I'm not sure why you would hold that against him? Sounds like he was just letting you know they screwed up, but not saying he wouldn't honor the agreed upon price. My company got the contract for an alarm system at a public school (we had all the schools in the area). When I reviewed the...

I'm a little more "proper"maybe not bold enough, but I told my adult son, when a female scammer calls, to breath heavy and ask what color panties are you wearing? He did that and the lady said leopard print . . . it was a survey, so he went ahead and answered her questions after that.

At the time, prolly 7 years ago, I was PO'd with the company that owned the tank. So asked them for a price to buy it so I could shop for propane pricing. I foolishly didn't shop around for tank pricing either! That, and at the time didn't realize it was a 350, rather than a 500 gallon. So...

Just going by what the ad said. At a minimum you missed one size, I had a 350 gallon at my previous house. Belonged to the propane company, I bought it from them in place (which price wise, was a mistake).

Just checked Craigslist here, NV near Lake Tahoe, and the only thing on there is a rather dogged out, rusty 480 gallon for $700 over in CA.

Not meaning to be argumentative, but that seems a very short payback time, even considering recent energy cost increases. A quick search . . . "According to a study by Consumer Reports, the payback period for tankless water heaters can range from 12 years to 27.5 years, with electric models on...

My, then two year old, 1000 gal underground tank had a leak. Company that installed it couldn't find the leak, so I purchased an electronic leak detector (not all that expensive). I found the leak was at the bottom of the combi-valve (the combination valve that comes up near the surface etc.)...

Again, I think you have the ball on this one. IF they abandon the tank, it doesn't remain their property . . . it becomes yours. I wouldn't offer them a dime more than what you offered already. I'd play hardball and call their bluff. It doesn't seem it would make economic sense for them to pull...

Yeah, that's nuts. Like I said, try to line up a tank (even a rental), then call their bluff. Offer them $1K to buy it or tell them they can pull it and you expect the ground to look perfect when they're done (no holes). Depending on how much gas you use, I suggest a big enough tank to take you...

Hi coaster, If that rental is and in-ground tank, as you wrote, they sure's heck don't want to come and pull it. I'd say you have them over a barrel of sorts and you're holding the cards. Around here, they won't put a rental in-ground, if you want one in the ground you have to buy it. (Mine is...

What's the problem? The don't have a backhoe and a welder? :D

It's probably universal that companies will not fill rental tanks that are not theirs. I gather most states require the propane company to safety check appliances before the first time filling an "owner" tank. They've never asked to do that twice, as a group of neighbors here typically shop...

There's probably good reason, as that is no doubt a high pressure gas line which something like 500 to 1,400 psi. Pretty sure to get it down low enough for residential distribution requires a bank of regulators. Not likely they're gonna do that for a ranch house. My underground tank has buried...

I'd be very surprised if they'd come out an pull an inground tank. It would cost them way more to excavate to remove it than the used in-ground tank is worth. Around here (Douglas County, NV) no one would even install a rental in-ground. You want it in-ground, you buy it and install it, (which...

My dealer confirmed the above info. The bad news is the regional Kubota guy told them that the extended coverage is only going forward starting at the date of the policy change. They are refusing to reimburse me for mine since it occurred after the 5 year warranty and before the "change in...

No fraud. I bought my 3350 in Nov. 2013. When I took it in for the DPF replacement last year with 880 hours, it was 7 years old and no longer under the 5 year emissions warranty. Dealer, Smith Valley Garage, has a solid reputation. He was charged for the parts by Kubota, installed them and...

SDT, Thank you so much for this info and your follow up . . . never met you, but you's my friend!! When I had my DPF replaced, about a year ago, there was a post on one of the forums that the warranty had been extended 5 years. We checked, and found that was not the case. This, though, sounds...

Thank you! I'll check with my dealer again. Before I had the work done, I asked about any extension - they checked and got back to me with a "NO". Can you point me to a Kubota source on the extension? They still may deny a refund, but a definitive source would surely help. bumper

I went through the DPF and sensors replacing drill last year on my 2013 3350 at about 880 hours. Cost right around $6K which adds about $5 in operating costs per hour. What a rip-off. Speaking of rip-offs, a friend of a friend is wondering if the various DPF emulators are that? Of course this...

Still thinking about the augers, that's a toughie. 2nd picture in post one of this thread shows the chute ends of the blower housing liner. The housing liner was the most difficult part of the job. It failed the other day, tearing at the acute angle where it goes from chute to housing. It had...

Judgement call. Here's the quick fix I used to get it running until the new switch arrives (we should get more snow this weekend and I'm spoiled by the front blower). This is on a B3350 which no doubt is the same switch as the 2650. I removed the switch from the bracket, letting it hang down...

No, that isn't the way these springs work. I've lived here 15 years and they never dry up. Flow fluctuates some seasonally, but that's it. The water comes to the surface over a broad area. Due to organic material, sludge built up over hundreds or thousands of years, the soil is like a big sponge...

I have a couple of artesian springs coming out of slopped ground near the base of a mountainside on a 20 to 25 degree slope. The water seeps out of the saturated ground across a broad area. Probably a hundred years ago, ranchers dug a series of "tree branch like" collection ditches that fan out...

I have a front mount 5' on my B3350 cab. Lining the chute and blower housing with UHMW-PE netted an increase of perhaps 20% throw distance - and pretty much eliminated clogs. I get 40 feet (measured) worst case, and as much as 70 feet (estimated) with good snow.

First, consider instead being more careful, or smarter than me and avoid breaking the door glass. My mistake: 6 weeks our of back surgery, wife wanted me to use tractor w/forks and pallet to lift lift her to prune some apple trees. Not motoring along at 100% but that's little excuse. I opened...

We're doing what we can to encourage them to "Do the right thing", but clearly we are dealing with a recalcitrant bird here.

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (or UHMW PE for short) is the strongest long chain polymer plastic available. It is also blessed with a coefficient of friction that rivals Teflon. Thus it is particularly suitable for high wear and abrasion applications where slippery is good too! Snow...

I have a newer Country Line (TSC) landscape rake. While picking up some rock with FEL, I managed to back into a tree with the rake, twisting one side of the tine bar so the tines are forward and lower on that side (the main C channel is still about level but torqued maybe 20 degrees of rotation)...

Out mowing a meadow and the cab started getting a lot warmer. Come to find out that even though I'd been cleaning the radiators with compressed air and water hose, the AC radiator was mostly clogged with fine chafe that looked for all the world like the aluminum fins. I'll be making a spray...

The service manual spec for the relief valve on my Kubota B3350 is a max pressure of 2450 psi. I added shims to adjust from 2050 (as delivered) to 2500 psi. This measures the same at both front loader quick connect and at backhoe power beyond. When a control is held open and a cylinder goes to...

As delivered new, the bottom dipper stick pin (the one that goes through the mechanical thumb pivot, the bucket holes, and the bottom most hole in the dipper stick) was quite difficult to remove or reinstall when changing buckets. I should have inspected it more carefully, but wrongly assumed...

I named this thread "info and hints", as I'd like it to cover more than just problems. Just got my new B3350 yesterday :). Impressive machine with a lot to like, more glass than a PopeMobile . . . the cab is excellent, though being "walled off" from the world with glass will take some getting...
