    Warranty for Poor Design "Woods RB 84" rear blade?

    Blade Angle?

    as you get your driveway established you might wish to consider getting a land plane to keep it maintained and level. a level driveway will be easier to remove snow from. i used a blade for years and the problem is that the blade follows every little contour so eventually you end up with a...

    Transmission oil question

    super udt2 it's a little bit more pricey... but you won't ever regret using it. i have read too many horror stories when guys tried to save a few bucks and stopped using super udt2 and then switch back to solve problems. HST transmission get hard use. the shear strength characteristics...

    kubota ballast box converted to quick hitch compatible

    the "design" wasn't without some shortcomings. on the first pass with the components that hook up to the quick hitch, when I put about 200 pounds of sand and some steel weights in the box, I could not get the quick hitch low enough to allow it to be hooked up. :-( I have a friend who is...
