    Foam Filled Tires?

    I'd like to thank each of you for your reply. I will be getting my tires filled with foam next week. I'd rather my tractor be in-op for a couple of days of the winter than to have down time during the rush of the other seasons. Thanks again!

    Foam Filled Tires?

    I'm considering to foam fill my tires at a local tire dealer to prevent flats from happening too often? Any opinions, likes or dislikes to foam filled tires?

    what weight brand engine oil do you run

    I use the Chevron Delo 15w 40, this is a full synthetic blend. I run this in my tractor as well as my F-250. I'm well pleased with the quality and several manufacturer's contract to them for their name brand oils. It comes in a blue bottle also!

    Front Suitcase Weights on L3800

    I haven't tried weights on L3200 due to my FEL, but I have seen the bracket for sale on Craigs List. I owned a JD previously to my Kubota and it had the 70 series FEL and the weight bracket was still mounted. GOOD LUCK!!!

    KUBOTA False Advertisement

    I financed through my local Kubota Dealer also. He gave me the option on the insurance, to go through the dealership or provide coverage through my homeowner's policy. I chose to go through the dealership, since the use of my tractor was going to be used on church property for flag football...

    Should we have series-specific forums?

    I vote for it! I could find more owners of the same model as mine much faster. I could review their complications or suggestions much easier. Computer programs are constantly changing, so why not the forum also! GOOD LUCK!!!

    R4 Tires on lawn

    I have the R4 tires on my tractor also. I do the maintenance (spraying & fertilizing) on two flag football fields. I do my best to keep the tractor operating in a straight line. If I empty the spreader or tank before I reach the end of the pass, I will continue straight to the end zone...

    Oil filter questions...

    I appreciate my dealer. He went above and beyond for me. I will purchase all of my maintenance products from him. I want him to be there, if he is needed for the warranty of my tractor. I have worked for other manufacturer's of similar products and I have seen warranties be voided for not...

    Recommended Engine Oil

    I use the Chevron Delo 15w40. I've used this oil in my F250, my tractor, and used it on the job for a fleet of tractor-trailer units. Another diesel oil that is used a lot is the Shell Rotella. Both of these oils are synthetic and have proven themselves in test labs. One of these maybe more...

    bush hogging rates?

    Most everyone in my area, charges $50/hr. The time starts when you load your equipment and ends when you unload at home. This is for a single width bush hog. The double and triple width units have charged up to $125/hr. The reason for charging in this manner is to cover the cost of your...

    Pulling my hair out

    Just a suggestion, if the lower arms of the 3 point hitch are not the same distance off the floor, check tire air pressure as the first step.
