    Considering a L5030 HSTC

    I made a bunch of black worms back in January 2019 when the L4240 came home. It really came "home" next door to my BIL's nice barn and he let me park it next to his L4740HSTC till I finished my shed. While it was in there I brought the plow home from the fab shop at work and mounted / plumbed...

    Kubota radiators!!!

    First of all, replace the screen. It doesn't catch everything, but it helps a lot. If the screen would be fine enough to catch everything it wouldn't let air through. Google came up with lots of screens - maybe even one for your tractor - for between $50 and $100. Not having the screen IS...

    Considering a L5030 HSTC

    I don't know when Kubota began using the HST trans that my L4240 HSTC has. It is by far my favorite after having one small gear tractor and three other HST's. It has three ranges with HI and LO in each. A lever allows HI/LO change on the fly. Nice, for example, if your mowing pattern has an...

    Max safe depth for water crossing?

    That video will be used to answer when someone asks "how dry should it be for rototilling" :)

    B3300 Part and Purpose

    Safety switch. I'm not familiar enough to tell you where it belongs, but look for an empty hole within the distance the wires allow you to reach. The hole would be the diameter of the threaded part of the switch. Then look at whatever would push the plunger on the switch. Right now you can...

    OK one more bytch!

    A customer's choice of what he would like to own and use should be his own. The limitation to that is only what may be available, not what some ill-behaved pimple-faced kid thinks he should have. As on old boss often said, "The customer isn't always right, but the customer is still the customer".

    OK one more bytch!

    I have Mint Mobile. $15/ month paid annually. Runs 5G and switches to 4G if limit is reached. Can't tell difference. Good service. Wifey does TracFone and loves it. She buys cheap phones on HSN or somewhere that gets triple minutes for life.

    OK one more bytch!

    It's my good fortune that #2 Son is a techy kinda guy. He's a network analyst for a college and "needs" to have the latest stuff. I'm fine with his hand-me-downs. At present that's a Motorola. When he isn't knee deep in computer stuff that I'll never grasp, he does stuff like rebuild the...

    ORD

    Mornin' Skeets. Wrong end of the Commonwealth to be much help, but I just had 150 gallons of ORD delivered for $3.089 a gallon, biocide included from a local company (Nevco). I do my own antigel. It seems to be available for delivery around here, but some suppliers have a minimum requirement...

    Can't say for sure what I may have eaten. There was a Chinese restaurant near our office that some of us really liked. Whatever they were feeding us was tasty and nobody ever got sick. However...

    How much is my Kubota worth?

    If you have a manual and a few tools the A/C could possibly be a DIY fix. I borrowed a vacuum pump and fixed mine. It was only around $50-$60 for the valve.

    Considering a L5030 HSTC

    My BIL runs a Woods RD990X on his L4740 in pastures and the cut is nice. It has what look like multiple free-swinging bush hog blades. When he mows more frequently it makes the pastures look more like yards. I run a 90" Caroni RFM. It has 5 normal blades and it's all I use for the yard...

    Considering a L5030 HSTC

    I like it. You could watch for a deal on a nice 90" mower. My guess is that with the flat-ish land in the pics you won't need ballast. After you mow with a cabbed tractor you won't want an open station. It was a great day when my BIL next door told his sister that chim should be out of the...

    Max safe depth for water crossing?

    I avoid getting the axles under water. Back in the day there may have been a Chevy or two (carefully) driven on flooded roads. The self-imposed depth limit was reached when the nice exhaust sounded more like "blurble - blurble - blurble. Then it took a bit of driving while riding the brakes...

    How much is my Kubota worth?

    The A/C could be an easy fix and really help sell the tractor. Mine had an expansion valve take a dump a few years ago.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Picture was sent to me from a bud who lives on the other side of town. He said the white box bobbing is an Amazon package.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Nothing. Waiting for the creek to go back in its banks again. Been a tad damp here in this part of PA.
