BX62S chipper and extra set of blades. Lightly used. $4,000.00 Original Owner. Gainesville, Al. (1/2 way between Tuscaloosa and Meridian, Ms.). Please PM me if interested. Thanks

Thanks, to all, for the advice. I'll find a place to get it weighed before trying something as heavy as the Mini Excavator I was considering.

I may just go with a smaller mini ex. Thanks.

Thanks, to all, for the replies. I'll get it by a set of scales, just to be sure.

Good idea. Thanks!

That is the issue, I can't find anything on payload rating on it. I inherited the trailer and don't think the company is in business anymore. Will likely resort to finding a place to weigh the whole rig then weigh just my truck and do simple math.

I have a Tye-Bro Metals equipment trailer with a label which says: GVWR 12,000 lbs GAWR 6,000 lbs I understand that the above lists "Gross Vehicle Weight Rating" - Meaning how much it can handle, including its own weight. I also understand that "Gross Axle Weight Rating" refers to what each...

As I stated in the post immediately above your question: "Fuel injector issue. Dealer knew exactly what it was. Covered it under warranty." Also posted earlier was that they changed the fuel injectors. I hope you get yours repaired under warranty as well.

Great to know, thanks!

Thanks, to all. I have the Gen 2 and I have the ethernet adapter. Glad to know I've got options.

Can you run both the Starlink router and a router of your own or does the Starlink router have to be in bypass mode if you want to have another router?

I've got a "spare" but it takes 2x as long with just me cutting than it does when my wife can help. I'm also left with that feeling after replacing a blown trailer tire: "Wow, so glad I was prepared...wait, the other 3 are just as old as that one and I don't have another spare".

I hauled it myself. Kind of hard to use without A/C in the Alabama heat.

Those of you that have had to take your tractors in for repairs, are you satisfied with the repair times? I have two Kubotas. The L5740 is older and, therefore, been in the shop more. I had one repair that took over 8 weeks. That one was the ECT module. Currently, my L5740 has been in the...

That could certainly explain why it is missing. Thanks!

And, there it is! I'll admit I spent about 30 minutes last night, searching to no avail. Finally thought "I'll post on TractorByNet and should get an answer in a day or two". Nope, within minutes! THANKS, ptsg!!!

Yesterday I noticed a missing plug on my Kubota L5740. No idea how I lost it. It is the rubber plug that goes in the place where you fill the hydraulic fluid, called the "Oil Inlet". I've searched and cannot find a part name or number. Anybody know what it is actually called or a part...

We have those things. Hate is not a strong enough word for how we feel about them. I've gotten pretty good at spotting them, even from a distance. However, it seems I find another couple every year.

Thanks. I have similar but the area is too tight for it with all the hoses, etc. from the loader. Just a very tight area. I'll look at the above recommendations and something will work out. Thanks, to all that have given suggestions. I love this place.

2018 M7060 - In replacing the fuel filter and cleaning the water separator, I noticed things are "tight". Not a lot of room to move around. I was able to get the (spin on) fuel filter changed by using a standard "Band" filter wrench. I was unable to get the water separator unscrewed...

Well, mine was getting up near 50% as I left town yesterday. I had watched it and it built up and didn't go down last week when driving down to or back from the farm (About an hour 5 each way). Shortly after getting on the highway and getting up to speed I heard a chime and a message said...

The 2008 year was the reason I switched to a gasoline truck. I didn't know about the DPF's being added. I ordered a nice Ram in the late summer of 2007. A little later I got a call "They quit making 2007s. Your only choice is to accept a 2008". I don't remember anything about any changes on...

I drive to and from my farm once/week. That is a 65-70 minute drive, mostly interstate at 75 mph, each way. The screen said the DPF was about 30% when I left the farm the other day. When I got home, it was in the same position. I expected it to go down but didn't. I'm beginning to not trust...

Thanks. I am aware. I watch it like a hawk. It has gone as high as about 40 something %. It sometimes goes to 0 when driving on the highway but sometimes doesn't. One piece of advice I received was "Just drive it. Don't even look at that screen. Including it is the worst thing they ever...

Mine is the Cummins Diesel. I had a rough start. I think mine was formerly used by a HotShot driver that spent a lot of time idling while he slept at a rest stop. I came to that conclusion after talking with the service guy when I had the DPF replaced. We looked at the engine hours and the...

