Stumbled onto this picture I shot from the bucket truck on loan to spray Liquid 7 on the linden tree out back. The Liquid 7 didn't work so great. Not sure if the problem was frequent rain or if it simply wasn't the best application for it. This was before discovering the systemic pesticide...

You fellas used much more aggressive teeth than I did on the B7500 years ago:)s

True, not much extra space in an L cab. Best I can do is offer Sweet Pea a lap. The cab is pleasant enough to let her nap as we mow:)

If it is more than an occasional drip, a repair. In years past Kubota had trouble with seals. I was aware of that before buying mine (used). Kubota records showed mine had a seal replacement at under 100 hours. Lucky me. My BIL has an L4740 he bought used and the seal went about a year...

I should be mowing. However, it's raining. The grass has been growing fast here in spite of what some are saying about drought conditions. It was tall enough yesterday but the day wasn't long enough. I was too busy in the morning spent a good part of the afternoon closing three holes like...

Welcome aboard and congrats! If you don't have an owner's manual you should get one. Better yet is the Workshop Manual. I'm not familiar with that particular model. Many Kubotas have things that may not be obvious to new owners such as needing to remove multiple drain plugs to get all the...

Never did a BX but since 2002 have done a B7500, L3200 and current L4240. I've had the loaders on and off many times. When the loader is removed, the bucket AND frame are removed together. I never mow with the loader on. It goes on when needed and is removed when that task is done. When not...

Welcome aboard! I'm no mechanic but I split my Ford 1210. It was easy because it isn't a big tractor but the basics are the same. Removed unnecessary things that would get in the way - in my case that was hood, fuel tank and battery. Then remove or disconnect anything that crossed the joint...

" I'd like to just spray myself " - I wouldn't use anything stronger than DEET for that:) I have a professional do our house. The spiders were bad and in the garage the spiderwebs on the windows almost looked curtains in about a month's time. They take care of insects and mice inside and...

As others said, be sure the power supply has the beans for the startup:)

Your projects and attention to detail are in a class above mine BUT we seem to have similar thoughts on drawings. Here are my "detailed drawings" and the completed cab. I did have access to CADD, but sometimes it's easier to just jump in and be flexible:)

Another casual user here. I have a Hypertherm Powermax 30AIR that also has a built-in compressor. It has some sort of dryer built in. Mine is made to use a contact tip. Max steel cutting recommended is 5/8" and the manual lists different cutting speeds and amperage settings for different...

We have a linden tree that is a Japanese Beetle magnet. As the tree grew, the weapons were upgraded. For years a normal garden sprayer worked. Then a big stepladder in conjunction with the garden sprayer. For a couple years the homebrew pressurized tank fabbed from an old R12 jug. I did bring a...

I used a 5 foot King Kutter on the L3200 I had to turn a corn field into a yard. The tractor lost traction before it abused the BB.
