If you are considering the acquisition of a Disc Harrow first read this LINK covering Disc Harrow selection: LINK:http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/308251-disc-harrow-selection-18-45-a.html?highlight= ADJUSTING THREE POINT HITCH MOUNTED, BOX FRAME, TANDEM DISC HARROWS ~ BETA...

I am vacillating between two Monroe Tufline 3-Pt mounted tandem Disc Harrows. If anyone has recently purchased one, I would appreciate your comments and whatever pricing you are willing to share. I am especially interested in your experience with Tufline's lever adjustment of gang angles...

I was plowing this morning when the protective trip mechanism on my Ford Series 101, 2-12 plow tripped for the first time. The forward plow tripped. The Series 101 Plow Manual says to leave the plow in the ground and reverse until mechanism re-latches. I reversed but the final 5/8" of the...

My thread of today [CMP 60" DETHATCHER ~ WORKING ~] posted four times. Please eliminate three of the posts, RETAINING ONE POST WITH PHOTOS. ONLY THE FIRST POST, LOWEST DOWN, CONTAINS PHOTOS, OTHERS DO NOT. I attempted to delete three posts but delete box did not come up. Thank you.

First use of CMP 60" Dethatcher. Lawn had two days to dry after a week of heavy rain. After one hour working evaluation, I believe lawn was too damp for optimum dethatching. Photo #1. Thatch buildup/dieout in Florida Saint Augustine lawn. St. Augustine grass is a common turf grass in...

I received my 60" CMP Three Point Hitch Mount Dethatcher today, one week after it was ordered. Price $269, including UPS shipping to my door, in a single carton. Photo #1 Packaged components, out of the carton. Photo #2 Components removed from packaging. (Two 7/16" tools and two 9/16"...

I have moderate to heavy thatch buildup in my St. Augustine lawn, in North-Central Florida. (St. Augustine grass was bred from Florida native grasses.) Soil under turf is perfectly drained, rock free, high pH, sandy-loam. It is hot and very humid during seven months of the year. I am...

I do not have a canopy on my tractor. In Florida the sun is strong all year, fierce during the summer. In lieu of a tractor canopy I wear a wide-brimmed straw hat and long sleeves operating my tractor. As far as I know there is only one source for high quality, reasonably priced 100% cotton...

A minor custom touch. I wanted a place for my 5/16" Logging Chains convenient to the rear of the tractor. I moved the small, gray, plastic, Kubota tool box from the rear to the left fender. Simple bolt through mount on left fender. Removed small aluminum angle the Kubota tool box was mounted...

I have been pulling 1" - 5" diameter wild Vitus Rotundfolia (Scuppernong) grape vines out of Oak, Hickory, Persimmon and other valued trees in a north Florida residential common area for a year. That part of the job is done. Above ground vines have been transported to the community burn pile...

Tandem Disc Harrows and Pi Disc Harrow effectiveness is closely related to weight bearing on each disc or pan. The heaviest components, in total, are the Disc Harrow pans. The weight of each pan is related to its area, its thickness and to its concavity. The formula for the area of a circle...

Disc Harrows come in numerous types. However, for 18-45 horsepower tractors the three point hitch mounted, Tandem Disc Harrow, secondary tillage implement, is ubiquitous. Tandem Disc Harrows are manufactured in two structural types: Angle Iron Frame and Box Frame. Box Frame Disc Harrows are...

I learned a lot from Farmwithjunk's posts on selecting and adjusting Moldboard/Turning Plows. Here is a selection of Farmwithjunk's Plow posts I found useful. I copied Farmwithjunk's individual posts from T-B-N into 'Word' then pasted the consolidation back into T-B-N, therefore the posts are...

It is high time to add DISC HARROW to Topics drop-down in Attachments.

I have started several threads with the goal of learning about Disc Harrows. I have learned more from Farmwithjunk's posts on T-B-N than from anyone else. Here are three Disc Harrow posts I found useful. I copied them from T-B-N into 'Word' then pasted the consolidation back into T-B-N...

I am ready to de-brush two acres of previous cattle grazing land heavily infested with yellow flowered Jasmine. ( I think it is Carolina Jasmine but it may be some other form of wild Jasmine. ) Under the Jasmine there are some junk trees and some Oaks, mostly Water Oaks, I want to save. Here...

