    dang the forks are handy

    Looks like a good score. Did it feel top heavy or squirrelly when moving it off the trailer? Years ago I ran a fire call where a couple guys were load a big machine, and it tipped over trapping him. He was injured, but more trapped than crushed. It was a good call from the standpoint that all...

    Are all pallet forks created equal?

    They come in two sizes: too long and too short. its funnier when you say it out loud.

    Are all pallet forks created equal?

    Yeah, that’s what I went with. My reasons 1: Three point compatible is a big one. My B7500 doesn’t have a FEL. It is a dedicated lawn mower.. I like having the ability to use it with that. 2: The 2fer with the “Wrecker” stump bucket. I have a couple stumps the Titan puller couldn't budge...

    Are all pallet forks created equal?

    My tractor is also an aid to my disability, missing leg. So tasks that involve distance and gravity are made easier and possible with the Kubota. Where my old self would tilt something onto a cart and push/pull it to its spot. I can see my life being made much easier by palletizing. GoodWorks...

    Are all pallet forks created equal?

    So, when buying a wood chipper and watching the guy put it on my trailer, I realized I need pallet forks for my B2601. I already have SSQA. What do I need to know? I don’t need a bale spear.

    Thank you everyone!… From a new tractor owner. (B2601)

    I’ve had a B7500 for a few years. I picked up a B2601 last year because the deal was too good to walk away from. I initially thought it was a scammer, but he was only a couple miles from me. He used it a couple times in the winter to blow snow. 100 hours in 8 years. It was neglected as well. i...

    Where to keep a walking cane on a tractor?

    I drop my cane behind the seat between the seat back and ROP. It sit on the fenders and does goe anywhere.

    B7500 High Range Issue

    My bad. I mow at 2000 rpm. By my trained spotters ear that sounds like the sweet spot cruising normal height grass. I do bumped it up for tall thick grass, like when I was cutting trail in high grass here. One thing I don’t care for is the oil recommendation of 10w30. I would like to use 15w40...

    B7500 High Range Issue

    I was expecting immediate catastrophic explosive disassembly of the transmission. Which is why I reached out. Instead I disengaged the brake lock and mowed half my property. The planets are back in alignment.

    B7500 High Range Issue

    As I get old thing slip by me. I am pretty decent at turning wrenches. I have six cars, a pretty cherry 1999 Dodge Ram Cummins, a 1984 Scarab off shore boat, two Kubota. And original factory shop manuals for everything. I retired from the fire department with thirty years of service, twenty as...

    B7500 High Range Issue

    Two speed. Low range works normally, as fas I can tell. I thought the pedal acted as a valve to control flow from the pump. going to inspect the High/N/Low linkage to see if it can be impeded. Then I might change the filter using the vacuum cleaner trick to limit fluid loss.. I think there is...

    B7500 High Range Issue

    So, the tractor runs great. I think I’ve have had it three years. I think it is close to 1000 hours on it. I believe it was well cared for when I bought it belly mower and rake all summer, back, back blade to plow snow. Before this gremlin, in high range mowing, run it 1500 rpm push the forward...
