Farmer trapped under mower for 10 hours - Telegraph Over here, ROPS only required over 600Kg. J

The fields around us are in full bloom, and the dogs love charginging around in it - and come back covered in the yellow pollen. A neighbour suggested it is dangerous for dogs, though others say it is an old wive's tale. Anyone got experiences one way or other? J

The buyers of our house want to include my B1750HST in the sale. It will be sad after 20 years, but then it gives me the opportunity to buy something a bit bigger - around the 30 to 35 HP mark - and also another hydro with a loader. Usage will remain as now, mostly mowing with cultivation...

No idea if this is correct place to post - however an idea I have seen on other fora would be useful here - namely a list of users currently online with moderators (or similar) highlighted - and maybe have mods outside US timezones (follow the sun)? This way, if events crop up when you guys in...

Low Sulphur Diesel / Biodiesel issues I've just been talking to the local garage owner here in UK, and he advises that his supplier is reformulating their red / rebated / off-road diesel from 13th December to meet a new EU directive. After 1st January 2011 all such EU diesel must be of the...

I needed to repoint a few posts and found the chainsaw did a surprisingly good job, if slightly uneven. This set me thinking - has anyone made a framework / jig for this type of operation? J

Having tried to economise by filling planting troughs with soil instead of compost, and now having to pull a multitude of weed seedlings out every day, I am thinking how to prevent the same thing happening next year. One option is soil sterilisation - or I think pasteurisation is maybe the...

I know most guys (and gals) on this site are in US and have 'proper' guns - sadly here in the UK our gun control laws are somewhat stricter (and may tighten more after last week) - however I would welcome any thoughts or comments anyone has on air powered rifles (limited to 12lbft). The...

Does anyone know whether a ROPS for a B1710/2110/2410 will fit a B1750? There is one on e-bay and I like the idea of being able to fold ROPS mid-way rather than having to lower it all the way onto bonnet. I know loaders, for example, fit multiple models as bolt holes and fixings were...

I want to add a couple of rear double acting spool valves to my Kubota B1750 with KBF200 Loader. Currently, I have the detatchable loader plumbed into the hydraulics, so I will fit it in there in series. When loader is detatched, I there is a loop of pipe that connects hydraulic pipe output...

I thought I would share my current land cleaning with you guys. I am sure you all know how it is working on a building project to a budget - something "extra" is needed and there is no money to finish off. Well, the previous occupants of this house obviously had that problem - and their...

I have a Bell Pickpine log splitter - purchased used. It uses a hydraulic pump connected to the tractor's PTO and has a hydraulic oil tank of its own. The splitter works in what I imagine is normal way with a two way lever on a control valve - one to extend hydraulic ram, one to retract...

One of the many interesting things on TBN is the exchange of ideas and information between the posters from the different continents - so I thought I would run this one by you all for thoughts as a safety matter - I hope you do not feel an open discussion like this will dilute the message of a...

Currently I am in UK where electricity is 230V / 50Hz and all my tools are so rated. We are looking to move to a country with 120V / 60Hz electricity. So what do I do with all the 230V stuff? White goods - no issue - just replace. Some of my tools are autoswitching, such as the cordless...
