Questions Re ROPs Options and Backhoe on L \'30s Some related questions on the ROPs options for the Grand L '30 series and the new BH90 backhoe. 1. I understand that there are both a folding ROPs and a non-folding ROPs available. The folding is about 91 inches high; the non-folding is about 85...

Top n Tilt on Grand L \'30 Series Usually knowledgeable dealers are giving me inconsistent info on the physical set-up and pricing on TnT. What is clear is that Kubota has a TnT "kit" that lists for $700. Separately, also listed are stackable rear remote outlet/valve/lever kit packages: $600...

Six months ago it was the only site on all the internet that would not recognize carriage returns with a Mac running OS X. Now it recognizes them. Congratulations. Or maybe not. Who knows the reason? There have been a few OS X release levels since then, and I have also switched to the beta...

... (subtitle) Never Underestimate the Omnipotence of a FEL and Coolie Labor. It was June 1. It was cold. It was raining. Again. (Where is global warming when you need it? Obviously hijacked during the Klintoon administration.) Its piddly drainage routes clogged by silt, the Oozama VerBoten...

Anyone else have the dubious pleasure of getting one of these? I got a case of Ehrlichiosis this summer. Like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, it comes from a tick bite. What a sneaky sucker. You don't even know you have anything until you feel like dying. This particular disease...

When the tractorman is driving his tractor over a swamp at night, taking his two dogs out for their midnight frolic, he often gazes in awe at the glittering sky. And wonders. What are the stars and galaxies made of? What else is out there? Does it bother anyone else that the answer now seems to...

A browse by state feature. To locate equipment close to home.

There are many and ever-recurring threads here about how to fit up a tractor with a toolbox. All these threads miss the obvious: you don't need a toolbox on a tractor. I've proved it. Owned a tractor for two years and never needed a tool for any reason. Here are the specifics for the newbies...

I'd like to make believe that this is a general observation, but we all know what I am referring to. So, to get to the point: I don't think extremely long customization threads are the best presentation of the substantive ideas they contain.....These threads contain some of the most...

Is there such a thing as a hydraulic skidsteer finish mower that could be mounted on FEL arms? Were I to get a new tractor, I would have an ATI skidsteer attachment plate put on the FEL so that I could use skidsteer quick-attach buckets, forks, augurs, hoes, etc. It would seem that one should...

Who\'s Got the Most Acreage? I was just reading a thread and clicked on jrpoux's profile. He's got . . . egads. . . 6000 acres! (Texas, naturally.) Does anyone have more than that?

I'm seriously thinking of hitting the road. Vamoosing. Getting out of Dodge. In other words, screwing it..........But I don't yet know where I would settle down, if anywhere, and I wouldn't have much money available.......One idea that seems reasonable is to get a motor home and do a vagabond...

Is there such a thing as a dump trailer that you can tow with a compact tractor that can hold the equivalent of the bed of a large pickup truck?.........I would like to haul several score tons of gravel and dirt onto my property but I don't want to buy or rent or pay for a truck to do that...

Has anyone put an after market seat on a Kubota Grand L? I have become very partial to seats that have arms (which the L doesn't), that can recline (which the L does), and that have a lot of vertical travel (which the L is sort of mediocre at).....Any good or bad experiences or other info would...

Size/Make of BX Rear \"Bar\" Tires? I am looking for the size, make and model of the "bar" tires that the BX uses on the rear. Would appreciate it if any of you owners would look and post this info.......The reason I am asking is that I am investigating high flotatation tire alternatives with...

I must mow the Oozama Ver Boten. I need help figuring out how. The Oozama is low area of icky, oozy, wetty, vegetative muddiness that extends like a band, laterally, completely across my property. Imagine that my property is a football field. I have a creek that crosses it at the 25 yard...

For the nostalgia lovers who want to relive the 1920's to the 1950's, there is no better way than listening to the music of that era, especially while surfing. Here is what I listen to: <A target="_blank"...

Just learned on another thread that Bird's favorite cake is cheesecake. Now, I am prepared to put computers and boxblades aside and agree wholetummily with that........This is a yummy topic.......As a general proposition, I favor dense cheesecake over airy cheescake. (Same with brownies...

Backing Up Mixed PC\'s and Mac\'s I feel slightly guilty asking for computer advice on a tractor forum, but it's winter and I'm not into tractors lately....... Besides, I get better computer advice here than I do on the computer forums. Everyone on those forums seems to be a 16 year old...

