    Do smart electric meters alert the power company when it's removed?

    I'm needing to move my circuit panel in my basement in order to install a basement bathroom. I've always wired my own homes and outbuildings but this was prior to smart meters. In the past I could just pull the meter to cut the power so that I could replace the service entrance cable. Then just...

    Anyone think this is accurate?

    I was looking for some ballast and found this on FB marketplace. I believe it’s about 30” wide x 24” tall x 24” deep. They’re claiming 1540 lbs. That seems exaggerated to me.

    HF Icon vs. Pittsburgh line

    I'm needing sets of T-handle hex key wrenches both metric and SAE. Since I apparently haven't needed any in 60 years I probably don't need to over pay. I plan to just go to Harbor Freight but don't really know what the difference is between Icon and Pittsburgh are. I know from experience that...

    Windshield washer fluid reservoir cap

    Does anyone have a source for a cheaper cap for a kioti windshield washer fluid reservoir cap. Mine didn’t fit when I bought the tractor and now it’s completely missing. The only one on line was around $18 for something that shouldn’t be more than $5.

    Great A/C but no heat.

    My Kioti ck3510 chse has freezing cold a/c but now that fall it here I now realize there’s no heat. I turn it to hot or cold and it feels like outside air. Does anyone know where to start? With only 650 hours I’d doubt its a heater core but don’t really know how the system operates being that...

    New grease gun won’t let go of zerks.

    I recently purchased this grease gun to leave at home with my latest tractor. I like that it’s one handed as opposed to my old one. The problem is that it won’t let go of the zerk unless I sort of angle it to kind of pry it off. Im afraid I’m going to break iff the zerk. Is this a fault in Kioti...

    What is this and how to tell if it’s on or off?

    I recently purchased a 2018 kioti 3510 chse. The previous owner seemed to take good care of it but also is very dishonest. He installed various electrical accessories. He said that he experienced a parasitic drain which was draining the battery. So rather than solving this he installed a...

    Anyone know what's going on with this plow setup?

    I bought this Kioti used and the previous owner included several implements including this snow plow. He didn't have the grapple as I purchased it afterward. The hydraulics are run from one of the 2 rear ports to the loader. When I connected the grapple I experienced a leak in both quick...

    Modification to add a 3 point control lever to rear.

    I have a new to me ck3510 se/c HST because I couldn't afford a CK3520 that already has the rear lever to control the 3 point while connecting implements. Has anyone ever made this modification? I always wished I had one on my open station Kubota and now I really want one on my cab model.

    Help my grapple won’t close.

    I just bought a used ck 3510se/c. The previous owner has hydraulic lines running to the loader. He had a snow plow that has 2 cylinders for angling the blade. The lines run to the rear hydraulic ports. I have a new grapple mounted and it only opened but won’t close with the lever C D next to the...

    Glacier Storm Root Grapple

    Has anyone purchased one of these, used one or heard anything about them. I’m in need of a 4’ or 5’ grapple with double cylinders. There are several videos but all by the manufacturer. Thanks.

    Looking at Kioti and have always had Kubota.

    I currently have a Kubota L3130 dt and am looking for something at minimal similar but with front or rear hydraulics for a grapple and a bit heavier lift capacity on the loader. I'm looking at a 2023 NS4710 used with 24 hours on it for $26500. First what does the NS compare to in Kubota? Second...

    I want a Hydraulic grapple for my L3130 with la513

    This is where I began. I have no hydraulics at the front except for the loader. I started shopping and found the Innovative tractor attachments for about $600 but it's only a diverter valve. So I started shopping for full 3rd function valves. The price is all over the place. Lane Shark is $2000...

    I have a Kubota l3130 DT with loaded R4s. With a set of Everything Attachments forks on the front and no implements on the rear does anyone know the Weight ditribution by %? I need to load it on my trailer with a log spltter near the tongue and can't get the tractor as far forward as usual. The...

    Do Car hauler fenders add to the structural integrity of the trailer.

    My 7000# open car hauler fenders are substantially beat up from hauling logs. The inside panels which are supposed to be welded to the frame are just flapping around. This becomes more pronounced when driving my tractor onto it but closes once the tractor is in place. My question is: Do fenders...

