I removed the lift links between the lift arms & the 3 point hitch & used chain. Here is the page from the manual.

I don't remember Orange Grove as being very hilly. Is there a need for the rops?

I have one & it works good for me. It is much more accurate reading short wind gusts.

The roller is not needed with the wheels. It is much more manuverable using the wheels & turns easier. Rotate the shaft, the zerk is accessable through hole in the panel. Same thing to access the zerk on the shaft from the gear box to the drive pulley. I will attach a parts manual that might...

13kw generator seems like massive over kill. Get a 5kw & a small propane generator, 2000 watts maybe. Use the larger generator when needed for well pump etc. Use the small generator as necessary to keep the refrigerator and or freezer cold. Install a wood stove for winter heat. Get a good supply...

I had a similar problem with a Kubota B2710. It was caused by cavitation in the hydraulic system. Kubota had a fix that consisted of a kit to relocate the return line from the power steering. Fixed it!

I think he is going to be doing that for a long time.

I've only been to Big Springs a couple of times, but I kind of liked it. I moved to Texas in 1973 from Michigan. I haven't regreted it for a second. Ended up in Ft. Davis & I plan on being here until the end.

This is what I did on my B2620 using existing holes.
