top soil in my area is quite expensive. so I purchased a 4x8 piece of extruded steel mesh for a dirt screen. My intention is to screen the spoil from ditches and other dirt works. I do not have a trailer and have no intention of removing the backhoe to put a hitch on. So I am thinking about...

The small bolt that holds the stand arms bent on the loader allowing the arm to drag. I straightened the pin and have the arm up but it is obviously not in the correct position. is the only purpose of the pin to hold up the stand arm? I have been meticulous about maintenance so I am not sure...

I purchased a new sgc 0660 grapple that has a stand on one side. The manual shows a stand on both sides but my dealer says that all the grapples they sell only have the one stand. The stand is a poor solution because it is easy to forget it is down and easy to bend when down. (speaking from...

I built the new tractor shed and the road /trail going up to the shed is very wet. I tried putting a piece of pipe across the road but it made only a small difference I bought 100 ft of big O and plan to put in a curtain trench above the shed/ road . I am on the side of a hill and the whole...

Hi I was wondering if anyone has a spread sheet or fillable maintenance worksheet for the 50 100 150 hour ... maintenance. When I did the 50 hr I printed out the sheet filled it out and left it in the garage. I just did my 100hr and it would be nice to have a digital version. I also do not want...

I purchased a used hla sb1000 snow plow with hydraulic angle. My third function has two male 1/4" quick couplings. The snow plow has 1/2" male quick couplings on 3/8 hoses. I purchased 2 kubota 1/4" style female quick couplings and went to my local hardware store thinking I would easily find a...

Hi I know I wasI saw it somewhere on this site but I have some 22 ft roof trusses to lift up on to 10 ft walls. did someone make a boom that went on a bucket to lift the trusses? thank you

I have read a few horror stories of Kubota Dealers not being very good on this site . And this being my first new tractor I did not know what to expect. I purchased my Tractor from Chris at Nova International in Alysford Nova Scotia. I bought it the end of November at a lower price that MSRP...

I have a quick question on roof trusses I am building for the small shed so the span is 9 ft wall to wall and 10 ft overall. I am building the truss in the picture that I have seen at a couple of building centers and Menards but realized that most of the pics show the top chord passing by the...

I have a large area of meadow that I want to put a path thru. The meadow was dry when we put the original trail in but quickly deteriorated when the farmall left ruts last year. Now it is virtually impassable. The funny thing it is on a slope. I would like to use the backhoe and put a shallow...

This last winter we had devastaing storms that took down many spruce trees on the shore it was sad to loose the large spruce trees. But with a lot of help from the kubota . We will build a tractor shed later this summer. The Quote from the local building supply for a 16x24x 10 building is...

Almost 50 hours on the tractor and I managed to break the casting that holds the pin for the swivel. I must not have had the pin in all the way. :mad: the backhoe is also leaking from the bank of fittings and valves under the platform. I am going to do the 50 hour service in the next couple of...

I am building a tractor shed and prepping the area for a engineered slab. The land was course forest land. I have taken the trees and roots out and would like to get the area ready so the cement/slab contractor can set the footing and pour with little or no additional excavation. The ground...

I have about 10 hours on the backhoe. I have cleared an area for my tractor shed. dug out the ditch and laid rock in and dug out some large stumps. put in deep fence corner posts. So I am beginning to get a little more comfortable with the backhoe. At first it was quite concerning when it...

I did it I left the brake on while hauling 8" stone. just for a short distance because I could not figure out why the tractor was struggling. Even my 1980's honda rider has a loud beep if you leave the parking brake on and put it in gear. does anyone have an easy solution to warn when the...

I have acres of brush and part of my intention for the grapple and backhoe was to quickly remove the brush without getting off the tractor and using a chain to pull each individual plant. the plant are 1" - 3" and from 2 ft to 12 ft. I will get some pics today to post. I tried using the...

The guy I buy my beef from has a pto generator and mentioned to me that he needs to find a way to increase the pto speed as he has to run close to wot on his 45 hp tractor to get the correct frequency. I thought I would ask on this knowledgeable site to see if any one knows of a gearbox to...

Has anyone mounted a winch on the front of the tractor? or somehow on the back `with the backhoe on, I am thinking the backhoe grapple and a winch all at the same time would let me clear brush, skid logs and carry the logs and brush to the respective piles. without changing implements. I am...

I have a lp sgc0660 grapple that is almost new i have maybe 3 hours on it. when I try to close the grapple sometimes it works fine other times it will not close and seems to try to close but does not move more than an inch. It actually did the same thing when the tech delivered the tractor. but...

I have a fairly deep ditch that runs across the front yard. it is eroding into my driveway (stupid chickens) and I could use some suggestions on how to improve the area. There is a fairly large maple tree that we would like to help and want to keep it alive. the last picture is the flooding, we...
