    anyone ever use one of those fixed non-spinning brooms?

    I live on a private road, 1 mile long with asphalt. My 17 neighbors and I have a road association and do all the maintenance, even paving. Of course it's not the smoothest and is sometimes loose, but we save a ton of money and it holds up fine in our mild california weather. One of our major...

    confused with quick hitch bushings: category 2 or 3?

    I've got a titan quick hitch, which I presume is the same as most of the imported versions of the same thing. I know most implements need to have bushings to convert them from cat1 to cat2, as the quick hitch accepts cat2. However, cat3 fits tighter with less slop, so that's what I've been...

    ball hitch on the drawbar - is there a pin-on version?

    I've probably answered my own question, since I can't find one anywhere. But it got me thinking: why can't a trailer ball be pinned on instead of with the nut and lock washer? Of course the later is more secure, but I'd like to pull my little log splitter via the drawbar with the LX, unhook it...

    load distribution on FEL chain hooks

    brand new tractor user here, just took delivery of my LX2610! I'm about to put two of Ken's chain hook/clevis combos on the bucket, in line with the cylinders. I've chosen to not do a center hook/clevis (yet) wanting to avoid potentially bending the bucket. If I need to pull or lift something...

    $3000 for dealer installed top and tilt: fair?

    Still waiting for my LX2610SU to come in, may be months, but I'm already adding options! I'd like to add top and tilt, or at least two rear remotes so I can add it later. Dealer gave me a quick quote of $3k for the whole package installed, which is semi-attractive since I can get this as part...

    equitable way to purchase and/or share implements with neighbor

    my good friend/neighbor and I both have or will soon have new Kubotas (LX and an L). I know there are certainly some pitfalls, but I'm wondering what a fair and equitable way to purchase/borrow implements together? On the surface this sounds great. We both want a wood chipper, or flail...

    MSRP vs dealer pricing in the California Bay Area

    I've been researching and lurking for quite a while and am about to pull the trigger on a new LX2610SU. I have heard that most dealers are selling tractors below MSRP, in some cases 10-15%. But the two dealers near me are both a bit above MSRP, one by a grand. I'm in the California Bay Area...
