In that one load I got a one bottom plow, a 6 foot disc harrow and a hiller/bedder. All getting ready to break ground and start my garden next week (if timing and weather works). My only concern is that the disc harrow is a one-point hitch, so will cut in while being towed from place to place...

You're just jealous of our "moderate" weather here in Alabama, Skeet. LoL.

Haha! It's a work in progress! The cold and other "homesteading" tasks have made it hard to make progress. Notetheless, I have gotten the hood painted and will be applying the custom vinyl labels in the next few days. As opposed to replacing the chrome headlight frame, I am opting for flat black...

I was talking with an off-roader and a welder about my plans. Both recommended seamless round steel tube for the ROPS. The welder pointed out that its what they use in all race cages. I have a hydraulic pipe bender for the shaping (wish me luck on repeating the bend angles), so I'm going to do...

Hey Dan. You might check out this link: http://www.tractorseats.com/search.aspx?searchterm=swivel They appear to have a good selection. My little Kubota (L2000) wouldn't fit me turning around like that. It may be the tractor's fault, or it may be my dad's (I'm 6'4"). Best of luck to you!

I made some more progress on the body today. Got the hood sanded down, re-welded the cracked joints, removed the rust and labels, and got a first coat of paint on. An interesting find: removing the large Kubota L2000 labels I found that the metal had rusted to the point of pitting along the...

I'm in love with my gray market Kubota L2000. She needs a little cleaning up, straightening and polishing, but that's all going well. I have recovered the seat, welded and repaired the fenders and seat pan, painted the seat pan, fenders and dash (hood is next), and torched the steering wheel...

Thanks for the schematics, Tomcat. I may go that route. I was drawing up an idea for bolting directly to the rear transaxle (where the fenders bolt on) to lower the center of gravity of the ROPs. Thoughts?

Thanks, Daren! I called West Kentucky, but they didn't have anything. I have the steel, and am thinking I will fabricate my own. The one you linked to for $750 somehow seems light-weight compared to what I expected. I wonder if anyone here has pics of the L2000/L225 with the ROPS installed...

Working on a seat repair I took the seat off my L2000 and stripped it down to the pan, welded up the cracks, and painted the now stronger thean factory pan. I'll be re-covering it over the next day or so. In the process I'm deciding whether I want to modify the seat rest from the two rubber...

Hi Mickey. I'm in Red Bay. And you?

Hi Orange friends. I have a Kubota L2000 gray market tractor, which is supposed to be a match to the L225. I want to add a Roll Over Protection System (ROPS), but I'm not 100% sure that the L225 ROPS will match or has the same method of attachment for as the L2000 ROPS. Can anyone here help me...
