How do I know which publication will cover updates in an owners manual for my year of manufacture ( 1997 ). I am aware parts are ordered by serial number in many instances. I want to make sure I am getting the updated information. Thanks

Currently looking to purchase a mower for attachment to a 955. Actually found four within a hundred miles. Some are without attaching hardware, others stored outside in the rain and snow. I did find a 72" from a 4700 that is in very good condition, stored inside, used only several years. I...

Having purchased a like new 955 with a loader I would like to add a 72" mid mount mower. Are there specific models that fit this series ? My 4110 needed a specific model for clearance of the gearbox when raised. Is it a generic mower with perhaps several mount choices ? Would like to locate...

Just acquired a 955 Deere with a 70A loader. It has the old style bolt on mount. As I prefer the quick change system I have on another tractor.... I was wondering if anyone modified or bought components to change.

No mention of the 55 in current sales promotions. Is it still available ? I know through out the years they drop accesories ( like the draft control ) to keep the price in line with other manufacturers. Did they remove the engine option ( turbo ) due to price or repair problems ? I believe...

Well I certainly have lost confidence in Mike and certainly will never read another printed word he writes. I am glad I searched other forums before sending a check. AND he says other people are trying to get the best of him ???? He is not accepting private messages. Maybe, just maybe...

Craigslist had a local person with a 53" Kubota two stage snowblower that was converted to 400 JD series specs. for $225.00 It looked like it was only used a couple years as 95% of the paintwas still on it. I called within the first two hours of posting and wouldn't you know someone 150 miles...

Anyone have dump trailer plans for a 10-12 foot model ? I have been collecting parts for a build. I have ten pieces of ten foot five inch channel ( nice hd pieces ) and two Dexter 8k brake axels with springs and eight bolt hubs. A local custom metal shop will bend up 12' 1/8" sheet metal (...

I would feel better spending the kings ransom on a machine that had a front pto drive system that could be used with a lawn mower. Can you imagine cutting the grass in air conditioned comfort surrounded by surround sound and a cup holder ? I just can't convince myself its worth 20k to drive...

I have been contemplating the purchase of a 6' pto three point mower to be used with my 4110. I'm wondering if the pto with the electric control will work properly as it snaps on so fast there is alot of blades to get in motion. Don't need a thousand dollar parts bill if the system will not...

6+ acres of lawn. Takes too long and need something to cut the time down a little. Anyone recommend a larger brand that isn't in the six figure catagory. Would prefer to stick to a PTO / three point version.

I have an acre pond 12' deep that I would like to aereate. The pond is 800 feet plus from my shop and there is no electricity there. My plan is to bury a 1" black plastic pipe ( I have alot of it on hand ) to the shop and use an oil less compressor to supply the oxygen. I would like to find a...

Is it a case of who did they copy, who builds it and they put their name on it , or they actually did some homework and saw a need for this segment of the industry ? The new 1100 Kubota lists for 17+k. Thats alot of money for a pipe frame, diesel engine, cab, and a utility box. Dealer...

Found this at a garage sale. Owner had a kubota and apparently had second thoughts of making the mounting hardware to fit his tractor. Made some simple brackets from the free steel rack and it fit just fine. Now I can sell the floppy hat... I hate wearing them in the sun anyway.

270 TL Loader steel line that supplies oil to the left lift cylinder was damaged. Wanting to keep the loader like new without any visible blemishes I check with a local dealer for a replacement. I was quoted over $ 550.00 for a single tube 1/2" line. They checked the price twice and this is...
