So I am getting a flail but I have one question. Do I need a cab on the tractor for safety?

yea I saw that sickle mower. I am leaning to the flail to eat up the roses. Will I need an enclosed cab for safety? Brush hog mentioned it. I have dug up rose bushes for years with a back hoe and they grow back in no time. Is there a brand of flail mower that is not made in China? Or at least...

I have a Kubota L3800 and I am looking for a side mower. This is for cutting wild rose bushes and small saplings. along the driveway. I can find posts on flail mowers but not on sickle. Also what brand mowers are good? I have Titan log grapple, forks and a bucket so I am thinking of buying from...

I've had layers for 15+ years and yea I feel bad for them in winter. But as said they slow down on the laying and they roost up together and fluff up to stay warm. Be careful with electricity in a coop. I was on another site years ago and a lady lost a barn because of lights catching the cob...

Well I found it Taco Viridian 1816 variable speed 4-44 watts. I even got a cartridge to rebuild it when it goes. I got lucky that it died late march and not in February at - 5* , prime time for my OWB to break down. For now I'll fix it and shut down for the season.

The circulator is not intermittent unfortunately, this is on a outdoor wood boiler circulating 24/7 . It adds up over time, so now that I need to change it I'm looking at the options for a more efficient one. Thanks for the link and info, good place to start.

I have an outdoor wood boiler. After 8 years the Taco 009 circulator died. I am looking to find an energy efficient replacement. The height it has to pump is around 14 feet, boiler to the basement. I use a heat exchanger so I don't need to pump up three stories. I'm just trying to lower the...

That was my thought but the plumber said it was never legal. As I recall the stove and dryer were hooked up and all they did was put a pressure gauge in the line and wait 24 or 48 hours to see if it changed and then it passed. But it has been over 20 years.

They do not come with fittings now. In fact they hid it behind a plate. 1/2 npt is to big and did not fit the gas connection. I wish I had access to a Ridged pipe thread machine, with that I could make it smaller to fit. But I am getting someone tomorrow to hook it up. Then I don't need to worry...

We just got a new gas range. The old gas range had copper tube with 3/8 flare fittings. The line was kinked so I got a new BrassCraft gas connector kit 60" long 1/2" line. The Range has a hook up fitting from the regulator with a .685 ID. The range claimed it has a 1/2 npt fitting. I saw a...

I ended up with H pattern duo for the rear. They have a slightly rough ride but that's ok, this is a winter only for snow removal.

I just put 2.5" spacers on my Kubota l3800 tire size is 15 -19.5 R4 with rim guard The chain styles are Aqualine from tire chains r us and reinforced European style net European diamond tire from tire chains .com and the other style is the ladder. My driveway is paved but older so...

I have 2 new Hunter ceiling fan light combinations. We previously had Hampton Bay fan/light combos. We have dual switch 3-way wiring, and we could turn on the fan or lights separately from the top or bottom of the stairs. Now to turn the light on the fan’s switch needs to be on. The light switch...

I looked at the pull cord switch and saw " 6a 125vl " stamped on it. I assume this might be voltage limiter. It also has " 6a125vac " on it. Led 100w bulbs draw .83 amps according to what I read. So I hope bypassing the light switch fixes this . But does anyone know for sure what 6A 125vl...

I had seen the youtube videos showing the current limiter but mine do not have a part that looks like that. I guess I'll just replace the sockets and eliminate the light pull cord. 20' from the floor so I don't see using the pull cord.

WE don't have any remote or dimmer on the lights and the bulbs are LED so no over heating. The ceiling fans work just fine. I have thought of replacing the bulb sockets just to see if that works but the sockets look fine right now.

I have a pair of Hunter ceiling fans that are 20 years old. In the past few years they have started to burn out bulbs in a few months. They always start by blinking intermittent blinking then they go out. I have taken down the light portion of the fan to see what might be going on. youtube...

I have the backhoe already, got it when I got the tractor. The ballast box was given to me, so I debate selling it or getting the 3 pt hook up to use it. I have the snow blower still on but with the large maple round the rear tire was slipping on the dirt road. I need to drop the snow blower...

I just added a log grapple to my L3800. I know I need good ballast to move log length. I have rim guard in the rear tires. Now the choice is ballast box with sand or B77 Backhoe. I would assume the backhoe would be better but how are the ballast boxes? Today I moved a large round to try out the...

No time at all to install it. Ran the 12v directly to the ignition. well worth it

Well I did end up buying the WR Long kit from EA. I'll see how long it takes me to install it

Thanks for the response. I emailed EA about the Kit to make sure it is a direct fit for my tractor. I think I am going with WR Long. If my Kubota dealer uses them I'll try it. Don't want to go cheaper and have it crap out. That usually is at the worst time or place.

