Hi Everyone, I noticed an oil leak from under the bell housing split pin the other day and immediately my heart dropped, thinking it was the rear main seal. However, a few threads here noted it could be the front pinion seal so I removed the front drive shaft cover and found a mess of front...

Hi All: I noticed that my L5030 HST has developed a slow leak around the shaft that controls the PTO engagement (see attached pic). I suspect it's nothing more than a seal somewhere but Kubota doesn't have a parts breakdown of this unit (Part # TD060-51450) and the online price for the...

Some of you on larger farms probably have medium and heavy trucks with PTO-equipped options. Here's an account of a fatal accident involving equipment of that nature. Stay safe out there! MoDOT worker killed by machinery - Jay

Just curious... I've been doing a fair amount of mowing late into the evening with my L5030HSTC and have noticed that the front & rear factory work lights are barely sufficient. Actually, the rears are fine, but the front units don't light up much, and aren't much of a complement to the...

Here's a question for those of you who have experience with these units. I picked up a two row unit over the winter, and have spent the last week or so getting it ready for use. However, I came across something I haven't been able to answer via the Deere nor the Yetter manuals. My question...

We got back from Moline, IL and took some time to stop in at the John Deere Pavilion. Outside of just being "cool," the facilities were spotless and the folks there were very friendly and knowledgeable. I've got some pics in the album below, but if you're ever in the area, it's a neat place to...

Here are some pics I took yesterday and today. This crane was working very near our office, and fell into the building while trying to manuever some roof trusses in place. No one was hurt, but this proved to be an expensive mishap! There are also more pics in the album here...

For those interested, I installed the radio in the cab of my L5030, and took some pics to document the process. It was simple & straightforward, and I now can enjoy some tunes outside of just my iPod. Hopefully, some others find this useful. There are comments under each picture that...

OK. So, I've got this great new orange-colored tractor, and I've had to trailer it between two of our properties a few times. However, I've been stumped as to figuring out good chain down points. What I've been doing, so far, is to run a chain through the round cross support in the LA853...

Hey Guys: I've been toying with the idea of moving from blue to orange, and got the following quote. Not know much about orange pricing, I was hoping you guys might help me "grade" the pricing: L5030 MFWD Hydrostat Cab R1 Tires - Ballasted Dual Rear Remotes Rear Windshield Wiper Quarter...

Well, I got the field portion [~ 15ac] of our property cut a little over a week ago, and I stopped to take a few pics along the way. It was an absolutely gorgeous set of days, so I thought I'd share. The Tractor A Perfect Day Finished I Finished II Regards, Jay

OK Guys: I'm curious as to your advice/experiences in how you set up the legal structure of your farm or small farm. My wife and I are interested in setting up the farm "operations" as something separate from our own checkbooks. Something from which we can sell a little hay, purchase the...

Good Morning Guys: I only need a quick bit of help. I've got to do the 50hr service tomorrow on my TC40D, and I forgot to look last night in the manual as to the engine oil capacity. I need to pick the oil up on the way home, otherwise it's a 30-min one way trip from home to the nearest Wally...

OK.. I know somehow out there has grumbled about this before but I couldn't find a reference. Upgrading from a TC29D which had a nice, easily removed & cleaned radiator screen, I'm a bit miffed that my new TC40 doesn't have anything similar. Mowing in 3-4ft tall grass, I get tons of chaff and...

Gear-Driven \"D\" Models OK... In looking over my options, I'm also considering the gear-driven versions of the TC40 and 45. I know that NH now offers a "D" model on the TC29 with the option of either the gear or hydro tranny, but I can't find if such an animal exists on the Class 3 tractors...

Howdy! Fairly self-explanatory. I'm trying to figure out the "average real world" price differential between a TC40 and TC45. I'm going to go chat with my NH dealer this next week, and I'd like to have a ballpark figure in mind on the price difference between similarily equipped TC40 and TC45...

Howdy! As a current Blue owner, I've been hoping they might be bringing out something comparable to the new Grand L30 Cab models. They seem very nicely designed, and since I have some very tough property to navigate, the idea of a 50HP HST machine is enticing. Now, with that said, the cab...

Howdy! To all, and especially Spencer , I'm trying to get a generalized idea of pricing on the TN tractors. My better half, who grew up on a large farm, wants a tractor with a cab for a number of reasons. I've gone and looked at the list pricing from the State of MN website, and that gives me...

You know... There I was last night, doing a little bit of maintenance and clean up on my TC29D, and it occurred to me that I couldn't find a vent anywhere on the chassis. Not on the front axle, the rear axle, or anywhere on the transmission/gearbox housing. Hmmm... Knowing that my truck has...

Howdy! Was out at my NH dealer on Saturday to pick up a few parts, and we started chatting about new tractors. In the process, I learned two interesting pieces of information: 1. As of this month, there is now available a TC29D gear tractor. It has all the "D" model options, but comes with...

OK, so I'm real close to buying some new property and I've started to size up my equipment vs. the terrain. I've dealt with lots of big acreage before [2000+acres], but those have all been with much larger tractors. This new piece of ground has 15 acres of level pasture and about 30+ in wooded...
