    Best Hand Pump for a Five Gallon Pail of HST,oil

    I'm so done with quarts. Tired of spilling gallon jugs. Time to man up and use cheaper five gallon pails and a hand pump Looking for the best pump. Meaning one that the lid 'seals', the pump strokes produce a measured amount and is just an all around good tool. Willing to pay the price for top...

    HST limits

    My BX always fires off with a little puff of black smoke, nearly every diesel I've seen does. However, I recently got another machine that has an electronically controlled Yanmar diesel of similar size. Starts like an electric motor (instant and smooth), no smoke. No 'Diesel Rattle'. Expensive....

    HST limits

That puff of smoke is usually the first few squirts of fuel sitting in the exhaust before the engine lights off. Do be VERY careful for your safety on...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I have (well had) a big dirt pile from when my shop was built. Told the missus "Ill use it...' She of course doubted me. Always does. I have (had now) an area that had been 'reclaimed' 15 years ago and has settled, stumps rotted, leaving depressions (awwwww) you know the drill. So my little BX...

    Alexia

    I just asked it, it told me two hijacked planes crashed in the Twin Towers. A little sanitized but better than stories I've heard like 'Two planes accidentally collided with buildings in NYC, killing the pilots....'

    Another Bucket Level Indicator Thread

    'Level' is a relative concept. If the tractor is on an incline, level is the incline. At the top of the incline, level needs the bucket tilted down. If approaching an incline and you want to say, smooth the bottom, 'level' changes and why there is a 'float'. My little BX, has a bracket that is...
