I’m aware my L is a big over 30hp so please ignore if you wish. Below is opinion based on my experience. YMMV. Long bottom better for carrying stuff, particularly brush. But vertical will carry stuff. Twin lid better for odd shaped loads, some brush loads, construction type debris, odd shaped...

This is exactly why I rarely respond to drainage questions. Looking at it in person, usually not too difficult to figure out something. Looking at pics and a description, even if both are excellent, I’m not as useful. With that disclaimer… Looking at the uphill/downhill pics, specifically the...

One of our trails had several Virginia pines come down in due to a combination of age and winds a few months ago. The only reason for this particular trail is to monitor the our neighbor’s several acres of kudzu where it borders our property and carry out whatever activities are needed to stop...

Since you bought it used, don’t know if you got an owner manual with it or not. If not, the owner manual and workshop manual are available as a free download at: https://www.kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=Tractor%20Owners%20Manuals/

Suggestion: Take the plug out. Clean the threads thoroughly on both the plug and gearbox (brake cleaner clean). Apply a small amount of oil resistant RTV gasket maker evenly distributed on the plug threads. Reinstall the plug and leave it be for several hours. Example: https://a.co/d/cyk0ZzR

If you want to mow them, you need a rough cut rotary mower (bush hog, brush hog, slasher), flail, or sickle. Regardless of width, finish mowers are generally not deep enough to effectively cut things that that are taller than the deck is deep. It’s no problem at all to mow saplings and forbs 9’...

We have a Tractor Supply about 10 minutes away and we go there once in a while. It’s more of a rural lifestyle store than the Agri-Supply or Southern States type farm supply I expected based on the name. They do carry a few top links, bush hog blades, PTO shafts, and pins but it’s a pretty small...

For a local farm supply store, also check for Southern States, Agri-Supply, and independent farm supplies near you. What they stock is going to vary depending on the local market but they’ll have far more supplies for tractors than Tractor Supply.

This cardinal flower is the only one I’ve ever seen on our place. For at least the last 15 years, it shows up every fall in the same spot, on the north bank of the tail race from our neighbor’s pond dam a couple feet east of where our path crosses it.

Will defer to your expertise on the subject as you know much more about the subject than I. Worked for me thus far but quite possible more luck than skill. And to be clear since intonation is not possible in writing, that is said in all sincerity.

For Pioneer style, as best I’ve been able to tell and in my experience: 1/2” coupler: number 117 buna-n 70a (medium) hardness 3/8” coupler: number 115 buna-n 70a 1/4” coupler: number 113 buna-n 70a No clue about flat face. I haven’t seen those sizes in the assortment box type kits at HF...

Put on the skidding winch to do a little trail clearing. Didn’t really need it today but will for the next job so went ahead and swapped the bush hog for the winch. Only issue I’ve had with the winch is it sometimes bottoms out when crossing ditches and the creek crossings. The 3 point lift...

Few years ago, my father and I were getting an old on road trailer that had graduated to old off road trailer back to a usable state. The trailer frame was his final project in a college welding class. All it needed was tires and hubs greased, but the wheel studs were hopelessly frozen. After...

Did a little mowing on the sewer line. Been trying to leave it be for the most part to let it recover from the county doing everything possible with bush hog on a CTL to make a mess of it on a muddy, muddy day a couple years ago. Before that, we had a pretty good variety of forbs and grasses...

If you can find a leveling box with the right range of travel, they’re the next best thing to a hydraulic side link in my experience. Had one on the 9N I grew up running. Even as a kid, I could easily adjust it with one hand whether I was standing on the ground or still sitting in the seat where...
