Well, here in Lenoir, our Good Year Dealer does it - and fills them as well. But in your area . . . maybe call a couple of tractor sellers in your neck o the wood and ask them? Posting here, you're effectively asking thousands of folks spread all over heck and back where they buy their tires...

Yep, and we voted for every ******* man jack in Congress. It's a ***** living in a democratic republic. Ultimately its all down to us. And, it seems we suck at it somewhat.

I managed to do that during COVID. I did it by carefully documenting comparable properties' assessments relative to their recent sales. REALTORS (educated REALTORS, that is.) can be helpful as they've access to software designed to create lists of comparable properties and adjust for differences...

"Tractors are getting more costly every year" Duh! Such a woke observation!

Well, for five trips per year over a six year period, your 56K would earn: "For example, if you invest $1,000, the calculation would be A = 1000(1 + 0.04/1)^(1*6), which equals approximately $1,265.33. This means you would earn about $265.33 in interest over 6 years." So 6 times $256.33 or...

Hmm, they had their title to the trailer, right? They went to the seller and identified their trailer (SN/VIN, etc.) and called the Sheriff and State police and they refused to respond? Something doesn't sound right. A citizen can file a complaint - and they get a copy (if they ask) when they...

Sounds like a bright idea to me!

RIGHT - that's what I did, too. It was ON SALE @ RURAL KING for one fifty or so. Works just fine I've a Kubota B7800 and my stuff is five foot wide or (mostly) 4' ft. I benefited greatly with the 'bush hog' cutter - but it does GOUGE the ground more than I'd like. I suspect that I just don't...

Those little spring clips slide off - then the cylinder pops off the ball stud(s). If you stop into an auto supply store (or similar) they may have a package you can open to read the R&R instructions. Also, look for a YouTube on Removing Gas Operated Struts "To remove a gas-operated strut...

And the link to the crappy lawn rake?

Well, compared to what, exactly? Reading American History, one might fairly conclude that 'we' have always lived in 'strange times.' Then again, 'we' don't read American History. Even in school, we wind up reading textbooks about subjects - essentially the condensed versions of the condensed...

Given the obesity epidemic the world is witnessing, "a ton of people" is likely to average fewer than 10. As well, 'owner's manuals' are hardly the exceptionally well-written, easily fathomed tomes the fifty-thirty author (bereft of a SC App) implies. Nor are they all written, and or...

So, your think he's lucky?

Given the thickness of the materials involved I'd bet an Oxy-Acetylene welding torch would be required. But getting things RED HOT might screw up the parts unless you can temper them if needed - (not a blacksmith by a long shot, just thinking out LOUD). So, if time is on your side, smaller...

My vote is one of the safety switches. I've accidentally moved a lever getting on or off my Kubota more than once only to discover 'there's a safety switch' tied to that one, too!' If you're CERTAIN you know every one of them on your machine and checked each, next best guess for a sudden...

OK, my old bones and muscles (never anything to brag about) are proving inadequate to the task of starting this saw (after less than eighty years of use (me, not the five year old saw). I couldn't get it started last year and brought it it to have someone 'go over it' only to watch the fella...

The lack of 'sales associates' at Big Box Outlets is likely a function of the leveraged financing employed when Venture Capitalists bought a going venture (like Home Depot) and then began implementing cost cutting measures (e.g. DOGE for the private sector) that reduced staff (if not shrinkage)...

No, you could simply accept that the sum of my interactions with HFT outlets since the first appeared (in Florida) has been different than yours. We are simply two data points and each as valid as the other.

Bentrim: I would buy Craftsman (long before there was a HFT) when on sale and at their outlet stores for the Lifetime Warranty (Looks like I've out lived that one?). It does seem that Congress has caved to the corporate interests and, now, it seems 'everything's from elsewhere. Yet Broyhill...

I've got the cheapest set HF offered ten-12 years ago and have yet to break one. HFT really doesn't stand behind their stuff like Lowes or Home Depot. But, for regular home shop stuff, the quality is sufficient (has been) for me - one notable exception are their cheaper batteries! BTW - I have...

