In addition to keeping water from flowing down that particular spot, you might drop a couple trees to get some light for some undergrowth for that section. Some grass/weeds and weed trees will hold soil on steep slopes from erosion pretty good. I have a couple spots that are quite steep off...

I found this service bulletin in my searching and I thought it would be better to have here for those of us with these tractors. Tractors made after May 2011 should already have the upgraded axles and bearings. I think it covers all the Bobcat, Cub cadet, McCormick, model numbers as well. The...

Yes, after reading a bit on here many years ago, I do now make a point to have something on the 3pth, but the rear blade is only 3-400 lbs, so not a huge amount with a 900lb bale on the front, in the winter, but that only a dozen or so, 200 yard trips. I have done a lot of dirt work over the...

I could get away with just replacing the outer bearing with the same and the one seal which would be a $100 fix. But given how easy this could've been expensive gears and cases, I'll do the next two bearings up the line as well, put in the improved bearing, and then I'll do the other side now too.

I just had my left front wheel outer bearing fail. Heard an odd screechy tearing sound, looked under the hood, and then the axle and saw the leaking seal. Dropped the loader and skidded on the back wheels and bucket to the shop. Took some thinking and and some extra weight on the rotary mower...

I guess you could try to improve the drainage around your path so the base isn't saturated with water when it freezes. How deep does your ground freeze? If its not too deep, and you have a place to drain water away, you could try a french drain down below the frost line on one side of your...

Sounds like your loader mount isn't installed level? I imagine there must be a bit of adjustment available. Maybe loosen the high side mount bolts and see if that side slips down a fraction, levelling the loader?

Using the tractor hydraulics I think they are bit slow compared to a good mini ex, but get off the tractor and use a shovel for a while if you get frustrated, then the backhoe will seem fast enough! From what I've seen they are certainly powerful enough to dig with the bucket sized for the...

A used sub compact 2wd kubota/ford/diesel tractor without a loader should be available well under $10k. Even 4wd ones too I guess if you've got the hills to need it. Some had mid mount mowers and all would run a nice size 3pt finish mower? I see a new kioti C52210 is $12k too. That could be...

Do you find that you get any freeplay in the front axle after a year? I grease the pivots with the wheels off the ground and give everything a hard shake and it seems tight as new with the same amount of slight friction when pivoting the axle by hand that its always had? The manual says check...

Check the governor? Probably mechanical I assume, It may not be reacted enough to decreasing rpms?

I was wondering how they shipped with the cab, but it looks like they are all assembled and weather proof, so no big deal. Probably a bigger deal with an open station where it just has some plastic over it, basically trapping moisture, which is never a good thing... Ideally I wouldn't...

Assuming the OP has done his research and is happy with either tractor at whatever price they are at, I wouldn't worry about a tractor sitting in a dry crate for months. I would look at it carefully for water damage, and getting into somewhere its not supposed to be. If that's fine and he...

Sorry I forgot about you Eric! Doh! I do subscribe to your channel as well, but you do have a point, that the algorithm hasn't spit out one of your videos for me in a while. I have made a few comments on Sandy's videos as he has the same tractor, so maybe that's why I see him more. I do like...

Have you found Sawing with Sandy? www.youtube.com/@sawingwithsandy That's the only one I follow, as he was not getting sponsored for quite a few years, and so his videos were more relatable to me at least :ROFLMAO: No free attachments or tractors falling out of the sky at my place! Now he's...
