    ...but if he died, all bets are off... I would love for the one and done posters to be no more... but you never know why.

    Changed fluids, filters

    I had a little experience like this, buying a backhoe from an old farmer... he mentioned he was having problems with a tractor, not moving... I don't remember exactly but he had (or some kids) moved one of the levers into neutral. I think it was High/Low - I asked about it and he said, that...

    My last thoughts on this, I rarely use my side link (using the manual one stinks but it would work for what I need). I built my road down to my creek without it! Since you have forks, you will most likely not have to use a grapple. A toplink and a single spool is all you need with your box...

    Top and Tilt l2501 DIY

    For the main hoses, Power In and Power Beyond out, get them the same size as the rest of your tractor which I believe is 3/8". For running hoses to TnT - I used 3/8" but then had to quickly get an adjustable Needle Valve (one that worked in both directions) to slow down the speed. I bought the...

    I'm actually going to take my quick connects out (one of the hoses rubbed and I'm afraid of it blowing out completely). So I'm removing my quick connects. So the only time I did remove the TopLink was when I use my Post Hole digger... I rarely use that these days... So, it's cheaper to buy a...

    Alberta (dwarf) Spruce brown spot cure?

    How good is your eye sight? If it's spider mites, you should be able to see fine webbing (like spider webs). Normally, if you do have spider mites, you'll have a dead area, like you have, but also active colony around that area... it doesn't look like that with your photo... more close up...

    Kubota subframe kit wanted

    Not those, the last link (which have been deleted) on the original post (which is also deleted). Something to the effect of AARP and some other crap... AI will respond to the question but add a link that could upload malware to your computer without you knowing... if you click on the link.

    Hello from new member Schips.

    I don't have one, my understanding is that you don't want to let them idle at low RPM. Run them hot with more PRM's (My tractor would be dead since I constantly let it run at 1000 rpm's...)

    Natural gas?

    Camp property found, now updates.

    Every listing over a few weeks old, were just crappy land when we were looking. Good land is bought pretty quick. We had a friend that's always looking at land to buy - he called us up and said, we needed to see this land that just went on the market, if we didn't buy it, he was going to...
