Way past due on changing hydraulic oil and filters on Kubota M4800 "geared" tractor It's an M4800 non-HST tractor. I've got 2 filters behind the right rear wheel against the case. I need to change it all. Any tips and suggestions?

I'm one of those few on here who has a tractor but no front end loader. Oh, I'd like to have one but haven't been able to make one or scrape up the $$ to buy one. BUT, if I did, I'd have one of these around without the tank to use as a "manlift cage". The idea occurred to me a few years ago and...

My Kubota M4800 su is a 2004 model. It's served me well and still is but I'm starting to have a few issues with it. 1) my key switch is getting "iffy". You have to find that "sweet spot" for it to make contact. 2) My temp gauge works about 1/3 of the time and 3) I noticed this last weekend the...

Ok, ok we don't have too much "rustlin'" but we do have our share of free grazing around here. Now, I'm not new to the country or ranching or the farming way of life but free grazing is something that gets under my skin a little. We've got a fellow who used to own quite a bit of land around our...

My wife has a fellow trainer in the horse industry who has a trailer puller for sale and we were wondering what you guys can tell us about them. It's a Freightliner Sport Chassis with a Cat/Allison drivetrain. I think there are a few of you out there in TBN land who have something similar and...

I guess I could have posted this in the Photos forum but it fits here as well. Last weekend (Easter 2011) we received right at 5 1/2" of rain over two days. According to the weatherman at one of our local stations we're still 5 1/2" behind for the year so that kind of lets you know how we were...

Late Saturday's water supply seemed a little "airish". Not having worked on any water line to introduce air into my water system, I got a little concerned. The air was in both the hot and cold side and at all faucets and toilets so I knew it was in the whole water line. After studying on it a...

A big :thumbsup::thumbsup: to Jake for getting MOM for April 2011. Nice write up Jake. We could use a whole lot more young fellows just like you! keep on tractorin'!:D Here's the link: http://www.tractorbynet.com/content/member-of-the-month/member-of-the-month-johndeere3720/

Well, it finally happened. Like QRTRHRS we had to dig a hole this past Saturday. This all started on Friday. I went out about 5:45am and threw out some hay and broke the ice on the water troughs. No water in the ponds and having to keep water out for 5 horses. All seemed well so I headed on to...

I've had a set (2) of chains that an uncle gave me about 10 years ago. All this time I was thinking that they would fit my pickup tires. Well, after remembering I had them and needing them more and more in the last few years I thought I'd put them on my truck. I went to put them on prior to the...

Blueriver posted his SE Oklahoma snow pics and I thought I'd do the same. We're north of him more of a East central location. East of Oklahoma City. They're calling for us to get 8-12" more tonight into tomorrow.:mad:

Congratulations Dodge Man for the member of the month nod. Sorry, due to title length restrictions I had to shorten it to read MOM. Anyway, nice write up and thanks for all the input on numerous threads. FYI, as a youngster I'd considered getting into land surveying but it just didn't work out...

Congratulations Walt! Nice write up. It's always nice to read something about one of TBN's members that we don't already know. I've always enjoyed your input and info that you've shared here. Again, congrats for being TBN's first MOM for 2011!:thumbsup:

Just a little something I saw today. I'm not here to step on any toes of those who support our great TBN site. If I lived close enough to some of our advertisers I'd buy from them for sure. Since I don't I have to buy local and one of the choices I have is a store called Atwoods Farm and Ranch...

For the moment I don't need one. I have in the past considered getting a short bed truck the next time I buy. I've seen these extenders around and have wondered if any of you guys use them and if so what do you think. Also, if you have a short bed and don't use one how is that working?

This thread is spur from another on a loafing shed/barn thread. The idea of this one came from it but also of one that Harvey Lacey had once on some gate latches he makes. One of these with the two horseshoes is a copy of one of his. Some of the others are ones I've used at other farms or...

Probably covered before but does anyone care to cast a vote (again on election Tuesday) on which heater you prefer? We're looking again to put one in for heat when the power goes out.

Congratulations to John Thomas for making MOM for November 2010! Good work and keep buying those 'bota's!:thumbsup: Member of the Month: John Thomas - TractorByNet.com

Here's a few pics of an ongoing project. I built this "loafing shed" about 10yrs ago from a kit that I bought from Lumber2. The kit came with complete drawings and materials. Since then we've used it to store hay in and as a run-in shed for our horses. We had always intended to finish the inside...

We've got an abundant supply this year and are going to put some up. Anyone have any canning directions for pears? Peel, slice, etc........:confused:

Congratulations J_J! MOM for 2010! I look forward to your input on projects and appreciate your knowledge on hydraulics.:thumbsup: Keep on "Keepin' on!"

Hey Rob! Congratulations on the induction into the TBN elite!:thumbsup: I've always enjoyed your threads and appreciate your knowledge. Thanks for being you and Mrs3RRL as well! Others: in case you missed it... http://www.tractorbynet.com/content/tbn/member-of-the-month-rob-liefveld/

Well I usually do live under a rock and now I JUST NOW noticed that Kubota is in the skid steer market!:confused::o How about it? Anyone tried one or own one?