I can't seem to find WR long 3rd valve kits for sale other than the Kubota dealer , and they want just over $1000 for one. Who sells them? I am also looking at Summit hydraulics and Lands Pride, Any one own one and use it often?

I am finally going to convert my L3800 to SSQA. The firs attachment I ordered was a log grapple. Now I am wondering if a diverter or 3rd function is better and the prices of them. Is there a Kubota Kit for a LA524 loader? I am getting the 2nd lever quick attach 2216 from the dealer cheaper...

When I got my tractor I got the pin on loader. Now years gone by I want to get a ssqa set up. I've seen them going for $ 1000 and up and that is more than I want to spend. Titan sells assqua conversion for $400 or so but they are JD only. I don't want to give them measurements to make one for...

Our back deck needs to be stripped of old deck over stain and re stained. Lots of the old stain is peeling up so I want to strip it all and wash/ prep it. Olympic has a well rated stripper as does Thompson but I can't find it any sore near us. the two box stores HD and Loews carry their brand of...

I have a old truck with a 8' old fisher plow. The truck isn't going but I want to take the plow off and salvage it. I want to cut it down to 6 feet and have it be a clamp on for my L3800 Kubota. How hard would it be to cut it with a recip saw or with cut off wheel on a circular saw? I am...

I have a small 110 powered electric fence for poultry. One side is the hot wire and the other is the ground. All the hot wire strand is on plastic insulators with nothing touching the chicken wire or anything else. The ground is good with 3 good earth grounds that never touch the hot side. I...

I am looking to get a plow that I could put on my loader and swap out fast. I found one at Bxpanded that looks good but are there others out there? Any one have any experience with Bxpanded plows? I love my 66" rear blower but today it was wet packed snow that clogged it and the bucket is great...

This is the second time this happened to me. I was out in the woods off our dirt road and I notice the tire is flat and the valve stem is gone. This is time #2, the 1st time I went to the local tire shop and got it fixed. This time was bad, off in the woods with a load of wood on the skid...

I have a walk out basement with a knee wall along the front . I can feel the cold air coming in. The construction is 2-4 framing with T 111 exterior, the inside has r 13 kraft faced insulation with 2" of foam insulation board with the rest of the basement with 1" foam board on the walls. Air...

i have a 13 hp lifan motor on my splitter that has run well until today. I finally hooked up the electric start. it was simple, they give you a red wire and clearly label where to hook it up. The black wire was another joke, from the battery to a crimp connector. So with it all wired up I hit...

I have a homemade chicken plucker that I built a few years ago I used a Marathon 3/4 hp farm duty motor from Tractor Supply. While moving firewood last winter the motor got hit and the start capacitor came off. There are 2 black wires from the motor, one is brass colored the other is silver. The...

Ok this may be nuts but her goes. I can get some large storm window glass sheets for free, but making them onto a green house? I know I can't cut tempered glass but how hard would it be to frame around it and use it? It sounds insane but I can get some free large storm windows. They are 3"-7"...

I have been having well issues for a week or so. I have the single phase 230 v 2 wire well pump. Last week it was not pumping when the switch came on for demand, pressure gauge was shot so I had no idea at what psi only way to tell was the switch kicking on and off but I had the full voltage...

I installed a Central Boiler furnace to heat with my propane boiler this year. My initial problem was I plumbed it in direct so the pump from the outdoor boiler was directly plumbed in with the house system. The problem was once the outdoor furnace shut off the system would siphon off. This was...

So it's good to know I am not the only one to have a wedge come off. My homemade splitter is a 13 hp with a 22 gal per min pump and a 5" cylinder. It was splitting fine until I had to try an oak log full of knots and twists :yell: I added a back up plate to mine and asked a Real Welder from...

I have a large volume return filter and even a pick up screen on the suction side. With my luck the tank cap would come off and something would be sucked up. I will try taking the valve apart to see what's up.

This is the first run for this. I am using it now but as said it is slow coming back, fine going forward. I could take the valve apart and see if I can find any stuff built up in there. As I said I had to flush it with PB Blast to get it to move. It sounds as if it struggles on return, engine...

I built a home made log splitter, 13 hp 22 gal per min pump with a 5" cylinder and a prince detent valve all 3/4" ports. The hoses are 1 1/4" intake and 3/4" all the rest.It splits well and the speed splitting is great but it does not go back on its own with the handle in the center and a slow...

