As a home inspector,I see a lot of failing retaining walls. My advice is to try to have your top ground layers made with clay that slows the water absorbsion somewhat. Topsoil on top will soak in the rain but the clay will transport the water toward the wall, assuming you have the slope towards...

I recently have added storage to two of my previously built buildings. The first was an old heritage barn I moved I'm from 9 miles away. I added a 10 wing on that that can shed my L5240 Kubota with cab. Then I added a shed roof on the side of my Quonset. This was initially designed to house my...

My 2008 L5240 with 1700 hours smokes under acceleration every time then stops. Doesn't seem to burn any oil. So each time I add load such as loader work or even changing direction. Every time it revs from idle. Original owner said it has done thus from new.

This is one drag I use. Rake with concrete blocks for weight, pulls easily even in high range.

I had a Kubota B3030 and upgraded to an L5240 with a cab. (Hydro) The new tractor pulls any sort of drag I put behind it. I highly recommend Kubota and a cab. Sorry no pictures of arena on this phone.

Not just good advice but humorous as well. I'll screen shot the responses and ask my mechanic friend what he thinks. The barn is a great spot to hold Pony club and 4-H events and birthday parties, otherwise rarely see a human or animal for that matter.

I have a questions and I'm sure someone has an answer. First of all my hydraulic pump seems to be making a ticking noise on my 2008 L5240 Kubota. It's quite loud in the cold weather in particular but I noticed it in the summer as well. In the fall I drained all the fluids and replaced all the...

For what it's worth, and I'll say I'm not at all experienced. Last fall I broke my radiator on my B5240 Kubota pushing brush like a bull dozer. Not wise but ... Anyway everyone told me I could not plastic weld the bottom of the rad because it was a special compound. I had a $1225 quote for a new...

I think the western world has very poor leaders and their poor choices have led to massive inflation. The gap in the classes continues to widen. Buying a new half ton will cost you between $60 and $100,000, who could have imagined that. I also think the pandemic fear has all but distroyed the...

Never heard of it.

I had a guy offer to do that but couldn't find the right rad so far to rebuild one. I'm hoping my repair holds and I won't need another one.

Awesome to hear!

I watched that video and looked around but no one here (Canada) seems to sell it. Was not willing to order it as it would take a long time to get most likely.

In case I do need to order new, what part number are you entering.

Someone locally told me tie straps are similar plastic but I don't know if that is true. Our local plastics company told me there is no way to plastic weld these which of course is by design.
