I called the gentleman that delivers the Duraberm and he uses a Land Plane on his driveway so I ordered one. Decided to give the Independence series from Homestead Implements a try. Weight is about the same as the best selling Land Pride at my local Kubota dealer.

I have about 1/4 mile of driveway in NE Indiana running a 27 HP Kubota 2710. I already own a box blade a sand scraper blade but I’m seriously considering a land leveler. I won’t add rear remotes to this machine for TNT and I’m no professional operator so I feel like the land leveler is the right...

Storms like this one are a good test of equipment and skill. Today I found both to be lacking. We got about a foot overnight and my little tractor barely made it down the driveway today. I have a Kubota B2710 with R4s that have been grooved. I plow with an ETA 6 way blade with the rubber horse...

Plowed a few inches of heavy wet snow last night. Was a great learning experience. Turns out I’ve been doing it all wrong. My blade angle wasn’t steep enough to properly “roll” the snow out of the way. I had been dragging the snow around in the mid range gear and it was taking forever to get it...

I have a hole in one of the 4 hoses on my loader valve. Should I just replace them all? Planning to have this tractor a while.

I’m on my second spreader bar for the Pat’s Easy change. The first one went through the flail mower once shearing off the thumb screw and is presently somewhere on my property hibernating until I mow again... This time I painted the outside of it orange in hopes it will stand out when I look...

I have a 16 ft utility trailer I picked up a few years back when I wanted to tow my CUT. This thing pulls very well so I’m keeping it. Needs new decking, some metal repairs, and I’m planning to move a few things around. The problem I can’t seem to solve is once I add sides to it how can I...

Got the iron too hot at some point.

Final tire. All posts real time. If you have an option, do this on a hot sunny summer day. Groovy!!!

Front #1 complete. Much easier than rears.

Rear #2 complete

First rear completed. Heater buddy makes a big difference.

Test run on a pair of shoes, grooves and siping with blade turned over.

Finished a nice little fabrication project this week. “Bucket Buddy” made from a Harbor Freight 2” receiver mounted with grade 8 bolts and a steel backer plate. Lift mechanism fabricated from 12 gauge 2” OD square tubing, 3” angle, and 1/2 round stock. First time doing any metal work in a...

I’m thinking of using the receiver to mount a trash can carrier. I made some from wood that just hang on the bucket. They work ok but fall off when I lower the cans. The one I’m thinking of building will hold everything more securely. Just brought the mig welder in from the barn and am...

Hello TBN! I ran a subsoiler on my place creating parallel lines on contour to catch more rain as it leaves the property. Its an ETA subsoiler on the back of a 27 HP Kubota B2710. The Kubota pulled the subsoiler just fine about 12 inches deep. What I didn't expect was the mess it left behind...

I have the cheap Chinese wood cart. It’s ok for our purposes but I’d buy a better built American one if I could do it over again. The wood shed is 24 feet from the man door on the garage across a gravel drive. The cart gets loaded and brought into the garage where it sits until I load the...

I recently traded up to a tandem axle 16’ landscape trailer so I can move my Kubota B2710. I trailered it last weekend and used large ratchet straps to secure it. I didn’t like how I had to rig things. The buckles on the straps would not fit into the stake pockets. My neighbor inspected the...

Looks like you have some Countrymark locations close by. The one I use sells Ag diesel and ethanol free gasoline which I prefer for my small engines. They both store well.

Hello TBN! I'm planning to pull over some small trees on my property keep from leaving behind a stump. When I was a kid we'd use a PHD to auger around the tree roots and loosen the dirt before tugging on the stump. I've been looking at PHDs and the best price I've seen is an older Ford 905...

I wanted a simple and cheap chute blocker for my Toro ZTR. Plywood, angle iron, and neodymium magnets made for a quick and easy project. Video below.

Several folks have asked that I review my Woodmaxx flail mower as there isn't a lot of information about them on TBN now. Video linked below.

I finally hooked up my Woodmaxx flail mower today and cut a little swath of grass just to try it. Too wet still to do any meaningful cutting. I'd like to "borrow" hydraulics from the loader for the offset on the flail. Can I just unhook the hoses that operate the curl on the bucket or should I...

Brought home a new to me B2710 with 271 hours on it. 4WD engages easily but slips back to 2WD on its own. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm ready to buy, just want to be sure I get the right gear. I was dead set on a Caroni before, but the discussion about the B vs F type rotor made me re-think my needs. I have a ZTR for finish mowing and my wife likes to use it so that's the end of that discussion :-D F type rotor seems a...

Brought home a Kubota B2710! Met nearly all of my requirements and priced well. $10k cash. At 271 hours I should get many years of work from her. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/buying-pricing-comparisons/372605-brought-home-kubota-b2710.html#post4622701 Thank you everyone for the buying...

She's in the barn. Kubota B2710 HST with LA402 loader, & R4 tires. 271 hours on meter. A tad lighter than I'd been aiming for but much better on the wallet ($10k). Implements to be ordered tomorrow... Best text ever!

Hello TBN! I'd appreciate any thoughts on this tractor: $10,900 B 2710 Kubota 4X4 Tractor with LA 402 Kubota QA Loader w/ Joy stick control & RCK 60" mower deck Diesel 30 hp Made in 2003 Hydro - HST Drive Hi - Med - Low Ranges 3 pt Live PTO 4X4 LA 402 Kubota QA Loader Joy Stick controls RCK...

Good point Jeff, haven't really considered electric. Will have power at the woodshed so I'll want to keep and electric in mind. At first glance, the 110 models look somewhat anemic compared to gasoline. Not planning to run 220 out there (just a roof with 2x4s for sides). If I can split it with a...

Have a lead on a new G3033H (HST) + loader with an IT4 Mitsubishi engine (no DPF 33HP gross, 26@PTO), 2710 lbs + 1,124 for loader, 1600 lb loader capacity, 90.7 inch loader max lift height, with R4s I can take home for $17,500 + tax (cash only). Seems like a decent deal, more tractor for less...

Is there a nice table that compares the various models of ~30HP LS tractors? Lots of different model prefixes, difficult to know the difference between them.

Hello TBN! I've been reading a long time and getting close to purchasing my first CUT. I plan to purchase used and would like any advice or strategy for locating the perfect used machine. I'd entertain new as well if the savings on a used machine are negligible. I am building a home that will...
