    Kubota Parts Pricing out of Control

    My tractor is an older L4310 the tie rod is bent on both sides of the adjusting rod/nut/thing. I found a replacement at Worthington and Reliable for $285. I'll probably go that route. Thanks for listening to me whine.

    Kubota Parts Pricing out of Control

    I know this is old news, but $540 for a tie rod and $80 for a hub oil seal?!? I'm going to have to roll the dice in the aftermarket.

    Shearing Clippers

    Update...I got the top of the line Andis clipper and a #4ft ceramic blade. That combined with the "chill pill" regiment from the vet got it done. My boy is clean, matt free and happy now. Thanks again for the advice.

    JD Gator Windshield

    My 2008 Gator windshield has become very crazed to the point where I can't see out of it. I removed it and called my JD dealer...the dealer suggested I get an aftermarket windshield as they are super expensive from JD. I was surprised by this answer. Can anyone recommend a good aftermarket...

    Shearing Clippers

    Thanks for the comments guys. My challenge with a groomer is that they are all "booked solid" and not taking new customers. Seriously, hard to believe I know. Also my dog doesn't easily get into the car to go to a groomer so it would have to be a groomer that comes to me, of which I have even...

    Shearing Clippers

    Folks, I have a question for the brain trust. I have a 120 pound Great Pyrenees LGD. He needs his fur to be clipped down as he's developed matts over the winter. Suffice it to say he doesn't like to sit still for grooming. I need a clipper that will get the job done in a hurry. I bought the...

    2006 John Deere Gator HPX

    Guys, I have an opportunity to buy a 2006 JD HPX. It is in pristine condition for a 2006. I has just under 500 hours, It has the 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel engine, automated dump bed, windshield, plastic canopy, LED lights in front and back. They are asking 10K. Do think this is a good deal?

    Cistern Pump

    Thanks guys, Harbor freight has a combo that was interesting but I'd just as soon have fewer components to break.

    Cistern Pump

    Folks, I'd like to use rainwater collected in a large cistern to water my lawn. Do I simply need a sprinkler pump or should I also get a pressure tank/pump combo?

    Sub compact more Nimble?

    Folks, I presently have a Kubota L4310 which has been a great tractor for my needs. Lately my wife is suggesting that we get a smaller tractor to maneuver around the tighter spaces in our yard. My question is as it relates to getting in and out of tight spots if a sub-compact makes a ton of...

    Small Goat Barn Question

    Folks, I've read many of the threads on building a goat house and I still have a question. Many of the you tube videos I've watched have just a dirt floor under a pole barn for goats. Is there any advantage of having concrete or some other raised floor? I am concerned that urine will build...

    Weak Arc on Lincoln 225 ac

    Folks, I am new to welding and on my first attempt it just didn't happen. I would describe it as a weak arc, just didn't seem like there was any energy getting to the electrode. It would spark a bit and stick, but would not hold an arc and what little welding did happen was superficial at...

    Post Hole Auger 2020

    Guys, I've read many of the threads on PHDs, most are pretty old so I wanted to start a 2020 thread on PHD. I am presently looking at Tractor Supply and Agri supply. They are close in price, the Tractor Supply one is rated at 18-100 hp and the Agri is 25-65. This makes me think the TSC one...

    Hydraulic Fluid Leak

    Folks, I have determined that my leak is in fact associated with this hard pipe coming into the block (see picture). Can you give me an idea of how difficult a repair this is going to be for me to do myself? Do I need to order the exact replacement part or is this a standard o-ring? Thanks in...