There is something far more useless and frustrating than a teenager or a boxblade--modern computers. I am not being sarcastic when I say this: computers have gone backwards in throughput function for the average user...... I returned to Macs after 5 years working on PCs provided by my...

I am having other weird phenomema with my new OSX Mac on the web in addition to my inability to create carriage returns in TBN messages, unless I post the message and then go back and edit it (which I will have to do with this one). Another weirdness is that sometimes two particular symbols...

Why Don\'t My Posts Have Paragraphs? When I write a post I create paragraphs by double spacing, as I do in all text programs.The paragraphs show up in the preview box, but in the final post all the sentences are run together in one paragraph. What gives? I see other happy paragraphinators...

What do these titles mean? How are they earned or awarded? What powers or authority do they confer?

I need ideas to prevent water from dripping through my back deck so I can store my tractor stuff under there and keep it dry. The acre my house is on slopes downward from front to back. So I have a walk out basement in the back of my house. My wooden, traditional construction back deck comes...

I can see it coming: more Star Member gadgeteering. Over in Forum Feedback Harv has been on an aggressive campaign to profile non-profilers. Then, in a PS, he suddenly asks billboe what altitude he is at. I believe this is a coded message that Harv is issuing to other Star Members to begin...

In researching new laptops, I see that if I go IBM, I can buy, for different prices, otherwise similar models with either Windows 98 (2nd edition) or ME or 2000. It seems if I wait a while, I can get machines with XP, which seems to come in about three different flavors itself (home, office...

This anthrax epidemic makes me sick. Ever since we have been cursed by multiple 24-hour "news" channels, non-news has expanded to fill almost every broadcast minute available. Repetitively, endlessly, sensationally. Mindless discussions, analyses and special reports on nothing more than...

On my old Mac desk system, which I haven't used for years, I have some sort of program that automatically backs up my internal hard disk to an outboard hard disk whenever I log off. I am considering getting a new laptop (and probably getting rid of my desk system). I am confused as to my...

I am thinking of buying a new laptop. The Mac models I am considering offer either a CD/DVD slot or a CD/RW slot. There is no CD/DVD/RW combo offering. I have never watched a DVD or burned a CD. I have had my firm burn CDs for me a few times (at the office) so I would have a backup of...

Recent news stories report that people are still getting on planes with pocket knives, razors, leatherman implements and even boxcutters. Even with truly improved airport screening, I bet a determined terrorist could get some sort of slicing device onto an airplane. Wouldn't it be a more...

Yesterday, Harv was made a Star Member. Muhammad can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Harv is the first member to achieve this distinction since the rules were changed to base Star Membership on overall contributions rather than just an arbitrary number of posts. By this or any...

I have heard talking heads sometimes referring to Afghans, Pakistanis and Turks as Arabs. My understanding is that these three groups are not Arabs. All Muslims are not Arabs, are they? But are all Arabs Muslims? I don't think so. What is an Arab?

The object of this thread is to post information about this obscure country that we seem likely to attack. This article is from CNN: <font color=blue>Soviet Union's Afghan lessons September 18, 2001 Posted: 9:07 AM EDT (1307 GMT) Leo Korolkov says modern weapons against the Afghans are...

I'd say yes and no. It certainly will be much worse in terms of total casualties. There were about 2,500 in PH; I expect there could be more than 20,000 at the WTC. It's also worse because the victims were all civilians, not military personnel. Even the Japanese didn't bomb downtown...

I've spent the last 3 days cutting heavy brush and having the woody spears win quite a few rounds. I noticed today that my left brake just sags to the floor. No pressure in it. The right brake works. When I clip them together I seem to have a braking effect on both wheels, not just on the...

I was told by a dealer today that there currently is an $800 factory rebate on Grand L tractors and a $150 rebate on the loaders, for a total of $950 in rebates. He also said the rebates and the Kubota finance charges would change tomorrow! He didnt know what the changes would be, however.

Let's face it. We here really don't do much if any tractoring. We mainly just sit here at computers and type stuff about tractoring that we learned from other website junkies who don't do any tractoring. I mean, the proof is in the pudding: our tractor webmaster guru and leading tractor...

As part of our continuing education on tire options, I thought it might be informative to collect info on how frequently we have gotten a flat tire, which tire (front or back), what kind of tire (ag, turf, R4), and what caused it. I also think it would be informative to report no flats and what...

