    Expanding field, clearing stumps.

    A little over two years ago, I gave up my house in the suburbs to my daughter and moved into the mountains. I'm 70, sold my business and did very well. I bought 18 acres with a nice house on top of a mountain. I am not near anything. Just the way I like it. And I have a view to die for...

    Kubota recommends being easy on the tractor the first 50 hours (should I even mow?)

    I've had my BX for 2 years and still don't have 50 hrs on it. Guess I've been breaking it in all this time.

    Starting and seat

    I know my BX will shut off if I have the Mid Mower installed and running. Had me going the first time I did that. I almost always start the BX in the garage standing beside it. That's when I do my walk around (pre-flight), check for problems and leakage.

    Three point leveling attachment for Kubota

    Inflation is really starting to hit. I go in TSC and just about anything I bought last year has doubled.

    I don't know if you are the luckiest or most cursed tractor driver I've met. Maybe both. Glad you are alive.

    Rain! Did you say rain!!! I live in Rabun County Ga. We are the wettest county east of the Washington state. Some years we qualify as a rain forest. We average 76" a year. Though I have 18 acres, I only work 3 to 4 of them.

    All good advice. Will look for Tractor Mike. Been watch Dave lately. I do go slow and keep the bucket low. My tires were pre-filled with glycerin.

    App for Orange Tractor Talks

    I like to access this forum on my phone. Sometimes directly from the tractor. Pulling out up in a browser is nearly useless on a phone and my phone has a pretty big screen. I do have a shortcut to my desktop but a dedicated app would be great.

    Simple Chicken Coop

    We just got into the Chicken egg business. Have 9 Rock Barred hens in the basement that I'll have to coop in two weeks. We are giving 3 or 4 to the kids (they already have 6) and the rest will be ours. We live secluded on an 18 acre hill in the north Georgia mountains and are pretty much...

    I own an 18 acre hill with about 3 acres of manageable slopes. My BX2680 is my first tractor and I love it. I only have 50 hours in the saddle but I've gotten quite a bit done over the past 2 years. I'm in the north Georgia mountains. My concerns are now tip-overs. I've put down more...

    Just got my box grader

    Less than 50 total tractor hours time over two years. My property is an 18 acre hill with about 3 acres level enough to garden. Looking for technical guidance. I realized it is not simply driving around pulling and pushing a box around my property. 30 years ago, while in the Navy, I had to...

    Kubota recommends being easy on the tractor the first 50 hours (should I even mow?)

    I bought my BX 2 years ago and I just hit 50 hrs. In fact, I just added a Dirt Dog 48 box grader. I've mowed a lot of grass. I have a grapple and picked up logs, firewood, RR ties and brush. I usually let her warm up after start. I do a walk around inspection checking for fluid leaks, tires...

    Is there anything that pisses me off more???

    I used a rusty pocketknife and some old Burbon. Did it myself and saved a bunch. Did I mention I am a former Marine.