I was out today moving some green split red oak today with my Kubota L3800. I had the bright idea or so I thought of putting it on skids with skids for the sides and back for portable firewood storage. I went to lift a skid and it would not lift it and the rear tires were coming up. I went with...

I am building a splitter and I have a 13hp motor, 22 gpm pump and a 5" cylinder. All my ports off the detent valve are 3/4", the pump has 1" ports. I looked at older threads here and I came up with 1 1/2" suction hose and 3/4" hose for everything else. If I use 1 1/2" hose and I use an adapter...

I am going nuts building a log splitter. I can't find what size and pitch bolts mount the pump to the motor. I have looked all over including the manual but no luck. It's a 13 hp lifan engine that is said to be a Honda clone. The owners manual is a joke to say the least.

Nothing exotic here but the PTO blower was the best money spent. I did not want a front mount, the FEL is a must have.

I just put on a 66" 3 pt PTO snow blower and I want rear lights for night. I found a good 14v power from the parking lights but I wonder if that would be blowing fuses?

I got chains up front and will be getting rear chains next year. Was going to be this year but the snow blower ate that $$ up. Well worth it, 2 passes and I was done!

I want to get chains for my 27x8.5-15nhs tires. I can find 4 linik and 2 link but I really want dual link without spending $400 or more. I want chains on the front industrial tires and I wonder if anyone has run 2 link on the front?

I am at 100 hours and my warranty is about to expire. Does anyone know the price of getting the extended warranty? I really question getting it, everything works so well and my hours are low. Just got pallet forks so moving firewood out of the woods is better, I even used the back hoe to lift a...

Anyone running front chains on their Kubota? I have a L3800 with rim guard in the rears. I haven't had allot of problems moving snow with the loader but a few times on some ice I went for a spin and moving back some banks on a downhill curve has had its moments. Can I run front chains without...

I have a home built chicken plucker I built last year. It has a 3/4 hp farm rated thermo overload motor on it. It had plenty of power before but last week we were offing 16 birds and only got to 10 because the motor on the plucker bogged down. It got so bad I had to spin the plucker plate to get...

Ok I searched this and saw a post saying to hit reply twice to get them but I do not get smileys, not in the quick reply or standard. What am I missing? I went to my home but did not see this.

I am looking for a good hand well pump. Nothing deep 14 feet or less. Lehmans has a brass cistern pump that is freeze proof that looks ok but I know there is a cheaper version of it someplace, I lost it from my favorites. This would be emergency back up drinking water.

Next spring I want to get a Box scraper. What size is good for a L3800? I want one to make a lawn, right now its rocks timothy and wild roses etc. Was going to do it this fall but I was afraid of the frost hitting soon, oh well I guess not.

My wife wants goats for milk. She wants Nigerian dwarf or boer for meat. So we live in Mass and I wonder what we need to keep them in the winter. I don't want to build anything expensive or big yet, she has never had them and what if she changes her mind. Also can goats and pigs get along?

I am finishing a driveway ditch job. I want to plant timothy and clover to green it up and give people some idea where the driveway edge is. I wanted to get some hydroseed mulch preferably with some fertilizer to mix or cover the seed. I don't want to rent a machine and I don't think any...

I am fixing drainage issues on my driveway and I dug up the entrance and exit of an old culvert underneath our paved driveway. It is packed solid with sand. It is too far from our house to get a hose up to it and flush it. I am debating getting threaded rod to push the sand out. I do not have...

I have a 1/4 mile driveway. We had it paved years ago due to wash outs. I have large burms right next to it that I am taking out so I can plow better and not have scrub roses scratch trucks and cars. So far I have a 2 ft wide path on side of the drive and a few push out spots for snow. The...

Ok I am new to my L 3800 tractor and I have used the back hoe once to fill in a trench for propane lines. There is a large stump from a Maple at our Church, I think it is like 15" round. I was asked to pull it with my backhoe once the ground thaws. So this may sound silly but how big of a stump...

I have a L3800 hydro stat and it is great. This fall I moved fire wood and the rear wheel was spinning I stopped pressed down the differential lock and it pulled out. I disengaged it before the drive way and used it a couple of times since then. Last snow I tried it and it did not want to go in...

I had been back an forth on what to buy, it was almost a 36 hp Mahindra but the sales guy was only there limited hours and forgot he saw me three weeks before and he raised the price $1000 and talked over me so that made it easy to buy a Kubota L 3800 with loader and Back Hoe. I got it On...

I am in the market for a new or decent used 4x4 tractor around 35 hp with a loader and hoe. I have not found any decent used ones so far or they are sold. Is there any place to go to checkout the new prices I have so far. Can you even play the price game like with trucks? So far the best price...
