I got my B5100 with a 4’ blade, which was just obnoxiously small. Upgraded to a 5’ blade and it’s about perfect.

Selling a brand new Danfoss hydraulic control valve. Single spool. Model numbers on valve: 429C and then 156B0080. Also has an “H” in the upper left corner of the tag and a “T” in the upper right corner of the tag. I don’t know much about it but the guy I bought it from told me it was a good...

Selling my electric PTO clutch. It is the large spline one, but I have the small spline adapter as well. Works perfectly. Bearings are perfect. Looking to get $300 obo. I will ship anywhere, but buyer pays. Send me a pm or respond to this thread and I can send pics via text or email. Thanks.

I wouldn't use anything but Kubota. Super cheap insurance. I wouldn't put a fram filter on anything I paid more than $10 for.

All good points. If you are trying to gain traction without going to the expense of a 4x4 machine, adding aggressive tires or chains, loading the tires/adding weights, and adding weight to the rear of the machine are great ways to increase traction. I have a VERY steep piece of lawn on the...

Aggressive tread works great in soft terrain like mud and deep snow, not so well on hard slippery surfaces like ice and packed snow. Turf tires work great because there are more biting edges and surface area for the rubber to hold the snow. What gives you traction on packed snow is the adhesion...

As a teenager, I used to trim hedges that way for a guy I would work for from time to time. He's still a good friend to this day, but its funny how from the tractor's seat he never seemed to care as much as I did when I hit a bees nest with the trimmers. LOL

I have a 2510 blower for my B5100D. Yes, it is obnoxiously loud. As suggested by others, I use the 3-pt with a cable to lift and lower the blower and my blade (which I honestly think works better than the blower most of the time). If you want to use a double-acting cylinder on these machines...

Thanks. Yes I am in the appliance field and am quite familiar with the sensitivity of modern electronics. Many of the appliances and devices designed for the US will not work properly in other parts of the world due to the 50 HZ electricity supply. There are listings available online of which...

Well, I appreciate the info, and yes I want to get away from storing gasoline as I don't use it for much else other than the mower for my small yard. The reason I want to run on diesel is because I have an oil-fired boiler that heats my house. I'd like to install a second ~300 galllon tank so...

And no, I don't work for BWXT. Never heard of it lol

Well thanks for all the input and yes that answers my question. I have a 6-circuit transfer switch wired to my panel to run my boiler, well pump, fridge, and lights/outlets in 2 rooms. This can all be handled easily by a 5kw generator. In fact, I currently have a 5kw Kubota gas generator. I...
