I have one of these: 4.5 x8', sides are 1' high. I'd like to have some higher sides occasionally, especially if they could be waterproof. Should I just put stake pockets on it or are there any more clever ideas?

Lately my B2620 has developed an issue with the stay chains on my lower lift arms. They loosen drastically every pass I make down the driveway with the backblade. They used to stay tight quite a while. I can't find anything that has changed much to cause it. Any Ideas how to keep them tight...

I just discovered 2 slices on one of my tires. I hate to think about it, but any thoughts on ways this could happen?

I need to build a small dump trailer. I'm thinking of 3 foot wide frame with 4 1/2' wide box over it. The box would be over the wheels which are 26 inch diameter. Will the center of gravity be too high? Sure trac makes a trailer very similar to this but it's on smaller wheels. Unfortunately...

I'm trying to build a small workshop on a "pay as I go" budget. I was going to pour a floating slab and put a metal carport/garage (TNT style) on it. the current problem is I realized I can't get a cement truck closer than about 75'. So I know pouring the pad is going to get expensive. So...

I have a bunch of utility trailers. a 5x10 for building materials, firewood, moving kids to college etc. The other is 4x6 that I use around the property for firewood mostly because it's small enough to manouever around the woods. I'm looking at the Sure Trac 4.5 x 8 dump to replace both those...

I have not been able to get my fuel filter housing to stop dripping. I've removed and cleaned it several times, but can't get it to stop. To make it worse there's no fuel shutoff , (except the check valve). Any ideas what I can do?

I've been looking for a way to secure my log splitter against theft. I'd like to weld a grade 80 chain to the rail because there's nowhere to wrap it around the splitter. It needs to be grade 80 (or maybe 100) so it can't be easily cut. Is this feasible? thanks for any advice.

I'm starting on a special purpose trailer and need some advice. i'm building a small trailer to carry camping gear to be used on and off road. I have a 42" x 60" box of 16g sheet metal, and started a frame of 2"x1/8" angle. I figure the usual utility trailers seem to be fine this way. I...

I've been looking for a small trailer to use around the property and decided it may as well be "unloadable". I don't have the means to build a real hydraulic dump, but the military trailers that you lock the wheels and push back so they tilt & dump look like a good idea. I'd like to do...

I've looked all over and can't find details on how the mower deck is mounted. I'd like to know in detail so I can tell what work it may potentially interfere with. Anyone have one that can give details? thanks

I have a 15 gallon spot sprayer that I'd like to use for spraying permethrin for ticks. I've seen boomless sprayers for sale. Can I just put a fan spray nozzle on the hose and rig a bracket for it? Any suggestions on a nozzle if that would work? thanks much!

I was running my Kubota 2620 today well after it was properly warmed up, then for about 30 seconds it felt like it was running on 2 cylinders. I could keep it running at high throttle but felt like it would stall. It was cold here but the fuel was treated. then it just ran fine again. wierd...

I'm not sure what the best plan is for my dilemma. I have a nice 5' Woods RB60 which I've used for years. I bought a Countyline 6' blade last year and tried to use it once, but it doesn't have skid shoes like my Woods, so it didn't go well. I was going to rig up some shoes or wheels for it...

is it possible to add brake flanges to an existing axle? I have an older 3000 or 3500 lb trailer that really should have brakes, but there is no flange. Is there a way to do this that's relatively painless or should I just get a new axle?

I just got a front mount 2" receiver from Fabworks OEM for my Kubota B2620. I have no connection to them, but thought others might be interested in this. The receiver tube is 3/16" and the backing plate is 1/4". I haden't expected the grab hook and loop-they're nice touches. Brad was great...

Welded this up with the intention of encasing in concrete. It will only be 320 lbs concrete but I plan on hanging suitcase weights off the back when I'm not towing. I'm adding another receiver near the top link for accessories (sprayer, carrier) and probably a cross piece to it to add tool...

This is my pathetic little log splitter. The wedge which was poorly welded to the tubes broke free. I know there's no good way to weld it there, so I'm looking for suggestions on fixing it. Thanks!

I need to build a 3 1/2' x 5' trailer with some 2" - 1/8" angle I have. It will only have a GVW of 1000lbs or so, but I would still like it to be rigid. I'm wondering if it would be worth the trouble to set the cross members INTO the side rail angle, rather than the usual way of welding them...

My Wrangler needs a new engine. Yes I know I should drop a V8 in it, but that can't happen now. I've been looking at these long block reman engines that are all over the place for about $1150 + shipping , but I don't know if they're any good. Does anyone have experience with these companies...

