    Flip - flopping R1 front tires - Cause internal damage? - See pics.

    The outside of the tyre will still be the outside of the tyre, just backwards, if you just swap the wheels. Unless you are planning to mount the wheel inside out. I don't know if this can be done on the front

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    The reason Kubota didn't make it an option is because it can be dangerous. You will be operating in a crush zone. It's a nice tidy bit of work but be careful back there!

    Lifting 5gal cans of diesel fuel a problem

    If you have pallet forks you don't really need a pump. Mount the delivery pipe low on the side of the tank and just put it somewhere high and let gravity do the work

    PTO shaft too wobbly?

    It seems that you have lifted the mower too high with a long top link and caught the middle of the shaft with the front edge of the mower. And yes, that'll bend your shaft.

    Fuel prices

    It's around €1.90/litre here. Luckily, I drive a fairly economical van. I've had it for a few years now, maybe 12. I was passing the time in traffic last week when I noticed the mileage. Even I was surprised! Not bad for a 15 year old van with over 300k km

    New to the forum and begging for help from people that know more.

    Don't know if your tractor has one, but did you or anyone else pull the "pull to stop" button. The odd time my sister borrows mine she does that and I'm sitting there cranking wondering why it won'tstart

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    About 8/9 hours. There's another one behind the tractor and another 1 to start, and 4/5 smaller piles around the place. Best €500 I ever spent

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Well, I learned not to let the pile build up until the chips get into the drive roller and knock the belts off 🤦‍♂️

    Wood Chipper max/min for L4701?

    !00% agree on getting one with a bigger opening. Otherwise you will have to cut every kink and Y out of every branch.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Its amazing how many times your head is going to find those mirrors. I'm always thankful that I only put one on and can hop in and out the left side easily. But yes they are needed

    Mine is because I spend quite a bit of time driving in places where you would think twice about walking

    BX Snow Blower PTO shaft came off while snow blowing.

    Is that a clamping bolt about 2" from the end of the female part? And can it be tightened some more?

    Front Loader stuck

    My loader got stuck up once when I had far too much weight on the 3pt. When I took the weight off the 3pt the loader worked perfectly. Maybe you have too much pressure somewhere else too. Just a thought

    wood chipper feed roller

    I have noticed that problem too. I may do something like that. Thanks for the link to the parts suppliers. I will order a spare set of knives. Mine is a mechanical feed, driven through a gearbox by a belt. There is nothing to really break on them (hopefully) apart from bearings (which are new)...

    wood chipper feed roller

    The guy I bought the machine off gave me the number of the saw maker he uses so I send the knives to him. They come back sharp enough to give you a nasty cut. Ask me how I know that

    wood chipper feed roller

    It's an ancient chineseium model. Was hard worked in a lumber yard before I got it. It has a single mechanical driven feed roller with serrated teeth. There is no adjustment to springs or feed rate. It works good enough for what I need and easily chips up to 4". It's just that it struggles with...