14.1 oz. Handheld Map-Pro Gas Cylinder - The Home Depot $14.97 Ideal for a variety of tasks that need higher heat than propane In-air flame temperature of 3,730 degrees Fahrenheit Compatible with a wide range of hand torches

How about a picture of what you're talking about? Is it mounted on the saw - or can you remove it to do the work? Brazing thin to thick (or vise versa) can be a bit difficult. Since you need to heat the material red hot +/- the thicker the material the more MAPP gas required and the kit tanks...

GOOGOL YOUTUBE for "benzomatic mapp gas brazing" I hit on a couple of good ones. Of course you can always go bigger - if you're into a lot of it, the price of those non-refillable tiny tanks will justify a set of PONY TANKS and torches ($295-$420 New Home Depot today). I could NOT find the...

Well, maybe 15' feet of wire?:p In light of the highlighted text in the OP's post, one wonders if the OP is as concerned for what it does to the operator and other things, breathing and not in the environment around and beyond, say, the intended target(s).:oops:

Duh! Call Chamberlain. Buy a new remote at Lowes, try it. If it works, keep it. If not take it back to Lowes for a refund - because it is an issue with the main (receiver) unit. In which case Chamberlain may offer a repair - or tell you to buy a new opener. Or, try a garage door forum?

The OP asked is "12 year old oil, any good?" The answer is an unqualified "Yes." Had he asked "Would it be good enough to use on a Mission to Mars?" Well, then the response has got to be "What fer?" ;)

Could have been. Which period are you referencing when you write 'back then?' The fact that land masses, once submerged, are no longer has more to due with shifting tectonic plates than temperature.

Not to beat a dead horse, but try and diagram the Syllogisms you've presumed, then taken issue with. I think you will find that, taken in context, each is valid. All oil is centuries old, his oil is twelve years old, his oil is not so very old at all. His oil was stored in a plastic...

After all plastic's made from oil - so birds of a feather?

My god man, do you know how long that oil had been in the ground before it was bottled?:rolleyes: Oil deposits formed over millions of years, with the majority of oil deposits forming during the Mesozoic era (252–66 million years ago): Paleozoic age 10% of oil deposits formed during the...

JUST TO CLOSE OUT THIS THREAD . . . It turns out that the fitting at the pump was loose. When I first put a wrench to it, that was soooo obvious! It turned so easily - it was loose! But, the hose turned along with it. Luckily, the wife was watching and said something to the effect of "Stop...

Don't agree with that logic. A 'homeowner' log splitter should be held to as high a standard as one designed for professionals. Tons of force are applied, that thing (20# Anvil) could have struck my wife in the face, crushed her arm or hand. It is difficult to tell how much PENETRATION the...

Well, actually, one does not need a lawyer in Small Claims Court. I once sued General Motors and A Chevy Dealer in Palm Beach County, FL appearing pro se and won. I did pay for a court reporter to get the attention of the judge. In this case, I don't know where the documents (receipt, etc)...

I suspect the vacuum doesn't 'suck crud.' Rather it provides just enough vacuum to counter any potential outflow from the hose or fitting one is separating. Having defended the idea, I must admit never having tried it.

I've a Kubota B7800 and never owned or operated any other tractor. In maneuvering the tractor recently to disassemble and (later) reassemble my Dirty Hands Brand Log Splitter (lifting of the heavy cylinder (w/o detaching the hydraulic hoses), then lifting off the I-Beam Splitter Post(?) and...

OK, I got the thing back together and split a large log into little pieces and, then checked the leaking fitting - it was leaking, of course. I got a wrench and prepared to apply all my aging muscle to torque that fitting tight. When I applied pressure to fitting C, it was loose and I started...

Doesn't this 'system' require another piece/part to allow you to use it 'offline?' Or is that the "Sync Module 2" that is mentioned in the description?

My apologies, I left out the ;)

So, that's a "no," yes?

I managed to dismantle the thing wo needing to disconnect the hydraulic hoses. Putting it back after the welding is done - well, knowing which fitting to turn on may prove essential! Thanks for the succinct feedback. Much appreciated. I'll try not to make a mess :)

OK, the reason Dirty Hands Brand is no longer literally 'popped up' this morning when the entire weld (24 =/- inches) let go all at once. Based upon the condition of the parts the weld was never done properly and there was no evidence of PENETRATION along the length of the break! So, I have to...

