I just posted my B2710 on Craigslist. Got the following response: "From: Andy R Smith Sat 2/25/2023 9:25 PM I really appreciate your response. The first email was addressed to my cousin, who assisted me in contacting the seller because I'm new to Craigslist. I've been working incredibly long...

By far my most useful attachment is a "carry-all" - a homemade wooden platform built on an otherwise pretty useless set of three-point forklifts. I've had this one for forty years; it dates back to when Sears sold tractor implements through its old chain of catalog stores. The carry-all stays on...

I have two batteries in my 2011 Chev Silverado PU attached in parallel to the alternator. One is for the pickup the other for winch, inverter, etc. The latter is near the end of it's life. My question is can I replace it with a deep cycle battery; will the alternator charge a deep cycle battery...

I have had a King Kutter Pro bush hog for about 8 years with new blades for it sitting in the shop for about three. I decided I needed to change out the blades this week. When I look down the access hole to the threaded top of each blade shaft I see a crown nut secured by a cotter pin. The...

I got a set of Pat's from the TractorBy Net black Friday sale to put on my new Kubota B2650. I have older model Pat's on my other tractors and between them and a hydraulic top link, hooking up an implement is not easy but the least difficult that I can make it. Imagine my surprise when I went...

a Any recommendations for noise cancellation headphones? l want to listen to audiobooks while mowing this summer.

I inadvertently put a dose of "Stable" (gasoline storage stabilizer) in a five gallon can of Diesel. Will that damage the diesel engine in my tractor if I use it?

Any help appreciated: I'm having starting problems with my B2710. For some time the clutch safety switch seemed to be hard to trigger, meaning I would really have to push the clutch down to max to get the engine to turn over when I turned the ignition. I recently had it serviced at the local...

So today I did my semi-annual rotation of tractors from one place to another. I hauled my JD 3005 (listed weight per tractordata.com about 2000 lbs, plus heavy duty FL bucket, plus R4 filled tires) to 'summer pasture' and in exchange brought my Kubota B2710 (per tractordata.com 1741 pounds, with...

So, since Mike is going to be occupying the garage for his auto restoration avocation, we needed a building to house the tractor and yard tools. These five pictures indicate the progress Mike, Akiko and Jim made over five days. The first photo was actually taken on the start of the second day...

I was mowing heavy brush on sloped, rough ground today. I noticed that my loader was not lifting to clear a slope. Worked fine yesterday. Did not run into a tree. Did get a few sticks caught up in the running boards. So this is a JD 3005 with 300 loader. Although the loader is detachable, I...

It's been wet this spring, as always, and now that I have moved my JD 3005 down to the tree farm I'm limited in climbing hills with it until the ground dries out in July because of its R4 tires. My old Ford 1700 with R1s seldom slipped, and I keep my Kubota B2710 with R1s down on the farm in...

The rate lift of the 3point on my Kubota B7100 for the last six months has been sometimes very slow and at other times normal. I can find no rhyme or reason for when it is one way or the other. When it first started I sent it into the Kubota dealer's shop and of course it wouldn't go slow. I had...

I've had my B7100 forever, but only recently discovered the "Directional Control Valve" referenced on page 11 of the operator's manual which allows hydraulic pressure to be diverted from the 3 point lift to a rear implement. Has anybody got experience with using this? I need advice on Step (2)...

Recently saw a dune covered restroom at the beach. Thought that may be a good idea for a low maintenance storage building built into one of my hilsides. Has anyone done this? I'm thinking of planting a cargo container in a trench and covering it over. Any thoughts on longevity of the metal...

Got my cargo container organized for spring. I have it situated on my remote tree farm so that I can securly store my Kubiota B2710, attachments, and tools. This container is a 20 foot high-cube ("high cubic foot volume" - nine and a half feet tall vs the usual 8 foot). I had delivered in a...

Took the flimsy legs off my 3 point log splitter and replaced them with wooden skids. Works great. Easy to load into the back of the PU with the FEL. Roll it around the shop on moving dollies. Don't have to lift the wood rounds so high. I think they ought to make them this way. The blue plastic...

