I heard the discontinued the ED earlier this year. Too bad. Great engine combo.

Well, we put about 120,000 mostly trouble free miles on the truck. Had a few little issues, nothing major. Mileage was excellent. Did have the truck *upgraded with the new emission software a few years ago. Didn’t notice much change, got about $3k back from FCA. We towed light to medium loads in...

Hello, I see this is an older post. Do you still have the backhoe for sale? I'm looking for one for my L3400. Thanks,

That’s subjective. We drive it like a truck in a rural community. Never had any trouble with the DPF or DEF. DPF and DEF have now been around for about a decade or so. Not a new technology anymore.

Almost 6 years and over 100k trouble free miles. I did have to get the AC repaired due to an evap coil leak. No engine or transmission trouble. Pulls light to medium loads great, and the brakes are original.

Buc-ees was started here in my hometown. You’re going to love it, and then hate it because it’s too damn easy to spend a lot of money. They pay top wages for their people and have high expectations of them.

Took me awhile to find this thread but I needed to redo this since I guess the JD dealer undid it.

Chevy Bolt efficiency

Chevy bolt... 5 miles per kWh

Battery prices falling. Predicted that for every doubling in manufacturing capacity the price will drop 18% due to economy of scale.

Ford Announces Mustang Power Stroke Option for 219 - CarBuzz Not sure if this was an April fools joke or real.

Hasn’t posted since last fall. Not that I miss his proFord attitude :) . Seems strange he hasn't been around in 6 months. Hope all is well.

This has been about the warmest winter I can ever recall. We have had weeks on end of 70-80*f weather and very few days that stay in the 40-s and 50's. While it hasn't been unusual for us to have warm days in this part of Texas ( Houston area) it's been extremely warm almost all year. We did...

This truck has been on my radar for awhile. Looks like I may try to order one. Anybody hear that Ram is having trouble with the EPA certifying diesel engines for 2017? Word is that you cannot get a 2017 ED 1500 Ram. I'm looking to custom order one because I cannot find one rigged out the way...

I found a really good deal on a ram 4x4. This is a 4x4 5.7l lone star package. It even has the brake controller. Like most ram trucks it has the 3.21 gear ratio. My old F150 had the 3.55. It was rated to tow 10,600 from what I recall. From what I can tell the ram is rated for 8500 which is...

Time to trade this POS off. Electric steering bad at 65K miles, several brake jobs, evap coil in the A/C out, seat torn at 50K, and now the brakes are locked up. Biggest pile of junk I ever owned. Loved the truck until it hit 50K miles and then it started falling apart. No more Ford for me...

Now I know why some of you are getting so many years out of your A/C's.

As the title states. 65,000 miles and the steering is making a horrible noise when you turn the wheel at any speed. Nothing looks broke. It almost sounds like it needs a shot of grease but I could not find anything to grease. Anybody else ran into this?

I have a pole barn that has two garage style doors 14' wide x 14' tall. These are light-duty doors. Is there any way I can put an opener on them so that I can open them automatically? I checked around and most want me to buy a "commercial grade" door opener for $1K+. I'm thinking I can buy...

I just bought a cab-chassis F-250 with a service bed. It's a 4x4 extended cab with the 6.2L gas engine and 3.73 gears. 158 wheelbase. According to this chart 2016 Ford Super Duty | View Payload Specifications | Ford.com I can carry up to 3200 lbs in the bed (the truck GVWR is 10K) and the...

Does anyone have a good source for the parts to make a swing frame out of? The kind of frame I am looking for would hold about a 5' long swing and is normally made out of 2x4's.

I did a quick search but I didn't turn much up. Is there a lawnmower that has 4 wheel drive that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? I saw the JD x700 series. Nice tractor but it's $12K. I was hoping there would be something around the $6K mark. I do like the JD X500 series but it's 2WD with the...

Well at 45k miles its time to change em. Was looking at the Wagner series. What do the other guys use? PS..extremely disappointed at the longevity of these pads.

This is what I bought: These guys have the best pricing I have seen: http://www.pickupspecialties.com/toolboxes/flat_bed_tool_boxes_high_capacity.html They have pull-out drawers and come in different sizes. I went with a 96" with drawers. This is the only box I could find made for a...

