    FEL Leaking Down

    It leaked down 4 inches in 15 minutes. After looking at the hydraulic piping from the pump, it almost looks like the shuttle valve is the culprit, there are no check valves to leak by that I see. After a closer look, the culprit actually might be a quick coupling in the hydraulic lines leading...

    FEL Leaking Down

    The loader on my L175 tends to leak down with the engine not running. My guess is that the O rings in the shuttle valve on the control lever may need replacing, any thoughts on this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I do believe the right way to run a brush hog is at 540 rpm on the PTO. That's where the gearboxes are rated to run. You can always change ground speed and keep the hog running at 540 rpm.

    Boom Pole for 3PH - Are They Worth It

    Not on my Kabota, but it's almost indispensable sometimes on my other tractor. Don't have a problem going over backwards on this on the hills up here, but the weight of the tractor plus ballast on the front allow me to carry even bigger loads to the burn pit. Got it on close out at TSC for $65...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I thought about it, but I was trying to keep the weight down so it would be eaiser to put on the bucket. However, the plywood deck and the fact that I leave part of the bags over the front of the deck don't let them slide. Got brave before lifting and purposely tilted the bucket back and forth...

    Bucket Teeth

    I saw that, and my first thought was to take some old "T" post stock (real old time stuff from the 50's) and weld it on the top to sort of clamp the tooth on. Wonder why the difference in pricing, plus they are not a stock item in the Houston store I called. Monday I'll check another source out...

    Bucket Teeth

    What is Kubota asking for the bucket teeth? I've got both a stick machine, and a MIG, but sometimes it's cheaper to buy ready made than get materials to scratch make. The price is right since cost is a factor. $300+ is a lot more than I was wanting to spend. Just called the orange guy. Pin...

    Bucket Teeth

    Anyone ever built and had success with removable teeth for their FEL? Need something to do a better job of scratching loose hard packed caliche with my L175.

    B7100 - Wheel Spacers - Weights - Filling Tires

    Don't fill the tires, but instead about 1/3 or maybe 1/2. This will put a few more pounds closer to the ground.

    How much counter weight ?

    I made this for my L175 with a FEL. Weighs almost 500lbs. I used 6 70lb. concrete blocks for weights and can remove or add if needed. Also left room on top for tools and a chain. Also water filled the tires.