I bought a 2022 Ram 2500 this past Summer. None of the plugs were in the bed. I ordered a set from Amazon. Fit great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R8R1SL7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a Bush Hog 3126-O mower. I love it as it cuts directly behind the tractor and about 3' to the right side. It is wonderful for cutting around the lake, on treelines, etc. It came with my property. I believe it was purchased, new, in 1993. Unfortunately, the folks before me didn't keep...

Kubota M7060 with a cab. Today I noticed my 3rd function button wouldn't light up. Also wouldn't work. I figured it to be a fuse. Searching, I can't find any fuse blown. I looked at every one in the fuse box under the steering wheel. In checking other electrical things, I discovered the...

New is too much for me, Jeff. If you ever decide to sell yours, shoot me a PM.

I have addressed the leak-down issue two ways. Check Valve - lose the ability to put the cylinder in float. Easy to make on the fly adjustments without worry about leaking down. This is on a 10' offset cutter. It is way heavy on the right side. Without the check valve I'd have to adjust the...

The 6.5' Landscaping version I was considering (with hydraulic scarfiers) was on special. Even with the special pricing it was going to cost almost $7,200 (including tax). That's a bit hard to justify for my needs.

I've been eyballing the TR3 rakes for a long time. My interest is in repairing hog damage and road maintenance. I've asked about them before (Jeff posted some good info) but wondered if any new experiences were out there. They are expensive! Just wondering how many have them and believe they...

Nope, no other electrical/electronic devices near either node. My house is also simple stick built with drywall. I may return the Starlink and go with another mesh. Or, just may decide it is not worth the effort. Thanks, to all, for the help.

Thanks for all the help. You have me on the right track. Regardless of the solution, I still think the Starlink router connection to the Starlink mesh should have more range. What it does have is...pitiful.

We like to sit on a small deck in the edge of the woods, probably about 55 yards from where I've got the mesh router. The SL router is another 36 or so feet beyond that but thru a couple of walls. We got OK signal strength while sitting on the deck. I figured putting a mesh between us would...

Understood. However, I expected a bit more range. The Starlink is installed in a small cabin with a loft. I added a garage to the cabin. The Starlink router is upstairs on the South End of the building. I put the mesh on the North end of the 1st floor. Besides the vertical, I expect they...

I purchased a Starlink Mesh Router and, though it works, am a bit dissatisfied with it. My primary Starlink router is in an upstairs room and I placed the Mesh Router in a downstairs room on the other end of the (small) cabin. My mesh router says its signal is 40%. I expected much more as I...

Thanks for that. I quickly found out that I need to build the skid shoes back up before running hardfacing on them. When I tried to lay a bead down, it burned right thru. I thought "That is 1/4" metal, why did it burn thru". The worn part ain't 1/4" no more. If it was, I'd not need to do...

The skid shoes for my rotary cutter are $50 each. The ones for my LPGS are $80 each. I need two on each implement. I understand those that say improper adjustment on the rotary cutter leads to wear but the LPGS is DESIGNED to drag on the ground. Anyway, I bought 10 lbs of hardfacing rod for...

My bushhogs and LPGS have skid shoes that are replaceable. I've had to replace all of them once and am about to put a new set on my 6' cutter. As expected, replacements are expensive. A 1/4" piece of steel, 2" wide and 19 5/8" long with one bend for $50. The "worn out" ones are only worn at...

I had (have) a similar problem Bryan solved it with a valve. When I want to adjust the lift arm or run it in float, I open the valve. When I want it to stay at a particular length, I close the valve. In my opinion, this is the best/easiest/most economical solution.

Yes. I explained it in the above posts. Fuel injector issue. Dealer knew exactly what it was. Covered it under warranty.

Mine had that fuel injector issue last year. It was covered under warranty. Good luck!

That there is some great advice! Yes, I know I need more practice. No, I need a LOT more practice. I'm just starting out and was excited to have a real project instead of just welding scrap metal. I'll never reach professional level. I just want to be able to fix things and/or make some...

It will be turned into "Garden Art" for the wife. What it all came down to was the realization that if I did successfully weld it up, it likely wouldn't last long. I was lucky I was discing a small field and saw it before running over it. Even worse, if I didn't notice it was gone, I could...

