    Anyone heard of Lone Star trailers?

    I’ve been looking for a deck over trailer to use to haul rolls of hay. I was looking for either a PJ or Big Tex 18’ or 20’ tag along but seems like nobody has one locally. Today I stopped at a farm equipment dealer and he had a used 2006, Lone Star brand, 18’ deck over, tag along, dovetail with...

    Added a basket to ROPS

    I'd bought front and rear baskets a few years ago for the ATV but decided I really didn't need them on the ATV. So I decided to use the smaller one on the M7060 ROPS to carry anything that will fit in it, a cooler with water, Gatorade, etc. when working on the other side of the property. Pretty...

    M7060 brush guard

    I've been clearing off fences and moving a lot of brush over the last few weeks. Last week after getting back to the shed I noticed that I had mashed in my front grill. Luckily nothing was broken and I got it popped back out with the aid of a rubber mallet. As soon as I finished for the day I...

    Befco landscape rake?

    Anyone have any experience with Befco landscape rakes? I'm wanting something that's heavier duty than King Kutter or the one from TS. Just about everything around here is made for smaller tractors, 40hp or less. I'll be using it on a M7060 Kubota and want something that will hold up to pushing...

    Chainsaw vise

    I had some scraps laying around and made this chainsaw vise. Set it on the tailgate, ground, bench, etc. Holds the saw steady when sharpening chains. Works great.

    Kubota M7060 broke- Need help!

    My M7060 is an open station with a 4 speed transmission with high/low range. (8 speed) The problem is that a bolt came out of the linkage that connects the high/low range shifter to the linkage to the transmission. There are 2 bolts on that connection, 1 is gone and the other is loose. The way...

    Cutting trees with imbedded woven wire fence

    This winter I want to start replacing about 2000' of old rusty fence. Along the fence there are places where trees/ bushes have grown around the wire. Originally the woven wire fence was put up onto clean ground, using new posts and no wire was nailed to any trees. I can cut the trees high...

    Tree puller question

    I have trees growing in 1/2 mile long fence line and Im going to clean it up. I want to cut them down with the chainsaw but the fence runs along the highway. I can't let them fall in the road and can't let them fall back across the fence. The trees range in size from saplings to 8" in diameter...

    New Echo 501p

    A big gum tree had fallen into the pasture a couple weeks ago. This past Saturday was dry and pretty enough that I cut it up and moved all of the debris to a gully with the tractor and grapple. The job was uneventful and everything went well except for the fact that my 30 year old Husky 61 just...

    Hydraulic post driver

    My 120 acre farm is in need of a major fence overhaul and I'm thinking of investing in a 3 point hydraulic post driver for my M7060. I already use a post hole auger and it works great but the holes still need to be filled and tamped. That takes a lot of time and to be honest tamping takes it's...

    Fuel tank stickers?

    I'm in the process of getting my 100 gallon diesel transfer tank and pump ready for use. The tank will be located in my tractor shed and only be on the truck when I go to fill it. What kind of warning stickers are you guys using on your tanks and how many? Thanks

    Titan 1810 Mower

    I thought I'd post a pic of my new 10' Titan Implement twin spindle brush cutter. Picked it up Saturday at Southern Farm Supply in Union Grove, NC. I had called ahead a couple days before and it was ready for pickup when I got there. They loaded it sideways with the tail wheels flipped over on...

    Kodiak Mower opinions?

    I already have a 6' bush hog that was bought last year but clipping 40-60 acres of pasture twice a year, 6' at a time takes way too long. I've been reviewing the Kodiak 8' - 10' lift type rotary cutters and have found most reviews to be positive. I looked at them last year at Agri Supply and...

    Coupler bracket

    My M7060 3rd function came with 1/2" ag couplers which were mounted on a nice bracket on the loader. My grapple and L3600 had 3/8" couplers. To make both tractor hookups the same I swapped over the L3600 and grapple couplers to 1/2" ag plus added a bracket to my L3600. Adding a bracket to...

    Fence repair

    The creek got up and washed out the fence that has given problems for a long time. The gate is closed, no cows on this side of the pasture. I just took my time, cleaned out all the bushes, debris, old wire, bent posts, etc. and repaired it the best I knew how. Maybe it'll hold up until the next...

    M7060 loader question

    I've had my M7060 for a couple months and it only has 30 hours on it. The other day while using the FEL and bucket I noticed that the loader would not lift the tractor's front end off the ground. Example- With the bucket sitting flat on the ground and pushing the joystick to the right, the...

    New Kubota M7060 loader issue

    Since tomorrow is a holiday and my dealer will be closed I thought I'd ask here. My tractor has less than 20 hours but it maybe a simple fix. I had used the loader the last couple weeks to move 5x5 round hay bales and everything seemed fine however the only thing I was doing was moving/...

    1 grapple for 2 tractors. Is one available?

