I know that on automobiles, if the voltage drops below 11.2 or something like that while starting, it will affect the electronics.

Daryl knows his stuff. He is a valuable resource for the Kubota community!

You need to test the battery. What it shows with no load isn't the whole story. If the battery is bad and drops too much when starting, the voltage isn't high enough for the electronics to function. That would be the first place I would look.

It should be easy to find a friend or family member who are more familiar with tractors and who can help you explore and learn. You would make more ground with in person help.

The question would be is how long can they function at such higher capacities, without significant wear and tear? There may be a cost for such ambitious capabilities.

My thought, for what it's worth- it's how I process this consideration. There are more factors than just strength/lifting capacity. The more weight, the more stress. I am interested in both capability and longevity. I'd rather pace myself, and work within the limits of my machine, while at the...

JB Weld works good at what it's designed for, but you are expecting it to contain high pressure by bonding to the exit of the oil. You don't have much to lose by trying, but keep your expectations low. If it were mine, I'd bite the bullet and buy the new line. Fix it once, right, and don't look...

Diesel has cetane ratings.

While being aware of the other online offerings, I always promote and endorse your business. There is much more to value than a low price. I will always endorse an American business, providing excellent, professional, personal service and a highly valued product.

The first thing that I look at is the shell. If it is bent up, shows rock hits, torn skirts, etc., I keep walking. How the mower was used will give me my first clue in how they maintained it. Used is fine. Abused, no.

It was standard on the 16' dump trailer when I bought it. May 23, 2017. Barn doors, or they would lock and the gate would swing down, or swing at the top as a dump gate. I only used them as barn doors, to dump manure. It would lift any load I put in it, and the only issue that I ever had was a...

My Kaufman had a 3 way tailgate.

I've used other brands, and looked at lots of them. Kaufman isn't the best, or the worst. In my opinion, they are an excellent value- for the price, you get a solid trailer with great support.
