We are at our barn most evenings after dark with our 3 small dogs. The smallest dog loves to bark out into the dark void, just to hear herself make noise. We know there are coyotes around having seen them and heard them regularly. The question I have and have not been able to find any...

We have long needed a convenience up on the hill by the horse barn. After researching here on TBN, and elsewhere, this is what I came up with. Still some final trim and floor paint, but it is open for business.

This old bridge needs replacing after a hard winter outside of Bowling Green, Kentucky. It usually has only this amount of water trickling under, but in a big, hard rain there is enough water to wash over the surface. I want to building it so that a gravel truck can cross it with much needed...

Is there a way to treat this wound in order to get the most life out of the remaining tree trunk? I had to take out one part of this twin-trunk tree since it was too close to the house. I have always heard the you don't need to put on a cut sealer. But how do I keep water from filling up the...

I inherited my Father-in-law's Lawn General riding mower. It seems that I have replaced almost more parts than not. The good news is that it started right up for the season's first mowing after laying dormant all winter. The bed news is that when I tilted the engine cover open, it fell off...

I want to add a FEL to my MX5000 and need advice on the best (most affordable) way to go about it. I look on e-bay. I have posted a request on Craigslist. I keep going to my Kubota dealer and hoping that the price of a new, Kubota FEL has mysteriously dropped well below the ~$4,000 that he...

I've been bush hogging fields with lots of fescue gone to seed and my MX-5000 has "ingested" countless seeds in the front of the radiator. Consequently I am working at the very high end of the temperature working range and don't like that. Why did so many seeds pass through the screen in...

Being inspired and educated by the various projects here on TBN, I want to share our latest and greatest construction project. We are building a 12 X 24 run in shed. Depending on who you ask, this will be either for my wife's TN Walking horses, or one side for the Hay Burners and one side for...

I am looking to get a FEL for my MX5000. Any advice on how to find, compare and install? Should I ask the dealer. When I bought the tractor I shopped around and found a huge difference in what dealers wanted for the machine. That likely to be true for attachements also? Is a used FEL a good...

How do I get an idea of what my tractor is worth? I am about to pay off my loan to Kubota Credit and want some idea of what the value of my " investment " is. With cars and trucks there are all kinds of web sites with such information. How about with tractors? Kubotas specifically? Just...

My wife and I just planted 13 pawpaw trees (several varieties). Wondering if anyone else who frequents this tractor board has experience with or interest in growing these native trees? -JeremyL in Kentucky

I have a new MX5000 on order so naturally have been excitedly telling the family. My sister-in-law says she knows someone who used to sell Kubotas and that he says that parts are more expensive than competitors'. Any truth to that? On balance, an old friend told me he bought a Bota at an...