Yeah, but I'm too old to make a baby! Maybe the stuff for crotch rot woud do? ;)

Nicely done. Got any of that pipe left? ;)

Well, gravity, maybe. but that would likely result in a trail from a 'high point' to a lower one. Why not ask the dealer where the seal he will replace is? He should be able to point to it or show you a picture/diagram in the shop's repair manual. Surely his mechanic knows exactly where it...

Thanks again. I think I'll monitor the situation a bit, find the swivel connection (never thought of that - good catch) and attempt the repair after splitting enough to fill our cribs before the snow falls! Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the feedback. "leaking at the hex/crimp junction" Right, but it appears DRY above the threads. Wet at/around the threads and on the pump body below them. I'd hate to undo the hose and not be able to get it back in GWO - e.g. screw things up worse. Is 'leaking at the threads'...

OK, I'm real novice when it comes to these systems Never taken one apart, replaced a hose, etc. I have added Hydraulic Fluid to the HF Tank. I keep the thing indoors unless I am splitting wood. I have had it for four years? Maybe a couple more. I noticed a wet spot on the basement floor...

I drink hot coffee every day. Years ago I discovered that coffee keeps one warm in ways I'd theretofore never imagined. I had a 'tall' (16oz?) cup from 7/11 (back when 'refills were free' it paid to save your old 7/11 cups - I had some really old ones at ties). I'd brew the coffee McDonald's...

One of the first 'home improvements' I did was to build a 'barn/shop' with a concrete slab, insulated walls, ceiling and a metal roof. Designed so the tractor could fit in from the rear and a larger vehicle had access from the front With a 'man door' as well. And I only spent 12K on the...

Once in 1970 something I was headed North from Florida and decided to get an Oil Change in my '67 Opel Kadett 'L' on a Friday. When they put it up on the lift, they punctured the oil pan! They had to scramble to find a Buick Dealer with one in stock and wound up replacing it, changing the oil...

If you're not prepared to walk away, you deserve the 62% penalty! There is absolutely no reason to be jammed up over an Oil Change. It is not critical - give or take a couple thousand miles or a week or two. I like (the fella?s) suggestion that you fix your ramps somehow, then buy your oil...

You're correct - Great Pics! Saved me time popping that panel apart looking for a fuel gauge sending unit! D/l doc for another day - Old Boy Scout

Thank you. I replaced the battery last night and ran it today. I show an increase in voltage (measured across the battery posts) with a concomitant increase in RPM (before replacing the battery) so I am hoping the charging circuit is still functional. Time will tell, right? I would be...

B7800HSD (SUPPLEMENT), WSM WIRING DIAGRAM The generator Dynamo is directly connected to the IC REGULATOR I have not been able to find the location of this part on the other parts diagrams found so far. Nor can I find a KUBOTA Test Procedure for the Dynamo. I find the idea that a generator...

Hmmm, thanks. Seems too, too simple, but if that's the way to do it - I can manage. Thanks again.

I found a wiring diagram and it refers to a dynamo' not an alternator. A member volunteered: "The B7800 comes standard with the dynamo with a 13-14 amp output. "An alternator kit is/was available for about $200. "I believe the dynamo produces AC voltage. "Trouble shooting procedures should...

1. How can one tell if they have the 'dynamo' or teh alternator? 2. "Measured voltage at the tractor battery ..." How do you measure the charging voltage? Put a voltmeter across the battery terminals while @ 2,000 RPM? So, if the meter reads 12 volts when the tractor is not running the...

Thank you!

Boosted the battery and jump started the tractor ran it for an hour or so dragging large logs from the bottom to higher ground where I turn them into firewood. Put the tractor away and went out today to start it and it would not start. Before I run out and buy a battery, I'd like to know how...

Yes - I found a deal at Northern Tools and wound up getting a gift card for half the price of the seat - though it took some doing because I don't have a cell phone and I had locked my credit and it entailed getting a new Mastercard. The seat fit various machines - but all I cared about was...

Looks like there were four Error Code Messages. But that Exclamation Mark in RED might have meant 'SHUT ER DOWN FREDDY! Was it running went it burst into flames? Or had you shut the engine off?

I bought my Kubota USED maybe 16 years ago. Four years or more back, I had to replace them (I don't think they 'failed' but one was cut and would require a tube - something like that). What drove me crazy was that the front tires that came with the (4wd) B7800 were heavy lugged and I could not...

