I’m ready to get a canopy for my L3400. Any pros or cons as to what’s available?

I’ve always had outdoor gardens and when the frost and cold weather came, the growing season was over. Now I have a green house, so I’m wondering how long a tomato plant can last if it continues to stay warm and is weather protected. Any experiences?

Has anybody built an underground green house? I have the walls completed and will start on the roof in a couple days. Just wondering if anybody has one and if so, did you put insulation on the walls, like polyiso panels? also, has anyone run pex lines in the raised beds to keep the soil warm...

Can't find anywhere to change my password. I'm using my iPhone app. Any ideas?

I'd like to make a platform/cage to use while building my log home. It will be lifted and moved around with my telehandler, so weight is not an issue. I want to be able to lift people and materials for working on walls and roof, so it must be strong and safe. For the base, I'm thinking a 4X8...

I have a L3400 and have a box scraper and a post hole digger and I just got a rear blade. I would like a quick attach setup. Will any accommodate the post hole digger or will they only work with the scraper and blade? How about choices? The dealer wants $500 for a Land Pride model. Will others...

I was working on our road this morning with the tractor, removing big rocks so my neighbor can grade it with more ease. I didn't hear or see anything, but I soon saw my Rotty limping out of the woods. I saw a little blood and thought maybe cactus, but after I washed her off, I saw two holes in...

Is a RB1684 rear blade a good choice?

I have a telehandler that weighs about 26,000 and needs about 23 feet to be transported. I had it delivered with a big rig but was wondering if I could haul it on a smaller trailer. If so, would be required? It must have ramps. And what would be needed to pull such a setup.

I have a 2008 Travel Trailer at the Ranch, about 27 feet long with a slide out. I noticed that the awning is wearing real thin at the top edge, where it is exposed to the elements even when it's rolled up. There are places where you can see right through it, all along the top edge. Is there...

My son is building me an AR-15 in 5.56 I was going to stock up on some ammo and have a question. Is 5.56 and 5.56 vs 45mm the same thing?

I used my telehandler to move my 40 foot container and the guy directing me did not tell me that I had the forks tilted too far forward, so I slightly pushed in the door frame for the small door on the side. Now it won't open. I need to put a 2X4 or 4X4 up along the top of the door frame on the...

I have a tele handler that weighs about 26,000 lbs. If I was wanting to tow it places, what size trailer would be required? And what size truck to pull it? Anything short of a big rig?

I have a post in "AZ Ranch" about my future stem wall. This thread is just to point out that it is there. Eddie or others? Suggestions? :thumbsup:

Not exactly a tractor, but I just bought a Gradall telehandler 534 9C. The rear wheels make a lot of clunking noise, especially when turning. Any ideas of what is wrong? And can a mobile unit repair it on site?

I just bought a used telehandler and I know a few people that have one and they all have foam-filled tires. What are the pros and cons? And is something you can do yourself? I didn't write down the tire size, but the sucker weighs 26,000 pounds.

I just bought a Gradall telehandler. Now my problem is getting it from the Louisville, KY area to Seligman, AZ. One freight hauler quoted me $3400. Is that reasonable? It's about 20 ft long, 8 ft wide, about 7 ft tall and weighs about 26,000 lbs.

I just got estimates on drilling a well on my property. All 3 of the drillers have done wells in the general area and all 3 say that most likely I'm going to have to go down 1,000 ft. Whew, that's about 23K. Sakes alive, that's going to be some expensive water.

When we move to our off-grid property we will need propane for the dryer. We have one that uses natural gas. Are they at all interchangeable or do we need to sell the one and buy one specifically for propane?

Anybody have experience shipping firearms? I have a problem with my Glock and after calling the tech department in Georgia, they said to ship it to them. I live in Arizona and I'm shipping to Georgia. Do I use USPS? FedEx? UPS? Do I send it in the Glock case and then pack that in a box of...

Anybody live around Lynchburg that might know anything about the Merritt-Hutchinson Estate on Leesville Road? I'm going there tomorrow for a few days to inspect it. 800 acres is a lot to inspect. Just curious if somebody might know some history on it. Longshot.

My son (LEO in CA) wants to give me his Glock 30. I live in AZ. Can he just give it to me? Can I bring it from CA to AZ or do I need to have FFL ship it? Any forms necessary? I'll be driving over in a couple weeks and would love to bring it back with me. I'm sure there is some type of form. If...

My dump truck is rated for 27,500 lbs max. What would be the potential problems if it was to be loaded such that the scales said 33,000 lbs? Besides being illegal, I am wondering about possible damage to the truck. If I was never going more than 15 mph and only on back dirt roads, what should my...

Anyone up on the AZ carry laws? I have ridden occassionally with the Patriot Guard here and I see dozens of guys riding their motorcycles with firearms in holsters. First question is - are they loaded? Seems like a stupid question - why carry if not loaded, but I don't want to assume anything...

I saw this hitch on the back of a dump truck parked in town. Is this a standard hitch available or is this something someone made? I have a pintle hitch but the most likely thing I will be pulling with my F8000 dump truck is my 25 ft travel trailer, so I need the ball instead of a ring. Would...

