Seems to me it would be a lot easier just to plug in the tractor block heater. Very easy to activate remotely when needed via Google Home or Amazon Echo. See my thread on Tractorbynet " Remote switch for shop furnace or block heater" for more info as others have posted suggestions other than...

Seems to me it would be a lot easier to just plug in the tractor block heater. Very easy to activate remotely when needed via Google Home or Echo? if you have a computer and wifi. Al

To Dae 06. What kind of plow set up do you have? Do you have a straight snow pusher mounted in front of the bucket or on a quick attach with the bucket removed or do you have power angle blade on a quick attach? Usually angle blades have some play in the center pin that allows the blade to...

Could you pipe the exhaust to the rear like many of the old fords? May need a couple of pieces of flex pipe but for me it would be a lot better than cutting the hood.

Part of this discussion is about bulk storage and part is about filling from a 5 gal container. As others have suggested, if you need bulk fuel storage , get a 200 gal tank or whatever and have the fuel truck fill it as needed. I'm guessing there are probably regulations about a fuel trailer...

Thanks aerolland for your quick reply and suggestions. Quite clear you have experience in this sort of thing. I think I'm going with my planned route with selector valves as I already have them and have have discussed the install with the Princess Auto hydraulics guy. Not suggesting it's a...

Well I don't know much about it but I'm just about ready to add a top n tilt to my Kubota 4150. Going to use 2 diviter valves and tap into the bucket and loader hydraulic lines at the valve body somehow and use the existing hydraulic valve levers to control my rear remotes as needed. This was...

I don't have remotes on my tractor yet so I have used a electric winch as suggested. Not nearly as good as hydraulic but gets the job done. You would be better off with hydraulic as you already have the remotes. Is there a hydraulic kit you can buy from the snowblower manufacture to upgrade your...

Confirm that you have a valve that will control the remotes. We don't know what you have and if it was a used tractor, the remotes could have been used for a wood splitter with it's own valve or something like that. Just asking. I think you would be better of to buy another blower with the...

Paul Short or 4shorts is the Kubota Go to Guy. Check out how he put a 4 wheel drive indicator light on his Kubota here: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/301958-4wd-indicator-light.html?highlight=4wd Al

Paul Short has over 500 videos on shop related projects. He has some about mounting a blade on his tractor Couldn't get the link to work so search 'Paul Short mounting blade on tractor ' or whatever works. Very informative. Al

Just a reminder to those bolting on the hooks. Use a good grade of bolt for extra safety. Most hardware stores sell grade 2 bolts and not sure how well they work in a heavy load lift. Al

Similar situation on an older L2900. Mine has a cab. I used some flex pipe and slipped it over the existing exhaust outlet and ran the pipe back to the rear loader mount and welded the flex pipe to a solid piece of exhaust tubing that went up the side of the cab just to clear the roof. I cut a...

Re: Bx plow hydrolic angle fab Look up '' Paul Short You Tube". He mounted an angle plow on his Kubota a few years back but I think he was able to mount the blade to the bucket or loader arms closer than most do. Al

Re mounting switches. On my tractor I use a winch to turn the chute on my rear blower and I made a slide on extension handle to slide over the the 3 point lift handle to mount the switch. I used the factory switch that came with the winch and it works great as your hand is usually on the lift...
