    Where to buy driveway gates compatible with electric openers?

    MX4800 HST sometimes keeps going in reverse even when I lift my foot

    Hi folks, I have the following happen twice over the last few weeks and seems to be quite intermittent and immediately following the "incident", the machine operates fine for hours. Occasionally, when I have the HST pedal in reverse and I lift my foot to slow down, it keeps going in reverse. I...

    pole barn design and construction advice?

    That is how we ended up with a huge house. We spent 9-months redesigning it to make it smaller and more efficient and ended up making it 20% larger (but super efficient) so I’m about tapped out on funds but I do agree bigger is better! At this point anything is an upgrade from my “tarp barn”.

    pole barn design and construction advice?

    I am planning to build a pole barn as my first accessory structure to my new house but not sure where to begin. I'm in the greater Raleigh, NC area and regardless of what I do, I will need engineered plans for my county (Chatham). the overall goal is to build an equivalent of an enclosed 2-car...

    MX4800 front axle support wont take the grease

    Hi folks, I was servicing my MX4800 yesterday and was unable to get the front axle support to accept grease. I had the breather plug removed, and I removed the grease fitting to see if was jammed but but once it was out of the tractor it easily let grease flow through. Any ideas on what is...

    Easiest path to an Ag Exemption?

    I am in central NC and I am getting ready to move into our new house on 17-acres. Most of that land is wooded and within the woods are a good bit of streams, wetlands and riparian buffers so my "usable" land is probably more like 12-13 acres with 2-acres already cleared and formerly used to...

    LA1065 grease fitting thread size?

    I think I have buggered up threads for one of my grease fittings on the top of my LA1065 loader arm for my MX4800. I thought it may have been the fitting but a new one didn’t thread in properly either so I think I need to clean up the threads. What size tap will I need for these fittings? thx!

    Grease guns that don't leak?

    I hate dealing with hot weather and grease guns since they all seem to leak the oil that gets separated out of the grease due to heat and get all over the place and makes the grease gun and hose slippery. Is there such a thing as a grease gun that doesn't leak; if so which one? Thanks

    Which brand of used UTV has the Best value / least problems?

    Rear diff seems key for me as we will be driving through the lawn at times and don’t want to tear it up.

    Which brand of used UTV has the Best value / least problems?

    Thx folks. The mule seems like a better option than the gator just based on condition vs asking price I see on market place. The mini truck still seems cool but might be a pain for my wife and kid to operate with the manny tranny and right hand drive.

    Which brand of used UTV has the Best value / least problems?

    I’ve actually been considering those…still pretty cheap compared to a new UTV but I’ve got sandy loam soils which get soft in winter and spring so I would need a solution for those skinny tires

    Which brand of used UTV has the Best value / least problems?

    I’m looking for a used UTV due to cost considerations but so far I’m only finding junk listed for sale and there seem to be way too many options out there. Obviously, this is a Kubota forum but I would love some input on which brands of UTVs are durable and worth picking up used. I am planning...

    post hole digger recommendation for 3-point

    I have an MX4800 and will soon need to install 3 or 4 rail fencing across areas of my property. My soil is sandy loam on top, then clay without any rocks. I don't envision using this tool that much after the fence goes in so for cost reasons I am focusing on 3-point versions and not a SSQA...

    Anyone have experience with "North American Implements" grapples?

    Do you have a picture of how / where the hydraulic lines are being routed out of your grapple? Mine are coming out of the wrong side so I need to modify things but was thinking maybe to being them out of the middle of the grapple. Thanks!