A new disc was $32. But, it was fun learning! Thanks, to all.

And, let's not forget that I've gotten a whole bunch of practice at unsticking a welding rod. That is why they call it "Stick" welding, right?

So, "Buy another disc blade and forget fixing this one" is what you're saying? If so, that is why I ask in this forum. Lots of knowledge here. I'd have never guessed. Thanks!

I broke a disc off Saturday. Replacements are about $20, if I remember correctly. However, I want to fix things when I can. I'm trying to learn welding so I welded it up and thought all was good. Then I noticed I had missed welding on the crack in a few spots. Damn. Welded more, making...

I always planned to get a tractor that included a backhoe attachment. Did a ton of research and settled on a Kubota L5740 with the subframe mounted backhoe. Putting it on requires removing the 3-pt. hitch. Not a difficult job, gets easier the more you do it. As I live in hot/humid Alabama, I...

Thanks, Jaxs and all. At least that part of the mystery is solved.

Oh, and thanks, to all, for the recommendations. Based on the service manual recommendations, it appears that the system is low on refrigerant. Putting more in is a small issue compared to WHY did it leak out and where is the leak?

Here are the photos I should have taken yesterday. I suspect it is a relay for the pump for the windshield washer.

The AC on our Kubota L5740 is not cooling. In trying to diagnose, I discovered something that is not plugged in. The inside appears to have "points" like I remember from my old motorcycle days. It plugs into the back of the reservoir for the windshield washer fluid. The plug in location...

If you didn't go with the water filling option, I highly recommend it. I forget the exact name but they install a system whereby you can EASILY fill 1/2 the batteries at a time. I put the hose into a gallon of distilled water, connect it up, squeeze the bulb until it becomes firm (like the...

I cut a bunch of thick grass this weekend. Tractor is working normally. Thanks, again, to all for the advice. Thankful, also, that my dealer has a good service dept.

I ran the tractor for a couple of hours yesterday. Used the PTO in economy mode. Ran normally and didn't bog down. I believe it is back to normal. Thanks, to all, for the advice.

They replaced the injectors.

Got the tractor back today. Cut the grass with the PTO at the economy mode and had no issues. Not much strain with that grass, though. Didn't get to take it to the field as a storm rolled in and the fields are wet. Tractor ran normally. Time will tell. Thanks, to all, for the assistance.

It is in the shop and they warned me that it may take a week or two. Thanks, again, for all the advice.

Great info, 5030. Thanks!

Really appreciate this, 5030. I think that is going to be my plan. Thanks!

Open station owners should laugh at me. After all, everytime a stinging insect buzzes around the glass of my cab, I chuckle a bit and remember my "open station days". Thanks, OxKoti, for a great suggestion that just may save me from removing the roof.

There is a hook to hold the TL when not hooked up. I hook my hydraulic TL on it, extend the arm, unhook and place on top of the implement pin then gently use hydraulics to retract it to the proper length. Never had an issue bigger than having to adjust a couple to times to get it right and...

Got such great advice on the M7060 issue that I thought I'd ask the following: Anybody ever had their air conditioner drains clogged? How did you unclog them? I noticed a small amount of water come out of one of the air conditioning vents (they are in the ceiling of the cab) and my wife...

Thanks to all for the information. I've spoken with my dealer and they are on top of it. They mentioned most of what you guys said but are leaning toward a fuel injector issue. I'll have it brought in. I'm lucky to have a dealership with a great Service Manager. Thanks, again, to all.

If this works, I owe you a steak dinner! I doubt my luck could be that good but it is certainly worth a try. Certainly makes sense as I've filled the fuel tank after each cutting.

Thanks. I sent you a pm asking that you give me the details over email. I appreciate all the help.

Well, NOW I do realize that. Should have been obvious. Thanks.

Additional. The engine runs fine and doesn't seem "starved" for fuel, except when I put a load on it. In other words, when the issue happens, simply disengaging the PTO and it the engine doesn't bog down. Then, pulling on one of the hydraulic remotes bogs it down. Strange but, thanks...

I ran the mower on the 5740 for about 3.5 hours, no issues. All good replies and much appreciated.

Good idea. I thought about that but didn't have a spare. I'll get one tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendation. If the fuel filter is causing the issue, how/why would it operate normally for the first 90 minutes? Also, what would that have to do with the hydraulics bogging the engine down?

