Yes, the blue one is aftermarket. I had to take off the original one and replace it because I am missing the pin on the left side that the green one goes onto. I can't find that pin in an appropriate size. There's 2 lift arms on the 3pt on the top of the tractor. One goes to green and one goes...

Building inspection has gotten out of hand. I put up a metal patio roof, just some square tube welded together, anchored to the concrete. Township caught wind, said I need a PE inspection. Got 3 quotes, ranging from $7000-$15,000. I paid $1200 in material. I told the township that this was...

I got it working well enough, but it's not right. This is how i bought the tractor 10 years ago, so I'm not even sure it's right to begin with. I assume the blue you're talking the anti sway. Tht's where they always were, but I can't get them tight enough to really take hte sway out. The bars...

I have no idea where it went, I took off my grading blade last month to do hay trailer. I went to put on 3pt forks, and pin is gone. I'm going to stop by TSC, but i'm not sure what size i need. I think the hole is 5/8". I think i'm going to replace both just in case.

Lifepo4 cells are the way to go at this point for battery. They're dirt cheap and last a really long time. My whole house is off grid solar, with a 11kw array, 18kw of inverter power, and 90kwh of battery. I took advantage of the 30% tax credit last year, and I'll do the same again this year. I...

That is true, but zt's have a lower center of gravity, which is great for hills. That wide stance is exactly what you want on hills.

That just means you need a bigger shed :D

I was mowing the field with a cub loboy 154 for years. It was maybe a 1970's. Then I got the kubota zero turn used in 2010, it was a 2002 model. Life was so much better. Cut mow time from ~2hr to 20min.

I didn't see the appeal until I got my kubota zd71. That thing is a game changer.

Closed the trench from the house to the shop.

Big wind and rain storm. Tree fell on my kubota. Hit the roll bar, flattened the back tires, and bounced off. Could have been worse.

My homeowners went up. I don't have a complicated property or business. They said costs went up, and my home is valued at 3x what it was when I bought it. So I sat down and thought about it, if my house burned down, how much would it cost me to clean it up and start over. Since I do my own...

At $67.99, they're sure proud of that ugly sweater.

They're trying to make them seem common place, and nothing to be concerned about.
