I am looking for suggestions on how to improve the looks of the support for my lean to fly rafters. I have 2’ overhangs all the way around this barn / shop and the lean to rafters are 17’ long. You can see the two areas in the photo that I am trying to improve the looks of. The “ledger” beam...

I’m in the market for a 14’ / 14k dump trailer for my hobby farm. Kaufman by far has the lowest prices but I don’t know how much of that is the factory direct factor vs the build quality factor. anyone here own a Kaufman dump trailer that can give me some insight into their durability? thx

I am going to have three gardens this year, each about 35’ x 70’ in size and am looking for suggestions on deer fencing. I have tried the fishing line method which worked OK but the turkeys got caught up in it and potentially injured so I am looking for other options. one question I have is...

It seems between the tractor, skid steer, backhoe and compactor that I am always running out of fuel. Granted I am doing the grading work to build a barn which will come to an end but I still think I want a better solution than 5-gal cans. I see where flo fast has some 10gal and larger jugs...

Hi folks, I am getting ready to build my first real barn and want to go with corrugated, agricultural roof panels but with my roofing being a gambrel I don’t think I will have enough help to install it myself. If anyone knows of a company in the Raleigh NC area that can install this type of...

I am getting ready to build a small barn for my tractor and other items and want it to look as much like an old barn as possible. I would like to use wooden lap siding but having trouble finding it for a good price. Fiber cement is an option but isn't my favorite to work with and metal is out...

I am getting ready to fence and gate my front field which will be the main access to my property and house. I am looking for gates but don't want the pure ag / utilitarian ones but also don't need an ornate iron one. Are there any go-to online sellers of driveway gates that I should look at...

Hi folks, I have the following happen twice over the last few weeks and seems to be quite intermittent and immediately following the "incident", the machine operates fine for hours. Occasionally, when I have the HST pedal in reverse and I lift my foot to slow down, it keeps going in reverse. I...

I am planning to build a pole barn as my first accessory structure to my new house but not sure where to begin. I'm in the greater Raleigh, NC area and regardless of what I do, I will need engineered plans for my county (Chatham). the overall goal is to build an equivalent of an enclosed 2-car...

Hi folks, I was servicing my MX4800 yesterday and was unable to get the front axle support to accept grease. I had the breather plug removed, and I removed the grease fitting to see if was jammed but but once it was out of the tractor it easily let grease flow through. Any ideas on what is...

I am in central NC and I am getting ready to move into our new house on 17-acres. Most of that land is wooded and within the woods are a good bit of streams, wetlands and riparian buffers so my "usable" land is probably more like 12-13 acres with 2-acres already cleared and formerly used to...

I think I have buggered up threads for one of my grease fittings on the top of my LA1065 loader arm for my MX4800. I thought it may have been the fitting but a new one didn’t thread in properly either so I think I need to clean up the threads. What size tap will I need for these fittings? thx!

I hate dealing with hot weather and grease guns since they all seem to leak the oil that gets separated out of the grease due to heat and get all over the place and makes the grease gun and hose slippery. Is there such a thing as a grease gun that doesn't leak; if so which one? Thanks

I’m looking for a used UTV due to cost considerations but so far I’m only finding junk listed for sale and there seem to be way too many options out there. Obviously, this is a Kubota forum but I would love some input on which brands of UTVs are durable and worth picking up used. I am planning...

I have an MX4800 and will soon need to install 3 or 4 rail fencing across areas of my property. My soil is sandy loam on top, then clay without any rocks. I don't envision using this tool that much after the fence goes in so for cost reasons I am focusing on 3-point versions and not a SSQA...

I had a leaking battery a few months ago and had to jump the tractor to start it. I have since replaced the battery but ever since jumping it I have been stuck with the P0606 code. I read the procedure in another thread about how to clear it if it is type B but I don’t believe my code is type...

I'm having trouble finding a grab hook for my MX4800 draw bar with a 1" pin. I have one with a 3/4" pin but it is driving me nuts being installed in a 1" hole. Anyone here know where I can find a grab hook for the 1" hole? Thanks!

I'm looking to fill the on-board tool box for my MX4800 with the most common tools that I would need for the machine. Obviously, I can do a lot with a pair of adjustable wrenches but I would also like to include some fixed size wrenches in the box as well. What are the typical wrench sizes...

well, i took delivery of my CID grapple and went to hook it us just to find that my tractor has agricultural hydraulic fittings on the 3rd function and the grapple has skid steer fittings. I'm not sure what other implements I am likely to use that would require the 3rd function so would I be...

I will be using a hiller for the first time this spring on my MX-4800 to prepare several small vegetable gardens. With the size of the tractor and tires a single-row hiller will give me rows spaced approximately 56" on center which seems kind of far for everything except vine type plants. If i...
