Downsizing isn't here yet but I'm seeing it on the horizon. We're starting to get old enough that we're having trouble keeping up with the 36 Acres that we have and keeping up with the house. There's some painting that needs to be done and I just don't have the ability to do that stuff anymore...

As the title says. Neighbor has an M9540 without hydraulic shuttle. Just had knee replacement done on his clutching leg. And bet his tractor contributed to his issues. I have hyd shuttle on an M7040, and also bad knees. My habits of clutching to shift gears has changed over the last couple of...

A craftsman 20 gallon 220 volt air compressor I had for more years than I remember, froze up. At my age, I no longer use an air compressor like I use to, and don't believe I need to replace it. I have a 6 gal pancake compressor that I use with a nailers, and on occasions where I need air...

The short shaft one. Do the u joints get grease from greasing the shaft? I have greased before, but admit, I missed grease on the last go thorough grease job on this mower. It also broke off a plastic nipple on the radiator. I DON'T want to buy a radiator too. Man this thing is a bear to...

For some time I've noticed holes at the edge of the pond primarily around the dam area. Lately it seems that these holes are getting a little bit more numerous and some of the soils breaking away going into the pond. It's not a tunneling like muskrat coming from the inside of the pond it's...

As the topic says...do they? Maybe I've grown accustom to bright led lighting I've done in other areas, and it makes my eyes think these T8s have lost something when they haven't. I moved here some 8 years ago, and barn lights really poor. The former owner built a really nice barn, but spent...

This fabric is used by a lot of manufacturers of utv soft enclosures, and probably for other type of outdoor fabric items. I want to make some mods to a soft enclosure I have on my Mule Pro FXT. But can not nail down a source for this. Anyone know where I can get this type of fabric?

Well...this evening it appears my dawn to dusk light has stopped working. I do not like the yellowish hue it put out and have been tempted to replace before now with an led one. Now, the decision is forced upon me. Looks like many options, but I want a light designed for the purpose, not a...

This isn't on a trailer but a batwing. It's takes considerable force to make it move. It appears they took off without removing the jack and the parts sliding together are binding. How do I get the foot out of this jack?

I bought these at Costco...like their output and color. I put one in a garage door opener. Worked fine for several days, then problems. Hit or miss if it works. I thought because of vibration led would be better to use there than a filament bulb. Anyone else experience t his?

Ive got a few trees like this in the yard. Are the tree roots growing up out of the ground or has the dirt eroded?

I had a really beat up batwing when in Texas, and mowed fair bit with it. But I never really had the need to left the wings while pto was running, just went around things. The wing cylinders also leaked like crazy, so I didn't move them much. Bought a batwing to mow around ponds and some...

Who's done it how did you do it? Was it worth it. My reasons for considering it? When I moved here 6 years ago the pond had a lot more grass than now. It still has it, just not to the extent. It was hard to fish from the bank due to the grass....except for topwater and boyee would they hit it...

Have an 8 acre pond as part of my front yard. 6 years ago when I moved here, crawdad mounds common around pond. Over the years seems they have spread. Run over them with UTV or mow them down results in spots like you see in the picture. Plus, an unevenness in the yard. The crawdads are good for...

I've been looking for a batwing for some time, but really didn't have the money. This year I decided to make a definite effort to locate one, money still being an object, and started searching quite a bit. From reading, I wanted a Bush Hog 2615/2715....but try as I may, just could not find...

For the last 4 years, I've gone thru 4 different lights of this type, bought at different places each time. Some years back living in Texas I had these lights and not any problems at all. But every one of them has gone out or don't perform right. I've tended to buy the cheaper ones, but those...

Seems the T8 shoplights for the $12-15 price have disappeared. One of mine went out, and come across an LED shoplight at Menards for $25.99....with 11% rebate, $23.13. Since I couldn't find the T8s, I bought it. It puts out the same light a 2 bulb shoplight does, no more or less. So an FYI...

Since I've had this mower, I've notice a squeal coming from the deck when I get into heavier grass, or go faster in regular grass. I previously assumed it's something to do with the mower belts. But listening to it as I mowed today it occurred to me it might be a bearing squeal from pulling...

Your android app is crashing or hanging if a picture is involved. Enough already. PLEASE replace it with something. It's past time for that to occur.

I always go through the release of pressure before I detach my grapple, but it is good odds that the grapple will build pressure just sitting there. SO, finally took the time to build my version of a release tool, hopes it works. Untested.

