    Changing hydraulic fluid, how do you exchange the loader lines

    with the cylinders retracted disconnect each hose on each end and drain. its a pain in the ass. if you are insisting on it you pretty much gotta disassemble the cab/seat area to get to each hose where it connects to the pump.... you can get super crazy with it if you want to.

    Brake vs Reverse

    i am not sure if the bx hydrostat has a setting you can adjust for how agressively it stops after releasing the pedal or not but my l6060 has such a thing. i would investigate the manual and see if you have that feature. if so just set it a bit more agressive

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    eventually you will. i use parker connectors. most parker dealers will happily help and make hoses as needed on the spot. sometimes while you wait. i use flat face on my fel 3rd function pioneer everywhere else

    3 point quick attach top hook

    you still might if you dont have hydraulic top link. depending on how the implement is sitting compaired to your current top link adjustment you may still have to get out and adjust it if yours is a manual top link

    Diesel Additives - Time to Change Brands?

    Diesel Additives - Time to Change Brands?

    most if not all additive short if a true diesel biocide or antigel is nothing but snake oil. it preys on your fear of missing out. its kinda like wearing camo clothing to go deer hunting. you could literally wear a clown costume and do the same thing. all additives do is seperate you...

    Do R4 tires suck in snow?

    when i need extra traction with my inverted blower i just lift it off the ground a little adding an extra 1100lbs-ish instantly in ballast and removing a lot of drag. couple that with using my snow pusher to take off the top layer if needed makes it a lot easier. forgot to add i use r14 tires...
