    Bolt-on tooth bar

    You get stuck more. The teeth tend to dig in more easily when you don't want to as opposed to the flat blade skidding along. I just had to dig my new holland out of the muck, and it did better with that than a flat blade would have.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Today was a big day. I cut off the chute on my zero turn. I held up a plate, stenciled it, cut it out, and welded it, so i can disable the chute. I also picked up some clearance spraypaint a few weeks ago, which looked suspiciously like kubota orange.

    No more floor jack and jack stands

    I've seen them and it's on my list. I haven't seen them go that high though. I'd be weary about the height, but other htan that, great alternative to drilling the floor.

    Engine wont shut off with key

    Obviously you managed to get it shut down somehow. Some insight into how you managed that, just might help diagnose the actual problem.

    How long has this thing been running while you change those parts out?

    Strong b7200 with weak L1640 loader

    I bet a $4 bolt at the hardware store will do the same thing. The loader will never come off.

    Skid steer v tractor

    I needed a tractor with loader with power steering and a better lift. But I am cheap, so i spent along time looking. I needed to lift dirt and load it into the dump truck when building my shop. I got lucky and didn't even know it. A bobcat 610 came up and I bought it. I have tractors, with...

    Strong b7200 with weak L1640 loader

    I always wondered what went there. THey've been missing since my father bought it ages ago. I'll stick some bolts and see if things stabalize a bit.

    Strong b7200 with weak L1640 loader

    No, but my area is not level, a wider wheel base would go huge ways in stability.

    Strong b7200 with weak L1640 loader

    My ferguson just sold, i blew up my bobcat, and my oliver is the size of a battleship. So unfortunately those are out. I am beating my little kubota but it is holding up. I added 250lb of suitcase weights on the back to help keep it down. I would kill for some wheel spacers, maybe 1.5" on...

    Strong b7200 with weak L1640 loader

    I put those silly teeth on :D The teeth do help me get into the dirt a bit where the flat blade just doesn't do it. For the most part I'm turning manure, and the teeth do help me get into it as opposed to just the flat blade. Next week though I'm going to do some work on my mothers garden and...

    Thanks. I need a 12' hose for my b8200 and didn't want to think about buying a replacement from my normal shop.