    Is white pvc mipt used for dwv fittings fine, coarse or 2.44 fine?

    I purchased a food grade IBC tote for water at my property and need a fitting to screw onto the valve. Amazon wants to know the thread type. The IBC is 3 hours away but when last there I unscrewed the cap and went to TSC to try and create a fitting. The cap screws fine onto a male threaded 2"...

    Telecom wires under future driveway.

    I'm at the beginning of my new home on a 5 acre narrow and long wooded property. I was considering putting in the driveway myself. I have the permit and had the underground utilities marked. I just realized that the telecom wires are running under the only place that I can put the driveway. The...

    Geothermal related to cooling in Michigan.

    I'm at the planning stage of a summer/ retirement home in mid Michigan. My basic question is: Is using a ground source heat pump significantly more economical than a traditional central ac that just uses the outside to dump the heat? My current home electric bill is closing in on $400 per month...

    Kubota la513 bucket cylinder replacement.

    I just changed my hydraulic fluid in my kubota l3130DT since I just replaced the hoses from the control valve body and also rebuilt the left bucket cylinder for about the 4th time. Just the fluid and the filter were about $500 so I don't want any more leaks. That left bucket cylinder is leaking...

    What's this plug?

    I was changing my hydraulic fluid on my L3130 GST and lying underneath for 45 minutes awaiting the 11.1 gallons to stop dripping and I noticed this plug. It was obviously broken off or intentionally ripped out by the previous owner. I've had this tractor since about 2011 and it's always run...

    Heavy Duty bucket cylinder for la513 FEL?

    I've had this problem for years with my Kubota L3130 and the weak la513 loader. It will lift whatever I try but will ultimately develop a leak. It's so annoying. I've replaced the seals many times but that drip comes back. Has anyone found a direct replacement for the 2 bucket cylinders on this...

    New flatbed (to me) F550 looking for stakes

    I just replaced my 1995 F150 reg cab 4x4 with 46000 miles with this 2003 F550 4x4 DRW flatbed. I use it to haul logs from my dad's property. It came with these stake pockets but no stakes. I would like steel stakes and just make some 2x slats to contain other stuff I haul. Anyone ever see these...

    please help to ID this ford

    I'm trying to help an elderly neighbor who is getting rid of some stuff around his property. He's had this tractor for many years and doesn't know the value or the exact model for that matter. It starts with a jump and everything works. It's gas and 6v. I've been reading different ford sites but...

    LA 513 Cylinder swap for LA 723

    Does anyone know if I can simply swap the bucket cylinders from an LA 723 for my LA 513 bucket cylinders? I'm aware of all of the warnings about this swap but just need to know if they are similar enough to fit without loader modification or binding.

    Large gas grill vs. small lpg tank

    Hi, I have a very large gas grill on my deck. It has 5 burners, 1 rotisserie burner, 2 side burners and an oven. All this is expected to fun off a small 20# tank. I'm always running out of gas. Has anyone ever connected a portable gas grill to their home 500# of 1000# lpg tank? This grill weighs...

    loader cylinder seal failure.

    I have the LA513 loader on my L3130dt. About a year ago my experienced neighbor and I replaced the seals on the cylinder which tilts the bucket. The light blue seal was actually coming out where the rod enters the cylinder. Now the same thing is happening on the same cylinder. Anyone know why...

    I need pallet forks.

    My operator's manual for my LA513 says that it has "Quick Hitch" implement attachment. I see the 2 black handles. Does this mean that it is able to use universal skid steer attaching implements? I was looking at some forks at WildKat attachments. They are very inexpensive. Nobody I talk to is...

    l3130 power steering leak

    I just noticed that my power steering gushes hydro fluid when the steering wheel is turned but only when the engine is off. When its running not a drop. It's probably not supposed to do this. I'm thinking o-ring. Easy fix? I have lots of car and truck experience and an awesome set of tools...

    Online parts ordering

    I received my new to me L3130 gst yesterday (very excited). I noticed that the hazard flasher switch is missing the lens cover or some kind of a cover. I think it must illuminate. The hazards work but I figured it's best to keep water out of the switch. Does anyone know of a way to purchase this...
