    Kubota Plug, hyd oil port plug, L2550DT4, crankcase (front)

    Greetings all, I need a little direction here. The below email was my attempt to replace the attached picture item; Messick's confirmed that the part numbers shown within were the correct items and I ordered same. However, the plug is NOT vented and does NOT have the rubber tube extension...

    Landscape rake on ATV?

    CaveCreekRay, Too clever! I like it and it very well could work even if I attached it to my ATV rear end. Would probably add hinge for rope lift or such. Thank you! Sent from my KFSUWI using Tapatalk

    Landscape rake on ATV?

    Lil foot, Yes I have done that in the past and can continue to tractor rake for awhile yet. The compounding problem is that the 1,100 ponderosa trees are doing so well that they are already outgrowing my 10ft x 10ft planted quadrants! Lol Sent from my KFSUWI using Tapatalk

    Landscape rake on ATV?

    Lugbolt Yikes, you are correct. I hadn't thought about the drive belt concern for wear and tear; probably not a good idea to pursue. Thank you Sent from my KFSUWI using Tapatalk

    Landscape rake on ATV?

    Fordtech86 Yes I am familiar with this type of rake and probably should have purchased it in lieu of their acreage rake for the ATV. Unfortunately, the acreage rake was not the correct application for my needs and the company would not assist in return and or exchange for their landscape rake. I...

Unfortunately, when I laid out my 80 rows of trees I did not leave enough turning radius for the tractor and equipment to perform properly. The tractor does have a FEL but I don't...

    Rock Rake

    I tried the 3pt rotating wheel design and it was a disaster for pine needles and cones. Finally purchased a 3pt King Kutter Landscape Rake and am quite pleased - the tines are heavier. I maintain 1,100 pine trees on my property and also use the rake for debris/limbs and small rock piling and...

    Engine shutdown : Pull lever vs ignition switch?

    Is there an issue using my ignition switch to shut down the engine versus pulling the inoperable kill switch lever? Refer L2550DT / 1988. Thank you Sent from my GT-P5210 using Tapatalk
