    Heavy vibration with Titan 5' Rotary Cutter

    I'm curious how "If the pto shaft lengths aren't matched, wobble and bending are apt to occur. " Please explain the logic of this statement. I think the more likely cause is how they lengthened it or put it back together. Did they weld your old yoke to a new piece of shaft? Did they just use...

    Kubota parts availability... Or I should say lack of

    Take it to a hydraulic shop. They'll make it like new for way less than Kubota prices. While theres a Kubota specific part number, hoses and tubes aren't tractor specific and commercial guys just get hydro shop to fix it.

    Kubota insurance

    I dropped a log on the hood and grill... Called the KTAC guy explained what happened. His only question was "Were you operating the tractor when the tree hit it?" I said yep, It slipped out of the grapple. He said "your claim number is XXXXX, tell your servicing dealer that and he'll send me...

    My dealer has no capability to do AC do I threw the tractor on a trailer and took it to Midas. They diagnosed, serviced and recharge AC for $149. I didn't need any parts replaced.

    L2350 unusual start procedure:

    Does it shut off when you let go from the glow plug position? From left to right I think your ignition switch is: glow, off, run, start. Does it also start, or at least spin over, by going to the start position?

    Corrosion question

    Beyond the bucket the rust should be minimal, or at least to your level of tolerance. Wonder if your first choice wasn't a flood victim? There is no Carfax for tractors. I'm OCD and end up cleaning, repainting and treating mine like a car vice a tractor. There's no real purpose for it...

    PTO malfunction

    A different tact to take: Unhook the PTO shaft and make sure you can turn the shaft going to the cutter by hand, spinning the blades. If you cant turn it by hand or if its difficult then the problem is that your cutter needs some love. I can turn the blades of my 6ft with one hand. Were...

    Issue after changing RCR 1860 blades

    Check blade weights, too much diff will cause vibe. If they're the same: You can check the spindle without completely dismantling it. You just have to take the blades and stump jumper off. Use a dial gauge against the spindle for run out. You can even use a wire that you hold in place and...

    Bush Hog RDTH 84

    depending on the age, any of the bush hogs are worth the money. Compare them new with woods. I'm not convinced that land pride is on par with woods or bush hog, in an apples to apples comparison. Land pride does tend to be a little cheaper and may work for what you want to do with it.

    security

    mine lives in a horse barn, so its not really locakble. The horse runs are open. Insurance however is prbly the best response. If some one wants it they will take it. If its a pro thief, then they're going to disable whatever feel good mechanism you've put on it. I'm less worried about my...

    Broke my shaft!

    Dave, I don't mean to imply it was stock. It looks, judging by the weld at the broken end that a new yoke was installed on that shaft at some point in time. My goal was to prevent is someone walking away with an idea that internal or external bearing retainer clips or disparate yoke types...

    Broke my shaft!

    Both clip methods of bearing cap retention are valid, nothing nefarious or redneck here. Style is simply based on the ears of the joint. You can buy joint in either style for nearly any u joint. I just looked at Spicers website and they even offer a u joint with 2 outer and 2 inner clips.

    Implement help

    Re: Impliment help I would say that its loader work for 2 reasons: Experience and cost. I have learned to use my loader for very fine leveling and landscaping. I was determined to figure out how to do this after watching the guy who dug the hole for my house level and smooth the pit to within...

    3901 trouble, brand new

    The puffy windy one (as my son calls it) is the regen. It will then flash the pot with arrow in it weighty one until you throttle up. It will then begin a regen. Run it hard or throttle up with the hand throttle until the regen says complete.

    PTO Link

    Ok so I found the spec, it adds 3.25 to the shaft length. Definitely in the zone of damage or most shafts. You'd have to cut down all your PTO shafts to make it work with this.

    PTO Link

    while it looks kinda cool, I'm not sure I understand the nature of the problem. If you maintain your couplings the PTO shaft just slides off and on. I don't think Ive ever fought mine like the guys in the videos were. Form an engineering perspective it looks like its a solution to a problem...

    Cost of ownership - smaller vs bigger tractor

    I have a bigger, small tractor L6060 and sized it based on maintenance of my property vice the initial work I'm doing with it. Right now I'm clearing about 10acres of big burnt trees, lots of logging. However as my property progresses, it will end up being mostly pasture for my lifetime and it...

    Can somebody recommend an air powered impact wrench

    I would hesitate against rating air tools at "what cfm your compressor puts out." The 1/2 EQ gun is rated at 90PSI/6CFM; 1000lb/ft. My AC will put out 15CFM @ 175PSI, however I wouldn't run a lot of air tools at that. Similar to taking that old 12V electric drill and running 24volts through...

    Should I add these extras?

    X2 on remotes and anything else "dealer installed" that you may think you want in the future. Dealers seem more willing to deal on those at the time of sale than they are when you bring the tractor back specifically for those items. My rear remotes were definitely more expensive after the sale...