I could go to one of the Ford truck forums but I'd rather start here with my tractor Pards first. My 2003 F350 has the manual locking hubs and floor shift 4WD. The passenger side hub is getting pretty stiff to turn to lock without using a pair of pliers or something. Any of you guys have any...

Well, a good friend of mine is trying to get me to buy a golf cart or car or whatever you call those things. I have to admit it would be handy BUT do I REALLY need it? I have a four wheeler that's a little old and it would be nice to use the cart around the place running back and forth to the...

Ok. This is a spin-off of a thread that Allen in Texas had in the Attachment forum. He had to put up some signs in his shop to get his point across to his son and his friends about "re-stocking" the fridge of beverages after working in his shop. That started a string of posts about shop rules...

Guys, I'm looking for suggestions for painting pipe. I've made some corner posts and gate posts out of misc. steel pipe and need some paint prep suggestions. Besides the usual wire brushing the rust scale off what do you guys do the make this paint stick and stay around a while. I'm thinking of...

This might have been covered here before I'm not sure. I was just wondering how many miles of gravel or dirt roads you guys have to travel down to get home. Here lately it's been on my mind since this time of the year our roads can get pretty bad. The grader operator does his best with what he...

No, I'm not doing a stretch with Cool Hand Luke or did I go out and buy some chains for my tires. I joined Larry (guglioLS) & Rob (3RRL) and possibly others that I can't remember and made a place to put my chains and hooks on my tractor. The floor board and under the seat wasn't cutting it. They...

Well guys I thought I'd group this into one thread and hope it doesn't get shut down due to brand bashing. I know we can be rather "passionate" about our brands. I was wondering, of the current diesel pickup/truck owners out there, who was considering buying a gasser on your next truck purchase...

I'm probably the last to know but I just noticed that both Kubota and John Deere now have lawn and garden forums! I found out by mistake due to me always clicking on the last forum, under kubota, and came up with something new and different! I was going for owning/operating and got lawn and...

I'll try this post here. Don't really know where to put it. I replaced my SIL's water heater the other day. After removing the old one I now wonder what to do with it. I replaced mine about 8-9 years ago and truly don't remember what I did with mine!?:confused: Anyway, besides the old-cut in...

Today is a rough day. Yesterday evening I came home from church about 9:00pm and my day went from pretty good to bad. My wife stayed home and went to bed early so I was by myself when all this happened. I came to the "yard gate" and got out to get it. My old border collie, Mollie, came to greet...

I'm fielding ideas and pros and cons for building an FEL for my Kubota M4800 S/U tractor. I've seen several on here where guys have built their own for smaller tractors but was wondering if anyone has built one for a 50 HP or larger tractor and has had success or not had success with it. Lastly...

I'm kicking around ideas right now and pricing FEL's. I'm finding that FEL's for my M4800 will cost me around $4000-5000. I'm just curious if any of you guys have built your own here in Kubota land. I know there's some folks in Build-It-Yourself forum that have but I'm more interested in you...

I was just wondering who all had M series Kubota tractors and what you did with yours. Post some pics if you want! Below is mine totin' a bale one day when I was feeding. No, the feed on the hood wasn't counterweight!:D I was hauling it from the truck to the barn.:thumbsup:

You guys with a M4800. Do you have a block heater on your machine? My old girl sure seems to need one on these cold winter days. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get her to bust off and she likes to belch black smoke.

Well, recently I changed that dang old $100 OEM air filter apparatis on my truck. I no more did that and a few hours later I start getting a strange series of chimes. 5 chimes X 5 times. It'll do this for awhile and quit. After a while it'll do it again. Owners manual had nothing on it. The next...

Fellow TBN'ers. I'm curious how many of you have taken the dive as we have and dropped the landline all together and kept the cell service as your main form of communication. Our landline got up to $70 per month for only telephone service and we finally said forget it about 3 yrs ago. Anyway...

Ok fellas. I've got the burden of owning a 2003 Ford F350 with 6.0L PSD and was wondering (PLEASE WITHOUT STARTING A WAR):rolleyes: if there is something I could do to alleviate any worries or trouble down the road. I bought it with 35,000 miles on it, it now has 76,000 on it and other than...

Does anyone have experience with adding an aftermarket FEL on an M4800 S/U? Mine is a 2004 model which was bought new by my FIL and it came standard w/o the FEL. I'm sure my local dealer can help in this matter but wanted ot pick some brains here at TBN first. I was considering a Koyker brand. Jay

OK you fellow orange machine jockeys. Show me some pics of your brush guards, fabbed or purchased. I've got a '04 M4800 w/o FEL:( and no front suitcase weights. I'm considering building a brush guard for it. Thanks for all the input. Jay

Ok fella's. The water well at the farm house needs attention. Besides the obvious leaky faucet and stool that needs attention the well is cycling about every 15 seconds. On for a few seconds and then off for 15. Give me some ideas, please. Pressure tank? It's old. I replaced the pump last year...

I have a 2004 M4800 S/U Kubota and want to install rear hydraulics on it. As it stands all I have is the 3PH, no draft and no FEL. Where do I start?:confused: Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Jay

Anyone out there ever replace the Onan engine on a 225g with another maker? These Onan's may be good engines but they are pricey to fix. I'm needing a crank, piston, rod, etc. I'd like to retrofit with another maker.
