    Best cut-off wheel on earth!!

    I have a plasma cutter, recip saw, jig saw, grinder with abrasive wheel and the diamond cutoff wheel, JET water cooled bandsaw, as well as a 20v die grinder with carbide bits. For general cuts, fastest way to get the job done, most flexibility, ease of use, portability (my grinders are 60v and...

    Best cut-off wheel on earth!!

    If you guys REALLY want your mind blown....get a lenox MetalMax diamond cutting wheel. They EASILY last 100x longer than an abrasive wheel, no dust, don't get smaller, don't shatter, and cut sheetmetal like butter and I've used them all the way up to 1/2" steel. Worth every penny and then...

    What kind of chainsaw you have?

    I'm a Stanley Black and Decker (and Dewalt) employee and love their products. I have a Husky 257 modded up to a 262 for my big stuff, but I use my Flexvolt (60v) DeWalt saw for limbing and smaller stuff. I took a 26" oak down with my Flexvolt the other day, granted the battery was dead by the...

    B8200 aftermarket FEL

    A FEL is going to run you $3000-4000 new...they're not cheap. Often you're better off getting the whole machine with FEL than to get one and add it...BUT if the machine is clean and you REALLY want to go down the path you have two viable options. A. Find a used BF300 loader on the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Mike9, its advisable to only use the 911 IF you gel up...but you can use Power Systems fuel supplement (or other brands) to PREVENT it from gelling...and to lubricate the injectors and pump and so on. 911 can cause damage if used often or consistently. Its not designed to be used as a...

    B9200 bent pushrods

    Wolfman mentioned the timing gear issue before I could mention it...if that had failed, I could see that possibly being the root cause. Any update on the condition of the timing gear? Assuming timing gears and cam are good, I'd say JeffL is right on the money...

    Twin Pedal Mod B1550

    Awesome job! I'm jealous! I'd love that on my L3710! This is one of the few things that JD does on their hydrostat machines "better" than Kubota. Great engineering, design and implementation. So....how much to fab one for a L3710? I think you could easily make this a pretty profitable...

    Looking for BT2914 24" backhoe bucket, L48

    You might have good luck getting a wain-roy or similar adapter for your Kubota so you can put any bucket on it and quick change them. I have one on my Takeuchi TB125 and love it. Otherwise, I'm not sure you'll find someone selling your exact bucket but good luck!

    2011 RTV 500 Low Compression

    Cool to hear that you ended up getting your RTV running for what sounds like $1500 between the purchase and parts...and then a few dozen hours of labor. Now you need to make sure to change your oil at the factory recommended intervals, as well as the coolant every 5 or so years....same with...

    Towing heavy logs with the rear bucket BH 92 backhoe, l4701

    You are risking damage to your hydraulic cylinders (bending) or possibly bending your backhoe boom or dipper, as well as potential damage to the pins. The damage often occurs when the tractor is moving and the thing you are towing is not. For instance you're moving along and the log becomes...

    Not my ad but figured I'd pass it along since the price is right. http://hartford.craigslist.org/grd/5923107274.html

    Salt in da wood stove

    Yeah Skeets, you definitely invented a million dollar idea. The nice plastic/fiberglass rods connect with spring loaded buttons and it really is easy to use and produces great results. Making the end compatible with trimmer string is a genius idea, not too aggressive but knocks all the...

    Anyone transport their tractor in a dump trailer

    I have moved my L3710 several times with my drop axle 6x12 10k dump trailer and 2500HD duramax. The trailer and tractor tow fine...no complaints. With the tires loaded, my machine weighs in close to 6000lbs. I did install tie downs in the bed so I can strap the machine down effectively. If...

    Salt in da wood stove

    I have been woodburning for many years and I learned a new trick just a few years ago...I had gotten a Groupon for chimney cleaning for like $75 so I thought I got a great deal....the guy shows up at the house with no ladder!! I'm thinking what sort of scam is this? So he proceeds to pull out...

    L3010HST no mid range

    You STOLE that thing! I would suggest running some good diesel conditioner/injector cleaner thru that, maybe even some marvel mystery oil in the fuel as well. You may need to advance the injector pump, or clean injectors, or like you said just run it hot and hard. I would suggest in...

    SOLD: RC60-92H deck

    Re: WTS: RC60-92H deck I had a B9200 with this deck on it and loved it. It mowed great and I was able to nail my lawn in record time. Mine was way more beat up than this, someone had off roaded the tractor with the deck on it....these usually go for $500-1000 to the right buyer...but since it...

    Snowblower chute rotation

    The #40 setup looks pretty official. Looks involved with cutting apart the sprocket and disassembling the winch to get the sprocket on there too.. What issues did you face with the cable? Cable seems to be more forgiving and easier to set up...

    Snowblower chute rotation

    Thanks for posting up this video! I'm planning on the exact same design for my 72" blower on my L3710 over the next few weeks. I'll post pics of the finished product as well.

    Rebuilt loader lever linkage on L3710/LA682

    Man, talk about a night and day difference! Bought the new bushing for the side to side and new sleeve for the up and down, swapped those out...then shimmed the side to side (bucket tilt) with a few washers to move the lever to a less worn part of the linkage, lubed it all up, and put it back...