I'm experiencing a bit of an M7060 (2018 model) Issue when bush hogging. I Set PTO speed to 540. Once I begin cutting it will usually drop to about 525-530. Fluctuates mildly while cutting, depending on up or down hill, etc. Will run well for about 1.5 - 1.75 hours. Then it will begin to...

Since you plan to be adjusting very often, you may not have enough leak down for it to affect your operation. The ball valves will require being turned on and off manually. The check valve will not require manual attention but won't allow float. Fit Right told me about an electrically...

BeezFun has the right idea. I purchased something similar from Fitright Hydraulics. I have a check valve on one tractor and the ball valve on the other. The ball valve is less expensive and only downside is that you have to open it to make adjustments. Since the offset cutter sometimes...

You could use a big, clean tote to capture the oil. Drain it all out, change the filters then put the oil back in.

Fitright has ALWAYS been there for me with information, advice and service. I think his prices are not only fair but also competitive. If his price was a little higher, I'd gladly pay a bit more for the peace of mind. Fitright, purchase with confidence.

I went by the dealer today to get some filters. Showed them the photo. The service manager said it was normal. Many others were surprised. The parts guy pulled up a diagram. Yep, it is on the diagram. I should feel better that many others never noticed it. Nah, I feel foolish! Thanks, to...

Well, I'll lay claim to always looking down at my work and I guess I never hit my head on it cause we don't get in on that side. Yeah, I feel silly. Thanks, to all. I'd delete the whole post except leaving it may spare someone else from having to ask!

We have noticed a smell that resembels stale water in our cabbed L5740. My wife mostly uses this tractor. I figured I'd replace the cab air filter. Today I noticed a "tumor" in the headliner. I don't recall seeing this bump before. I'll be really embarrassed if someone tells me it is...

Mine had that split pin leak about 1 yr. ago. I had it taken to the local dealer. It was just over $2,500 for the repair. Good luck.

I thought I remembered someone posting about a TR3, don't know why my searches didn't turn you up, Jeff. I have a box blade and I also have hydraulic Top & Tilt. I've spent a few hours trying the box blade as well as my LPGS. Neither works very well.

I thought I remembered posts about repairing hog damage and I also think I remember posts about the TR3 rake. Searching TR3 gave me nothing so, apologies if this is a re-hash. Does anyone here have experience with the TR3 rake, made by ABI attachments? If so, do you think it would do a decent...

Factory replacement is $64.96. Thanks for the recommendations.

I know I'm not the first to have to replace one (or more) of my mirrors. I broke the left side mirror on my L5740 HST Cabbed tractor this weekend. Before going to the dealer, I thought I'd ask the collective here: Anybody found a better value replacement mirror than the Kubota original? Thanks.

I have a 12' batwing and find it doesn't need much more maintenance than my 10' offset mower. Attention must be paid, however, to turns. Can't turn as sharply with a pull-behind as with a semi-mount. One recommendation, I had mine plumbed so that it required three remotes. One controls the...

Yesterday I cranked my Kubota L5740 and within about 15 yards, it died. I tried to crank it a couple of times and it wouldn't catch. When I got out I saw diesel spilling profusely on the ground. I opened the hood and saw diesel was spewing out the back of the manifold that holds the fuel...

Is there any affordable attachment that would make it easy to approach logs, grab them and then drag them to another location? We had our place logged for pine and there are now a bunch of cedar trees (the loggers cut to get to the pines) that I'd like to harvest and save for future projects...

A note on something I've recently learned: Checking the level of hydraulic fluid in my Kubota L5740 has always been a chore. I struggle to see how much is on the dipstick. I shine a light and check 3 or 50 times. Today I checked it and could easily see the level. The difference? I didn't...

I was practicing yesterday and spent a little time with flux core, no gas. I was using a Lincoln MP210. In the setup, you tell it what you are welding and it selects the settings. You have the ability to adjust the wire feed speed and the volts different than recommended. I made a weld on...

Having a lot of fun learning the new plasma cutter. Wish I had a steady hand. My manual says any guide must be "non-conducting". Well, duh, that makes sense. Do any of you have a recommendation for a straight edge or other types of guides. What materials should they be made out of? I've...

