We're in day 9 of the cold snap. One really needs a good reason to be outside longer than the time it takes to shuttle from the truck to the door. ( no livestock here ). I'm going crazy. My wife would love me to find somewhere else to stir about. Even my go to back up which is high school...

I have a driveway gate which is functional but is on my project list for this winter. The 16' tube gate is in fine condition and I plan on reusing it. The post are not plumb and need to be reset or more likely, replaced. I also would like to install a solar opener with a lock option...

My L3130 just hit 400 hrs. I priced up the cost of the recommended parts for a DIY 400 hr service from my local Kubota dealer and I'm looking at >$600 for filters and fluids. I'm tempted to go off brand but then, it will be a while until the next service. Anyone have thoughts Kubota brand vs...

Thought I'd share my solar build in the hope it would help someone down the line. I have a pole barn off the grid. Someday I may run a line up from the road but I can't justify the expense at this time. Instead, I installed this simple solar build. This system will run basic power tools...

Hi Folks, I have a few acres which were worked with a dozer last year. I have replanted some, with more planting to be done this fall. The dirt work has created a serious musk thistle outbreak. I have been mowing to prevent them from going to seed. I'm sure a few will seed as they lay...

I have a 18’ tender car hauler. I want to be able to move it safely and with precision in my concrete floored shed. The goal would be to snug it up along a wall when not in use. Think I could do so with one of those dollys from Harbor Freight? Any other ideas? I can’t do it with my truck as...

I have a 40 X 60 Pole Barn without electricity. I use it to store trailers, seldom used equipment, etc. Running power and setting up a panel would be costly. I don't even have electrical on the property so it would require starting from scratch. I'm thinking I'd like to store a boat with a...

I have a Pole Barn with a concrete floor. The building has been there since 92. When I bought the place 2.5 years ago, I noticed there was an outside corner where varmints had dug a hole under the concrete and I assume they have set up a nice hang out under my floor. Over the past few years I...

Hi Folks, I know we have a number of threads on this topic and many have sophisticated refueling systems ( someday perhaps ) but many still fill a 5/6 gallon container and pour it in. As I age, the process of hoisting the full can up for a funnel pour has become less attractive. I bought...

I have a 5' Land Pride. My local dealer claims the blades never need to be sharpened ( at least that's one persons opinion ). Do you all sharpen your Rotary Mower glades and if, how do you do it?

As stated above, I see a 1984 M4050 is available. It as 5002 hrs showing. I'm sure I'll have no reliable service history as it's a used tractor dealer. Seems like a lot of hours but I just want it as a designated mower. I haven't personally inspected it yet but pictures look ok. Any top...

I was brush hogging with my L3130 this afternoon. I'm mowing tall weeds which are tall but dried out. After about 2 hours I look down and see my machine temp is 3/4 of the way to the right. I was by the shop so I shut it down and inspected. The weeds are dirty and my radiator was smothered...

I’m going to need to haul my tractor with FEL and Rotary mower. I have a double axel car hauler rated for the job. I need to purchase either a set of chains and binders or HD Straps. I see they are about 50/50 on the thread of pictures with loaded trailers. I like the idea of straps for...

I have a L3130 ( 31 HP ). I also have a 5' Land Pride Rotary Mower currently on the rear. I'm seeding 18 acres of CSP Wildlife habitat which will require mowing several times per year the first few years and the occasionally there after. I will also have to regularly mow some field edges...

Is there a good reference site for the models through years? I'm more interested in the modern era ( since the 90's ). Also, are there anything in the model numbers that give you a clue as to what your looking at? For example, I thought I heard that if the model ends with a " 0 " vs ending...

I have a FIMCO 40 gallon sprayer. I've used it to apply a glyphosate cocktail ( Glyphosate, AMS & a surfactant ) successfully on a number of occasions. Yesterday, I added 2, 4 D to the cocktail and I had had some sludge buildup which clogged the sprayer tips horribly. I eventually got tank...

This may seem like an insignificant problem and in the big picture, it is. However, I regularly need to travel to the back side of my property and the pasture is rougher than I'd like ( brutally rough ). To my knowledge, there's never been a trail or road. All I want is a way to efficiently...

I've read my manual and I'm still unclear. This should be the stuff. Correct? My manual also suggest a cleaning. I know it's over due. Prestone flusher as well? Any watch outs if I follow the manual? Thanks.

First, my new pole barn needed some grading work. It was built on an East - West Slope so I spent a number of evenings rearranging my yard to assure proper drainage. The end result was the need for quite a bit of dirt removed from the high side and some of it moved over to the low side to...

I have a 40 gallon Finco 3 point Sprayer which serves my needs just fine. Unfortunately, the tank has a small leak around one of the bolts which holds the tank to the support frame. When full, I have a constant dribble. Last year during spay season, my every move could be tracked as you...