Several tabloids, including this forum, have disclosed the shocking fact that most of the people who claim the boxblade to be the super-implement actually spend thousands of hours a year manipulating their manual toplinks or, alternatively, spend thousands of hours and dollars trying to replace...

With all the action and discussion over top & tilt installation, I have become relatively convinced that a hydraulic toplink has several beneficial uses. But how useful, really, is a hydraulic tilt cylinder on one side of the 3ph? Frankly, in a year of tractoring, I have never tilted my hitch...

84\" Rear Finish Mower Is anyone running an 84" rear discharge 3ph finish mower? What brand? Any comments, likes, dislikes, or second thoughts?

Rumors are flying here and on CTB about the new JD 4010 series. Supposedly it will be available sometime between this fall and next summer. Reports from leaking dealers say that there will be 75 fixes to the 4000 series, possibly including a new hydro, improved pedals, factory T&T, quick...

People who want tractors with belly mowers are concerned about "maneverability" on their lawns. They want to know, as part of the buying decision, how well a given tractor/belly mower combination will mow around trees, bushes and other obstacles. Why don't all of us belly mowers collect...

I keep getting messages that my C drive is full and it is driving me nuts because I can't figure out what the heck is filling it up. I have an IBM laptop that is partitioned into a 2 gig C drive and a 2 gig D drive. I have no idea what partitioning is for, why it exists, or how to...

We have had a lot of good information on boxblade blades in the recent thread entitled "Yet Another Boxblade Question". There are also a lot of issues that I think it would be useful to discuss regarding the scarifiers. As I understand it, there are three types of scarifier set-ups. The...

It's been a while since we talked about foam filling for ballast. There is a new process from Arnco called SuperFlex, which supposedly retains the ride characteristics of air. Here is a site that describes it briefly: http://www.tocebrothers.com/flatproof.asp I need some ballast in front of...

From those of you who have installed top cylinders and tilt cylinders on the 2710 or 2910 tractors, would you mind repeating again: 1. What are the proper size cylinders? 2. Where did you get the cylinders? 3. Would I or would I not have to make the "Bird adjustments" to the cylinders to get...

Maybe I need a truck. Let's put it this way: I've gotten more and more involved over the past 12 months with tractoring and all its related projects, implements, materials, detritus and trips; and my primary load carrier is the back seat of my Mustang convertible. I've been creative, but it's...

We have several threads on the technicalities of adding 1, 2 or 3 hydraulic valve outlets. Before I consider doing this, I would like to get a survey (and pictures, if possible) of where people have put the 1,2 or 3 additional levers that are necessary to operate the valves. Tractors are all...

We often decide that the tires on our tractors are not aggressive enough. For example, we have turfs and we really need industrials (R4's), or we have R4's and we really need ags (R1's). This can happen when we realize we made a "mistake" when we bought our new tractor, or when we buy a used...

The brand-specific structure of TBN artifcially forces many questions and topics that are really of general interest into a brand-specific forum. Examples of topics that get forced into a brand forum when they are of generic interest are: how to negotiate the best price; what tires should I...

In a few weeks, when my son is home, I am going to build another bridge over my creek so I can get my tractor to my back 8 acres. The double-culvert bridge I built last fall has washed out several times, and I consider that approach to be a failure. I need some advice on how, in what shape...

Here is the website for the new Case DX series, which are red quasi-clones of part of the New Holland TC series: http://www.casecorp.com/agricultural/newequip/tractors/dx/index.html I say "part" because the DX's do not have an 18 or 21; they start at 25. I say "quasi" because I note at least...

I recently had the opportunity to compare and test screw-on forks against chain-on forks, literally side-by-side, on my Kubota B2910. Of the models I tested, the chain-on forks were clearly superior. I did this test with Robert Wolff of the Woodbury Tractor Company. This thread was intended...

Just took my dogs out for a nighttime tractor walk and the rattling of the loader joystick really began to bug me. When the FEL is off my 2910 the joystick has a lot of free play and just vibrates and rattles around in its housing. The rattling diminishes at higher rpm's, but I often like to...

It has been suggested to me that, within a reasonable range, the lift capacity of a loader can be increased by raising the relief valve setting. Does anyone have any experience or comments on this.

Belly Mowing with Grand L 3X10\'s Does anyone here belly mow with a 3010, 3410 or 3710? I just found out that the belly mowers on these tractors are incompatible with R4 tires. Seems like that would severely limit the market. But if any of you exist, I'd be interested in your evaluation of...

