If you can spin the stick it's going to jam. I could never "make" it jam, darn well would jam in forward gear when facing a building or fence too. Limped it home one time in 4th gear to unstick it. Hired help and a crash box transmission won't mix on a good day. Good thing those 240s are so...

If in doubt stay off it, expensive and urgent problem to fix when it doesn't work.

I eliminated my 240 gear sticking issues by loosening the nut on the shifter lever and rotating it slightly. My shifter was "crooked" and it would jam, especially during a 4th to R shift in low range. I assume years of use caused it to pivot a little. I shift it a lot when I am using it...

Looks like it's not a convertible II to I hitch then. Certainly an unusual setup.

I'm going to guess it's not going to fit, it needs a "taller" tractor.

15.4 GPM pump on tractor running wide open will keep three men busy and the wedge never stops :-)

The pairing is how almost every Kubota dealer here started. The Kubota business grew so much that they either dropped the "original" brand or branched off to separate orange buildings/business. One Kubota dealer I use still has all the CaseIH parts manuals and carries some parts even though...

Might be regional, at least here almost every Kubota dealer WAS a "mainline" dealer for decades. One was JI Case/New Holland (pre Ford New Holland) then CaseIH/Kuhn and now just Kubota, another chain was International/CaseIH now Kubota, another chain Massey Ferguson/AGCO and Kubota. Again, full...

I agree, support needed if you can't do it yourself. Might be regional, most Kubota dealers around here are full line and very much into the Ag side of it versus the homeowner/grounds care. Kubota hay equipment has been out a few years and they have been pushing it heavy, keeping in mind it's...

Nice, makes it easy when you've got a little splitting to do and already something on the 3pt. I have the same 203 splitter here, it stays on it's own tractor while I'm in the splitting season.

This is true. I hay to feed cattle, which in turn generate manure which gets spread on the field. The fields that get manured every year yield very well, the ones that don't, need fertilized, limed reseeded.

Exactly. I mowed one field 9-10pm, was baling it 11 am the next morning. Was a clear windy night. I do use a tedder, mainly since it gains me a few hours and ensures it's all mixed uniformly (not dryish on top, wet on bottom)

Here it goes into the "garbage"
