    Better Lynch Pin?

    I buy the black lynch pins. They have a lot stronger lock ring. A little more expensive but well worth it. I get them at tractor supply.

    22 freightliner

    My pickup, 2012 Ram 2500 diesel, did that once. I had it towed to the dealer and they drained the full tank. The fuel was black and it had gel it it. They dumped that fuel, and cleaned all the fuel lines and it was fixed. My tractor also did that. I dumped the tank and gel was blocking the...

    OEM Tractor Oil vs Shell, Valvoline, Amsoil, etc.

    I laughed when I read your reply Not at you but the peanut oil comment. I have a generator I used to carry to hunting camp. I used it to run my weilder on occasion. One time I got out there and the welder would start but then die. It has a 10 HP tecumseh engine. I figured out the oil was...

    OEM Tractor Oil vs Shell, Valvoline, Amsoil, etc.

    I have used both OEM and Rotella. Not sure I could tell the difference. I can say that my Kubota L3400 has gotten to smoke when I first start it up and if I’m mowing or working it hard a puff will spew out every once in a while.

    Big Boar! Tractor was Useful During Hunting Season

    I’m in east Texas. I also pull hams and back straps. I try to trap them, there is a guy here that buys them. They process them and sell the meat. They do get trap smart and it can be a challenge. I sometimes if I shoot them I drag them into the woods, coyotes gotta eat.

    Help me pick a tractor (25-45 HP)

    Anyone ever had to clear thorny Locust trees?

    Thinking about this made me remember, a guy on Facebook Marketplace was selling honey locust trees. I would be more than willing to give them away. You have to dig yourself

    Anyone ever had to clear thorny Locust trees?

    They say if you cut them 5 new ones will come up from the root. That’s why I spray the stumps. Then keep an eye on them to make sure they are dead. Persimmons are the same way.

    Anyone ever had to clear thorny Locust trees?

    I have honey locust and you’re right, they are a nightmare. Two years ago I found out that Slime makes a product that works in tires with inner tubes. I ordered 3 gallons. I put about a gallon in each of my back tires and split one in the two front tires. I have not had a flat since. I cut...

    Anyone ever had to clear thorny Locust trees?

    You and me do the same thing. I cut and spray with the same remedy/diesel formula, usually within an hour or two of cutting them down. I had some piled to burn 3 years and when they caught fire the water in them started to come out the ends. They are a nightmare. I was told honey locust and...

    Anyone ever had to clear thorny Locust trees?

    I have thousands(it seems like) of honey locust. What I started doing is cutting them down with chain saw and after I get a bunch on the ground I go through and spray the stumps on the top with a mix of 1qt. remedy and 3qt. diesel. That kills the root system. I have a few of the smaller ones...

    To till or not to till 😁

    I read all the comments here. The only thing I might disagree with is some saying to till in lime to balance the ph. I have read a lot of things written by agriculture professors that say lime will not leech up in the soil, every time it rains it goes deeper and ends up being no benefit to...

    Are diesel conditioners needed for new

    I have had two instances. My kubota L3400 quit on me while mowing pastures. After a few seconds it would fire right up. Run a minute or two and die again. I pulled the fuel one off the tank and fuel was trickling. Poked a zip tie in it and it started pouring out. Took tank off and there...

    ARCO selling Biodiesel at my station now?

    But ours are corn oil at least, I haven’t heard of any animal fat in it. I do know that anything with corn oil dissolves rubber fuel lines and eats up carberators on small equipment.

    Kubota L3400 Blue Smoke

    Well, got one thing corrected. Took starter off and it would not do anything when I hooked up on bench. Decided if I was going to have to buy a starter I may as well open it up and look. One of the brushes was stuck off the motor commutator. I took it out and cleaned it with wd-40...

    I replaced the air filter and that helped a lot. It had about 200 hours on It give or take 50. i Took the negative battery cable off and cleaned both ends, went to start it and it went to turn over and quit. I think the hard starting part of my original post may have made the starter relay...

    12x16 Shed Sitting on Blocks Needs Attention

    If it were mine, we all have opinions, before i would jack it up I would start by putting a piece of 6x6 or even 8x8 if it would fit up in that corner and use long 1/2” carriage bolts to at minimum hold that corner together. If you start jacking it up first those 2x’s could twist out of there...

    Bad Day for Pole Barn

    Build a 4x4 a-frame and put under it about 4 or 5 feet from the side. You should then be able to cut limbs off the building side. Then hook a chain to it up to it close to the a-frame and pull it over, cut up, split and enjoy a fire

    Larger Battery for UTV??

    I’m curious, did you direct connect to the battery? I did the same but I added a fuse block and ran mine through it. Problem is it will blow a 40 amp fuse if it gets very much load on the winch. I may have to move power directly to battery or put a inline fuse in that can accommodate a 50-60...

    Best way to clear small trees from pasture

    I’m in East Texas. Seems like I have cut and have a thousand more to cut, honey locust. The best way I have done it is to cut them about a foot off the ground, then I pile them with tractor. I go back and cut them off at the ground and throw the small pieces on the pile. After cutting them I...

    LS or Kubota

    Your lucky if your Kubota wants your business. I live in East Texas and the dealer where I’m at has the attitude you have to buy from them and not question the price. I go to central Texas to buy the same stuff, even if the price is the same which it’s not. I don’t have to buy from them.

    I have 2 stihl saws. I have a 036, 20” bar that I bought in 2000, still starts every time I get it out, I have never done anything more than change spark plug and put gas and chain oil in it along with buying a new chain here and there. Have never ran into anything it won’t cut.

    What creates "bad diesel" fuel ?

    One year my tractor ran great and then out of the blue it would die. I finally figured out it had a black goopy gel in the fuel tank. I took the tank off, emptied and cleaned it. The bell was blocking the outlet from the tank. I have a L3400DT. No problems since.

    Kubota RTV-X1140 disappointing performance

    You are correct, it is a X900. When I did the 10hour initial service I got the wrong filters because I said 900, they are different for the X900. I bought it new last year. I use it almost entirely to haul feed and fence tools, check cows, fence lines and clearing pastures.

    Kubota overheating

    I looked at this and may order one. I always spray from the engine side of the mine, L3400DT but it’s hard to get to around the fan. I think if you spray from front you just push the dirt further into the radiator.

    Tractor Tire Liners

    The tires I have on the tractor now are 6 ply. Thought about going to 10 ply to see if that would help. I thought if I put the flashing in the tire I would put silicone on the tire and put the flashing on it to help it from sliding around.