I recently purchased a LAND PRIDE - RCF 2060 Rotary Cutter ($1,600) to pull behind my Kubota L3560. Land Pride supplied CHEAP Draw Pins are too short to get a boot on, and ROLL PINS for finger grips? How many customers buying a RCF 2060 will retain the cheap Draw Pins? Approximately zero...

Category 1 draw pin in photo came with my Howse Box Frame Disc Harrow. Does anyone know a web vender? Thanks.

I have respect for the Kioti brand based on bizillions of positive posts here. However, based on thread titles it seems there are a disproportionate number of Kiotis with starting problems. Korea is cold in the winter, so I am surprised to see frequent posts concerning starting difficulties...

Font Size "2" will not "take" for me, operating an Apple Macbook Pro. Other font sizes OK. Anyone having this problem using Microsoft software?

In threads with many posts it would be useful to have succeeding comments from the OP identified somehow. Perhaps the OP's "name" could light up?

The check-off TOPIC header in Attachments heading has 28 topics listed but nothing for Harrow. Please add: Tandem Harrow, Offset Harrow, Spike Harrow and Chain Harrow as topics.

I am regularly surprised when a new-to-jeff9366 tractor or implement company shows up on T-B-N. Tuff-Bilt Tractor is a recent example. (Info posted by DOZERNUT in SE Illinois.) Tuff-Bilt seems to be an interesting, specialty tractor inspired by the Allis-Chalmers row-crop cultivator Model...

Unverferth mostly manufactures for Big-Ag, however Unverferth's Freedom Line has a three point hitch mounted, single-shank, PARABOLIC BLADE soil ripper/sub-soiler that appears to be an ideal match for my Kubota B3300SU/ 33-hp / 1,900 pounds. In the T-B-N archive there are minimal references to...

My tractor/loader is a Kubota B3300SU, 1,900 pounds, 4-WD, 33-hp, 60" tire width. ( Next year I may buy a Kubota L3560HST, also 60" wide, but 3,500 pounds, after observing how reliable the Tier IV emissions compliant iterations are. ) I want to kill/remove thick subsurface wild grape vines and...

Refrain from abbreviating in threads without introducing abbreviations first: Power Take Off (PTO), Ratchet Rake (RR), Front End Loader (FEL), Bush Hog (BH), Rotary Cutter (RC) Finish Mower (FM) etc. Abbreviations without introductions are confusing, especially for tractor novices seeking...

This is my second summer with my Kubota RTV500, 415 hours. I bought it new. Last summer it was faultless. This summer it is vapor locking in the afternoon when temperature is in the 90's. Stalls out, engine won't "catch". It will not start until temp falls into the 70's, then it starts...

I have a Kubota B3300SU with 58" FEL bucket, 59" tire width. There are occasions when it would be efficient to have a 60" or 72" flat bottom TRANSPORT BOX on the 3-Pt. hitch to carry additional dirt, tools, firewood and/or debris with the FEL bucket full. In promo videos Transport Boxes are...

Rollover Box Blade is Bush Hog brand. Some assert Bush Hog (brand) ROBBs are produced by Dirt Dog. This one, purchased new-old-stock in 2012, arrived with a frame sticker: MADE IN INDIA. Good quality construction but poor paint, poorly applied. Width of this ROBB is 60", weight 630 pounds =...

I am considering a dumping 3-Pt. TRANSPORT BOX. Has anyone experience with the Transport Box sold by JDIMERCHANDISE, SOUTH GATE, CALIFORNIA, via eBay for $599 including shipping? Materieal is 1/10" steel, is this heavy enough for general hauling? (No Transport Box on amazon.com) Anyone...

I ordered this 72" Landscape Rake from ETA 5/23/2013. It was delivered 6/25/2013, via Southeastern Freight Lines, Inc. The outside width of my industrial tires is 59"; 72" is the correct width rake. Goldilocks: not too wide, not too narrow, just right. I palavered between 72" and 84", Rick...

REGARDING THREE-POINT HITCH MOUNTED LANDSCAPE RAKES: How important is the spring action of the tines? (ETA Landscape Rake has heavier-than-most tines, but has a 1/8" gap above and below each tine so tines can spring without encountering frame of implement.) How often are Landscape Rakes used...

I would like to eliminate 15 obsolete pictures from my twelve pages of T-B-N photo bank. How do I delete individual photos? I want to delete photos from PHOTO BANK not from individual threads. Selecting individual photos eithin photo bank then hitting DELETE does nothing. Thank you.