My first mowing with this F3680, I'd say the cut is excellent. Better than I hoped for. Perhaps it looks so good because it is shorter than I normally cut and that may be a more groomed look. But I want to raise the cutting deck height. Over the years my understanding is that the front of...

I've bought a grapple and have plumbed in a diverter valve. Went to hook it up and could not get the handles that snap it in to go down on the right side. Oh so close, but I could tell something isn't lining up right. I started to take a binder (which I down have here) and pull it in enough...

I bought one of these based upon discussions here on it. At $30 I gave pause, but I would buy again. It does help that you don't have to hold the coupler in place as you pump grease. The short comings of this coupler....I can't get it into some spots due to it's bulk/length. With the coupler...

Is this knob, solid? Is it just glued on? Anyone know?

Part of the purchase of my current house was a new driveway, since I bought this out of a larger parcel of land. I said...I don't like weedeating, and wanted the culverts set in to allow mowing around them. Well it didn't work out. Irritated about it, but it is what it is, and trying to...

M7040 here....plumbing in a diverter valve for running a grapple. The grapple came with 1/4" JFles, the OD on that hose is 9/16. I bought a generic 3/8" hose from rural king, the OD on that hose is 3/4. The Kubota hoses, with 1/2" connectors, on the loader have an OD of 5/8. Are the Kubota's...

I plan on installing right over the top of where the quick connects are for the loader. Debating whether to tie in by using quick connects or tieing into the line on the loader without quick connects. Like opinions. Quick connects is going to add a lot of 'bulk' to hoses in the area of the...

Couple of weeks ago I posted a thread raising questions on how Kubota hydraulic valves work. This thread. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/312251-m7040-rear-remotes-how-they.html?highlight= In using the tractor since then, I found I was incorrect it saying this...

We've been here for the three summers now....and last two years we have been covered up with hummingbirds. So far this year, we definitely have some but not the numbers as in past. I commented to the wife yesterday that I recall more around the previous years by this time. Just now got an...

Came across this plant today, and liked it. Did a lot of googling, and I cannot determine what it is. Can someone ID this?

This evening, the TBN app signs me on...but then trying to access forum i get this:

Bought this tractor used late in the year 2013. Only used the FEL over the winter, but now have used the 3pt some, and the rear remotes...not working to my liking. I have 2 rear remotes, both in use with TNT. The first remote, operates the tilt cylinder, and it is smooth, no detents, but ...

Bought this sickle some months back, trying to put it to use, and running into an install problem. The mechanism that raises and lowers the blade is an attachment to the sickle, that attaches to the top link on the tractor. I had multiple holes on the tractor and put in the lowest one, and left...

I use a small pancake air compressor at the end of my workbench for various air issues. I have one of those yellow coiled hoses....works well for my purpose there....but it's the only place I use this type of hose. Well the hose broke right at the end of the bard fitting. So I cut off square...

Can anyone ID what this plant is?

Had this pump for about 1 1/2 years, pumping from truck aux tank to mower, gator, tractor. Hasn't really pumped that much either. Worked great....until today. Runs, just stopped pumping. I'd use maybe a week ago, worked fine. Took it apart limitedly, don't see issues. Checked the drawing...

I'm starting to use a smartphone, Galaxy S4, more and more for forum reading. I use Tapatalk a great deal on other forums. On this forum, I've just used the web, but it's tedious. So, I tried Frontrunner. I have for years simply checked on 'new post', and your 'current' button appears to be...

I've got an M7040 bought used 6 months ago. I had a different M7040 5 years ago. I noticed this one the quick connects seemed longer. Well certain they are now. Today a friend was using my tractor with a concrete mixer. When he raise the mixer, the top hydraulic cylinder (I've got TNT on...

I've used Rotella 15w-40 in all of my current diesel vehicles. Duramax, M7040, ZD326, JD Gator 855D. The Duramax I've had since new 2002. I've got 230K miles on it with no oil related issues. The oil in it, darkens gradually after an oil change, and is black at 5000 miles, my oil change...

Yes, yet another landplane thread. I have a new 1500ft gravel driveway. And have thoughts of building a landplane for maintaining it. It so happens a neighbor's relative has a landplane and I was able to borrow to see how it will work out. It works reasonably well, but have some issues. Few...

I've had a couple of M7040s, and have never had the need to run them on a road any distance at all.....until now. Yesterday I went couple/3 miles to borrow a landplane for driveway work, then back. I ran at 2600 rpms, and feel the tractor was screaming, but had throttle left. What rpms does...

