    Is a subcompact under 25hp enough power?

    Go mid sized . Small Kubota L model type . Forget BX : they're mowers really , and small at that . 15 acres is a fair old area to deal with .

    Kubota F series

    The all-in-one Kubota set were expensive , so I bought identical Carlisle solids on unwanted rims ( bearing size too small for most makes ) and swapped over the rims to the Kubota . That was half price !

    Saplings and brush around pond banks. Suggestions?

    Cut and then Roundup on open-wounds is the only way to terminate saplings . They'll keep coming back otherwise .

    What Do You Do With Your Waste Oil?

    I use it to start wood fires ( mixed with a little gas ) as they can be difficult to get going . Local council have a collection point , but stores in Australia don't provide a service .

    Back with the Orange :-) Kubota F3690AU 72"

    Well , after a couple of years with a Hustler Hyperdrive 60" , I couldn't resist a bargain price ( for over here .......... ) on a new F3690 72" and an excellent trade in ( due to huge Hustler rrp increases here in 3 years ...... ) . Some of you will remember I had a BX2360 54" for several years...

    BX 4x4 drive system question .......

    In 4WD , if ANY wheel spins , the other 3 stop . If I apply the diff locker ( rears only ofcourse ) then the two rears will sync and it moves on. Question ; Why does the other drive shaft stop being driven when the first drive shaft starts to spin a "lost - traction - tire" ?

    I greased the Kub a few weeks ago , but didn't realise there was a grease zerk at each end of the mower drive shaft . Now this morning I thought I'd grease it ( read the WSM disc ........... ) , but I can't get the gun end over the nipple . There's not enough clearance . Just ended up squirting...

    JD2305 wheel weights for a Kubota BX2360

    Kubota Australia don't import the iron wheel weights for the rear 26 12 12. John Deere do have weights for the JD2305 26 12 12. Does anyone know if the JD weights can be attached to the Kubota metal rims , or are the hole alignments/bolts different ? JD service didn't know what the Kubota...
