Well......it all started when I went and picked up some parts at my local Kubota dealer. He’s also a Stihl dealer. I notice there’s a brand new MS 500i on display with a 25 inch bar......don’t need.....don’t need....I have a nice MS461.....it followed me home. I’ll let you all know what it’s...

I’ve been shopping for a new mower for the last couple years. Looked at everything. Last week I decided on the X750 and today I brought her home. Absolutely thrilled!

If the snow gets any deeper I’ll be shopping for a bigger Kubota!

I bought a brand new L3130 in 2001. correction.....purchased it 5-28-03. I don’t use it a lot...tractor only has 620 hours on it. Last night I went to plow and it was the first time ever it failed to start. I can’t believe the battery lasted 18 years. Correction.....15 years 7 months 9...

So I currently mow with a JD X700. Been a great mower for the last ten years. Only thing I’ve done to it is front tires and I installed the suspension seat. So....I’ve been wanting a new mower. Was pretty much set on the JD X750. But today stopped at a local Kubota dealer.....I already own...

It arrived this morning. I bought a slightly used X700. It has 86 hours on it and as far as I can tell in perfect shape. I have been cruising around the yard trying it out. WOW this thing is smooth. The power steering and tilt wheel are awesome. I can not wait to mow with it this summer...

I have been in the market for a new mower for a long time now but just have not made up my mind on what to get yet. Today I came across a 2007 X700 with 62 hours on it for 7K. It has a 48" deck. Was told this was a government lease return. Very good shape. He said there will be room to...

Hey everyone, Just read all the older post on this model lawn tractor but noticed that most of the posts were rather old so I thought I would ask again... Anyone out there own this model? I am getting rid on my old Toro POS and want to upgrade to a good heavy duty lawn tractor. I have a...

Well we have made a big move in our lives......we hope for the better. Two weeks before Christmas and we were packing up and moving to Michigan. What fun that was but we were able to work our butts off the first week in the new house and were pretty much settled a few days before the holiday...

Well.....I finally went ahead and did it. We have been dogless for years but not no more. Me and the kids stopped by the local shelter and found the sweetest German Shorthair. She is about 4-5yrs old and very well behaved. But here are my questions.....How do you train an older dog the...

Just need some help. Neighbor has a Century 3035 and has had it for about 2 years and has managed to put 135 hours on her. He has had no problems. Today he is out mowing with it and noticed hyd. fluid coming out of a breather under the seat. He shut her down and came home. Checks fluid...

Well it was rainy the other day so I could not work the Kubota. The kids and I dug out an Athearn Genisis train set I have had for years and never set up. We had a great time. I do not know much about toy train sets so I was wondering if any of you tractor guys or ladies are toy train...

I have tried to raise my son correct. He is a little rebelious and low and behold he went against my better judgement today..........he bought green and not orange! Big Ben turned 2 today and I had one of these growing up and he sure seems to like it.

Did anyone catch the TV show Myth Busters this week? They were going to prove or disprove the idea of driving a truck with the tailgate down will save gas milage. I started to watch and then fell asleep and never found out the results. Just one of those things I have wondered about!

Had the chance to borrow the shops 05 1 Ton Dually Duramax with the Allison trany and our goose neck trailer and man what a great way to haul the tractor. Had to haul her about 40 miles and I was able to sit back and enjoy the ride. I was able to go fast as I wanted and the truck never really...

My neighbor recently bought a Century tractor. I think it is a 3035. He was out brush hogging and started to loose power. It would start up and idle just fine but as soon as he tried to move it would just die out. He thought that maybe it was the fuel filter so he changed it. This did not...

Started up the L3130 this morning and noticed the hour meter went to 100. And of course the littler service engine light came on. I must say that this tractor today is still the greatest thing I have ever purchased. I am still impressed by the smooth and quiet operation of this tractor. The...

Well my 5 year old Polaris 325 2x4 Magnum decided to spring an oil leak. Gave her the look over and see that the oil cooler or lines running to the cooler are dripping oil. I thought that getting to this area really looks like a PITA so I loaded her up and took it to a new dealer in the area...