Moved here 3 years ago...part of the house purchase on contract for deed was the owner was to put in a new gravel driveway about 1200 feet. It would connect to an existing blacktop drive of another 1000 feet or so to the house. Driveway is done, but not happy with the rock. It needs more...

I bought a used 2007 Kubota M7040 3 months ago....like it a lot. It is the 2nd M7040 I've had. The first one, a 2008 model I bought new in Texas. I have a unheated but insulated barn I keep the tractor in. With this cold weather, finding the tractor turning over cold really slow. I hooked...

It's not greasing....although that is a pita.....it's refilling the grease gun, THEN MAKING IT WORK AGAIN. Many years ago after going through endless issues with grease guns ( some of them sailing across my work area) I thought I discovered what the problem was. The plunger doesn't insert well...

Bought a used M7040, and changing all the fluids/filters etc in it. The manual sales 11 gallon on how much hydraulic fluid it will hold. 11 gallon did not make it show in the dipstick. Kept adding a gallon, finally at about 14 gallon, fluid showed on the dipstick. What have you other owners...

Bought a tractor recently...and the hydraulic oil is a little milky, so obviously changing it. Is there an trick to getting ALL the old fluid out, other than just draining it? Got to be oil in the lines, cylinders, etc.

I want to replace the hydraulic oil in a recently purchased M7040. The local Kubota dealer quoted me $99.99 for 5 gal Kubota UDT. THAT ain't going to happen. Checking around, price varies a great deal....and I they don't give you the details of what the label says and whether it's up to UDT...

Bought a Kubota M7040, and want to change both hydraulic filters and fluid. I normally take my used oil to OReilly, and they will accept hydraulic oil, but their reporting process allows only 5 gallon at a time. SO....I got a full 5 gallon of used motor oil that I need to take now. AND...

On a three point hitch sickle mower, how is the sickle bar raise and lowered? I don't see a hydraulic cylinders on pictures I have looked at.

Well....just made a deal on a used Kubota M7040....NOW attachments. And I'm not going to get in a hurry on this do to $$$$ and winter coming on. Over this winter I'll be searching for a buy on the right sickle mower. I've got multiple pond banks I want to mow....one of many reasons I...

I had a Kubota M7040 three years ago, had to sell it due to a move Texas to Illinois. Now, looking for another one. Anyone have one for sell let me know. BUT that痴 not my question. With the M7040 I had a 7ft cutter single gear box. I got to thinking while using that cutter, that with only...

When in Texas I was ag exempt...bought from dealer no sales tax. Now it's different. The 36 acres I have is for enjoyment not work, and ag exempt isn't going to happen. BUT...is it not true since tractors are not titled/license/etc, if I bought a used tractor from a private owner, there would...

Since tractors do not have titles, how can you be assured a tractor doesn't have a loan on it?

I consider this wrong. Not sure what is causing this, but you need to check it out.

What is the difference between a Kubota MX5100hst and their L5040?

I currently mow about 4+ acres. Front/back yard, bands along a long driveway, and around an 7-8 acre pond. There is one section that I started mowing "yard like" that was pasture and it has rough spots that beat the snot out of you mowing. It looks ok...in fact pretty nice...but it would be...

Of the tractors Kubota has in this series, in the 35hp to 45hp .... or so ..... range. Does anyone tractor stand out as been superior? Or are they about the same except for the horsepower?

How much of a slope can a tractor do when mowing? The former owner of my place now, says he has mowed two pond dams we have by just "side hilling"....these are 25 deg and 30 deg slopes. His tractor is a JD 5410. I won't side hill the 30 deg slope in my Gator....and my pucker makes me thinks...

I currently have a ZD326 and it's pretty good. BUT...I have several issues mowing with the ZD326 that is making me think I might want to change to a different machine. First I'm mowing 4 acres every week, and wish I could cover ground faster, or have a bigger mower. Second, wish the mower is...

Moved to Creal Springs couple of years ago, and have a 7-8 acre pond. It has a fixed height dock. The former owner ran electricity underground to three spots in the yard, one being about 100+ feet from the dock. He had used extension cords laid on the ground during the winter to run a pump to...

Years and years ago I rented a dethaching machine for my yard...it really pulled a lot of dead stuff out. But my yard at that time was about an acre. Now, I mow about 41/2 to 5 acres, it would be wayyy to slow. It's more like a pasture converted to a yard. I have a lot of spots like this...

