    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Destructed a retaining wall. We will build it back with a different design tomorrow. It was originally built without tractor a few years ago and too close to our bush. Some critter liked to burrow in it close to the bush which made it hard on the bush. The dogs dug for them. It was about 3...

    Dealer runaround?

    But, there is also just the possibility that the salesman didn't realize there was a TSB. When he spoke to the service manager for final check, the service manager said ... we have to do the TSB. I'm assuming most tractors don't require a TSB to be completed before delivery. Oops. Someone...

    Dealer runaround?

    What kind of response were you wanting? I don't see why you have an issue with the people here.

    Damn! I feel like a newby.

    As long as you got it back working, that's all that matters.

    Thanks, PennDOT

    I agree it's not how much we are paying. Some people just don't care whether they are government or private company employees.

    Thanks, PennDOT

    Fwiw, the local power company replaced our underground power lines and left a mess last fall along our unmaintained by county road. It was too late to fix before Winter. In any case, I fixed it this Spring. No, they shouldn’t have left it that way, but complaining doesn’t get it fixed. Good...

    L3902 vs L3560 Implements

    The 5 HP rule is just an approximation. It depends on how fast, how low, and how often you want to mow. Fwiw, I have a 72 that I use with my L2501HST. It was recommended by my dealer to be wide enough to go next to/under fences. Unless your ground is really smooth, you won't be going...

    long range weather procrastinators

    Look at all of the forecasts and the almanac. Then, go outside and look up. When you look up, you'll see if it is snowing or not. ;)

    Rim Guard

    I've never seen a tire that has Rim Guard molded in that is the Beet Juice derived Rim Guard product. If you think about it, it doesn't make sense to imply that the tire is filled when it isn't even installed. Fwiw, my rims have a Rim Guard sticker.

    New Cars/Trucks

    Consider buying used, low mileage, well maintained vehicles in a model/brand that has a great reputation for reliability. Not all cars rust out after a few years. It depends on the area of the country. I used to trade every few years, too. That meant I was losing extra money every few years...

    Initial purchase list vs "wish list"

    The construction is different with thicker sidewalls on the R4.

    Rubber or Chain guards on Rotary Cutter

    I've heard some say that chains in back distribute the grass more evenly.

    Leveling a Land Pride Quick Hitch / Proper Angle for Brush Hog

    Do yourself a favor and watch the video I posted the link to. It explains how to set one up from the perspective of a manufacturer.

    Initial purchase list vs "wish list"

    If you are going to be at least in DPF land, I'd buy the 3902 if you are set on regular L. I'd also consider the LX since you are wanting "smaller". You don't mention what you plan to do with each implement. The grapple requires a 3rd function valve which ups the price quite a lot. You can...

    In search of a better truck for towing the M6060 and folding cutter.

    You obviously can which is why other engines are made. I'm assuming your F650 has the 7.3. The older models have almost zero power in comparison. Sure, the later model emission systems make it harder to keep a diesel going, but they can make high mileage, too. There are people all over the...

    Dipping toes in the world of Welding

    Try your neighbors welders if they will let you. Like Kubotas, some welding machines are better than others. Maybe make a list of the projects you might do and include whether you plan to work outside or not.

    Hydrant Head Replacement?

    I can't make out the brand, but some brands have all of the replacement parts. Some are made to replace parts without digging them up.

    Securing factory warranty when buying from private seller

    I don't get the point in asking the owner questions. They can say whatever. I do think it's worth having a checklist to verify that everything works for the model you are interested in. Those would depend on the general condition of paint etc whether the filters are still painted on and the...

    3% in New Hampshire

    Businesses have been charging extra for CC for a long time. The first place I saw it was at a gun store. Frankly, I feel like it's a way to avoid raising their prices. I can kind of see it for items like guns that can be pretty competitive on price. For almost anything else, I think it's...