Well after using an HP Pavillion 433 Celeron for the past 6 years I finally upgraded. Purchased a Dell Dimension 4700 2.8 Pentium 4....120 gig drive 512mb memory, CDRW, DVD, 17" digital flat panel, 4 year in at home service, 3 year accident replacement, 4 years worth of express tech hot line...

About a month ago I built this for the kids. Had fun doing it and they love it. The best thing about this is that now they can play and have fun and I can get some work done out in the pasture with the Kubota!!

I know, I know.....this is nothing to do woth tractors but give some leway please. I have seen a couple of pics of kids and grandkids and I know how great they are to everyone. My wife and I have been blessed with two of the greatest kids we could ask for. Well tonight I finally got a chance...

My brother is looking at getting a small tractor for the farm and likes the 790. I guess he has found a dealer that has one that has about 60 hours ont it and at a good price. The dealer told him that this is the only small tractor that JD builds themselves unlike alot of the others that are...

How many L3130\'s put their? When I first starting lurking around here in the TBN world there were not many posts on people buying the larger Kubota's.....but now it seems like every week some lucky dog is buying the L3130. I have been a proud owner of a L3130HST since June of 2003 and have...

When I first bought my tractor was when I started to really read all the info at this site. At that time the Tiltmeter had a lot of posts. I bought one but have never installed it. I wanted to really get to know my tractor by the feel of the old mighty pucker factor. Well my property is...

I have read some posts about off road diesel and on road diesel and from what I learned from here and the places I purchase fuel there is no difference in the two except the dye. But....there is a new place that has on road,off road and off road high sulfur. So I like saving the money so I buy...

Took this picture the other night. My 6 month old son loves to go outside. I thought I would give him a ride in the wagon. He sure had a good time. Giggled every time we hit a bump. That little guy has her made in the shade. Since you TBN's seem to love kids and grankids so much I thought...

What does BTW stand for????? I see it in a lot of posts.

Did something without the CEO today. I have been having troubles with my Redmax Brushcutter all summer and I finally got fed up. Went down to the local Stihl dealer and bought me a FS250 brush cutter. I got home to try her out and man what a machine!!! I had the 6" string head on her and I...

I just got back home from a 5 days of hell. I flew up north to be with my brother and his wife. I can not put into words the grief they are going through dealing with the loss of their 6 year old son. Of my 32 years on Gods earth I have not experienced such pain as I felt attending the...

My brother lost there oldest boy on Monday afternoon to a stupid accident. Brandon...6 years old.....was playing outside on a small dirt pile. I guess he thought he would dig a hole to China and as he knelt above the hole reaching to the bottom to scoop some dirt the soil colapsed around him...

In the process of getting quotes for a portable welding machine. So far the the miller Trailblazer 301 with the Kubota 3 cylinder 19hp diesel looks the best. Do any of you pro's have or ever used this machine. Looking at 7200.00 for this unit. Any oppinions would be great. Thanks

When I got home tonight I happend to flip to CNN on the tube. Watched the coverage of President Reagans funeral procession. Really impressive. Learned alot. Thought the riderless horse with the boots on backwards to be very cool. So much history and tradition. Those color gaurds are...

I was reading the paper a couple of days ago and a 18 month old boy was found dead sitting in a closed up car. Story stated the boy was left there for five hours in the hot sun. I saw quite a few stories like this one last summer. Always makes me want to have a fit of anger. Seems like such...

I will be heading out to Tulsa in a few weeks for work but I will have some free time to spend exploring the area. Anyone out there that might share some sites of interest. This will be the first time in that area ao I am kind of excited about seeing some new territory. Later, Rob

Woke up this morning and loaded up my L3130HST and headed out. I hauled the tractor 35 miles to our church and spent the day leveling the ground around the building. I got a lot of seat time in today!!! Everything went smooth and made it back home. But let me tell you that little Kubota is...

Greetings everyone, Well I am starting to get nervous!!!! I volunteered to haul my L3130 to our new church and help with some grading and landscaping. So another member has a regular 16' car trailer and a box blade that I am going to borrow. I have some 10k pound ratchet straps that I intend...