Wow! Someone looked it up! Everyone else hazarded a guesstimate. The three most important words one might share (if one must share) when one doesn't actually know for certain are "I don't know." Instead of "Just remove them and throw them away." These are also a most valuable response from...

"You will note that I did not assign blame. Operator error would fit." My apologies, I was responding to the general 'feel' of many of the anti-rops comments over the pages and pages of comments engendered by the guy driving into a tree and indicating it was a ROPS ISSUE. I had an uncle kill...

You blame the tree? You blame the ROPS? If you read the manuals, I suspect you'll find several points in them that remind you to "be careful." I would not be at all surprised to find advice similar to "Be aware of your surroundings," or "Watch where you're going" between the covers.

Great question! Never thought of that aspect - always assuming I'd do it at home with the tires mounted and on the Kubota. Good catch!

I would think it is dependant upon the avaialble battery storage. On my B7800 the battery's about the size of the one in my little SCOTT's 42" riding mower. No idea how much power the alternator on the Kubota can put out, but doubt it could power a 2000 Watt Inverter powering a 7.25" "Skill" saw.

And, I suspect, recharging the 40VDC Batteries can be done with a much smaller inverter while the first battery is in use, the second's warming up on the tractor.

Geeze! It did a great job! I can't see a snowflake anywhere!

Me, too! (& keep 'em clean as you can)

Wow! When I bought my Kubota B7800, one of the first things I did was store it out of the weather - in the basement first. Then in the 'barn' *** workshop via a pair of home made doors just a few inches wider than the tractor. Later a lean to built onto the one side of 'the barn' long enough...

Lucky you. But, don't cut your ROPS off because you hit a tree branch, just watch where you're going next time.

Couple of points. You can't trust Social Media It doesn't appear to be spewing out cut grass Farming accidents involving children are far more frequent than you might guess. You can't fix stupid. Stupid people vote, procreate and home school.

googol the dealer and post a review! Folks read them and dealers often respond trying to make it better. worth the time it took you to post here, right?

What has convinced you that that sub-compact tractors are built better and last longer? In my experience (Kubota) The dealers are fewer and further between and their labor and parts charges are "Outta State!" BTW, I have a Scotts here and a Craftsman at the other property - still going after...

I'm not clear on how a tractor or a skid steer 'builds' a two-story garage. Are you planning a monolithic foundation? For that the back hoe with the right size bucket would seem practical. You want to trench around the perimeter and to bury utilities from the house to the 'garage.' But, after...

I recall one Winter day in Korea when we were sent up to the DMZ in an open jeep (it was considered a hostile fire zone or some such and the no cover was the rule. Indeed I was sent up to photograph the men who had been killed in an ambush while they drove North in the back of a covered vehicle...

Dupont 5200 Marine Sealant - if it sticks to the tire it might last forever. Tough Stuff - and pricey. But, where is works it's wunnerful.

I dis agree! Itsa FEL - a Front End Loader. It is not a backhoe nor an excavator and is not intended for digging holes in the ground beneath the LOADER bucket. Pile up some gravel our a couple tons of sandy soil and you should be able to (as advised, above) dance your way to gathering a load...

Wow! I've a B7800 - never thought it was so tough! Good to hear, I guess.

Mine bolts to either side of the FEL Bucket. So a 48" bar in a 54" bucket's likely six inches shy of a full deck and will need some fabrication to hold it in place. Also, from my limited experience with my FEL, digging is not its forte/strong suite. Shoveling, maybe, but digging out stumps...

Well, you did not say it was 'advertised' as new. Was it? How did you come to believe it was a 'new' tractor? If the salesman misled you, you may have a case and absolutely have a case for promising them a lifetime (yours) of bad mothing that salesperson and dealer. Go in and talk to the...

I had a similar situation here in NC and found opinions varied, to put it kindly. In response, considering the price of rock, I contacted the state roads people since they wind up maintaining roads as well as building new roads (paved and otherwise). Turns out, they are civil servants and have...

What about Diesel Fuel?

Right.The chain is slid under the log, brought up around it and hooked to itself - forming a noose. "Tunneling" under the log, when it's flat on the ground is often accomplished by sliding a branch where you'd like to put the chain. The sma diameter of the flexible (green) branch makes it...