    I've used a EA Wicked 50 grapple on my Kubota L3600 for the last several years. It has performed flawlessly on just about everything and is still in excellent condition. I now have an additional tractor, a 70 hp Kubota M7060HD and would like to sell the EA 50 as to have only one grapple to share...

    New M7060 delivered!

    Well the day finally arrived. My new M7060 was delivered this morning. It has the LA1154 loader, standard bucket, 3rd function valve and canopy. All I can say about it is, wow! Compared to the Ford 4630 that I traded in it's like a Cadillac. I removed the bucket and hooked up the 6' Bush Hog...

    Hay spear question?

    I'm getting a new tractor next week and will need a new quick attach hay spear to move round hay bales. My old tractor has a spear that is a pin on type so I can't use it on my new tractor with the SSQA. That leaves me with having to get a new spear. My old tractor had 1 long spear and 2 short...

    What size Kubota for round bales?

    I'm currently using a 25+ year old Ford 4630, 55-60 hp, 2 wheel drive, gear transmission to move 5x5 round bales of hay. Someone else bales our hay so I'm not using it to run a mower or baler. The tractor is used for transporting the bales from the field to the barn and stacked 2 high. It's...

    Added a rifle rack

    I've had the opportunity to take shots at ground hogs or coyotes while brush hogging but never have the rifle with me so I decided to carry it on the tractor. I was going to make something but saw this rack after a TBN search. I had the perfect place to mount it and it holds my little Model 7...

    Thanks for all the pics of ways to store your chains. Picked up a short piece of steel square tubing earlier this week at the salvage yard and bought a couple of flange bolts today. I already had some flat steel for the bottom and Kubota orange paint. ( Doesn't match) A couple hours later...

    Dedicated Carry-All setup for fencing?

    I have an old carry all that I haven't used in years since I got my FEL. I'm thinking about setting it up for a dedicated fence repair carry all and thought some of you guys might have pics of one similar to what I'm wanting to do. I'm just basically going to have a solid back with a shelf to...

    Pole saw?

    I've been kicking around the idea of getting a gas powered pole saw. I have around 35 acres with 18 of those in planted pines. My regular saws work great for the limbs that I can reach but some are just too high. A pole saw would help keep the perimeter cut back for easier access with the...

    Hobart Handler 190 opinions

    I've been wanting a wire welder for sometime, just to weld thin steel from 16 gauge up to 3/16, like what's used on brush hog decks, covers, tubing, etc. It's hard for me to use my Lincoln AC/DC stick welder on that thin stuff. All of my welding will be done outdoors using flux core wire...

    Filling gaps

    My dad's tractor loader bucket is worn thin on the bottom rear and is rusted/pitted pretty bad. He picked up two pieces of 1/4" X 6" steel that I welded to the inside of the bottom of the bucket. The scrap yard cut the pieces of steel 1/2" too short and there's a 1/4" gap on both ends from the...

    Ford 4630 Steering Problems

    My dad has a 4630 that is about 20 years old and it has given him great service until now. Just recently the steering has been giving some trouble. When turning the steering wheel the front wheels won't move even though you are still turning the steering wheel. Then it acts like something...

    Maximum cylinder extension?

    I put a Kubota SSQA on my Kubota LA680 loader last year. Kubota didn't offer a SSQA to fit my loader but one that fit another model fit without any major mods. The only downside to the install was that I lost some of the dump angle but the rollback angle is great. I'm thinking about moving the...

    Kubota L3600/LA680 hydraulics problem. Need help

    >First a little background- Within the last few months I've done a few things to my Kubota... 1. The FEL had always felt a little weak. I bought a gauge and checked the pressure at 2200 psi which was lower than the factory psi of 2498psi. I added 1 #10 SS washer which brought it up to...

    WildKat 48" Econo Grapple

    "The Thumb" on bucket or forks?

    I've got some kind of a grapple on my mind and I've searched and read a ton of comments on grapples over the last week. "The Thumb" looks like a good bang-for-the-buck grapple to those of us that can't justify spending the money on a full grapple. I have both a bucket and pallet forks but...

    Kubota hydraulic connector?

    SSQA Attachment Plate fit?

    I just installed the Kubota skid steer adapter to my Kubota loader. So far the only attachment I have to check the fit is a blank SSQA plate which I'm going to weld onto my pallet forks this weekend. Before welding I wanted to check the fit. When I sit the blank plate on the adapter it doesn't...

    I had been wanting to make the switch to some type of quick attach for my loader for some time. The only problem was that Kubota didn't offer a specific quick attach for my LA680 loader. Then member "ehb86" posted his thread about his experience with the SSQA and his LA681 loader. He had...

    Anybody heard of ALO?

    I'm changing my Kubota L3600 loader over to SSQA. Instead of of modifying my original bucket I decided to just keep it and buy a new SSQA bucket. Today I went to a local farm equipment dealer and he had a few new ALO buckets for sale that he recently picked up. He told me that ALO is in...