JD 3005 27 HP, PTo rated 24 HP. I break sheer pins on a four foot 3 point brush mower. I can run a five foot without problems. Looking to buy a new mower. Do I have enough horsepower to move up to a six foot mower? mf

Took my "new" used 2710 out to the treefarm today. Boy did it exceed expectations. Plowed through six to twelve inches of mud without a slither pulling 18 foot logs. I love Ag tires - throws the mud sideways. Do all Kubotas work this well? I like the throaty rumble of my JD 3005, but the high...

I have been using a 8000 pound electric winch mounted on the 3 point to yard logs off my tree farm hills. It is reliable, but relatively slow. On both my Kubota B2710 and JD 3005 I have a free rear hydraulic for my log splitter. Would i gain in speed and cable length (i'm now at 100 feet) if I...

I just bought a Kubota B2710 that I found on Craig's List. Although I have no doubts that it is a legitimate purchase from a legitimate former owner it got me thinking about two things. First, does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of stolen tractor serial numbers that we can refer to...

Couldn't resist. New to me Kubota B2710 with 480 hours I found on Craigslist. Bought it and brought it homer. Trying it out tomorrow on the tree farm and sending it to the shop for a professional service the day after. It has top and tilt and an open hydraulic valve - couldn't resist. Anyone...

Does five hours on the 3 point log splitter count as seat time? ,;) Mf

Just came from the Deere dealer. Thinking of adding a 3032E to the fleet. Does anyone know whether the bucket on the 3032E with a 305 loader will fit on my current JD 3005 with a 300 loader (and vise versa)? Mf

The neighborhood association had 21 douglas fir trees dropped in the greenbelt area to reduce windstorm risk to the adjacent houses. I was chief clean-up operator since I have the only tractor in the neighborhood. I generally use the Kubota B7100 for rough mowing and general grounds-keeping, but...

Need advice: I recently bought 40 acres of timberland outside of Elma in Western Washington. Most of it has recently been logged and replanted, but there is one area with about twenty year old trees covering about four acres of realatively falt ground at the bottom of a draw. There is a small...

Had an interesting experience this spring. Background: I have two places where I keep tractors, one near the dealers and one quite distant. I keep my Kubota B1700 at the "near" place and my Deere 3005 at the "distant" place except when I exchange them to do an annual maintenance at dealers...

Found out an interesting side effect of the bubble-burst real estate market here in SW Washington state a couple of weeks ago: land is down to treefarm prices for the first time in years. I just purchased 38 acres of logged off replanted timberland a few miles north of Elma for...

I invested in some Pat's easy hitch attachments and a hydraulic top link this winter. Boy am I going to save on chiropractor bills! :thumbsup: Mf

I'm interested in finding an articulated CUT. Zetor Zebra 2040 has come up. Anyone have one or familiar with it? What are they worth? Mf

Well it finally stopped raining here in the Pacific NW so I took the JD3005 out for a mowing workout. I have now got 35 hours on her. I put on my circa 1960's five foot bush hog which used to lug the ol' Ford 1700 to no end and over heat it ever 10 minutes. Three hours of two to three foot heavy...

Hadn't used the JD 3005 for about three weeks. Before revving her up I checked under the hood. Mother mouse had moved in and nested on the radiator. Four babies in the nest. I'm not too keen on mice so felt no compunction in cleaning it out. I was, however, impressed with the eight inch size of...

My tree farm is 20 to 30 years old on hilly terrain. I need to get poles out that I have thinned or salvaged from blow-down from relatively steep slopes that I can't drive the tractor up (currently a JD 3005, formerly a Ford 1700). I can't justify the cost of a skidding winch like a Norse or a...

Has anyone had experience with Harbor Freight's 15,000 watt Chicago Electric PTO Generator advertised in link below: - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices If so, how would you rate it. The price looks good. I have a Kubota B7100 and a John Deere 3005 to run it, so...