This is the largest snag I have caught. I used the Ratchet Rake on the bucket to pull the snag out of a depression in the woods. I am dragging with 5/16" chain attached to tractor with an OMNI Hanging Tree, itself attached to 3-Pt. A-frame structure, also from OMNI. Even elevated for towing...

I max out with tools on the Kubota RTV500 during Spring. Only a few more tools and I WILL BE WALKING.

Has anyone used a Ferguson Yardmaker overseeder? Either LIFT or TOWED model? Can you interrupt flow on TOWED model from tractor seat? Do you use one bin for seed and the second bin for fertilizer? Does the chain drive "stir" the bin contents? Would Yardmaker handle a mixture of seed sizes...

I live in north-central Florida. My soil is nearly rock free sandy loam, what rock there is consists of soft lime-rock. My soil presents a MINIMAL CHALLENGE for disc harrows. February 28, 2013 I took delivery of a Howse 3-Pt. disc harrow, Model DLHT16822B, from my local Kubota/Howse dealer...

HOWSE 16/18 DISC HARROW DLHT16822B - REVIEW I took delivery of a Howse DLHT16822B 3-Pt. disc harrow February 28, 2013. It is a box frame 16/18 disc harrow, meaning 16 discs, each 18" in diameter. It cuts a swath nominally 5'6" in width, adjustable by moving the disc hangers. Howse, Land...

I am creeping up on a L3540 with FEL. I have R4 Industrial Tires on my B3300SU. I know what R1 Ag Tires and Turf Tires are about. In Kubota's L40 catalog two other tire types are optional: GALAXY TIRE, LSW TURF TIRE Nothing comes up on a search. Anyone out there optioned one of the above?

I live beside the Florida Nature Coast Trail, which along its 27 mile length passes through Fanning Springs. During February the trail authority 'hogged along the trail margins but tagged a few trees for preservation. One tree saved is a Florida native Flatwood Plum immediately outside the...

Who makes a 72" Landscape Rake with Hydraulic Swivel? I am considering powering up to a Kubota L3540, which will be ordered with three rear remotes. I want to use all three remotes with any new rake. Rake will used primarily for collecting vine roots, sapling roots and general woods debris...

I am seeking a way to keep four X 1" axle nuts tight on my factory-new Howse disc harrow. I do not weld. I am considering Loc-Tite. I would prefer to replace factory low-tech split-ring lock washers with some improved nut-locking hardware. What about specialty lock washers? NORD-LOCK...

I am nearly ready to order my first 3-Pt. lift disc harrow. Harrow will have a working width of 60-66" to cover 57" tire spread of my Kubota B3300SU ( 33-hp / 1,800 pounds / 4-WD ) I have look for a used harrow but the only ones I have come across have been junk, so I will order a new one. I...

The Kubota B3300SU ( 33-hp / 1,800 pounds ) does not have POSITION CONTROL for the 3-Pt. hitch. Instead the B3300SU has 1/4"ing adjustment of the 3-Pt hitch, which is useful in its own way, but is NOT position control. When using a rotary cutter ("Bush Hog") you wish the mower deck to return...

It was a beautiful day in North-Central Florida. Attached the MUTS trailer to the RTV500, loaded the Wallenstein BX42s PTO Chipper onto 3-Pt. of Kubota B3300SU.....and went chipping. We are having Fall. Our leaves are turning colors, although muted because temps are still in the 70's. C'mon...

I am contemplating purchase of a 3-Pt., 60" (+/-) box frame disc harrow, new. I do NOT own a plow. Pretty much decided I want notched discs on the harrow, to cut Bermuda and native Bahia grass. Disc wear rate is not an issue. Soil is Florida sandy-loam. Very few rocks, just infrequent clumps...

I have owned my Kubota B3300SU tractor/loader package (33-hp/1,800 pounds/industrial tires) for one year. Prior to buying the Kubota, I had considerable experience on a well-used John Deere 750/Yanmar, in the size range of Kubota BX series. Like most new tractor owners I struggled to attach...

At the time I ordered one rear hydraulic point for my Kubota B3300SU I neglected to ask where the control and hose fittings would be. On delivery I discovered they mount to a hefty steel bracket, which is near my right shoulder when seated on the tractor. There is a goodly amount of unused...
