    L2501 Boom Sprayer Options

    Last year I bought a Remcor 3 point boom sprayer and spray wand with a 55 gal tank and it worked great with Duracor and an MSO (not 80/20) to kill the weeds in our pasture. I did the clean out procedure and then filled it with a few gallon of RV antifreeze and put it on blocks in the tractor...

    KMS 180 backhoe / backactor Metal in oil and how to fix it.

    The large piece of steel inside the tank probably didnt come from inside the system.

    KMS 180 backhoe / backactor Metal in oil and how to fix it.

    I would have new lines made since you already have them off. It will save you the trouble of cleaning them or having them burst and make a mess while on the job.

    KMS 180 backhoe / backactor Metal in oil and how to fix it.

    After the cylinders are out for repair I would replace the pump. Those little shavings are from it more than likely. Tring to rebuild it may not be the best the since the heat treated surfaces have been damaged and the soft steel core will wear much quicker and contaminate the system and ruin...

    Hay Bale Spear Options for L2501

    Hay Bale Spear Options for L2501

    I dont think we will need more than 10 bales for the winter for the next few years. We have a pasture of mixed grasses some of which is rye and it grows in cool weather. I can pick up bales with my trailer if they are not down the road from us and move them into the barn with the tractor. The...

    Deene Kubota: If It's Not the Most Highly Rated Kubota Dealership I'd Be Surprised

    Everyone interested in buying a Kubota tractor should call Deene Kubota in Forney, Texas and speak to Alex Marquez before they purchase a tractor or implement. They are the gold standard for customer experience and customer service out of all of the tractor dealerships I contacted in Texas and...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    We may not have KR Blue Stem. I didn't see it growing in clumps like KR does where it was the only grass present.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I was told by a local farmer is was “a lot of Blue Stem”. It was tall when I mowed it and yes in some places I did have to go over the tire tracks but the mower did a good job when the grass went under the cutter. I was no going very fast. That may have had something to do with it.
