I have read that king snakes like to make a meal of poisonous snakes like copperheads, but have never witnessed it in person until this past Friday. I was putting my dog in her pen (about 20 yards behind the house) Friday evening when I saw what looked like a balled up black snake near her pen -...

Last weekend I picked up a B7800HST (2003 model, I believe) that has 204 hours on it and has been garage kept. It has the R3 turf tires on it, and I got it with a Bush Hog loader with 4' bucket, 60" Kubota MMM, 5' medium duty rotary cutter, 5' box blade, 6' disk, and a brand new 4' King Kutter...

I just purchased a used B7800 with a 60" MMM mounted on it this past weekend. I didn't get an owner's manual with it and the man that owned it is now deceased (I bought it from his widow), but I seem to recall that at least on some tractors the MMM can be locked in the raised position so that...

A guy I know has a BX2200 (4 years old, I believe) that he would like to sell. It has a 54" MMM, but no FEL. He has only used it to cut his grass and pull an aerator over his 1/2 acre yard, and it has a grand total of 72 hours on it. He is asking $ 6500 for it, and is firm on that price...

Not all tractor rollovers occur out in the field...... My neighbor (Danny) across the road was driving his Yanmar 2020D (no rollbar) with his rotary mower attached to the 3-point hitch down the blacktop paved road right in front of the house when he met an oncoming car. The road on his side...

I have what I guess would be considered a "grey-market" tiller, a Niplo model SC-1600. It is about 62 inches wide, works really well, and is pretty heavy duty. The only problem is that the tines are getting pretty badly worn, and there are several broken ones. I have been unable to find a...

I changed out all the filters, engine oil, hydraulic fluid with Super UDT, and greased everything on my L5030HST over the weekend (I've got 100 hours on it). I located all the drain plugs on the transmission / rear end and removed them all when I drained the hydraulic fluid, and I refilled with...

The new 5030HST was delivered this past week, and I got to spend some quality time with it this weekend. Tilled up 3 gardens, filled in a ditch that had washed this past winter, moved some dirt from here to there just because I could....... I think we are going to get along quite well...

Well, here I am at work with the new tractor sitting at home in the driveway. Another hour and I'm outa' here! The new baby is a 5030HST and 843 loader with HD quick detach bucket and filled R4 tires. I picked up a used 6' tiller to go behind it this weekend - garden season is right around...

I'm curious about what the consensus here is regarding the prices for these two tractors (I still am struggling to decide between the two, but that is the subject for another post). I have quotes from my local dealer $20100 for the 4330 and $24050 for the 5030, both with hydrostatic...

Have any other 3010 owners had problems with losing their ground connection where the ground cable bolts to the frame? It seems like a pretty poor design to have the battery ground cable attached to the frame by a little 12 mm bolt directly under the battery. I started the tractor last night...

I have just purchased a new (to me) L3010 and am wondering about what size rotary cutter people have been using with this size tractor. I have been using a pretty heavy 6' cutter (about 850 pounds) behind an M4700 and I'm not sure about using with the 3010. I would be cutting off pasture grass...

I have the opportunity to buy a 2001 L3010 tractor with shuttle shift, industrial tires, and Kubota loader (482??). The tractor has 91 hours on it, and looks brand new. Best I can tell the fellow used a 6' finish mower for about 3 acres, roto-tilled his garden, and moved a little dirt around...