Yes, that is called anecdotal information. Collect enough, verify details, add missing details, organize it logically and you've a potentially valuable database. One thing about us humans is that we are generally unaware of what we are unaware of, tend to operate within the parameters of our...

"So why is it that a compression ignition diesel engine can tolerate the very lean condition at low throttle settings?" Was what I read.

OK, I'll bite. What's a sling choker? Anything like a Henway? ;)

Looks doable. I've been using the arm for the post hole auger. I use some 1/4 on 5/16 chain to drag logs about with the 4 x 4 and found I can 'thread' it trough the hole meant to hold the auger in place and lift an end and drag the log - up hill so far ' to where I section and split them. I am...

Reminds me of that Old RR quote "I've only had a few concussions and I'm here to help":love:

Yep! That's teh one I went in to purchase three weeks ago. The clerk said that, If I applied for a Norther Tool CC I could get $70 of my first purchase of $100 but I had LOCKED my credit years ago and could not apply then. So I figured I'd see how difficult it would be to unlock my credit. Hd...

Wow! What size fireplace do you have?

Wow, interesting objective. Why is that? I cut down fifty foot trees, trim the branches off, cut the trunk into 10-12' lengths and drag them with my 4x4 ATV to a nice flat area near the firewood crib (for 3 cords you'll need a crib about 26' x 4.5' x 4.5' with access round the ends and front...

I've found several that say they fit Kubota tractors, but, drilling down into the details cannot find B7800 anywhere (save for some 'universal' seats with a plastic base and nutserts to olt it to the tractor). Black Talon Highback Kubota Tractor Seat — Black, Model# 530000BK Looks as if it...

So, where is the sending unit on a B7800?

1. Jump the + to the + on the solenoid - that should turn the engine over if teh starter works. (KEY OFF - so it doesn't start while your heads in the way of a ving part!) If it turns over, it is a connection from battery to Solenoid or a bad solenoid. 2. Pull the pickup truck and tray...

I would like to know the source for this quotation. Was it in one of his letters to John Adams? To James Calendar? His papers are at the Library of Congress so a citation should not be difficult to provide. Or are we talking hearsay? For the record I Googol'd it and could find no such citation...

Wow, I was expecting some sort of crimping would be required. How many lbs is something like this 'good for?'

As I saw with the first response "Chain" When I started cutting trees for firewood years ago my neighbor showed me a chain with hooks on either end. The links are about an inch and a half long and (guessing) 3/16" diameter. I use 1/2" hooks from Harbor Freight tools. I used it with my...

Anyone know where to look to see why it's not reporting as one might expect? And, is there a way to search this thread that I'm missing?

I bought my first echo cs400 eight years ago? I took it to a local shop for a carb replacement his year and its running all right again. Next time, I'll try replacing the carb myself first! Then the ground lead broke - I think the repair guy did it as the grommet's missing as well. Had the...

And who do you see as the royal monarch in this scenario? We had home grown insurrectionists attempt to overthrown our government - the deadliest (in terms of American lives sacrificed) of all our (other) wars combined. We went through reconstruction, the KKK and strange fruit down south and...

Hmm, a proposal, eh? How does a proposal direct anyone to do anything? Who wrote that piece? If it works out by then it will confirm my. oft quioted, long standing presumption that "I'll be dead before I get fifty mpg!"

"When government runs off all the cows and cattle" Wow, when'd 'they' do that? Did they use the Space Lasers? I thought they were all about abortion, stacking the courts with religious zealots, and blaming everything on immigrants (which, given the history of America, might make sense since...

You would need to see the arrangements the dealer has with the brand(s) on his lot. I could well be that he has a deal with the lines he offers based upon his advertising such declarations as caused you to copy it and start a conversation here. Branding is generally 'the cow's spouse's...

Funny, we are in a thread about what we've run over with our trailing mowers and brush hogs and everyone seems to have a story about what they've hit, or thrown, etc. So, it seems more common than not. The rabbits story is most interesting as they (well, the ones in our neck o the wood) seem...

RIGHT - hence the need for an investigation. Preferably before relatives were allowed to come collect bits of her bones and teeth from the scene. I suspect the picture they had of her was not taken shortly before she died. It is sad how humans can fall from grace so easily in our 'civilized'...

