    R1 tires vs R4

    The wheel weights helped a bunch with stability on slopes. I also have a set of forks that I use to move stuff around. I do use it mostly on hard pavement but some dirt/mud work.

    R1 tires vs R4

    I have a total of 300 lbs of wheel weights on the rear and I have a box blade attached during loader operation. Thanks for the reply.

    R1 tires vs R4

    Yeah I have found some r4s that are the same size. I am just not sure about the total circumference being equal. Thank you

    R1 tires vs R4

    I have been doing a lot of loader work with my Kubota B7510. My concern is, I bought R1 (or as I know em as agg. tires) for it and the max pressure says 22psi. Well the front tires sag/squat very bad at that pressure. I am considering replacing them with some R4’s for more sidewall strength...

    Pin on loader pins

    Has anyone ever changed out the pins on their FEL with pins that have handles on them. I am trying to make it easier to remove and install them. I am in the process of making a frame for some pallet forks and I was thinking this would make it easier to swap from bucket to forks. I know about all...

    Fluorescent lights

    Yeah you are correct. I worked for a local school district and they switched all of ours with the same conclusion. The funny was they said it would pay for itself in 3 years. But before 3 years go by they changed them again. The contractors made out like bandits. All things considered I think...

    Fluorescent lights

    I had the 4 foot fixtures already so I just bought the 4 foot LED replacement bulbs. I like the ones that you can wire direct from one end. You just eliminate the ballast all together. I got them at Home Depot. You just use the old fixture and the “tombstones” to hold the bulb.

    Fluorescent lights

    Yeah…..kinda what I thought. I do like the LED ones, they even work better in the cold. And messing with the ballasts gets annoying. I do feel like I am at a greater risk of dying in a car crash on the way to the recycler’s place than dying from mercury vapor poisoning. LOL Thanks guys

    Fluorescent lights

    I was working in my shop the other day and noticed it was not as bright as it used to be. Of course there were some bulbs out. So I decided to install some new ones. This is where it gets interesting. I have the 2 bulb 4 ft fluorescent fixtures fastened end to end on the trusses. Over the years...

    Kubota bx2370 mower deck won’t stay up

    I had the same problem with my MMM. I have a B7510 and I could not keep the mower deck at a consistent height. I ended up using some heavy duty chain and clevises that hooked from the mower deck to the tractor frame. I adjusted the links for the HOC that I wanted. It seem to work for now.

    Friends don't let friends shovel dirt

    When you run it like that does the seat blow up and then bang back down when you stop? I have always wondered about backing on but I always think about the seat bouncing back and forth.

    FEL work

    Two things I think about. Keep in mind that, with the load out on the forks. That increases the leverage on the load. You are not lifting from the same point that your bucket is designed to lift. With that said I installed wheel weights about 280 lbs together and I run with box blade when I...

    Pond problem, algae bloom

    Yes aerate the pond. I have had small 1/4 acre pond for over 30 years. I keep fish in it and all kinds of wildlife. I started to have some cattails but they soon took over. I had to physically remove them. I had some trouble keeping fish for the first 10 years or so. The conservation department...

    Oil Change

    I use full synthetic. I usually don’t hit the hours used mark. It’s more of an annual thing. Synthetic oil does not absorb moisture as much as “organic” oil or regular oil. Just my 2 cents.

    Battery maintainers

    Quick question. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on using battery maintainers. Thank you.

    Wanted to buy

    I am not sure what the mower deck is worth but I know that it is worth 1000$’s to me just to keep as a backup mower. Just saying.

    Wanted to buy

    Yes I have all of the hardware. My tractor has a front end loader so I am not sure what hardware you need. I will get it out and take some pics. Right now it’s in my barn.
