    3-Point Hitch 1985 --- 7375 series Cub Cadet

    He changed the filters and hyd. full front loader works fine I would only guess it is hooked up correctly No backhoe could be 7275 I suppose it is around 30 hp , only putting info that was given to me , I am nowhere near where the tractor is. The feedback rod will be worth looking into -- thanks

    3-Point Hitch  1985 --- 7375 series Cub Cadet

    My friend bought this tractor not long ago and went to use the 3 pt. hitch and it will only go up at full throttle with absoulutely no load . The front end loader works just fine . The tractor did just sit for awhile so he has no idea where to start looking , if any of you can give him an idea...

    Knee replacement

    Had 2 hips replaced and a knee , the knee was by far the worst . I slept in a recliner for 3 months with the knee . I heard the new way they are doing it now isn't quite so invasive , time will tell on that one . All of my replacements after some time turned out way worth it .

    long time Kubota dealer

    The closet tractor dealer is 60 miles from me as John Deere closed down a couple years ago from my area. I didn't realize tractor supply did hyd. hoses . I found out that Napa did them so that is where I ended up getting it done.

    long time Kubota dealer

    I have owned several Kubota tractors and products over many years but very disappointed with Kubota and Messick service department as of late. I have a front mounted snow blower which is only 6 years old and they don't even list it for parts anymore. I tried to get help from a Messicks part...

    Love it but regret it

    My Kubota dealer doesn't want to trade tractors either as I tried to trade in my B2650 and the price they would give me for it was crazy low . I could easily sell it myself but I would still have to deal with the same dealer as there aren't any other Kubota dealers around where I live .

    HST Filter Change

    Mine has both and I changed both of mine at 50 hrs. . Filters are cheap compared to the alternative . Did you buy some fluid as you may be just a little low now ?

    Rear blade for snow on gravel, pipe or rubber mat?

    I use the pipe method on both front end loader and rear blade and they work very well for my needs . Even with the pipe on it can pick up some gravel if the ground is still soft from wet snow etc., especially with the bucket . I have some paved areas but mostly gravel , about 600 ft. of gravel...

    A few pics from today’s square baling

    Been their and done that . My grandfather had horses back in the day. I can remember he would put me on the back of an old work horse for a ride when he would be plowing up ground . As I got older I would help him hay , all loose hay . He never did ever have a tractor it was only a family farm ...

    Advice on 25 hp tractor purchase

    My dealer talked me into a light duty ( land pride ) 5 ft. brush hog for my 25hp 2650 kubota and I could cut grass with it fine but I always thought it was to much for the tractor as far as weight went. I sold it as I was that much disappointed with it on that tractor . I wouldn't have wanted to...

    Oil & Fuel hyd. filter change

    Thanks for all the replies , after talking with the dealer I decided to replace the 2 filters with new fluid . I am almost 80 yrs. old and will never have to do this again as the tractor is used less than 40 hrs. per year now . It just wasn't worth the chance of getting some contamination in the...
