    Distributing "playground" wood chips with tractors

    For spreading large volumes of gravel or shavings like your situation, I always use a rock bucket. You can push large amounts while it spreads itself out the bottom of the bucket. Get everything roughly spread, then reverse in float mode and it all smooths out. Works very similar to a...

    Rear-View Mirror for L3301 with M-Series Canopy

    Thanks for the reply! I like the looks of that canopy. You pretty much nailed the equipment I am looking for other than I am going with a L3901 DT. Wife gave me an open check book to get what we need (tractor and implements) for our property so it comes down to the pricing as a package...

    Rear-View Mirror for L3301 with M-Series Canopy

    What are differences that make the M series canopy better? Any pics of the tractor with the canopy? I've noticed that there are a number of posts with whatever model Kubota using a different model canopy. This has been a bit of a dilemma for me as I am in the process of working with a...

    Head light blues

    Don't expect a long life out of these. The biggest problem with these higher end "brighter" bulbs is that they are build to a lower voltage spec and then essentially over driven when run on a standard 13.6/14 volt system. That's where the heat comes from, lots of it. Watch your plug...

    Head light blues

    Some GM trucks have a problem with not delivering a full voltage to the headlights. It seems to be hit and miss amongst the years. Check your voltages at the bulb itself. You can run your headlights through relays. Not only will you get full voltage, they will be brighter to boot. It's...

    Risks of operating tractor from a standing position?

    I know this is my first post but I have been gathering info on my purchase for sometime but I can relate to this post. A week ago, my neighbor was buried after a tractor accident. He had it 2 days, brand new. He always felt the seat disconnect was a pain so disabled it on everything he...
