Greetings, and early Happy Halloween, I haven't been able to lurk on here like I used to, so this might be a repeat of information. I found out recently that Laurent has closed its cab manufacturing plant, and sold all of its inventory. Since I am a bit clumsy, I have had to replace a part or...

I have read here on OTT about the troubles that some of the members are having with their dealer's service department. I just want to thank the counter guys at Affolder's Implement in Berne, Indiana. Jesse went above and beyond to stay late on Saturday afternoon to make a new hydraulic hose for...

Not quite as heavy as bmblank's, this one runs about 6,500#, but it works. Old 300 gallon fuel tank with a 2" bar for an axle. B3200 pulls it alright, but it does not like hills. :)

Welcome to the forum PBnDixie, You have done everything I would have suggested. The next thing I would try is to see if the gas will flow from the tank, then from each line toward the pump. There may be a kink or pinch in one of the lines. If possible, use compressed air to blow back toward the...

Nicfin36 I work for a 30+ acre traditional cemetery in northeast Indiana (that means thousands of monuments and markers that sit above ground). We now have 3 Kubota ZD326RP-60R mowers for our mowing needs. The last R in the model number stands for rear discharge. Bought the first one in June...

Rollwave, Having grown up using an 18hp Simplicity garden tractor to mower an acre and a half lawn with a 48" deck, I can speak to the benefit of a zero turn mower. A lot of the advantage of a zero turn mower is the ability to dodge obstacles in your yard and to turn quickly to go the other...

To all the men out there that have kids, are planning to have kids, or want to have kids. I have raised 3 daughters, all healthy and happy. And belated Happy Mother's Day to the ladies out there. Thank you for putting up with the male half of the population. ;) Digger

We have had our M59 for 10 years now, and have not had any problems with the loader cables. Then again, it is stored in a heated barn. If the cable is getting crushed, see if it can be routed differently, or install some kind of protective plate. Digger

Drinka40, That sounds like a good deal to me. We now have 3 ZD326 with rear discharge decks. The oldest is pushing 2400 hours, purchased in June 2011. The only problem we have had was the oldest one had to have the right-side hydraulic motor rebuilt around the 900 hour mark. No other major...

Henro, Not at all a stupid question, and you're not an idiot for asking. Everybody has questions about things they don't know about, or have not experienced before. We have a slope similar in angle to what you have, only about 600 ft in length. We use our ZD326 mowers and can go vertically...

Very nicely done. Been thinking on the same lines for our B3200. Same type of pedals. Digger

ykman, Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a pinched hose or a foaled up fitting. Might also double check that the plumbing is going to the right places. Digger

Our M-59 (which is a larger version of your L-45) is almost instantaneous, also. Digger

Been using ZTRs for almost 28 years. The only safety problem I had was me doing something I knew not to do. The ROPS, safety switches and seat belts are there for a reason other than aggravating the operator. Use them, they will save you from yourself. I have a couple of steep slopes that need...

eliot3b4, I really like our WoodMaxx FM78 flail with hammers. Built very well. And the price was reasonable. I understand that they now have a factory in the U.S.A. www.woodmaxx.com/FM_78_Flail_Mower_p/fm-78.htm I put it on our B3200 and have little trouble chewing through the prairie grass...