I was out this morning wasting time at a local Kubota dealer and notice a new L3130 with the tires set really wide. Alot wider than my own. So I asked the guy and he said he switches left to right and right to left. I looks like you gain about 10" more in width. I like this but thought I...

Hey everyone, Just wondering who everyone uses to print digital pictures. I have been using Shutterfly.com and they have been doing a good job. I pay .25 per 4x6 print. The quality is great and usually ship out the same day. The website is also pretty slick. Just curious......always...

I work for a company that manufactors equipment for the oil and gas fields. I currently have a service man in Elmira New York and he is need of some steel. Does anyone know of a steel vendor in that area. I am sorry if this has nothing to do with the forum but would like to here from anyone...

Well I am in full swing remodiling my upstairs bedrooms. What a mess. Any suggestions for getting my L3130 up there so I can use the back blade to help with the clean up. The house is 60 years old and there is no insulation anywhere. So we will insulate as much as we can....new sheetrock and...

Well I now have 50 hours on my L3130HST......its time for service. I have read many posts on people trying to decide to do the service themselves or let the dealer do it. Since I have about forty projects going for the wife I am going to have the dealer come and get it. The one question I...

I walked by the Kubota today and started thinking about getting back out in the horse pasture to mow. This picture makes me dream of warmer days and tall grass to tackle!

I own a 97 Ford F250 with the 460 and the other day was going to work when the temp light came on......I also have a gauge and it was heading for the red zone. I pulled over and there was engin coolant running out from the right side of the engine. I let her cool down and limped her to the...

Merry Christmas everyone! This year Santa brought me a snow plow for my Polaris 325 Magnum 2X4. I needed it not really for home use but to use at our church. It will be a lot easier to haul down than the Kubota L3130. It is a polaris blade so the install was pretty easy. The brackets all...

I have a 2000 Polaris Magnum 325 and it has a goofy little fitting on the bottom of the fuel tank that likes to loosen and leak. I spoke to the dealer and they just said use pipe dope and seal her up. I used teflon tape and that held for a while. Leaks again and again and again. No more info...

Was hauling some crushed limestone in my 97 F250HD today and had a blow out on the freeway. The side wall let loose and boy let me tell you how much fun it was to change the tire along the freeway with 4200LBS of dirt in the back!! I need the wise TBNrs for some advice. I have 235 85 r16 and...

I currently have a Toro 17hp 44" mower to maintain my yard. I hate the thing and want to get something else. I have a new L3130HST for my big jobs but would like to get a premium lawn tractor for the yard. The T1770 looks nice on the internet but was curious if there was anyone out there with...

Hey.....did I tell you all that it is not recomended to use a brush hog for a wheelie bar!!!!! Bent the 3rd link and I pinched a hole the size of a half dollar in the seat of the tractor! Ran up on a little stump and before I new it I was watching clouds go by. Later and be safe!!!!

My wife took this pic a few days after I took delivery of my new Kubota L3130HST. I thought all of you would enjoy the picture. My daughter Grace is 15 months old now. My little Kubota is the best thing in my life! Well not really. Grace is actually number one in our lives. She is a...

Took this pic a few days ago. This little guy seems to has lost his mom and thought our tree in the front yard would be a good home. He also decided to make house in the barn and enjoyed some dog food. We were worried he would become a pest but now has left the area.

I have a Kubota L3130HST that I pull a 5' International brush cutter with. This weekend I was beating down some weeds in the horse pasture when the cutter started hopping around. Something was obviously out of balance. I shut her down and gave her the look over. No clumps of grass caught...

I have a L3130Hst and I use the tractor on some pretty hilly ground. I have the max weight on the front and the tractor still seams light to me. With nothing on the back I find the old sphinxter just a puckering going up hills. I find myself backing up the hills to avoid the pucker problem...

Is there anyone who knows where I can find a 1 to 1 ratio right angle gear box rated at about 50HP. We have rigged up a little JD 4' brush cutter to mount on the side of a tractor and now we have to come up with the PTO driveline. We saw a guy make one and it worked great for ditch lines and...

I have a question.......I am a new owner of a L3130HST. Talking with my brother and he said only use off road fuel or I will do damage to the engine. Dealer said use either. Is there a difference between diesel #2 an off road diesel .
