    Algae on tires - problem

    Finished mowing today and hosed down the bota. Noticed some green algae in the tread of the tires. Could wipe it off with my finger, but not with normal hose nozzle pressure. It's been pretty humid down here in the holler for the past week. Just curious if the algae is a problem, indicative...

    Another pin popped off - damaged 3PH - time to harden my pins!!

    I've already posted about FEL pins falling out and my fix at https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/fel-frame-mounting-pin-fell-off.62803/#post-627946. Today was a perfect day to bushhog a field and after a few hours of mowing, I noticed that the rotary cutter wasn't hanging...

    Hydraulic Post Hole Digger Project

    I started this conversation on Implements & Attachments to get some ideas and am no ready to finalize my design and start building this. My plan is to build a poor-man's equivalent of a Landpride SA-10. I'm going to cannibalize a gas powered PHD I bought at auction for this project. I was...

    Hydraulic post hole auger questions and Landpride SA-10 owner query

    3 weeks ago we had a good snowstorm and a box truck slid off the road, hit my high-tensile fence and snapped 10 4" round x 6.5' fence posts. The nice thing about a HT fence is that even with the posts snapped, the fence still stands. In the past, if I had a few posts to replace, I'd just use...

    I'm trying to put my hands on a copy of Kubota PSB-2021-050-E (dated 03/31/2021) that extended lifetime warranty coverage for the B3350 DPF. Does anybody have a copy - I'd like to keep it with my B3350 documents. Thanks so much!

    B3350 - Mystery bolt on barn floor - not a joke, but will include one ...

    I found this bolt on the barn floor today under the Bota. No idea where it fell off. It's got a 7 on the head and is about 1-3/8" long. I did see others like it, on the machine, but couldn't find any missing holes. Here are some photos. As promised, the joke (somewhat related): A guy's...

    Cautionary Tale - 71 isn't the new 23

    Since there isn't a forum for "Dumb Stuff I Shouldn't Have Done (OTT Confessions)", I'm posting mine here. Last week I let my undeserved sense of self-confidence get the better of me. Had a few free hours in the morning before the dew burned off the grass enough to mow, so I checked the to-do...

    Tree Spade - latest addition to armada

    Our spring to-do list includes removing a number of shrubs from the perimeter of the house foundation and replacing them with lower maintenance/better looking versions (planted with more space from the foundation). I didn't relish the idea of doing it all by hand, so found a Wolverine TD13-36R...

    B3350 Grille Guard Improvement

    Just got a custom upgrade to my grille guard. Since I lack welding skills, my metal fab. is limited to what I can do with an angle grinder, drill, sawzall, hammers, vise with bolts to hold it together. As you can see from the before photo, that worked fine for my version 1.0 - no grille...

    Quicktach plate-mounted "scratcher" to clean up gravel ribbon driveway

    I've got about 300' of gravel ribbon driveway from the road to the house. It tends to get grass & weeds growing in the gravel ribbons. Due to the old trees planted along the drive and their roots, herbacide, paving and full excavation of the ribbons, installation of weed barrier and...

    FEL frame mounting pin fell off!

    Originally posted this in Fab/Mod section attached to an older posting, but decided it really belongs here as it was a pretty urgent repair. Had a serious pucker moment on Monday, so I decided to add to this post. The other day I was moving some concrete slabs with forks on the FEL. As I was...

    Need solution for erosion on drive slope into field

    Hi All - Am trying to come up with a solution to mud/erosion on a driving path (mostly the Kubota) into a field that I use quite a bit. Attached photos aren't mud at the worst, but give you an idea. The easy solution is never to drive it unless it's dry - great in theory, but not gonna...

    Adapting SSQA forks for use on 3PH quicktach

    I'd like to modify the pallet forks for my tractor (they mount to the front end loader using skid steer quick attach, SSQA) so that I could also be able to hang them on my Speeco 3 point quicktach on the rear of my tractor. There are aftermarket 3ph to SSQA adapters, but that's overkill/overcost...

    Piranha Tooth Bar Safety Guard

    Just got my tooth bar from BXpanded. So far do good, After reading all of the posts about various body parts snagged on Piranhas, I decided to make a safety guard as a preemptive measure. Since I tend to keep bits & pieces around, I had a short section of corrugated drain tile lying around...

    B3350 - operating instructions you need, but not in the manual

    I'll start with the information I got from my dealer and the state service rep along with my NEW operating instructions and then give you my backstory. The B3350 does not have common rail or electronic fuel injection - it has mechanical fuel injection paired with electronics that "monitor" the...

    Carryall/fork aerial work platform

    Just put together my carryall/fork aerial work platform for my Kubota B3350 - version 1.0. I needed a stable work platform that would get me 7' - 8' in the air to clean up a lot of pine trees (safely), I wanted to have an organized work area when I'm in the air and after looking at the great...
