I think if I were heating with firewood and cutting every few days or something I would go Stihl..... But, I have an Echo 4910 for my 20" saw. It is light weight, seems plenty powerful for what I do and most importantly it starts right away every time I need it. I really like it for the...

Hello Does anyone know the torque spec on the 26mm "banjo bolts"* for where the hydraulic lines connnect to the control valve? * not sure if that is what they're called. That is what we usually say for brake calipers.

Very cool! I want to do that seat mod in my car. :)

Snowblower isn't fast really but it is awesome.....especially with the narrow, long, gravel driveway where you just run out of places to pile the snow. It just chugs away shooting the snow out into the woods. I have a driveway like that and using the bucket takes way too long. I use a plow...

I have a bxpanded plow and I really like it. I use it for the typical 6" snowfalls that we have. It is quick and convenient. For the 12"+ snowfalls I use the Kubota PTO Snowblower. It is slow but awesome. The plow gets a workout on my 1/4 mile driveway. I do have the shoes to keep it from...

Here it is. Around 480lbs of concrete and pieces of steel tubing for carrying items. The rectangular one is for towing chains, the large shallow circle is for gloves and ratchet straps etc.. and the small long tube is for shovels or rakes. I also embedded u-bolts for future use...

Okay so I'll use soil not gravel to re-shape the front yard. I live a long way down in the woods ( by CT standards anyway) so a lot of water heads down hill toward my house. I hope that this one is because of grading but since buying this house I've found a number of wet areas that are failed...

My front yard has this area that always floods and I want to fix it this spring. I think I will dig up the top soil from the low spot and add gravel under it to raise it up. Then along the edge of the woods create a swale or shallow trench of some kind to keep water from going to that puddle...

I really like all the ideas on this forum about ballast box mods. I will probably fill mine with concrete now but I'm worried about rusting from the inside out. Before I get started my plan is: spray any bad spots with rust killer ("extend"?) ,then paint the inside with liquid galvanizing spray...

What is the right way to tilt a landscape rake with gauge wheels? Do you simply adjust the wheels to different heights? Do you adjust the three point? Or do you adjust a combination of both? I've learned quite a bit from all the threads about driveway maintenance and landscape rakes but I...

I'm getting close to the 400 hours on my B2320 DT. I'm nervous about the transmission/hydraulic fluid change. I like to do everything myself on all my vehicles as much as possible. But, I'm almost thinking about sending it to the dealer for this. Changing oil on a vehicle means quarts but this...

I like it! What is this "Quoth the Raven..." thing? Edgar Allen Poe? The Simpson's Halloween Special? Some inside joke? Competition can be fierce. Watch out for Plowking

Around here it seems like any fool with a pickup truck puts on a plow and then suddenly ....is important. No, seriously, if it isn't too much trouble would you mind just angling your plow a little bit so that the rest of us can get down the road safely when you're coming toward us?:mad: I'm not...

I thought I'd post some photos of modifications to my Kubota B2320. Although these are not nearly at the level of what other TBN members post, I believe that I've had a few good ideas. To start I added this piece to the ballast box...

I cracked the headlight on my Kubota. It didn't look all that bad. I figured I'd just replace the broken light. Well, I called the...

I ended up putting on the snowblower tonight after all. My neighbor was stuck. His driveway hadn't been plowed and I looked at the 18" of heavy snow and was afraid to attempt it all at once with my little tractor and a plow. I started mine in the morning and plowed a few times today. I had...

The weather in Eastern CT. was going be an inch of rain/slush. Last night it became 3-6" of snow. This morning it looks like 6"+ and it's still coming down. I already took off my tire chains and rear snowblower. :ashamed: We'll see how this goes. Maybe I'll have to re-arrange the shed and...

A few years ago we had two feet of snow and with my small tractor a rear blade and FEL were just not enough. "Huge" amounts of snow combined with my narrow 1/4 mile gravel drive was a nightmare. This time I was ready for the 30" . Kubota rear mount snowblower (w/ modified wider skid shoes)...
