    What is a leveling box?

    My Kubota M6040 has a leveling box on the right lower arm. Used mainly to assist in connection of Cat 2 implements. Also to angle or level land engagement implements that do not have this feature built in.

    June snow again

    I know it can get really cold here in the early AM. But it darn well better not be real snow. No cottonwood in the immediate area. It's 100% Ponderosa pines. Like your cottonwoods - my pines are in bloom right now. Everything is coated in a Limey-Green "dust". The wind blows - the...

    Grading scraper for Ford 1920

    I think we are talking about a land plane grading scraper here. These units are drug straight behind the tractor and not angled. Anyhow - get a unit that is wider than the rear tires and it will do fine. My driveway get exceptionally hard in the summer. So my LPGS has scarifiers. They...

    Grapple choices

    David - you have some really fine looking grassy meadows. Glad to hear that the modified grill guard did it's job. Some folks just have to learn the hard way.

    How many acres can I mow per hour?

    I'm retired. So time makes little difference to me. I mow when the sun shines and I can enjoy the ride.

    New equipment

    Hey!!! What a fantastic new piece of equipment. I've heard that a plastic surgeon can help remove that smile without surgery - if it's beginning to hurt. A suggestion. You need to modify your grill guard to protect your grill, radiator and battery. Sticks, limbs and stobs can find ways to...

    Over heating and vapor locking

    That is a nice, clean looking upgrade. However - you talk about different operating conditions. You down there in Georgia trying to keep thing cool. Up here in NE WA state - I'm still waiting for summer to kick in. Yesterday - just at dawn - I go out with my dog so he can do his business...

    What animal or bug makes a clicking

    I would seriously be pretty careful. A big 'ol rattle snake can make a noise that some might say is a "clicking noise". Otherwise - around here - June bugs will make a clicking noise if you pick them up and hold them in your hand. If this clicking noise is only when you move to a certain...

    sprayer came in, hose kinked

    I think the hose - as shown in your pics - will probably create flow problems. A new replacement will likely have the same problem. I would suggest the solution that WranglerX suggests. Cut the hose and install a rigid 90 degree elbow.

    How many acres can I mow per hour?

    My lawn goes around all my out buildings, house and several large pines. All tolled it's a tad over 2 1/2 acres. I have a JD 750 MMM with a 48 inch deck. I seldom mow it all at one time. But if I do - takes about 3 hours. Some of my lawns are smooth as a pool table. Others are meadows that...

    New Kubota Corrosion

    DEFINITELY!!! That is not normal. Something is going wrong there. I would ask Kubota to come have a look and ask for their appraisal of this condition. My Kubota M6040 fittings and all piping looks the same as the day I bought it - brand new.

    Do any of y'all seal, wax or ceramic coat your tractor??

    Sometimes it is just a lost cause. My mile long gravel driveway will soon be quite dusty. Top layer is - gravel, sand, silt & volcanic ash. This is the way it is here - living in the country.

    Ground Hogs

    My big nemesis now - pocket gophers. A couple areas already look like practice areas for the Army's Mobile Artillery. Most everything I've tried works. But for every one "put down" - two more come out of the bush to take his place.

    Rain

    As I thought. I'm up to 7.34 inches of rain since 1-1-2024. About 3/4 an inch in the last two weeks. We are having a very wet early summer.

    Bird Seed Bandit Strikes Again

    When we first moved here - I burned our garbage. We had several coons then. Then we got rural garbage service. No more coons since we quit burning.