Anybody ever used any of this stuff. Video is impressive...but it does seem expensive from what little research I've done. Ultra Ever Dry - YouTube

I致e had this ZD326 for a couple of years, and when I bought it, I thought what a silly arrangement they have on their fuel gauges. There are two separate tanks, left and right. A switch below the seat allows you to pull fuel from either one, or turn the fuel totally off. Each tank has a...

I purchased this inexpensive power washer couple years ago?eems to work great, then? no start. It has one of those motors with not a single adjustment on the carburetor?t doesn稚 even have a choke! I did not realize that until after I bought it, and started in the first time. For awhile it...

I bought this 25 gallon ATV type spot sprayer and did quite a bit of spraying with it when I was at my small ranch in Texas. Always worked good. I always cleaned it out good if I wasn稚 going to be spraying the next day, in other words, I feel I took care of it. Moved to Illinois last year...

Moved from Texas to Illinois, and now have a 7-8 acre pond. Really like it, good fishing to. BUT.....prefer not spraying chemicals on weeds at pond edge. Thinking of ideas how to go about maintaining it, and thought of a propane weed burner. Has anyone used for this? How did it work?

I'm no longer in Trinity, TX...made the move to Creal Springs, IL. Now, I just need to recover from the move. The grass is soooooo green and lush here compared to the drought areas in Texas. Really different to mow, and not contend with dust. One thing I need to do with this new place is fix...

The manual says either one. I have UDT for tractors etc, but not SUDT which I know is more expensive. Does either work ok, or is this hst happier with SUDT? What is everyone else using?

I retired a couple of years ago, in great anticipation of what's ahead in retirement. We intended to sell our house near Tomball, TX, and build on my small acreage near Trinity, TX. Over the last couple of years, the economy went bust, our daughter had a divorce, loosing my son-in-laws help...

I'm having trouble with round bales sticking on the quick attach hay spear on the FEL. One bale was stuck so bad....we ended up breaking the spear. A new spear, slightly smaller in circumference has been weld on...and I'm again having the same problem. I tried spraying on some white...

I have used three types. 30 gal pressure with a 12v pump?.this sprayer works great. Hand pump up pressure sprayers?.I have had several of these, cheap and expensive, and every single one of them crapped out, many times in the hand valve. I致e taken them apart, blew air through them, fixed them...

Based upon your posts on this forum, and the PM exchange we had, I ended up buying a Markum grapple exactly like yours. My tractor is an M7040 so it is basically the same tractor as well. My use matches the way you use the grapple a great deal, in particular rooting out trees. You do put some...

Does anyone know how much fluid you will lose just changing these two filters?

I have a John Deere 425 AWS. I cannot get this into free wheel, the differential lock seems engage regardless of what I do. The free wheel rod, when engaged, presses down on two buttons on top of the differential. They are not froze up etc etc?nd I suspect something is wrong inside the...

I need to buy a phd, and it appears to me the Speedco heavy duty model TSC has, is identical to the Rhino S300. Does anyone know if they are the same?

I am a little overdue in changing the fluid for both of these, but one of the reasons, every time I look at it, I知 confused as to how these interrelate. The drain plug for both the differential and the axle gear appear to be the same drain plug. So if you change oil on one, you change both...

All you build it yourself guys?.I inherited some thin wall pipe. What can I build/do with the larger pipes in this picture. I have already banded three together and made a culvert out of them, but being thin wall, 5 inches in diameter, just not sure what project would work. They are 14 foot...

I need to buy one, but the $2600 price tag on a Rhino 184 gave me pause. Although after doing some price checking, it may not be that far off of what you need to pay to get a quality one. How much will I have to pay to get a quality one? And brand, Rhino, Brushhog, Landpride, others?

I have a small ranch with no infrastructure 70 miles from my resident. I get there every week, 2-3 days at a time. I have a large 120hp tractor there, and stealing it...they would need to work at it. But, I'm fixing to buy a 50-70hp tractor, and will at times have to leave out there. How...

I've done a compare on Mahindra website, and I can't really see the difference. Can someone explain? It does appear their 5x20 series has a larger motor and heavier hydralics.

What are the differences. Are they simply moving the 5x25 series out? Their web site seems to slant the information ther to the 5xx3 series. To further compound it their 6030 series overlaps into both of these.

I've started to notice a bit of jerking with the steering in full lock either left or right, coming from the rear. Slowly been getting worse, and took the time today to look into it. After getting it up on blocks and working the steering, it appears the inner rear wheel has a looseness to it...
