    Does anyone have first hand knowledge of Hipcamp?

    When you set your listing up as a host you can stipulate what is required from the campers such as they provide a means of containing their waste (Luggable loo, etc) and that they pack it out. In my case I will offer a outhouse style with waterless composting toilet. Of course no guarantees...

    Does anyone have first hand knowledge of Hipcamp?

    My understanding of Harvesthosts is that they cater to self contained RV's and many of the spots available for booking will bring you to a location , for example, a winery , with the goal of getting the camper to visit, take the tour, buy product from the winery outlet store. Hipcamp offers a...

    Front blade options for a BX2230

    I can not offer much if any help but does appear as if there is a BX2763A model. Looking at the part breakdowns there does appear to be SN break. I also can not determine if this serial number break denotes the difference between a bx2763 and bx2763a

    Dealer quotes on L3302 and L3902

    I did want to mention that I would not get caught up in the "added" expense of tires that Kubota seems to charge compared to JD, LS, Kioti as you mentioned. When I shopped for my compact tractor I narrowed it down to the Kubota HST L2501 and the comparable Kioti tractor. I expected and was...

    Dealer quotes on L3302 and L3902

    Yes, that is my understanding. Here is a link to the Build my Kubota tractor site. Will you be adding a loader to the options? If so, and I think most would agree , the R4's or R14's make the most sense. L3902HST

    Dealer quotes on L3302 and L3902

    The Kubota Build my Tractor website , for the standard L , 3902 at least, has a price added to the base price even for the R1 tires, $1678. R4's add $2572 to the base price. I think this is just how Kubota prices it's tractors. I would guess the only way to know if you're actually paying...

    “Borrowing” the neighbor’s equipment… the Liability…

    Sorry for your experience and hope things work out for both you and the owner of the small excavator. “Neither a borrower nor a lender be” is how I normally operate when it comes to tools or machines although I am much more willing to lend my tractors for neighbor's jobs as long as they accept...

    Kubota B7100 wiring problems

    Kubota did offer an upgraded higher output dynamo (alternator) for the B7100 with very detailed instructions for mounting and wiring. You may be able to glean some useful information from it.

    B7100 Pilot Bushing Help - Grinding Gears

    This is gear drive and not HST? I could be wrong but if gear drive it would have non synchro transmission which would mean you should be at a standstill while shifting. I do not think it’s possible or practical to shift while moving and would imangine it would be extremely hard on the...

    I was worried I was expecting way to much out of such a small tractor.

    The OP mentions it is 4 wheel drive in his post.

    L2501 won't crank, no solenoid click

    If your L2501 is a HST there is a safety switch for the HST pedal , (neutral position), also a pto safety switch . I would guess it has the pto switch regardless if HST or gear. With the kids sitting on the tractor first thing I would do is check to see if the pto engagement lever is in the...

    Must be Spring...

    Very convincing birch trees! Well done. Did you model your railroad in S scale (1:64th) ? Did you carry 1:64th over to your scratch built farm buildings etc being you had the vehicles in that scale?

    How many remember these

    The good old days of no seat belts, non-padded dashboards and pre orange barrels, orange safety cones and fines double in work zones! :ROFLMAO:

    Need Help

    The B7100's are thermal syphoning and do not have a water pump. What you pictured is a dynamo which keeps your battery charged. There is a gasket and water jacket behind the dynamo which could be leaking. Are you sure it is not the radiator hose, either loose, cracked or pin hole? Incase...