I have the impression that many cast shade on welding with flux core wire with no gas. Perhaps it is just me but that process seems to get no love. I've enjoyed welding with flux core wire and find that cleaning the weld with a wire brush on an angle grinder can result in a pretty good looking...

I have a #10 auto darkening lens (forget the model but was recommended in threads on this forum) that I use in my hood (white in color, possbily called a Pipeliner?) It is not a variable so is always a #10. I've never had any eye discomfort after welding with this lens. Yesterday my right eye...

In learning to weld, I've acquired a bit of scrap metal to practice on. Tip: Ask to pick thru the scrap pile at a local fabricator. After all, you'll be bringing it back heavier than when you took it. If they are hesitant, offer to pay twice the scrap rate (about .08/lb here). LOTS cheaper...

This may sound like a stupid question but how do you know when your shocks are bad? My 2013 800 Ranger Crew frequently sounds like it bottoms out when one of the front tires crosses a depression. Sounds like the tire hits but I can't see any evidence of that. I tried rocking the front up and...

Ran into an issue yesterday that I'm certain others have also encountered. Was repairing my bush hog and the angle of the sun meant it shined in thru the top of my head and hood and made it difficult to see. A quick fix was to put a towel over my head. Worked but was hot and inconvenient. I...

Figured out how to get a photo of the page on here. Can anyone advise the location of either of the photos on a Cabbed 2013 L5740? They are too close-up for me to figure out. Thanks. Edited to add: Sorry, I thought that would appear in the body instead of requiring you to click it.

My 2013 L5740 won't start. It is a cabbed model. I turn the key and get "Error-40". It won't even turn over. I looked this up in the shop manual and see it says: Input voltage to sensor from ECU is failed. Probable cause is Sensor input voltage drop below 2.6 V for 0.1 second or more...

My L5740 won't turn over. I'll start another thread on that later. My question pertains to having it loaded and taken to the tractor dealer. The Front End Loader is down on the ground (nothing attached). I can't raise it because I can't start the tractor. I know a roll-back wrecker can...

As a supplement to my thread about telling the parts guy the serial number of your tractor, I thought you may find the below interesting: M7060 Outer air Filter ~$24 L5740 Outer air Filter ~$72 These filters look very similar. From memory, the inner filter for the M7060 is ~$13. However...

Write down or put in your phone the serial number of your tractor. That way you can have the dealer look up EXACTLY what parts you need. Nothing more frustrating than picking up parts, say an air filter, only to get to the tractor and discover you have the wrong part. Lesson learned.

I ordered Top and Tilt from brian at Fit Right and am VERY pleased. Besides providing excellent products, he has been very patient with me and given great instructions/education. I've actually had a couple of conversations with him while standing by my tractor and then forwarding photos. His...

Was cutting on Sat. and very aware to watch the temp for indications of radiator screen needing cleaning. Tractor began to bog down in same type of grass that it had been cutting all day. Temp was fine. PTO RPM would drop down to 460 and lower. I'd stop and it would catch back up. I shut...

I've been thinking of getting a cultipacker. Primary uses would be: 1 - Breaking up dirt clods to ease later smoothing with a drag harrow or LPGS 2 - Rolling over seeds spread to create a food plot. I know that weight is a factor. Heavier ones seem to need 3-pt. hitch. Some lighter ones...

I'm loving my Top-n-tilt setup. Don't know how I got along without it. One issue I'm having is leak-down. In many instances, it is no big deal but one of my primary implements is a 10' offset bush hog. I've found it also occurs, to a lesser extent, with my 6' bush hog. I have mounted a...

I understand the difference between "Hard Wire" (MIG) and Gassless Flux Core (FCAW). I've been seeing references to "Dual Shield Flux Core" and it needs shielding gass. What is the difference between Dual Shield Flux Core and the others? I'm experimenting with FCAW because I mostly weld...

In reading the first thread regarding Transformer or inverter Flux Core machines, I was impressed with the comments on the Titanium 125 machine offered by Harbor Freight. I followed the reading up with YouTube searches. That got me more interested. I saw the machine was on sale for about...

Good advice, no doubt. I don't know how I would have/could have beveled the joint. Even if I was able to do so, I'd have had no way to hold the pieces properly aligned. There is no practical way to inspect the back side of the joint. Here is a photo of the joint after the 6011 but before the...

