    Need Some Ideas Regarding a Drainage Issue

    Folks, I'm stumped. I'm sure the solution is probably obvious and staring me in the face, but I'm stuck. We have a 61-acre property. Our home (see aerial) is at the high point on the property. There's also a detached garage and a large concrete apron between them. The gravel road is a disaster...

    Getting to Know the Tractor on a Slope

    Third time I've mowed the huge field out back today. I'm getting more comfortable with the tractor and what's safe and what isn't. The first time was NOT relaxing. Second time was a little more familiar. Third time I wasn't stupid, but I knew where/how to maneuver. This is an M5-111 pulling a...

    Mowing 15 BATWING DIGGING TRENCHES IN PASTURE: Hydraulics?

    I have the same model batwing (towing with an M5-111). I think your issue might be one or both of these. First, the turnbuckles aren't adjusted properly. There's one on each side, and they control the height of the wings. Second, your front hitch is all screwed up. Compare how yours is hanging...

    Anyone Running a Woods TSG50 Stump Grinder w/ a BX23s?

    Wondering if you think it's powerful enough or if I should look at getting the larger grinder for my M5-111. I'd rather use the smaller tractor if I can because it'll be easier to get in/out of the woods. Thanks, folks.

    How Long to Remove Excavator off Back fo 23S?

    I haven't done it yet. Once you get used to it, how long does it take? I'm trying to decide between the PTO-driven or self-contained engine version of the DR string trimmer. I can tow the latter with the UTV or I can use the tractor the former. Just trying to think through how handy each version...

    Dump Trailer

    Gosh, I love this thing. Never realized how much I'd use it. I love that the hydraulics are self-contained...and that the deep cycle battery has a mini solar array to keep it charged. I ordered this one with a bluetooth controller, so I can dump it from inside the cab (like this picture). What...

    M5-111 and 15' batwing

    Well, everything finally came in. Got a chance to put the tractor and batwing through it's paces last night. We have 61 acres. More thoughts on the tractor coming soon, but for now, here are a few pictures. This is the 24 speed ((6+6)X2) hydro shuttle. The batwing is the RC3615.

    Oil & Fuel  Diesel in a Container Used for Gasoline?

    I have a 30-gallon tank in my garage that has an integrated hand pump. A really nice one that rolls, has a gauge, etc. When I bought it, specs stated that it could be used for gas, diesel, kerosene, etc. I've only used it for gas, though, but want to begin using it for diesel for a new tractor...

    Slope Question

    Yep. A lot of parallels between this and my era teaching motorcycle racing. Before I was completely relaxed and comfortable doing this, it took many years of scientific learning, knowing equipment, and knowing my limitations. The massive difference between what I was doing on this race track and...

    Slope Question

    Good question. My salesman is out w/ family issues and I'm not sure. (And thank you for the other information. I have a lot to learn.)

    Slope Question

    I'm newer and have done what I could on the search side, scouring Youtube, etc., but still have a succinct (I hope) question. Manual doesn't seem to address this. Equipment: Kubota M5-111 pulling LP 3615 (15 batwing). Tractor has wheel weights. LA1854 loader (could take it off if I need to)...

    Weight of M5-111 + FEL

    I'm having trouble reading the data online, and I wonder if one of you can help me. I'm trying to size a trailer. The tractor is a new M5-111 w/ the FEL LA 1854. It's the 12-speed 4WD model w/ Cab. Thank you!

    Rotary Cutter  Which Rotary Cutter

    I'm getting a Kubota M5-111 and need your help with which model of Land Price brush hog to get. We have 61 acres, of which maybe 40 needs to be mowed. Dealer spec'd a RCR2596, but when I read about that particular model, it doesn't seem substantial enough to me. I don't want to buy another one...