I could use some ideas as to how to use my tractor to re-grade the land abutting my creek to improve the drainage into the creek. Right now, the land slopes down from the level of the creek banks on both sides before it slopes up again. Therefore there are swales, or large shallow bowl...

I am extremely tool-challenged and would appreciate a brief explanation of these kinds of wrenches, which I know nothing about. My primary interest is having wrench of sufficient power to quickly get the blades off my 72" belly mower and brush cutter, and the wheel bolts off my tractor and...

Chalkley Tires--Michelin XM27\'s Mark, Welcome back. The Michelins come up in discussions periodically. Actually, I am currently thinking of upgrading to a larger tractor and one of my candidates is a 3710, which offers the same tire sizes as your 4310, so I assume the circumference...

I have finally found two uses for this contraption. For those of you reading this post by mistake, the 2910 has a cruise control lever next to the seat. It is really more than a cruise control. It is connected to the hydro pedal and is a manual hyro control that will stay in whatever hydro...

The premise of this thread is that, by the clear weight of objective functional capabilities and measurements, the JD 4300-4700's are notably superior to the Kubota 3010-4610's and the TC33-TC45's. I hope to elicit reasoned, objective rebuttals from proponents of Orange and Blue. Otherwise...

B7500 \"Narrow\" Saw this at dealer yesterday. I had never heard of it. Looks very strange. Like it would tip over very easily. Must be a pretty narrow market for this kind of machine.

The debate and indecision about traction tires vs. turf-friendly tires will go on until the heat death of the universe unless a new solution is invented. How about this. You get ags. But then there is a rubberized tread that you can put on over the ag tires themselves. Like chains, but a...

Having recently returned from a several month absence from TBN, I have noticed that Thomas is absent. His profile indicates he has not posted since 4/17. Does anyone know anything? I hope he's just enjoying that Maxwell House he always had brewing.

1. The classifieds should be divided between dealer classifieds and private classifieds. 2. Is the tiltmeter blurb a paid-for ad? 3. Are the Other Featured Links paid-for ads? 4. I really apprecialte the beef jerky site. Food of the gods. 5. Does the lawn mowing vote apply only to...

What tire is best for boggy ground? By that I mean ground that can vary from moist soil (in dry times) to moist/muddy (in average times) to covered with a few inches of water (in wetter times). I am not concerned in the question about whether the tire leaves tracks or imprints. The concern...

72\" Belly Mowers for JD 4000 and Kubota 3X10 I am interested in the design and the ease of attach/detach on the 72" belly mowers that go on both the Kubota L3X10's and on the JD 4300/4400. Are there rotating guage wheels on all 4 corners of the decks, so that you can easily roll the deck...

As we know, Case/IH/NH has come out with a line of tractors under the Case name that are NH Boomers painted red. Do you think there is anything to the rumour that Kubota is forming a subsidiary, giving it an American name, and marketing its Grand L and larger tractors painted green?

In the many discussions on the merits of a frame mount vs. a 3ph mount for a backhoe, it is often stated that the 3ph mount can break the "frame" or the "back" or the "rear end" of the tractor. While I intuitively believe that a frame mount has somewhat more structural integrity, I stongly...

When you mow with a side discharge mower, you can either discharge the cut clippings into the grass you've already mowed or into the grass you've yet to mow. What's best? Surely there is an established answer to this, but I don't know it. I can make arguments both ways and end up in cerebral...

Many times I never think about the commonest things. Now I'm thinking about about what's wrong, if anything, with mowing with the discharge chute of a side discharge mower in the up postition. I never thought about discharge chutes when I used a lawnmower. I always left the chute flap down in...

Having some experience under my belt, I am even more convinced now than I was when I began looking at tractors a year ago that the design of compact tractors, for us weekend diggers as opposed to real farmers, is all wrong. It is a design that has devolved, in an anti-Darwinian fashion, from a...

We never tire of wondering which is the right tire--R1 ags, R3 turfs, R4 industrials or bar turfs. We wonder about this before we buy the tractor, and also long after. The problem with asking for advice on this subject is that no one on these forums is likely to have tried all three or four...

I have a Kubota B2910 and use a 72" belly mower. My questions relate to the compatibility between a subframe or 3ph mounted backhoe with the attachment and operation of the belly mower. Specifically: 1. With a subframe backhoe installed on the tractor, can the belly mower also be installed on...

Muhammad, why are the messages in the Brush Cutting Armor thread a million miles wide, especially in flat mode. It happened when I posted a very long url address.

