    Trac Vac PTO RPM problem. Advice requested/

    Thanks Road. Once I settled down and started doing some math, this seems like less of an issue. The 854 uses 4 pulleys whereas the 856 uses 2 - no big deal. If I keep the largest pulley coming off the gear box, I just need to buy 3 more and 2 belts. If I feed in 960 rpm from the pto, it...

    Trac Vac PTO RPM problem. Advice requested/

    All, I made a huge mistake and will likely learn a hard lesson but just in case... I own a Kubota B2320HST Last weekend I bought a used Trac Vac model 854 which runs off a Cat 1 3PH spinning at 540 RPM to make 3800 RMP at the impeller blade. It totally slipped my mind that with the mid PTO...

    Front Snow Plow - To hydro or not.

    Thanks all for the replies. FatTire, I have NOTHING like your spot. I went ahead and made the deal on the plow below. The shabby mount will fit my bucket if I don't get a bracket made in time and for $125, its a cheap way in to see if plowing is my thing. Gonna give it a bath and put the...

    Ethics on clearing neighbor's drive ways and private lane

    I have twin sons who get along great 99% of the time...until they don't. I am a poor Christian on my best day but have raised my boys with all they need in their tool kit to walk the line if they so choose. While both are good and God-fearing, one is exceptionally filled with the Spirit; Beau...

    Front Snow Plow - To hydro or not.

    Evening, This season I am contemplating adding a front plow blade to my B2320. I have a rear blade but would like the front option as well. I want to keep the cost down so I'm searching Craigslist and have come upon many light truck blades which include pusher tubes (is that the right term)...

    72" Piranha Tooth Bar Install and Review!

    Adding to an old thread. I have a Ratchet Rake for my B2320 and just ordered a PTB. The comparison in my loamy, rocky, rooty woods will be interesting. I have tried many times and many ways to take up saplings =/< 3" with the RR but no dice. It wants to just slide up the trunk. I think...

    First project with my B2320 WITH PICS

    Thanks Boat. I really don't have man-made obstructions - just trees. I assumed box blades were for dragging long and straight and I am working in areas I clear which for now would require lots of turning. Areas the size you see in the photos in the original post. The rocks I pulled out were...

    First project with my B2320 WITH PICS

    Finally, I put down a weed barrier and filled with finish stone. I still need to lay loam around the edges and grade it out so there is no step and no erosion of the edge. We will likely place low greenery around the ring to hold the soil and give it a nice transition. Picked up some very...

    First project with my B2320 WITH PICS

    The family really stepped up. This was a back breaker at times. For layout, I pounded a 3' steel steak in the rough center of where the ring would go. Next, I made a square frame from 4 2x4x8 studs. I leveled the square and held it fast using available stones and 12 inch galv spikes...

    First project with my B2320 WITH PICS

    6 generously measured yards of crushed gravel and 5 yards of 3/4" stone. Nothing fancy but a big haul for a small tractor - I'd say about 15 tons.

    First project with my B2320 WITH PICS

    Here is the plot after about 3 hours of seat time. I'm sure this was way longer than it should have been but I was having fun and learning so efficiency was not a priority. Without a tooth bar, grading was tough so I got it within reason (10 inches over 20 feet) and graded with my wallet...

    First project with my B2320 WITH PICS

    About 2 or 3 inches of forest duff had to be scraped off. I don't have a tooth bar for digging but I do have a Ratchet Rake which came in handy. Cleared about 1000 sq ft as there are plans for more out here in the future. The trash piled up quickly and made me wish I had a grapple. The rake...

    First project with my B2320 WITH PICS

    After learning a bit about the machine, I headed to the woods to pick out a spot. Far enough in to feel like I'm away but close enough to run to the house for "supplies". Here is what I started with (I had already begun to rake)...

    First project with my B2320 WITH PICS

    Hey gang, I usually rip through projects from start to finish and never stop to snap before and afters. Since this is my first project using my B2320, I decided to slow down a bit and take everyone along for the ride. SITUATION: Wife is tired of the old fire pit. MISSION: Build a new fire...

    2 Acres half Woods and Lawn Is this B2320 for me?

    Update. I now have 10 hours on my tractor and I love it more every day. I'm already up to my eyeballs in remodeling jobs for the boss inside the house; it never occurred to me that a tractor means she can now have "outdoor living space" as well. Scraping away the organic material to lay a...

    DOES THIS LOOK RIGHT TO YOU? MMM bent?

    Morning, Last night I noticed that one of my MMM gauge wheels is far lower than the other 3. Getting down at ground level, it looks as if it is bent. The cut seems even but I would like the same clearance all around when the deck is up. Does my deck look bent or is this normal? Any...

    2 Acres half Woods and Lawn Is this B2320 for me?

    Well, it has been a couple weeks so I thought I owed everyone an update or rather a conclusion. After reading all the advice I decided to go with the friend's B2320 but when last I was on the forum I had not closed the deal. Long story short, it nearly fell through but in the end, my friend...

    2 Acres half Woods and Lawn Is this B2320 for me?

    Hello all, First post here after lurking and searching for some time. I live in S. NH on 2 acres split evenly between woods and lawn. In looking at several brands online, I like what I read about Kubota. A good friend has a 2013 B2320 that he has offered to sell to me. I have used it a...
