    Tree cutting accident

    Well, I wasn't cutting a tree but narrowly escaped getting a huge headache from a falling street light pole. The pole was at the end of a fairly steep slope and as I started down the slope I apparently bumped the range lever, on my Kubota B3200, into neutral and zoooommed down the slope I went...

    Overheating B3200

    I have a B3200 (2010) with 1075 hours. This is my fifth Kubota. All have susceptible to overheating. This tractor is no different. However, it is worse. I've replaced the rad. cap and the thermostat with Kubota part numbers. I am questioning the pressure cap. I've lost the original so I...