Fun and dangerous. That's what brushhogging is. I need some recommendations for protective dress for me and the tractor. I have spent several hours now brushhogging across my creek in impenetrable brush and brambles. Broke the tractor today doing it. Branches and stickers constantly sweep...

Among other tractor disasters today, the parking brake on my 2910 broke. It was always difficult to engage -- half the time it wouldn't seem to "catch". Now it won't catch at all; the lever just flops up and down, engaging nothing. Since the ignition key is the extent of my technical tractor...

I agree that maximum cerebral power must be focused on the installation of a useful cupholder, the most important attachment for any tractor -- indeed, for any vehicle. The Chalkley Cup is apparently functional and particularly appealing to genetically-endowed gadgeteers. However, it is rapidly...

When you are talking to us here on Tractorbynet, I mean. I am in one of two places. Right now, I am in my office in Hartford, CT. I am on the 22d floor of an office building. I only use an IBM 570 laptop. It is on my credenza, which is right below a large window. So if I lift up my eyes, I see...

My wife thinks I should take my cell phone with me on my tractor so I can call someone if something were to happen to me. At first I thought that would be silly, but I think I've changed my mind. I am all alone when I tractor. My wife is frequently away from home and there is no one else...

What\'s With Tractor Wheel Sizes Why the schizophrenia in the way tractor wheels are sized and placed? I was looking at an old Oliver at a dealer. The front wheels were miniature and only about 6 inches apart. They also seemed to be toed-in and cambered to an extreme degree. Right next to it...

Since we have been discussing boxblades on other threads, I noticed that there are different designs. Two questions: 1. What are the performance and usage differences between a standard boxblade and a rollover design. 2. On the regular boxblade design, what are the performance and usage...

Are boxblades generally useful in the soil conditions in your part of the country and for what kind of jobs? These questions are floating around in some recent threads, so I thought I would centralize them into one. Posters are reporting that dealers in their part of the country advise against...

That's a paraphrase of a line I read in a history book about 25 years ago, in which the author was discussing the reasons why farmers migrated from New England to the midwest. He did not just mean that the ground is rocky--but that rocks actually grow out of the ground and get bigger and bigger...

Have you ever been your car but your mind and muscles thought you were on your tractor. I drove my tractor about 20 hours over the past three days. When I pulled my car into my parking garage at work today, I was coasting to a slow stop in the parking space. Instead of stepping on the car...

Yeehah...I\'m in Brush Hog Heaven! Brush hogging is the ginchiest thing yet. Just finished three full work days with my new 2910. Two days of bucket work removing rock and making a huge mess in the mud. There is sure a lot more to lifting rocks with your bucket than lifting rocks with your...

If you can rope a bull, why not a FEL. There is much disussion here about lifting things with a FEL with chains. There is even a very lengthy discussion of what kind of hooks to use for the chains and where to place them. What's wrong with ropes (or straps)? Sailors and mountaineers entrust...

I need to bridge a creek to get to get to 8 acres of my land (the working of which being a justification for my recent B2910 purchase). The creek meanders through flat land, composed of soft soil. It is like a wetland. The channel is about 3 to 3 1/2 feet deep and the width varies from 6 to 10...

Why Aren\'t PTO\'s Hydraulic? Why have we been shafted instead of oiled? It seems that hydraulics power all the heavy lifting attachments: buckets, hoes, blades, cranes, derricks, etc. So, why aren't tractors designed to transfer power from rear and mid PTO's via hydraulics instead of rotating...

From a safety perspective, when ascending and descending steep hills is it safer to face uphill or downhill? There was a thread on the CTB forum that discussed this called "Flipping Tractors". There was discussion of centers of gravity, traction, back-over-front flip potential, front-over-back...

While testing B series today, I recalled some discussion here and on CTB to the effect that you couldn't brake steer a Kubota HST. This was because the brakes are on the wrong side, and that's why Deere's are better. Something like that. Well, maybe I dont understand brake steering, but I did...

I'm depressed. After hundreds of hours researching tractors, visiting dealers in three states, getting internet quotes, reading (nay, memorizing) this forum and the CTB, narrowing down my choices to Kubota, suffering severe pre-purchase analysis paralysis, deciding on a BX, and then laboriously...

Does anyone have experience with a rotary brush cutter on their BX. The owner's manual specifies no more than a 42" cutter weighing no more than 300lbs. For those who don't know BX's, the limiting factors seem to be that the hitch arms are physically shorter and less spreadable than regular...
