I have a Kubota L3000DT that has R1 (ag) tires. Daughter bought a 5 acre place that about 3 acres is rough pasture with a few locust trees on it. Putting grazing animals on it is not an option. Would swapping the R1's for R4's be a good option? If so, what size R4's does the L3000DT take...

If anybody has a set of turf tires and wheels for this tractor they want to sell, I'd like to hear from you. The sizes are 13.6-16 rear; 24x8.50-14 front. Thanks. you can email direct at cpurv69@yahoo.com if you prefer.

Don't ask me how because I don't know, but the computer became infected with what Symantec calls: W32.Kitro.A.Worm W32.Kitro.D.Worm I *think* this thing has caused a bunch of files to be generated in the Windows/Temp directory. Symantec says they're all quarrantined; not to worry. But why...

I've sworn off Wix, Baldwin, Donaldson, ....all of them. No More! Not for the Kubota, anyway. Why, you may ask? There is a gorgeous little redhead running the parts counter at my local Kubota dealership.

Thinking about declaring chemical warfare on crabgrass. The yard has more crabgrass than I find acceptable, and I have a fairly high tolerance for weeds. The neighbors' yards look to be oceans of the stuff and I don't want this to get completely out of hand. Anyway, I read a while back about...

Didn't want to put this under Parts and Repairs because it isn't tractor related. We have an old beater '93 Taurus, aka 'Archie'. Nearly everything has broken on Arch EXCEPT the air conditioner which, until this summer, always worked flawlessly. This summer, it barely emitted any cool air at...

Does anyone have access to a source for values of used equipment, in particular, Grasshopper mowers? I am looking at a 2004 928D Grasshopper with 61" deck and 1200 hours on the clock and don't have a clue as to what it's worth or what it cost new. Thanks.

Been reading about the new 6.4 Powerstroke. Talk about having to sift through the chaff to find the wheat...you can find everything from statements saying it is an International engine to it being a Ford designed and built engine. Also horror stories about having to remove the cab from the...

How many of you know what I'm talking about when I say there is something to be said for owning a high quality product. It seems that the quality of the product is, in and of itself, an attribute of considerable value although it usually doesn't affect whether or not the product functions...

Anyone familiar with the origins of the phrase "No man is a prophet in his own land"?

I posted this on a Chevy forum today, but there are some pretty smart people here, too. I apologize if this is not the correct forum.

Anyone an ME guru? I've got a dual boot system--two hard drives, one with XP, the other with ME. The drive with ME on it does not recognize the one with XP (which is good) so the ME boot system has been what I let the kids use. Problem: Ran Adaware and Spybot on the ME drive. Spybot ran OK...

If anybody is interested, I saw a 3130, 250 hours, GST, FEL, KK 5' brush hog, and 5' rear blade for sale. Asking price is $15k. I can supply the guy's phone number if interested. Location is 40 miles south of Kansas City.

Is anybody familiar with the 1/4 ton military trailers? I have one (M416) that came with my M151 jeep. It has served no purpose other than occupy shed space the entire time I've owned it. I have been hauling water to our semi-newly planted trees for the last 2 1/2 months using tap water...

It's aerating time again. Finally got the right conditions to aerate. I bought an aerator last fall and the grass went dormant before I could use it. It rained Thursday, and I thought Saturday would be OK because I didn't want to take off work Friday to aerate. Saturday came and the ground...

Didn't know whether to put this under the Kubota section or here. I am thinking about replacing the factory fuel filter on my Kubota L300DT with this: Fleetguard fuel filter/heater or this: FM100 from Stanadyne Though I think I like the Fleetguard model better, I have no idea of its...

I bought a block heater at the end of last winter and never got around to installing it. It is the kind that replaces a freeze plug--the only question is, which one? IIRC, the instructions said the one that's basically covered up by the starter. There is another one toward the middle or front...

Just finished core aerating about three acres. Don't know if it will do much good, but can't do much harm and only cost about $75 (rental on the Landpride core aerator). Observations: The Landpride CA2572 that I rented looked to be fairly new. It also had the optional water tanks. When I...

After finishing mowing yesterday and putting it away, I noticed a huge oil slick underneath. I eventually traced it to an apparent gasket failure between the block and the housing that covers the PTO end of the crankshaft. Does anyone know of a source for parts for these engines? I am not...

My daughter just bought a new Acura RSX and told me the salesman told her NOT to change the oil in it until it reached 10K miles. I didn't think that could be right, so I started going through the owner's manual to verify, and sure enough-- it says, "do NOT change the oil until the maintenance...

We got a colossal ice storm over the last few days, and my L3000 was sitting outside in it. I decided I needed to move it out of range of any trees so no falling limbs could hit it. When it started, the charging light did not go out. It ran for a few seconds while I wracked my pea-brain for a...

With apologies up front to those who will undoubtedly be offended, I offer this observation: HR departments are worse than utterly worthless--they are a cancer on a business. I made a cameo appearance at our weekly staff meeting today, my first in about two months. During this meeting, our...

The credit card thread brought this issue to mind: Is there any way to restore sanity to my email account? I am currently bombarded with anywhere from 30 to 50 trash messages a day, from Viagra hawkers, hair growth formulas, wealth schemes, and pornograhy solicitations. I've created a...

The fenders on my L3000DT seem to be fairly flimsily mounted. Certain rpm's (around 1300-1500, iirc) seem to hit the resonant frequency and they commence flapping something akin to Dumbo attempting take-off. Anyone else notice this? If so, any easy fixes? At first I thought there must be some...

Kubota suggests some extremely long, to my way of thinking, warm up times in the owner's manual of my tractor (L3000DT). Is this really necessary?

There is a light on the left fender of my tractor which is on (brightly) all the time. It is a separate light from the flashers. Is this supposed to be this way? I find no mention of it in the manual.

What is the difference between Category 1 and Category 0?

I received the following in an email. >The following, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing. > >Its subject is "America: The Good Neighbor" > >Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a >remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a >Canadian...

Went looking for a 16' tandem axle utility trailer today. What a disappointment. The ones I looked at were of such pathetic quality and flimsy construction that I don't think I'd use one if they gave it to me. I am no welder, but I swear I could do better than most of the welds I saw. No...