I have an old scrape blade that came with the farm. It has a couple of pins for angling and offsetting the blade. Each pin has a bushing that is welded onto the frame. One bushing was totally loose (I could remove it). The other would wiggle. Best measurement of the steel is 3/8". I...

I have a small generator (Honda EU 2000i). It says output is 120V 13.3A I have a couple of welders that will work on 120V. One is stick and one is multi process (Lincoln 210 MP). Is it likely that either of these will run off my generator. I suspect not but thought it best to ask. I need...

Picked up the Severe XTreme Duty 84" Hinged Back Box Blade yesterday. Appears to be the high quality expected of EA. Was wrapped with black plastic. I suspect this is why it was in much better shape than the last implement I ordered from EA. The new packaging was a wise, and welcome...

As an update, got shipment email today. Just over 7 weeks from order.

Don't count on it. I just got off the phone with them. They are very far behind. I ordered a Box Blade on Feb 27th. Was told "About 4 weeks" Order comments say "4-6 WK EST BUILD". Today I was told "You're getting pretty close to the top of the list". I asked if we are looking at another 2...

I'm installing Top and Tilt on my L5740. The instructions recommend moving the easily adjustable lift arm from the right side to the left, then installing the hydraulic cylinder as the right lift arm. Sounds great. The lift arms on the L5740 are held on by a pin that goes thru what appears to...

My L5740 has front hydraulic third function connections. For whatever reason, the ones the dealer installed are: HNV12NPT, Part 75568-66320 F, 75568-66220 M. For compatibility (my 4-1 bucket and grapple are both equipped with the same connectors), I had them put on the M7060 we got last...

Past advice on creating foodplots has been that I need a cultipacker. I'm looking for advice on particular models. For example, I can purchase one that flips over for transport from Northern Tool for $689.99. It is 6' and weighs 418 lbs. It would be towed by my ATV. Alternately, I can...

Northern Tool has the ST200iDV on sale for $258.99 Does anyone have experience with this or any other Klutch welders? Will they run 6010 or 6011? The manual says suggested electrodes are: E6013, E7014, E7018, Stainless Steel. I want to get another welder (or two). I'm not looking for...

I decided to try my Lincoln 210MP on 240 V tonight. I looked the manual over and didn't see anything saying how to switch from 120 to 240, other than use the correct power cord (it comes with two). I plugged it all up and flipped the power switch. The machine appeared to come on briefly, I...

Saw a show where they were cutting locks off storage units. They used a battery powered angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. This made me realize I shouldn't leave angle grinders and cut-off wheels where a burglar could easily access them. Same goes for bolt cutters. I've got an old steel...

Ran thru my first spool of flux core wire (faster than I expected) in my Lincoln 210 MP. Realized that there was a long tail of wire I had to waste. Didn't know if I could just pull it a little way in and then start the new spool or had to pull it all out and waste it. Not wanting to chance...

Asked in an earlier thread but didn't get an answer. Probably was buried in other info. Anyway, I've been told that the 6010 rod is one of the best for repairing farm implements that you don't have the time or opportunity to really clean up. My machine says it won't run 6010 but that it will...

The M7060 we just got has Economy PTO. To engage, you move a lever at the rear of the tractor. Doing so gives 540 rpm on the PTO at approx 1800 engine rpm (vs. the normal ~2200 engine rpm). I understand that this setting is designed for situations whereby the PTO is way over powered for the...

This is the one I plan to copy: It was mentioned that he chose not to have the 3rd hole as he thought it might interfere with his PTO cover. I suspect that, were one to need the lower hole, this could simply be moved down, leaving the top hole uncovered. I hope this works as well as I expect.

I've read a few posts that refer to a "relief valve" kicking in on a loader if you try to lift a load that is too heavy or travel rough terrain with a heavy load on the loader. Last summer I had to move a lot of heavy logs. I found a few drops of hydraulic fluid under the tractor the next day...

As a follow-up, I remembered to take photos of the old blades this weekend. Though I had noticed a deterioration of the cut provided, I still thought it cut pretty well. It wasn't finish mower quality but was good enough that I used it around the house instead of investing in a ZT mower. This...

Got the slip clutch back together and the cutter is working well. I thought I had the correct part numbers for the fiber discs. WRONG! So, I took the old ones in and compared. Our local Kubota dealer also deals Bush Hog eqpt. They have a guy in parts that goes out of his way to help. He...

