    50-hour service question

    Normally, I would....but being in the middle of building a new house and shop on 15 acres, even an hours worth of time is valuable. Every couple or three weeks I have to take it to town to do some work at mom's house, which is only about 5 blocks from the Kubota dealer, so transport is no...

    50-hour service question

    I bought a new L2501 last year. Just now hitting 50 hours (48.4 right now). We are in the middle of building a house, and getting lawn and septic field graded and seeded.... I really need to get done this week during a break in the rain. I know that being springtime, that the local Kubota...

    bh77 bucket teeth

    I ordered a couple of teeth on Friday. Surprised my dealer doesn't stock them. I'm gonna weld up the cracked ones and see what happens, though. At least I'll have a couple of spares. I did use the b/h for about 8 hours today, digging out 6-8" pine and maple stumps. Crack still looks...

    bh77 bucket teeth

    looks like I've got a couple of cracked teeth on my 16" bucket on the BH77. Haven't broke off yet, but headed that way quick. Any body know of replacements cheaper/better/whatever than Kubota's? They are about $32 a pop. http://www.messicks.com/part/7k523-42570/tooth-bolt-on

    New property cleared - sticks and debris removal

    I recently cleared about an acre. Looked about like your pic. Tried several ways...best was to use landscape rake turned to one side to the last hole, and try and rake into windrows... sort of worked, but not efficient at moving any distance (to edge of clearing). Ended up, brought in dump...

    School me on BX23xx's

    So...a couple months ago, I bought a new L2501. For mowing, though I need something bigger than the lawn tractor I have now, but not as big/heavy as the 2501. A lot of the area mowed will is 10-12 degrees slope, running down to a pond. I don't think the area is well suited for a zero turn...

    Protect your L3301 lights

    Same here...lucky stopped just shy of cracking/bending lights on L2501. Went to lower set of lift arm holes. Plus is, the 3pt will go all the way to the ground now, so can pick up implements sitting flat on ground, not on a pallet or two. Goes plenty high still for everything I got.

    HF quick hitch problems, need help.

    Check out my thread: Quick Hitch confuderation Compared mine, bought last week, to a buddy's bought 2 months ago...obviously not even from the same factory. His measures 14-5/8, mine 15-1/2 vertically. I'm thinking a new Chicom factory took the design drawings and sample as a mere...

    Quick Hitch confuderation

    Buddy of mine bought an HF quick hitch about 2 months ago. His will adjust to about 14-5/8" vertically from bottom of lower hooks to bottom of top hook. Whereas mine is 15-1/2". Top hook made slightly differently, too. Comparing the two, it looks like maybe they changed Chicom factory...and...

    Quick Hitch confuderation

    7 holes in the bracket. I have just been messing with it, works best for top hook hole to match to #2 from bottom hitch hole. Going to make a plate with a couple more holes to add to the hitch. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Quick Hitch confuderation

    My top hook just has 2 holes.....maybe the hole-driller went on break early? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Quick Hitch confuderation

    That's what I think I'll do. Just rework the top hook so it can be mounted lower on the mounting bracket.
