We put down a 110 foot tall laurel oak (a weed tree) in order to open up some light into the pasture where we replanted with Bahia seed. The Husky 372 with 28" bar-chain did a great nonstop job safely putting this tree down on the ground. Took me about two hours to clean up the mess with my...

Last night as I was coming into the farm on my motorcycle, our ranch manager came up to me and told me our Ford 4610 4WD had been attacked by a 10-foot hen gator. Apparently, one of the workers had been mowing our 2,000 acre cattle pasture prairie the last few days and yesterday he felt the...

The FarmOwners Association adjacent to our property has asked us to grade their road with our L-3130 TNT GST using our Bush Hog 84" box blade. They offered me a one year contract for $50 per hour and $500 bonus to start. I called up my Florida Farm Bureau insurance agent to ask about acquiring...

Outer Space Aliens Commandered Our \'Bota It was a quiet holiday night, quarter moon and a full sky of stars from one horizon to the next, not a trace of wind and the air temperature was 31*F with a nice coat of ground frost. All was quiet when suddenly out of the dark the familiar SUCK...

Two years ago, Kubota entered the utility vehicle market. Utility vehicles can be considered a cross between a golf cart and an all-terrain vehicle. They have proven popular for farms and for use by hunters. On Friday, the company celebrated as the 40,000th RTV 900, rolled off the assembly line...

Flew over our local Kubota dealer's shop last Sunday while they were closed. Quite a bit of <font color="red">ORANGE </font> apparent down below, including many crated rigs ready for assembly. Sure does not look like any slowdown in business to me!

About to do the 800 hour service on our L-3130 GST LA723. No problems to date as it has been a 100% true blue workhorse, but I was meaning to check the cold intake and exhaust valve settings. Anyone know what they are, I don't have the service manual.

An Old Farmer\'s Advice Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight, and bull-strong. Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers at a distance. Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor. Words that soak into your ears are...

Rolando, Where is the current Bobcat-Orlando dealer in Marion County? I went down to Ocala last Friday to pick up some hydraulic hoses at Yellow Freight, and low and behold, there was a brand spanking new Kubota-Bobcat building right across the street. I went over to check it out and no...

Got the ANBO Hydraulic Grappler installed and operating this weekend and quickly went to work incinerating a dozen huge stumps excavated with the BT1000 BH!

Name Yer \'Bota We named the L-3130 the " TERMINATOR since we've been able to "terminate" so many projects around the farm with it!

I just installed a new 2,300 watt 19 amp 12 Volt power inverter in the Kubota L-3130, sure is great for operating the Bosch power drills and grinders when fencing out in the woods! Sure beats hauling the PTO generator around with me too. Just a flip of the switch and I've got power to spare...

This was about a 90 foot laurel oak about six feet in diameter (the TL1000 FEL bucket is 72") that had been knocked over by Hurrican Frances last year about 35 feet up the trunk where in broke in half. Sawed off the trunk with a Stihl 046 Magnum with a 32" bar and removed the stump with the...

Geez, this really takes the cake........ At the end of mowing season last year, I removed all three blades and ground new edges on them. I've taken the ZD-21 out a couple of times in the last few weeks to touch up some areas this Spring and noticed the cut was not very good? For some reason...

Does anyone have any experience with either a mechanical or hydraulic backhoe thumb on a Kubota B-21, BX-23, L35, or L-48? Am getting a new 2005 TLB L-39 with the BT1000 backhoe and would like to use a thumb on the bucket. I see that Deere make a tumb for their backhoe buckets but apparently...

As difficult as it is to carry around a chainsaw on a tractor, this bolt on setup from Cabela's works great. It is made to fit on ATV's but adding longer U-bolts to the carrier allows it to be attached to the ROPS easily. I can also carry a spare saw and fuel tank on the boxblade after...

Our local Kubota dealer is in Orlando this week at the regional Kubota equipment meeting. I called him a couple of weeks ago to have him price out the new 2005 B3030 HST with the LA403A loader for me as we'd like to trade in our old M-F 1030 HST on this model. He is going to get back with me...

Busted off the solid steel center tooth off our L-3130 with the LA723 FEL toothbar while loading up a large oak trunk into the 72" bucket. It is amazing that the tooth could even be broken off like that, I would assume it would take at least a ton or double of pressure to do this. No harm was...

Just talked to my Farm Bureau agent about covering my 2004 Kubota L-3130 with 723FEL and Kubota ZD-21 with a $500 deductible and he said $150 per year. That is a great deal. This past weekend, some friends who have a new JD 4320 with FEL had it stolen out of their barn on their trailer in the...

Geez, where has this thing been all my life??? The ZD-21 is awesome! Super powerful, smooth, quiet, low noise and vibration, and a great economical cutting machine. Have only put 10 hours on it since new but I am very impressed with the production quality of this machine, it is a workhorse...