What would be the minimum acreage to support a family of four in an old fashioned homestead? That is, with someone doing minimal outside work, to grow some food and wood to live on mostly from the acreage? I know very little about the subject, but in a wild guess I imagine you need 5 acres of...

Is it okay to store diesel in a food grade blue plastic barrel?

Is it just me or have ticks been way worse than EVER. I spent all the time I could in the woods for the last 47 years and NEVER saw a tick (NE PA). Now I go out to stack firewood and I have one attached. It's been ridiculous the last few years. I don't know how I'm going to live in the...

Thanks everyone for suggestions in my earlier thread. Now I'm finalizing a plan to put up a modular steel garage around 20x26. It will be on gravel for now but I'd like to be able to concrete floor it in a few years. Can I put down 6" of gravel (compact), then spike down PT 6x6 to put the...

I've been looking for a snowblower for years and found a good deal on a Lorenz model for by B2620 hydro. The seller says it's a 60", which would be good I think, but Lorenz says they only make a 66" which I'm afraid is too much for my tractor. I won't know til I get there to buy it what size...

I've been using 5 gallon Jerricans and have tried all sorts of spouts and pumps. I'm considering a 15 gallon steel gravity feed tank now. Any downside to this? What other options are there?

I desperately need a place to start storing some stuff and am on a seriously tight budget. I was thinking about pouring a slab and having one of those $700 steel carports put on it for now, with the idea of eventually adding walls. should I consider a pole building instead? I know I'm going...

I have a very small utility trailer but could use a larger one for general use. I've been eyeing the 5x10 trailer with a 3500lb axle at TSC. Question is would my Kubota B2620 be okay on it for occasional trips like for service? roughly speaking the tractor/FEL/loaded tires weighs about 2400...

I just added carter&sons quick attach brackets to my lift arms. They are mounted on top, not out behind. I realized however that effectively makes the pins close enough to the top link that it's like using the lower mount point for the top link -- and my manual says to avoid that. Any ideas why?

I ordered a construction Attachments pin on fork set for my b2620. Everything Attachments was great to deal with and i got it in a week and a half. Getting the pins back in was a ROYAL PITA. I can see ill be ordering the kubota QA. I was finally able to move my 3x3x4 firewood pallets. This is...

(I've tried to move this from the build it yourself forum) Please don't flame me, i"m just a poor joe trying to save my back. I've been using a 10 ton HF manual splitter occasionally between strokes of the maul, and this idea flashed in my head: Is there a way to connect the loader hydraulic...

Please don't flame me, i"m just a poor joe trying to save my back. I've been using a 10 ton HF manual splitter occasionally between strokes of the maul, and this idea flashed in my head: Is there a way to connect the loader hydraulic port (quick connect) to the HF splitter cylinder? I'm not...

I'm about to build a pallet fork frame for my 3 point hitch. I'd like to keep the top link attachment low, so it is parallel to the lift arms, so the forks stay level when I lift. Does that increase the forces on the 3 point linkage too much? I'm also planning to simply weld the bottom and top...

Can't delete this but moved to the Build It Yourself forum I'm about to build a pallet fork frame for my 3 point hitch. I'd like to keep the top link attachment low, so it is parallel to the lift arms, so the forks stay level when I lift. Does that increase the forces on the 3 point...

after almost 6 weeks of waiting for the proper tires:

does anything exist that would work like a hydraulic top link, but without the hydraulics? I'm thinking along the lines of a bottle jack, or a ratcheting chain binder like this:

I was thinking of welding eyes to a set of forks or frame that would simply fit in place of a bucket. I know this would be slower than having a skid steer type attachment, bit it seems like it would be very easy. Has anyone tried?

I'm still trying to decide between a Kubota B2920 and L2800. Irealized that besides the "component bolted to frame" of the B's and the traditional solid casting of the L, the B's have aluminum rear ends. What is the purpose of that? Usually one would use aluminum for lightness, but in a tractor...

I'm looking at a NHT1520, Kubota L2800 and noticed that the NH loader has less than HALF the capacity of the Kubota loader. My dealer is quoting me on a Woods loader on the NH which has much greater capacity. My question is why did NH design the loader with such low capacity. Is the tractor...

Hello, I'm new here but not new to tractors, but hoping all your experiences can help me pin this down. I have 2+ acres with a horrible driveway 500 feet long with a very steep spot in the middle. need to do small general "landscaping" as well as driveway maintenance and snow removal. need to...
