatively inexpensive? Is it because they were produced in low volumes and are expensive and difficult to find and replace parts? Or is it a just a demand thing? That they are just too...

NOw I know this is a very general and broad based question, but I want to hear people's opinions on what they think are some of the best OEM FELs and aftermarket manufactures of loaders. I'm talking for tractors sized from about 60 to 140 hp from say the last 15 - 20 years. I have used many...

I was looking up at the sky tonight and the sunset picture thread came to my mind and I thought I grab my camera and head down the road and get a good pic from the top of the hill over our corn field. I didn't get very far when I came upon a police cruiser and some flashing lights. I could...

Today is Thanksgiving up here in Canada. I was thinking I had to work today, but due to a few things that came up, there was no point. I tried to think of ways to avoid any real work (because I have lots of it to do at home, on the farm, my dad's house, etc.) without feeling too guilty...

This isn't the greastest pic. It has been cleaning up a bunch of manure lately and I gave it a quick spray to do some service on it. The engine side cover is off for the same reason. Overall it's a decent tractor. A bit slow on the road, doesn't turn all that well, and the FEL is SLOW...

Just taking down a bit of grass around a buddies shop with the flail mower.

Here's a pic of our AC 7000 doing some field work with the cultivator.

Not the greastest pick. Definitely a very quiet comfortable cab.

\"Big\" Tractor Sites/BBS? I just found this site today, and I must say I'm very impressed. Great site. My only question....since this site seems to be more focused on compact tractors, is there any similar, high quality sites such as this for larger machinery? Thanks

I looking to hear people's general thoughts on the M120. The company I'm working for a considering selling their's and I was wondering if it might make a good farm tractor for my father's farm. I've operated it a fair bit, but it doesn't get many hours on it, or implement usage. It was used...

I was talking to a friend recently who had recently rebuilt the motor on his 656 and in the process bumped the hp up to about 90 (He figured) by simply adjusting a screw or something on the injector pump. Does this seem reasonable? Is there such a procedure? Our 656 is due for a rebuild and I...

The landscape company I'm working for this summer has just bought a new 760B Fermec backhoe/loader. My only experience is with Case and Cat b/h's. Is this a good machine? Any thoughts on Fermec in general, which I believe is manufactured by Massey Ferguson?
