    Multirotors / Quadcopters / otherwise known a DRONES

    First off let me say if this is the wrong area just move it to where you feel best. I have posted up a few videos I have shot from my multirotor and have gotten quite a few comments on them that I figured there might be enough interest in these flying machines to start a thread....if not it...

    My joystick was floppy

    Yesterday I noticed that my loader joystick has lost some of its stiff-ness. It would just flop back and forth it was not acting the way it usually did. I have had other people playing with my tractor lately and they had also had their hands on my joystick.....even the neighbor girl commented...

    Working that backhoe HARD.

    Question....a few weeks ago I spend the day digging up trees. On the few times I took a rest that backhoe cylinder was pretty darn hot.....hot to where it would not burn me, but I did not want to leave my un gloved hand there for a long time. Is this causing damage....I think that the heat...

    A new life....

    Back story?(hay it is me you know the email has to be wordy) Wife is brush hogging about a month ago. In an area of our property we are trying to take back from nature. In some about calf high grass she hits a nest. At least 2 eggs are destroyed by the mower, 4 survive. She then runs to the...

    Filling tires on the BX

    I am only really thinking about this because I am working in areas with black locust trees. And those thorns. I think those thorns have armor penetrating ability. Anyway. I know it will make the tractor more heavy. This machine is also used for mowing. Now I mow a field, and have a...

    I like it Smooth (bumpy yard)

    We have decided to stop bailing our property and now it is really going to be one big yard. The only real bad part of this (aside from fuel costs to keep it nice) is the land is VERY BUMPY. It was a pasture at one time, but now it has been my front and back "yard" for about 20 years....but you...

    Gravel cleanup (driveway/parking areas)

    Not really sure how to ask this, in front of my shop, my barn, and the driveway we get grass/weeds that grow up in there. I have tried everything I can think of from Roundup to burning, and it always always comes back. This is one thing that just drives me bonkers...pet peeve of mine, I love...

    Tool Box for BX25D

    Trying to figure out a place to put a tool box on this little thing. I just can't seem to find a spot, or box for that matter that seems to work. I generally use old ammo cans for boxes on tractors, they are easy to get into, have a good seal on them and come in different sizes. Any...

    Grading  Front loader use questions.

    Most of you guys know I am new at this.....so forgive me if this is a silly or stupid question. On the front loader on my machine you can make it push down hard enough to lift up the nose of the tractor. I just got this ratchet rake thingy (see day in the life thread, driveway maint. in...

    A day in the life of a Kubota BX25D

    Well I have had the little machine a grand total of 4 days, Machine arrived with 3.8 hours on it and now (IIRC) has 9.6. So far it has been a source of great fun and has done things I would have never been able to do by hand. We dug up a stump that had been near my shop that the wind had taken...

    Its all 4shorts fault!!!

    That I bought a BX25D. Hope it to deliver next week. Well I can't say it is all his fault....some others had a hand in it. I see the work that he has done with the machine, and the work of others (one guy with a YOUTUBE id of kubotabx25d) really swayed me. That and I really do like the idea...

    Grapple for BX or JD1025r

    In the market for one of these two machines....it will be one of these two. I would like a grapple on it and really like the looks of the Land Pride SGC05. Moving brush, picking up RR ties will be a big ongoing job for this machine....whatever it ends up being. In looking over the Land Pride...

    Big tractor syndrome

    I admit I am kinda a noob at this tractor thing.....I have lived in the country for 16 years, own ~13ac that is a mix of pasture terraced, pretty heavy wooded areas, swampy areas that do not drain well, and some steep hills in the back part of the property....a little bit of everything. I...
