The tooth bar is good. You can rent a grapple if needed. The grapple will really speed up the project since you won't have to chain up logs to move them and less hand work moving brush piles. Be careful when using a tooth bar or grapple when digging out brush and sapplings near trees that you...

Ouch! Sorry it happened. I'm glad my barn has a 12 foot high door.

The stump bucket will not damage your loader. The hydraulics will top out before any damage. But like with all machines don't use speed to do the work. Do not turn while driving the stump bucket into the ground. This puts excessive side loading on the lift arms.

Deffinatly get a stumper with teeth or cutting edge in front and cutting serrations going up the sides. I would think about getting the stump bucket with the narrower point. Easier to drive under roots. If you start running into larger / tougher roots you will need the cutting edges. Also be...

I like it. I might add the receiver hitch to mine.

Thanks for all the info. I was talking to my brother in law about my needs and he said he has a stainless steel box with a hinged lid that he got as part of a surplus military auction that measures 2.5' x 2.25' x 2'. He thinks it is 10 gauge stainless. There are a couple of holes and vents in it...

I am searching in vain for a large ballast box for my L5740. I have a 900 pound Western Prodigy snow plow that I need to counter balance and can't seem to find a box that holds enough material to weigh 1200-1400 pounds. Can someone help me find one? Thanks.

88 degrees and 80% humidity.

I was brush mowing yesterday with my L5740 and stopped to pull a branch off the mower deck. I looked up and noticed a small whisp of white smoke coming from the rubber tube that serves as the hydrostatic vent. I pulled out the dipstick and a small amount of white smoke came out also the fluid...

I need to add a ballast box to my 5740. I want to fill it with pea gravel that weighs in at 140 per cubic foot. I want about 1300# of box plus pea gravel. So it cooks like I will need about 7 cubic feet capacity box. I could not find any ballast boxes listed on the Kubota site and the ones I...

I had the same problem with a skid steer. What worke for me was a 3 foot long section of 2" pipe. Put it over the end of the lever and see if that gives you enough leverage. Mine opened up with with minimal force applied. Make sure to clean everything well and lube till it moves freely. My...

I kind of suspected it was too good to be true. The video makes it seem this is a common practice to up power output.

Has anybody increased their horsepower by increasing the amount of fuel delivered by the injector pump by adjusting the fuel bypass valve? Just saw a video made by the guys at Everything Attachments and was amazed that they increased the PTO horsepower from 76 hp to 107 hp by turning the screw...

Like Baddog said there are many types of bronze. Back when I was designing dies and machinery all our high pressure wear surfaces used aluminum bronze. The major alloying material is aluminum which gives it wear resistance and oxidation resistance. It is very tough and will work very well as a...

Had no idea propylene glycol came in red color. When we filled my brother inlaws tractor it was clear.

If it's beet juice it will have a red tint and is very sticky when rubbed between your fingers. Chloride will be milky and translucent. Washer fluid will smell like windshield washer fluid. If propylene glycol is used it will be clear with a slightly oily feel to it. Chloride and beet juice will...

Thanks for the info about weight ratings. A friend is borrowing me his goose neck equipment trailer that he hauls his 9500 pound excavator with. I have a GMC 3/4 ton pickup with a Duramax diesel to pull it. Should work out fine.

I think I'll have to talk my brother in law into buying a bigger trailer.:rolleyes:: Thanks.

Interested in a L5740 manuals.

The specs for my 2008 L5740 say that the cab model weighs 4223 pounds but does not specify if that weight includes the LA854 loader and bucket. If it does not, does anyone know what the loader and 72" bucket weigh? I want to haul the tractor on my brother in laws trailer and it has a 6600 pound...