DON'T TELL 'EM ANYTHING except "My roof is damaged and needs repair/replacement. No idea what happened - send your adjuster and checkbook." They record all calls (IME) so don't volunteer information - you're not an expert, you're a policy holder.

That's what MTG thought

I've heard of something called HEAT LIGHTENING - so maybe 'out of a blue sky?" But lightening, as I understand it, seeks the HIGHEST POINT, seeks the GROUND, and lightening RODS are made of metal. With that in mind is it possible there was some sort of twister? Or, if electrical, what was...

Love they way they attach the chains!

Wow, yet another style of 'bush hog.'

Those little chains 'round the edges are 'new to me' and an interesting feature. I also noticed the lack of a wheel on the back. I'd assumed 'they all had one.' Live and learn. Thanks for sharing the video ;)

Googol'd you post title and go a million answers: https://www.google.com/search?q=How+to+get+a+pasture+to+bare+dirt&oq=How+to+get+a+pasture+to+bare+dirt&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l2.3694j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Best I can determine the answer is "It depends."

It's likely situational. But he best people to ask are the folks you see doing it that way. Good chance they'd know the answer.

Well, did you have a written contract? Did the contract contain one or more images of what you expected? Did this fellow have references? Did you visit any of his references for exposed aggregate jobs? Have you paid him? (If so, why!) I've had fellows promise this and deliver that - but they do...

Why not run a circuit using the 6/3 from the box in the garage to the outlet for whichever welder you get? I did 8/3 (about fifty feet to my garage) and run an old Tombstone w/o issue. But, I learned later that I should have run 6/3 cover my bases. Running 6/3 to the shop, then running an...

Ah, yes. But that's the point of such lists. You trade your time and think its a free thing. Kids aren't the only ones 'hooked.'

Now, that's an impressive tool! Where did you get the design? Specs? etc?

PATS Quick Attach for my 4-point hitch ($160 @rural King a couple years ago) and nearly ten years after I bought the tractor and learned the many ways to skin knuckles attaching this, that or the other.

Could be he's not recently priced 1/2" Cu? ;)

Can you ask whoever sent it to you? Hopefully you asked "does it work" before paying for it ;) Now, ask "how does it work?" Better late than never, no?

That's a gloat, no?

Ah, that's the way to do it! Who knew? Thanks

It's no different than Lunch in that "There is no Free Tractor." How seriously were you 'thinking about a tractor services business?' Did you draft a business plan yet? Do you know the cost of the liability insurance for instance? Would your existing insurance on your 150 be voided if you...

I've a 4' Yellow 'bush hog' type (Maybe Tractor Supply) and never (10 yeas in +/-) even looked at the blades much less sharpened them. My excuse is they are hard to see . . . How does one get a look at them? How often do folks replace them? Or sharpen them? How would I go about sharpening...

If they sold you the wrong blades, return them for a set that fit.

I taught mine to change a tire at night to prove she was ready to drive on her own - didn't want her stuck and dependent on the "nice guy" that pulled over when he saw her waving cars down.

Right, but that atv costs more than my truck! ;) And, with a short wheelbase on my CanAm 330 and a log splitter with no 'steering wheel' to 'center' your hand on . . . But the idea of getting off the public highways to practice is highly recommended. I taught one of my wives to drive stick...

IS MF standing behind the machine? There is an implied warranty of suitability for intended use at law and the location of this obvious fault of manufacture would likely sway a judge to rule that your failure to notify during the warranty period is not material. I sued GM years ago for a...

"a toxic, colorless, volatile flammable liquid alcohol, originally made by distillation from wood and now chiefly by oxidizing methane."

Well, in my case, i have been able to turn the shaft connected to the implement by hand (bush hog, mower deck, post hole auger) and never knew any better - maybe because I was born in Queens with Trump and never owned a farm implement 'till I bought the Kubota and it's attendant implements and...

Did you call and ask what all was involved in the item described as "Set up load tires?" Likely that dealer would know what he meant better than 'the crowd.'

"systematic chemical name for formaldehyde" Really? "It is also known as methanal, methylene oxide, oxymethyline, methylaldehyde, and oxomethane. Formaldehyde is naturally produced in small amounts in our bodies. It is used in the production of fertilizer, paper, plywood, and urea-formaldehyde...
