Congrats on the tractor. I got my owners manual from Messicks: http://www.messicks.com/part/tc020-19713/l2600-l3000-owners-manual I think you are right about the oil spitting out of the breather: It's probably overfull. You should be able to confirm the oil level by looking at the sight glass...

One or two things to consider with the style of trailer you showed: ramp spacing- are the fold-up ramps adjustable for spread/distance? I play around with the spacing a lot. overhang- might the fold-up ramps prevent you from loading something that might hang a little but would be otherwise...

Holy s### ! That thing is a little beast. Well done.

Having never done this myself, I wonder if both the size of pipe and depth of bury are a little ambitious for the subsoiler approach. The videos I have seen, like that posted by skeets (above), look more like 1/2" pipe going no more than a foot deep...

Excellent troubleshooting and repair; thanks for the detailed documentation. You might change the thread title to "How I fixed L260 stuck in WOT" though; this does not sound like a true "runaway" where the crankcase oil gets drawn into the intake...

make sure the pto is not engaged?

That's a good one.

The difference between the FEL's on the 1860 and her larger siblings is almost trivial. Not enough (IMHO) to really worry about. I think, from your description, the BX1870 will suit you fine. We love ours. If you were to start thinking "bigger" (with regard to the FEL) you are really talking...

I'm no lawyer and I am not going to read the text of the cited "Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act"... but the idea that Kubota (or any other OEM) would provide filters for free-- or allow random aftermarket wear items during the warranty period seems absurd. Go ahead and use those cheap eBay filters...

While mine was still under warranty, I bought all my parts at the Kubota dealer and kept the receipts. Maybe you saved a couple of bucks versus using Kubota parts and SUDT but you also may have, ahh, voided your warranty there. If it were me- I'd head down to the dealer, smile and tell them...

Lots of tree removals means lots of stump removals ? Around here a mini excavator rents for about $200-250/day. Plus, you have to figure time and travel invested to go fetch said rental. For the tree stumps, you could probably figure on setting aside time and just doing as many as possible in...

Can't speak to what the "light material" bucket is rated for, but obviously gravel is not a light material. I'd stick with the 54" bucket, personally.

We bought the smaller sister (BX1860) a few years ago for our similar-sized hobby farm/horse ranch. Mostly needed to help with mucking stalls, moving hay, etc. The loader and bucket on the BX2370 are slightly more capable than ours, but I think I can provide some context nevertheless. Per the...

pretty sure I got mine at Messicks: http://www.messicks.com/partdetail/97897-12533.aspx ...and it looks to be less money there than on ebay. Go figure.

I don't get it. You say you need more weight up front yet when presented with an awesome solution you balk at it b/c you don't have power steering. Two things: 1) Any manner of adding weight to the front-- elegant or otherwise-- is going to affect the steering. 2) Isn't that what you want? If...

Wildfire made a miniature orange Zamboni! That is slick.

Just happened to see PWM3rd's post about the trouble had with a "no spill" can. I see the can, understand the problem, and feel his pain. Those are a PITA, for sure. However, that is not what I understand the No-Spill can to be. I have a different can, and love it; don't see it failing like the...

Forgot to add: I have a MacKissic and love it. Both the Agriease and Wallenstein look like beasts compared to mine.

I think it depends on what you are putting in the machine: if all you are doing is branches (i.e., long-ish material) then the chipper is the thing. If you are looking to also reduce piles of leaves and smaller material the wide hopper of the shredder is a boon. We maintain a small 5 acre...

As usual, Stubbyie's advice is spotless. I can also endorse the BullDog brand hitch. I would look for brakes on both axles. Also consider the type of bearings- you should feel comfortable servicing them. I got an 18ft PJ with a dovetail. If I had it to do over again I'd buy a tilt trailer-...
