Anybody rigged up something for an aftermarket muffler for an M9000 yet? I've had to put an elbow right where the pipe exits the muffler but it looks like more surgery or a whole muffler is in the works. Don't even want to think what the dealer wants for one. What have you done to replace the...

Anybody have one of these yet? How do you like the front axle suspension? How about front loader suspension? I'm looking at a new tractor with suspension but I'm not stuck on Kubota (have three already but I'm not color-blind). A New Holland 6030 or maybe a hair bigger is also a...

You can never have enough light when working at night, so after converting my cabcorner lights to HID, I added a pair of floods from Sloan's that accept 9005 bulbs. VVME has a nice 35w slim digital HID kit that I ordered with 4300k 9005 bulbs. I was going to go with 55w kits, but VVME...

I do a fair amount of work at night and needed a lot more light to be able to see properly so I did a bit of reading up on HID light conversions. A good choice for my cabcorner lights was a kit from VVME on EBay. 35w, 4300k light temperature, and H3 bulbs to match the stock floods on my M105S...

Anybody found a source for these Kubota headlight bulbs? The only writing on the bulb says "12v 45/45w PEACE". The base is virtually identical to your standard 1157 taillight bulb (I put one in and it fit and worked). I'll attach a pic at the bottom that shows a picture of the bulb needed. I...

I'm looking to turn an old steel outboard motor fuel tank into an elevated fuel tank for an engine with no fuel pump. It seems to me that it should be easy to find a small metal bulkhead fitting suitable for use with oil or gas but guess what? No luck so far. I've got 1/2" and larger...

Anybody have some experience with these tractors? I like the idea of the new 6 speed DualSpeed tranny with pushbutton shifting. My 105S has a 4 speed stick with DualSpeed and I love it. Also wondering if anybody can compare them with the older M9000 models. Any flaws/weaknesses in the new...

Has anybody found a place to buy the Kubota headlight bulbs from a place other than the dealer? I'm looking to put some serious light on the tractor and the factory bulbs don't quite cut it. They'll have to stay street-legal but a brighter and whiter alternative would be very nice. The last...

I'm looking to mount a rearview mirror inside my tractor cab like the ones that the bigger Deere tractors have in them. Most of the ones I've seen mount in the upper right hand corner of the cab. There has to be a cheap aftermarket source for stuff like this, but I've looked in TSC, Shoup...

Put a good load on what you're towing, roll over a few hills and gullies (putting vertical pressure on the top of the hitch pin), and VOILA! One pin, one top, and, oh yeah, where did my trailed mower go???

Here's a few pics I took today of a land clearing project to turn it from old cutover woods into wild blueberry land. There's close to 5 acres finished so far this fall in this field and I think we're just about done. Some interesting (to me anyway) statistics is that I tanked up the...

I've been needing a grapple for a while at work and finally ordered one after quite a bit of online research, price-checking, and figuring out what we'd be using it for. I looked at 4 basic designs- stone fork or rock bucket (long bottom teeth with about 3" spacing), Millonzi/Markham longtooth...

Has anybody seen a source for a fan that looks like this? This one came loose on the shaft, ovalled the center a bit, and wore out the blades on one side. It's cast and the vanes and center are roughly 1/4" steel. It's belt driven at a speed approaching 10,000rpm, so whatever I replace it...

Anybody have any experience with FEL QA forks with some kind of rotate function like in the following link? forklift attachments manufactured by Bolzoni Auramo Every spring it seems like I might be forced to get a pair to work with pallets on uneven ground where the pallet might be tipped...

YouTube - Tractor-Truck-Car CRASH Unfortunately mixed with some heavy equipment/car stuff, but some pretty amazing pics of tractor accidents as well. Be safe folks, and don't get into one of these vids!

I know that a grapple is great for piles, but I have a lot of land I'd like to clear of trees and brush. Cutting trees with a chainsaw and removing them whole eliminates most of that brush, but I'd like to use a bushhog/rotary mower/whatever to cut up the stuff that's 10-15' high and have a...
