My tractor is in a detached building without a heating or cooling system, the building's environment is 60-100°F 80+% humidity. The tractor is used one to two weekends a month. What dosage of Soltron would you suggest? (I have little experience with diesel engines.)

There is now a "deceleration flap" on the input side of the soft box and "deflector flap" at the back, both of which seem to do a great job of protecting the outer material from damage. Sticks and stones are going to be hard on the unit regardless, buuut it's not like the mower blades will fare...

$6,000 is a lot of money, and four wheel drive requires more maintenance and therefore additional ongoing expense, but the traction compared to diff-lock alone seems about 3x more in my experience doing bucket work and traversing wet hills and soft ground. I was in the woods last weekend and a...

I stopped watching TV years ago; the dramatization of someone else's life pales in comparison to the sh!+ I do. :ROFLMAO: While at the dealer i looked at a B and an LX... I'm so happy with what the little BX lawn tractor does I can only image what one of those does. BUT, I'm working on...

Auto-[In]correct technology is wonderful. Fixed, thank you. Good thing I didn't tell the dealer I got something out of the BK line...

I bought it "now" as gas prices are supposed to be going up, so by extension oil won't be less expensive next week. The dealer suggested getting a under-shield from BXExtreme to protect the fan, and fabricating a shield for the front hydraulic boots. Thankfully he's trying to protect my wallet.

I just went to the Kubota dealer to get parts for 400-hour service, $236, including $145 for 5 gallons of Kubota Super-Duper hydraulic fluid. Everything was in stock, no wait, met the owner (great guy), and I'm happy to have a local dealer with great customer service that has experience with the...

I wonder if it's covered by insurance...

I follow what's in the manual, figuring they put it in there for a reason. Lube is cheap, stuff that moves needs it, so I do it when they say to do it. (Plus the mid-mount mower comes off a lot so I have ground clearance.

Actually, they do. A small $11 Ford marker light cover (front, side, with Ford logo on it) retails for $180 at the Lambo dealer. Lots of other existing OEM parts for standard vehicles are researched and cataloged for what is/isn't Lamborghini. Koenigsegg is the only luxury manufacturer with all...

The LX model isn't *that* loud with the 8 HP Vanguard Pro engine on it, but it is loud enough with the tractor running/mowing that I wear hearing protection. (I certainly couldn't put up with kids, the sucker is fine with earpro.) Ya gotta figure there's a lot going on with driving and mowing...

If you want to vacuum your lawn as if you had a Dyson, take a look at the Cyclone Rake. Shortcomings are: Price. Turning: It mounts to the 3-point hitch and the wheels swivel, so it's like driving a fork-truck, but being seated toward the front rather than the rear. Backing up: You aim your...

Phone holder.

In the motorcycle world it's very simple: continued vibration causes everything to walk itself loose if given the chance, so we thread-lock everything.* In this case fine threads mean the bolt must turn "more" in order to reach a point of being "loose," at which point it can continue walking...

Aluminum usually has a reinforcement shoulder for strengthening the oil drain area, and there are other force and wear considerations. Generally a solid repair method such as welding/tapping or a Time-Sert is preferred. But yeah, that definitely works too.