I'm about to purchase a box blade. EA has a good video and I've researched the floating tailgate feature, don't think I need it. I have seen people post about "rollover box blades". I tried the search function and came up with lots of stuff that is not related. If anyone can post simple...

Started a new thread to carry this on. Old news: Slip clutch on Bush Hog I inherited probably has not been "slipped" in many, many years. I tried loosening the nuts a couple of turns, still wouldn't slip. I asked about what to do here and got a number of replies similar to: "Rev it up and...

In getting things organized, I purchased a LandPride 2512 cutter. It is a pull-behind. Hooks to the drawbar with a hitch pin. My thinking is that it will work well with our 70 HP tractor in thick grass and also work well with our 57 HP tractor to cut the grass around the house. I tried to...

I have a 1993 JD 2355 that, in my opinion, is in good shape. It came with the farm I purchased back in 2012. My Wife's tractor (Kubota L5740) has a cab. She ran over a few wasp nests last year and became concerned about what would have happened it it had been me, on the JD, that ran over...

You guys helped with my blade issue. Now, in reading the manual (yeah, I do that), it says to torque the nuts to 644 ft. lbs. The nut requires a socket that is 1 11/16" so is a large nut. I have a torque wrench that only goes to 150 ft. lbs. I found wrenches that go up to 700 ft. lbs. but...

I found one set of blades I believe had been used and one that I believe had not been used. This mower has two spindles so I need two sets of blades. One photo shows a comparison of what I believe is an unused blade and a used blade. The other photos show the tip of one of the blades that is...

I have a 3126 Bush Hog brand rotary mower. I inherited this mower with the farm. I took a look at the blades today and believe they need to be replaced (thought that was likely before I looked). Something I noticed that I don't understand: The back of the blades is worn down. What I mean by...

The skid shoes on my LPGS (Landpride) are reversible. I looked at them and the wear indicated it was time. Each skid shoe is held in place by 6 bolts. The bolts are smooth on top and have a square section that interfaces with the skid shoe to prevent them from turning. A nut goes on the...

That photo is too small. Let's try this again.

Thanks for all the advice. My chains did heat up pretty badly. LD1, the stumps were not 6", they are more like 30". I was trying to cut them off 6" above the ground. The advice about keeping it out of the dirt is good advice and I have been very careful about that. Yesterday I received...

I'm in the market for a general purpose chainsaw. Models recommended to me are: Stihl 271 Stihl 291 Husqvarna 455 Husqvarna 465 I've been told that a chain with larger pitch will cut better and last longer. The Stihl saws have a .325" pitch, the Husquvarna saws have a 3/8" pitch (.375"). Is...

I had posted in the trailer forum asking about dump trailers for an ATV. Got some good recommendations. Posters asked that I post any review of a purchase in this forum. I purchased a trailer from ABI. Here is what I posted in the trailer forum. So, I went with the ABI. My reasoning...

We have a Polaris Ranger 800 Crew. The wife has asked "Why can't we get a dump trailer for wood chips and gravel etc." I have no good answer other than "What a great idea". If anyone has recommendations, they would be appreciated. I've found a company called ATI that has what looks to be a...

I have a Bush Hog 3126 (offset) mower. Last weekend I lost a part of the PTO Shield. This is the PTO drive shaft that runs crosswise from one gear box to the other. It is not the PTO shaft that hooks directly to the tractor. The PTO shields are somewhat of a pain in that the ends need to be...

I have a JD 2355 and a semi-mount 10' offset bush hog. The cutter is raised and lowered by a combination of the 3-pt hitch and a lever that works a hydraulic cylinder. There are two hoses and two connections to the tractor. The cutter has one cylinder and one hose goes in the top, the other...

I've continued to mull over getting a batwing mower as I have a lot of grass to cut. My current equipment: JD 2355 with 10' offset BushHog brand rotary cutter (cuts directly behind and about 3' to right of tractor). Great for treelines, around the pond, etc. It is a semi-mount, meaning you...

I've created a few food plots (clover, sunflowers, etc) with limited success. I have a JD 2355 and a Kubota L5740 Basic advice I've received was: 1 - Mow the grass 2 - Poison (Roundup, etc) the grass 3 - Turn the ground up - I've used a large, heavy disc. Always seems to take 5-10 passes. 4...

