    I have a small hobby farm and own a Kubota L3901 that generally meets my needs. However, I just bought more acreage. The land deal included a 4 row seeder. There is an 8 acre field for which I would like to plant corn in the near-term. There is an additional 44 acres leased to a neighbor for...

    What size tractor can we get by with?

    We have a small hobby farm raising a handful of beef cattle. When we bought the property 7 years ago we started with a Kubota BX series. We made do for a couple of years but we were frequently limited in what we could do, and all too often had to be creative to get a job done. We moved up to...

    Can I temporarily run without a hydrostatic safety switch?

    Hi all, I made some headway this afternoon. I found that I had also blown an EC fuse. The tractor is now moving! One item of note is the parking brake indicator is permanently lit. I tried engaging and disengaging the breaks and parking lever, but that did nothing. Do you think when the...

    Can I temporarily run without a hydrostatic safety switch?

    I ordered the part but it won't be her for a week. I twisted the ends of the wires together thinking it would temporarily allow me to run but it still won't start. I am sitting in the seat when I'm trying. Is it possible that switch has more brains than just completing the connection? Or...

    Can I temporarily run without a hydrostatic safety switch?

    Hi all, I have a 2019 Kubota L3901. I was doing some tree and brush work yesterday and ran over a small limb which tipped up and caught the wiring for my hydrostatic neutral safety switch. It ripped the wires out of the end of the switch so I have no way of splicing it back together and there...

    What size trailer hitch ball on a 16-18' deck trailer?

    Good morning, Heading to an auction today. They have a 16' dovetail deck trailer on the list. I don't know if they are including the dovetail in that length measurement, it would be more common to have an 18' trailer with a 2' dovetail given my research. Would the ball for a trailer usually...

    Auger extension

    Hey all, I am sinking fence corner and other posts 5' and my auger only goes down 3 feet. After hand digging the last 2 feet for 5 holes over 2 days, I figured there had to be a better way. I have a County Line/SpeeCo auger with a 2" round drive shaft. I searched for weeks for an extension...

    Where to buy 12.5g 4 pt barbed wire?

    Hi all, I am looking to purchase nearly 10k feet of 12.5 gauge, 4 point barbed wire. Both my in-laws and neighbor advised that I stay away from Red Brand. That's the only brand I can find locally. Does anyone have a preferred brand or site that I can try to look up? Thanks!

    Pasture grasses not germinating?

    Hi all, We bought land a few years ago that was historically corn and soybeans. We started a pasture last fall by discing the field several times and then planting winter rye. It grew nicely last fall and has come up well this spring. A month ago we bought a pasture grass mix from our local...
