    Old Dude

    Blades??? Those things have replaceable blades? :eek: I have had a couple of rotary brush hogs (TSC and green) for years and years and put them through a lot of no mans land. and grassy fields I have wound all sorts of wires and such around them. But I really never saw reduced performance...

    74" Tiller with L4600?

    I have been running a 6 foot king kutter for years on and old gas jetstar moline with alleged 44 pto hp. Sometimes the tiller pushes the tractor a little but two passes full down through sod and it does a nice job. I am running a 6 foot land pride on a green 40 pto hp compact tractor and it...

    L3830 steering problem

    I started the L3830 HST Kubota to move it out of the barn. Let it warm up then shut it down. When I went back an hour later to put it back in the barn the power steering was out (and there wasn't much manual steering either). Glad it was mostly a straight shot. The steering seemed to work...

    Flail mower / brush hog...

    The brush hog will work for sure. Probably gives a rougher end result. But my brush hogs seem to work well on just about everything and I have never sharpened or replaced a blade (but probably should). Last fall I did a friends vacant lake front lot with a flail. The lot had tall lake grass...

    Unscientific rototillers comparison

    I have been using a King Kutter 6 foot tiller on the back of a Minneapolis Moline Jetstar for several years as my primary tilling machine (35 hp?). it has done well. My first project last winter was repairing broken welds and a few hole patches. That project made me think it was time to...

    Pulled the trigger

    Bite the Bullet... GET THE HOE! A backhoe sounds like so much money-- it sounds ridiculous. I bought a new tractor in 1999, swallowed hard and had the dealer add a backhoe. At the time it was huge money (not to name any names but it might have been a green tractor) and I thought it was a...

    Side Shift or Straight Tiller?

    I may have a stupid question or point. It seems like most of the tillers I have can be shifted a little bit to one side or the other. How far out do you need to go? The landpride manual for one of mine says it can be shifted 5 inches by moving the lowere arm brackets. It seems like with that...

    L3830 hst

    In 320 hours the tractor is probably mechanically sound. Because it was outside check the hoses and tires for cracking and wear. Mine was perhaps outside and the issues on mine so far are Check the folding ROPS and the seat slide. Mine must have been left outside and the ROPS is rust welded...

    L3830 hst

    I paid 13.5k for one a few months ago with 1000 hrs that had some blemishes. It had a loader with it. It is a really nice tractor. Starts right up everytime and works nice. I am a Deere guy mostly and I don't like that HST rocker pedal. But other than that it is a really nice tractor. I...