Thanks for the reply but I probably was not clear. These pins do not connect the draft arms to an implement. These pins connect the lift arm to the draft arm of the tractor. The lift arm screws into a link body. The part that keeps breaking is #16.

I have a 1993 JD 2355 (came with the farm). The lift arms use a pin and bushing system. The pin is part number AR55695 - Lift Arm Pin. It is a pin with a plate welded on one end and a hole for a quick lock clip on the other end. A "strap" (square washer) also goes on it. AR55695 - Google...

I'm researching box blades. I want to "Buy once, Cry once". I see what I'll call standard box blades and "rollover" box blades and "floating gate" box blades and "Lockable floating gate" box blades. If anyone has a good explanation of the differences and recommendation as to what would be the...

I have a lot of hog damage in my fields. I work them (hogs) over whenever I can. They have pretty much gone nocturnal. Can't get a night or bait permit during deer or turkey season. This year night hunting doesn't need a permit during the summer but doesn't help right now. Anyway, aside...

I looked at a used batwing cutter today. It had only one hydraulic line. My current cutter (10' offset) is a partial mount. Front is raised and lowered by the 3-pt lift arms. Rear is raised and lowered by hydraulics. It has two hoses. One lever controls the hydraulics. Anyone have any...

Thinking of getting a larger rotary mower for my L5740. Land Pride makes both a 12' and a 15' that my dealer says will work. Does anyone have any experience, positive or negative, with the Land Pride RC 2512 or RC 2515? Thanks, in advance.

Maintenance on my L5740 would be much easier if the loader was not in the way. Absent taking it completely off, is there a safe way to raise it and work under it? A number of options come to mind. Problem with all of them is that you are betting your life that they will work. 1 - Build a...

I read a lot about "set it in float". I assume that means the loader will rise and fall with the pressure of the ground it is in contact with. Is that correct? If so, HOW do you set it that way? I have a Kubota L5740 with an LA854 Loader. The manual says "Move the lever to the "float"...

While I enjoy my "Tractor Therapy" as much as the next guy, 9 hours of mowing in one weekend is a bit much. I have a JD 2355 and a Bush Hog 10' (offset) rotary cutter. We also have a Kubota L5740 that has a 72" Landpride rotary cutter. I'm considering one of the Landpride batwing mowers, RC...

I'm about to "burn in" the slip clutch on a bush hog that I doubt has ever been done. If it won't slip, what should I do next? Not tried it yet but don't want to come in to type with dirty hands. Would kinda like to get ahead of this if possible. Thanks, in advance.

My Disc has one spot that clogs up, very badly. The spot next to it clogs sometimes. The rest of the disc has no issues. The problem doesn't occur if the ground is very dry. Anyone have any idea why just one area would clog up? If it was a moisture content problem, I'd think the entire disc...

My manual shows service intervals and some things that must be completed after the first 50 hours. For example, changing the hydraulic fluid filter must be done after the first 50 hours. It then says it should be done every 200 hours. However, it also says it should be done when your...

The thread got closed. I know there was an issue with photographs not showing. I'd appreciate the OP re-posting as I've been looking at one of these units and would like to know of potential problems before spending that amount of money.

I had a lot of thick brush to cut. I have a LP RCR2672 and a Kubota 5740. Following the last cutting, I had a fan-belt problem. Dealer said it may have been that large stick got caught up in the fan belt. His advice: Sometimes it's better to cut in reverse. This is a photo I took during...

Included with the farm I purchased was a JD 2355 (1993 vintage). It has less than 1,500 hours on it. I changed the oil and have monitored the hydraulic fluid (wow, that stuff is tough to see on the dipstick). It has been running well. I've noticed some fluid weeping on the engine, but not...

His Mine My Male connection An attempt to attach his to mine (won't go farther)

I tried to borrow a friend's grapple but it wouldn't connect to my tractor's 3rd function. He has a large (100hp?) Kubota and I have a L5740 (58hp?). Weird thing is that his couplings won't go on mine because they are too small. Trouble started when we realized that my 3rd function lines BOTH...

I have a JD 2355 that came with the farm. The tractor is 1993 vintage and low hours (1,443). I believe the tires are original. I already had to replace one rear tire due to dry-rot. I now have a flat front tire. This tire probably fell victim to a stob while bushhogging last weekend. The...
