I'm sure these types of questions are asked on here often. (I did do a little searching before posting.) I have a Kubota L5740 with the LA854 loader and a Bush Hog BH26 cutter. My current trailer is too short for this combination. The current trailer is a 20' long Big Tex. So, I'm looking...

I have my grandfathers '50 model 8N. Many years ago, Pop converted the tractor to a 12V system. I inherited the tractor, had it restored, and have been using it for gardening and other light chores. Yesterday, I went to start the tractor to hook up the potato plow. When I turned the key...

I've been looking for a medium duty 6' brush cutter. The question has to do with the Bush Hog 296 versus the BH 26. I can get either new, with the older 296 costing about $200 more. Is it worth it, or are they so nearly equal that I should save the money? Thanks guys.

When I bought my L5740, I had the dealer add two rear remote valves. I recently installed a Top Link cylinder. I'm wondering if I have the wrong type valve for this. This morning I was using a rotary cutter. When I would try to raise the cutter, the lower links would lift the front of the...

I feel like a newbie. I've pulled trailers most of my life, from 6 x 10 Utility Trailers to 20' equipment trailers to a 33' Travel Trailer. However, they've all been bumper pull. Last year, I bought a Kubota L5740, w/ FEL, and a 7' RC. The overall length of the tractor/RC is about 26' long...

Guys, I know this subject has been discussed many times. I've searched and gone through several of the posts, but could not find one that addressed this directly. If there is one, I apologize. I have about 25 acres that I cut about three times per year. I've just completed the first full...

I am trying to finish up the restoration of my grandfathers '50 model 8N and have a couple of questions. I've been pricing the cost of parts from various on-line sources and comparing those prices to the cost of buying a parts tractor (hard to find) or a used tractor that is running. I need...

Guys, I feel kinda stupid asking this. I'm trying to service the transmission on my tractor. However, even with the manual set, I'm having trouble finding the strainer. Can someone give me a hint? I've looked underneath, on both sides and under the seat. I've got to be looking right at it...

Here are a couple of pictures of the EX3200. I tried to send them in a pm, but didn't have time to figure it out. One picture is when we were unloading stuff as we moved to the place in the country. The other picture is when moving a mowing machine we had found in the woods after moving...

My new play purty. Supposed to have come with R4's. Dealer sending a man to swap'em. It was 96F when it got here and, of course, I had to try it out. After 2 trips around the field, had to cut the air down. Sweet.

Have any of you guys with the EX3200's mounted dual rear remotes on your tractor? I saw, and downloaded from another thread, the Rear Remote Valve Kit Assembly Instructions. Looking at the instructions, it appears that the kit uses only hoses, no formed steel lines. Could a second valve be...

I made the same mistake others have made in that I bought a machine last year that was too small. I talked on another looking at an MX5100, but I had been spoiled by the nicities of the L3240. The MX is undoubtedly a strong tractor, but it just didn't seem to fit. Then, Marxman had to go and...

A couple of questions for those that have gone from a Lxx40 to a MX. I'm wanting/needing to go to a larger brushcutter. How much do you miss the features of the Grand when going to a MX5100 HST? Also, if you use the rule of 5hp/ft., why do folks seem to run 6' and 7' cutters behind the MX...

We bought a 40 acre farm over a year ago. One of the biggest projects was to clean off the fence rows and around the 5 acre lake. With that, we now have 4 large brush piles and 4 smaller piles. Most of the trees are pines, 4" and smaller. We're also buying mulch by the pallet. The thought...

Made the decision earlier this year to try to find a new mower. I mow about 3 acres of uneven country yard. Thought it would be no big deal to find what I wanted, with a budget of $5k. This decision is harder than buying a tractor. Too many choices. When I start leaning toward one, a search...

I went to a local New/USed Equipment dealer yesterday to look about a breaking plow. He doesn't have a plow like I want, but he does have a King Kutter II 5' tiller for $1400 and a King Kutter 6' Landscape Rake for $300. These seemed like fairly good prices. Am I right? He had an old Ford...

I hope you guys won't mind another post about filling the rear tires. After reading all the other posts, I decided to fill the tires on my EX3200, deciding to use WW fluid. I bought the fluid and Slime adapter kit at TSC. I tried to do the project last weekend, but could not get the adapter...

I have a question about tractor canopies. I was about to try to fabricate one for my CCY EX3200. I've looked at various posts, as well as the pictures shown on various canopy manufacturer's websites. With this info, I started sketching when I ran across something that triggered a question...

The family and I just lucked into a new place. We weren't really looking to buy, but stumbled onto a 40+ acre farm. About 25 acres are in pasture, about 1 acre is yard, about 10 acres are wooded, and, maybe best of all, 4+ acres are in a well stocked pond. Deer and turkey are everywhere. In...

I've recently bought a small farm that needs some TLC. One of the areas needing attention is the fenceline. It is grown up in samplings and brush. There are also posts that need adding and replacing. I've looked at Stihl and Husqvarna brushcutters and Land Pride and Bush Hog PHD's. What are...

Just ball park, what can I expect to pay for Rim Guard? I'm going to need about 75 gallons.

I kinda feel like this is a dumb question and has probably been covered before, but I have a question about rocks, tillers, and food plots. The area we hunt is known for its rocks. (The name of the nearest town is Rockford.) The rocks range from bowling ball size and smaller. Will a tiller...

I'm in the process of rebuilding my grandfathers old Rotary Cutter. When I picked it up, there was no provision for protecting the tractor. You guys educated me to the need of either shear pins or a Slip Clutch. I picked up a clutch at Tractor Supply. There was no information with it. I...

Has anyone bought or made front weights for an EX2900 or 3200?

Hey guys. I really look forward to time on line on this site. Finally joined. I live in East Central Alabama. I'm married with two daughters. My oldest daughter graduates from UAB tomorrow as a RN. My youngest daughter is entering her senior year of high school. My wife woks in the local...

Bit the bullet today. Did the 0% 60 month on an EX3200. Pick it up tomorrow. Already have the Big Bee (Rotary Cutter) in the shop going through it. Time to start mowing the food plots already. Gonna look neat parked by the 8N. I cannot get over how much tractor you can buy for the money...

It looks like I'm about to pull the trigger on a new CUT, most likely a Cub/Yanmar EX3200. I can get a new one, with a FEL for $14,800. I have a 8N, 60" Big Bee Brush Cutter, cultivator, and scrapper. I have a few questions: 1.) With the 8N, I ran a slip clutch with the Big Bee. Is this...

New to the forum; first post and I need some feedback. I have my grandfathers old 8N with several of its implements. I've been looking at CUT's in the 30HP range, to be used mostly for clearing, planting and maintaining food plots. The two I've narrowed it down to are the EX3200 and the...