Today I priced a plain jane Tradesman with a 3.0L Eco Diesel on the Ram Site at about 28K. I realize that is a stripped down version but I'm interested if anybody has priced them in the real world? I know we have a few TBN'ers that will pick one up and post back. FYI this was for a 4x2 8'...

I have a middle buster bought from TSC (Country Line brand) CountyLine® Middle Buster - Tractor Supply Online Store . It has the plow head on, not a shank. I have also heard it referred to as a subsoiler. I have tried to rip the ground with this attachment several times with not much luck...

Going to be building a shop soon. I will need at least several doors. The building will be approx. 16' tall which should allow me to have at least one 14' door opening. The builder has spec'd me a large sliding door for the front, I think about 14' wide x 14 tall. I want this front door to...

I am bidding on installing a solar pump. The bid requires the solar pump to meet the following requirements: iii. Array PV panels will consist of (2) approx. 180-200 watt Lorentz-approved panels. Panels to be installed according to 2008 National Electric Code specifically articles NEC-250...

Did somebody say "Trommel"? !! [

Just curious whether anyone makes an attachement that will scoop up dirt/debris and then separate the trash from the dirt. We recently acquired a property that has a large amount of broken glass, trash, and just general debris everywhere. The property had an old house that had to be demo'd...

There seems to be quite a few "Which Truck" threads on here so I'll add my $.02. 1st off-The Truck. I had a few requirements when I bought my truck last year to replace my '03 Z71 Chevy. First off, it needed to be crew cab. 2nd-it needed to have a real 6.5' bed. Other than that, the field...

Didn't want to hi-jack the other thread. I'm looking for a simple valve that can screw into a 1/4" opening and then accept a 1/4" fitting. I could do it with a regular valve and a nipple but I always wanted to check and see if there was a valve with a built in Male fitting. It can be...

Looking into this BH for my '09 Kubota. My dealer just told me that Woods is no longer offering the sub-frame for the L3400 and is steering me towards the 3-pt, which I don't want. Can anybody give me a part # for the subframe mount so I can look it up? I will try and call Woods tomorrow and...

OK, the Chevy is still going strong at 9 years old but no matter what I do it will never be a Crew Cab and I really need the room (kids aren't getting any smaller). Current truck is an extended cab, moving up to a full crew cab. The only brands I will consider have to have a full 6.5' bed...

2012 Ford Focus Electric: 105 MPGe, 76-Mile Range...10 Sales 10 sold in 3 months.

Stumbled across this while treking through the web. Note: This will not work in rocky or hard soil. There are some good ideas on here as well. I would suggest buying a small trashpump and recylcing the water through a hand-dug pit. As you recycle the water you will accumulate mud which...

I need to pick the right attachment for my Kubota L3400. I have some pasture that I am cleaning up. It has been sitting for a few years and has quite a few dead trees, fallen limbs, etc. scattered out. I have made several large piles with my FEL to move the bigger logs, and it has worked well...

When I bought my tractor I opted not to go with the QA for the loader to keep the costs down. I instead opted for the clamp-on bucket forks. They work reasonably well for what I need to do but at some point I plan on upgrading to the quick attach. Can someone tell me if my current bucket will...

I have read a lot of threads on here asking about using a generator to power a water well pump so I wanted to pass some info along. My intent here is only to clear up some confusion about using water wells and generators, which many of us have to do while living in the country. First, a...

I just wanted to pass along everything I have learned while searching for a 35 HP tractor. I know this thread will live on for years, so if I can help somebody or pass on some knowledge I am glad to help. First off, I am looking for a 35 HP Tractor. Why 35 HP? Well, I want to keep the PTO HP...

How do you like your L3400? Looking at buying one this week. Supposed to take a test drive Monday. I have used/driven a Kubota TLB and liked it. I know the L3400 is a CUT but it seems to fit my needs perfectly. What kind of prices are the L3400's going for? I got a quote for 18.5.

I have been casually looking at tractors for awhile now. I needed as close to 30 PTO horsepower as possible. I need 4wd, and definitely HST. I need a strong FEL and I am looking for a name brand tractor. I have looked at the new e series, the 3320, and the 3520. After months of searching...

Hi, I have been reading this forum for awhile and I'm glad I can finally jump in and mix it up. I have been looking for a good tractor for my land now for a few months. I am really looking for a ~30 HP tractor with a front end loader that at some point I will be adding a back-hoe attachment...