Situation: Travel trailer is temporary living quarters while building (for probably 3 years); just installed a 2600 gallon poly water tank about 100 feet away and probably 5 feet higher than trailer; have water line down to junction box beside trailer; we do have freezing temps in winter...

We just put in a 2600 gallon water tank. Eventually we will be living there but for now it is just for weekends. If a tankful ends up lasting 6 months to a year, are any steps necessary to keep the water safe? Should some bleach be added?

I am headed up to my ranch this next weekend and would like to have some oil and hydraulic fluid on hand in case I need to add any. What type of oil would this truck use in the engine? Also, if I needed to add hydraulic fluid to the box for the dump bed, is there a certain kind? Thanks for any help!

A week ago I was flying from Phoenix to Los Angeles and the TSA guard asked me to step aside to inspect my computer bag. I let him know I was rather annoyed. Then he asked me if I owned a firearm. He shocked me a bit, but I stammered that I did but I locked it up that morning before leaving...

Okay, I have given up on burying a container. I will use block and build it right. Meanwhile, I want to put some shelves inside my "above ground" container. Anyone know of a good way to secure some 2 X 4's to these loops that are at the top and bottom. Bo

Does anyone know if it would be feasible to put a 20 foot steel cargo container underground? I am thinking of something like a fruit/root cellar for storage of food. Would it be cheaper and faster than building the root cellar out of concrete block? Would rusting be an issue? If so, could...

Having just mentioned this on the "chain saw chaps" thread, I am curious how many would realize that a quick series of 3 shots from a firearm means help is needed. Is that common to most or would many just wonder what it is?

I have a small Polaris quad (300) and I just bought a small little trailer so my wife can haul weeds, firewood, whatever she wants. I have the quad up at the ranch and I would like to get a hitch ball mount here in town before I head up. I am not sure what size the receiver is. I don't think it...

I just bought a 1980 Ford F8000 dump truck. The tires are okay, but I'm afraid they won't last too long with 90% of the driving to be on gravel, dirt, and mud. I was looking at Goodyear G282 MSD and they appear to be a little more of an off-road type of tire. The problem: I can't afford to put...

After reading about chaps on another thread (I think it was Obed's thread), I ordered a pair and they have arrived. Now when I head up to the ranch this weekend I will have chainsaw chaps and not motorcycle chaps! :thumbsup:

I just ordered the Kubota SS quick attach face plate, a Kubota SSL QT 66" bucket, and Gearmore SSL QT forks for my L3400. I should be able to pick them up from the dealer early next week and then haul them to the ranch for installation next weekend. I'm hoping the install won't be too big of a...

I'm looking at some used dumptrucks to use to haul some gravel for my drive and as a possible tow vehicle if I need to take my tractor somewhere. Several of the smaller trucks (Ford F700, F-800) have listed that a Commercial Driver's License is not required. One I am looking at does not say...

Similar to the other thread, I'm looking for a dump truck to carry some gravel and to be able to pull a trailer with my tractor. I'm looking for a low budget model. I found a 1980 Ford 8000 with a reman CAT 3208 diesel. Is this strong enough? Anything to look for?

I have a 40 foot container on my ranch for a garage for my tractor and tools. I have about 5 plastic approved jugs full of diesel and 2 full of gasoline sitting in the container also. Sometimes I may be away for a week or two before returning. Is it okay to leave the fuel inside the container...

I have been reading Obed's thread on building his house and it is awesome. I am totally amazed at what I have learned on this forum in the few short weeks I have been on it. I'm going to do a little thread on my own so I can get some of this fantastic advice, and hopefully cut back on some of...

I have been looking on Craigslist for about a month trying to decide on a cement mixer when I accidently saw one at Everything Attachments. Duh, it sounds like a no-brainer, to have it mounted right on the toy, I mean on the tractor. Anybody have any experience with this attachment? Pros and...

With a log cabin project coming up, I'm thinking I could really use some forks. Because of visibility, I really prefer the QA instead of the clip-ons. However, my FEL has the bucket pinned. Is a QA face plate and bucket reasonable or should I go with clip-ons since I don't currently have QA bucket?

I have a friend who will sell me an almost new Gearmore 2G2 72" hydraulic box scraper for cheap. Will my L3400 pull it okay? Is it that much better than a Landpride HD 60" scraper?

I had my new to me (2008 with 65 hours) Kubota L3400 delivered to my 40 acres on the 10th. I had a great 12 days getting it broken in. I had to pull out trees, knock down trees, and use my back scraper to make a drive about 1/4 mile long. I'm impressed. I got a lot of hints beforehand about...

I plan on using my L3400 about 8 hours a day for a couple weeks as I prepare my new ranch for occupancy (making a drive, a pad for a cabin, a pad for trailer, a pad for 40 ft container, etc). Should I be using a grease gun on a daily basis, weekly, monthly? I take delivery of the tractor in...

Name is Bo. We just bought 40 acres in Northern AZ so I bought a L3400 to go with it. They deliver it next week.
