Ok.. I’ve been looking all over for a side link and it appears that I’ve totally missed the bus. My fixed side link is 19 or 20 inches depending on which hole I use on the fork. As I understand the use of a side link, it would be best to have 4-5 inches of movement at least…. Some have said...

So I’m struggling to choose between a boom mower, or an offset flail. My tractor has 2 rear remotes and I’ve got a Yanmar yt359C. Yanmar specs say 52hp pto some other sources say 46… Yesterday I spent 3 hours weed-eating where either of these could have made it maybe 30 min or so.. a lot of...

I’m curious. Has anyone here put a GMRS RADIO in your tractor cab? We are fairly mountainous. And cell coverage is not so good… so I’ve considered it… Thanks.

Hello! Many times an issue will hit us and not always does someone find it, and fix it and post it.. so here is mine.. The factory 3rd function on the 359c wasn’t working with a new grapple.. so I wondered if it was a blocked hose, etc After checking everything I could think of, I started...

Ok.. I saw this auger bit that someone supposedly used on a Facebook post for a stump grinding.. the more question I asked, the more I doubted… To save yall the collective bung output, I wonder have yall seen a bit used for that?

Well, if you have been watching closely, you’d have seen I recently upgraded tractors from a 34 hp to a 59hp with a cab.. And rear hydraulics.. Its a whole new world.. and many formerly not possible attachments. I will soon be cutting 8-10 more trees.. and I need to just consider spending the...

Well, I am surprised by this… I was cleaning out the back of the shop, and found a 30 gallon sprayer tank and it was tagged glyphosate mixed with 24D and water 40, 40, 20.. it is about 3/4 full.. now the date on that sharpied tag was 2022.. and frankly I don’t even think that date is right...

Hello! I’m working on regrading a bank and removing some stumps. They are all 18-26 inch diameter. Plans are one of the following. 1. Rent a mini ex and dig the entire stump and use the tractor and chain to pull it out. 2. Rent a mini ex and dig it deep, cut it and pull out whatever I can. 3...

Hello TBN! I got a deal a couple years ago on a RTR1258 tiller and post hole digger.. But since I’ve upgraded my tractor with a 30hp PTO to a tractor with a 50-52HP PTO.. The tiller is rated up to 40HP, so I’ll replace it, but I can’t find a PTO hp rating for the tiller… I figured the wisdom...

So I’ve been thinking about a quick hitch…. I’ve used a Pat’s easy hitch for nearly 20 years.. but lately I’ve changed tractors and got a few more attachments.. and my new tractor has a hydro top link… The top link complicates things a little when switching attachments.. I think my bushhog...

I don’t remember who else was looking for info about the Hudraulic Top link for a YT359c… But mine came in.. and was on and working in less than 20 min.. I got it from Agristoreusa .com Top link SKU 06004. 20 7/8 to 31 7/8 I got this length as the 27" max on the factory one was too short with...

welp… after swapping EVERY FEL attachment today multiple times to get work done, when the grapple did not want to connect back on, I got uber frustrated.. Bought the hydro tool from here and found this one—...

After years and years of this bank washing and covering the gravel to the shop… I finally dug out the bank… we have about 5 ft of property to the property line.. and I’ll use all that dirt and then put up a small retaining wall… The new Yanmar YT359c DID GREAT… if I’m right a heavy heaped...

I’m looking at doing those to jockey trailers and not have to swap out to the 3PH Reese adapter.. thoughts?

I pulled the trigger.. they delivered last week. I’m 6.5 hours on it and what a beast compared to my old L3400 Kubota. The bucket of dirt would be 2-2.5 on my bota and it would not lift a heaped load like that.. Glad I did it!

I was wondering .. what has everyone done for a radio? Factory? Or some third party?

Good evening! I just upgraded in a major way.. Kubota 2006 L3400 to a 2024 Yanmar YT359C. So 29 HP PTO to 52 HP.. I have a 25-40 Hp tiller— and RTR1258. I don’t use it a lot.. and it has a slip clutch… A few people have told me it will work fine.. but one said no.. don’t do it.. What’s the...

I’m looking.. and asking opinions…. Hit me with em…

I’m looking out about 6 months for a plan to change out my L3400 tires. Currently have R1s and I’m considering R4. I’d think the R4s would better handle sticks and brush than R1s. I know R4s will require new rims, and I’m sure that this will be a pain. So questions- 1. Will the R4 make the...

So I got a little work done at the property… And I decided that the many small trees might be best handled by the titan post puller.. https://www.palletforks.com/skid-steers/forestry-equipment/post-and-tree-puller-for-skid-steers-universal-landscape-tool/198110.html Anyone else have one?

Hey folks— I’m finally going to me moving the equipment on a regular basis… New property is 25-30 miles down the road so I’ve bought a nice 16+2 trailer. 6k load rating for my L3400, did the math and it should be less than 5k with that I plan to move regularly.. But I do have a few thoughts I...

Good late Friday evening! Got a little head scratcher going on.. My little 3400 is having power loss when going uphill.. It happened before.. and I’m wondering what else I can do.. Last time I was sure it was a fungus growth in the tank.. so I put a helping of bio clean in, changed the fuel...
