    Tar River Grapple

    I bought one, from my Kubota dealer, for my 4060. I've had it for just over a year and not had a moments trouble with it. Mostly used for trees and such. Seems sturdy: I've pulled trees out of the woods on end (dragging) and haven't bent tines. I am, however, a new tractor owner so it's...

    The Break In Period

    i have a L4060 almost 1 year old. I've over lubricated all the fittings (more often than necessary: i bought a dewalt grease gun (INVEST)), filled the front axles with oil, did my 50 hour service and used the ever loving S&*# out of her. Today was maintenance day: checked oil level...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    At the risk of ripping off one of my OTT brethren, a reward for sneaking away and knocking out my chores! Never mind the Miller Lite, i needed to rehydrate!

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    even better, I brush hogged for 2 hours and all fluid levels were on! I've spent 20 years working on high-level equipment (think Intel and Micron, semiconductor manufacturing), never my own rudimentary hydraulic systems. It's great to feel like I've done something (read... my own money and...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Holy cow. Beside myself with excitement to perform my 50 hr on my L4060. Oil...check. HST filters, I lost way more fluid than 1-I thought I would and 2- way more than what I've seen on these videos. As I'm a rookie, I had 2 gallons on hand for recovery...check. First time removing loader...

    I always adopt from the local lab rescues. There are almost always "senior" dogs looking for their person!

    Finish Mower with a quick hitch?

    Good Friday morning, I'm awaiting delivery of an l4060HST (ordered 1 year ago and just arrived at the dealership). I'm purchasing an LP brush hog for heavy cutting around a field, roads, and such. I'm interested in a finish mower for the field itself (approximately 7 acres of grass and light...
