It appears we are soon going to have tariffs of 20% and more on anything imported from anywhere. What does this mean for us here at TBN? Unless tractors, accessories, attachments and parts get an exemption ("necessary services" or something), prices of imported tractors are going to go up by...

No, I didn't play submarine with my Kubota unlike my neighbor (whose tractor refuses to die despite it). Since I am not able to hold a full five gallon container of diesel at arm's length in order to fuel my (no longer overheating) B2601, I've been using a hand operated pump with a short 12"...

2018 B2601, 265 hours. Runs progressively warmer, at about 45 minutes, the progressively rising temp gauge makes me distinctly nervous, so I take a break for ten minutes and let it cool off, then repeat. Seems to heat up when loaded (tall grass), then cool down a little, but not all the way...

I have a neighbor who has an MX4700. He evidently believes that NDT is strictly for wimps. He BREAKS stuff, big time. This time, he has absolutely outdone himself. Disclaimer - he's a good neighbor and a friend, and I'm not mad at him - just a little in awe this time. He thinks I'm too much of...

Copy of Family Handyman arrived today, it has an article which touches on a BX2380. Author says he was having trouble filling the bucket on the FEL, and needed a bit more horsepower. He said when he pressed down hard on the "forward" pedal, it "essentially shifted into a higher gear range" which...

Next door neighbor has an MX4700DT which he uses hard. (He also hasn't read the sig line here about taking time to maintain your equipment or your equipment will make time for you to maintain it.) Anyway, I stopped in today and he has the front of the tractor off the ground (using the front...

Got a belly mower on my Kubota 2601. I have 160 hours or so on the tractor, maybe 60 or 70 (tops) of them mowing with the belly mower. (The tractor gets used for other things, too.) The mower cuts grass poorly, leaves streaks, cuts unevenly, leaves stubble of various lengths, just does an ugly...

Federal Trade Commission voted 5-0 for right to repair regulations. Covers tractors, cars, electronics, more. We just won a big one! https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements/1592330/p194400repairrestrictionspolicystatement.pdf Best Regards, Mike/Florida

Got an RCK54 belly mower on my B2601. I think it is getting to be time for blades since the "cut" has become somewhat raggedy and sometimes it pushes the grass down instead of cutting it. I've run the mower about 100 hours. I'm looking at Google, and I find blades from $12 each up to $20+ each...

Have about 60 acres of pretty much flat, somewhat sandy land. We're starting to get Cogon Grass. It is on some adjacent lots (not mine), on an easement, and on a railroad right of way. The RR couldn't care less about it, but they get right cranky when someone trespasses (as well they should - it...

Well at the tender age of 72, I suddenly discovered I needed a tractor. Seems the 70 acres or so I've got are just not willing to mow or clear themselves (dang ingrates), so I have to do it. Spoke to a number of dealers, the Mahindra dealer was too far away if I needed anything, JD was a tad on...
