Same photo, plastered all over Facebook by "sponsored ad" under various fake entities. Same price too, varies around 25K. It's a big scam, don't respond, they want to take your money and you'll receiving nothing in return.

Again, thanks to all that responded. I looked over flails and they are not really designed for the type of work I need to do. I need something more aggressive so the plan is to obtain a Baumalight Brush Mulcher, and a higher horsepower (60hp) tractor. A dealer gave me a trade in quote for my...

That is the exact issue. I am cutting forestry trails with a lot of regenerative growth. I already had a forestry mulcher/track loader open the trail that I need to widen and maintain. However, at $4,000 a visit, I'd rather tackle the job and maintain the trails myself.

Carl, thank for the suggestion. However, I'm not too impressed with the finished product of the brush hog. I had a rotary cutter before, and it leaves a lot of stuff standing, and I am working forest trails, and it's adds 6 feet to the rear of the tractor, and that limits the ability to turn...

It's not width alone that is the issue, it's the combination of width and horsepower, specifically in a brush mulcher. I am looking at the Baumalight MP360, but with a 30-35 HP PTO it's limited to 2 - 2.5 inches of capacity.

Thanks everyone for the input. Really, searching around for available implements in a decent size for the tractor (6 foot - 72" inches). The choice is so limited, I am seriously considering trading up to a higher horsepower tractor. I purchased this tractor last year, and haven't put 15...

Hi, I am seeking opinions regarding a Flail mower with Hammers (CAT 1). Use is mainly to cut and maintain a perimeter trail around a 28 acre forestry parcel I own. The land is mainly flat, no rocks (on the NC coast). Small pine trees/weeds/etc are the main thing to be kept cut. My main...

I have a perimeter trail around my property I need to maintain. Last year, I contracted with someone to clear the property line with a Skid Steer and Forestry Mulching Head. Now, it's beginning to grow back from the sides. I ran across this cutter that can be front end loader mounted that may...

Thanks to all for the input. I checked out some videos of the Wicked Tooth Bar, and it may be a better fit for my application. So going with that one.

That bar looks very familiar, it's very consistent with what I had years ago. Thanks

What's everyone experience with the latest bolt on Tooth Bars? Searching for a tooth bar for a new tractor. I had a great tooth bar on my last tractor using a Kubota light duty bucket I never lost a tooth off the bar or damaged my bucket. Lots of hard use and rocks. However, I can't recall...

I know how you feel. In 2005, I purchased my first new tractor, a Kubota L3430 CAB with FEL/LD bucket, cost at the time was about $28K. We ended up selling our house/property in 2018, and moved, sold all the equipment. Fast forward, we have acquired some undeveloped wooded land that we want to...

A lot of good information and that gave me plenty to think about. I appreciate everyone's input. After reading all the comments, I sat down and went though how I would likely use the tractor and how much HP I would actually need. As someone noted, guys with 30 hp tractors always wish they had...

Thanks for all the input. First why the L/MX rather than the M. I would like a cab tractor with HST. Simply, the M with the cab and FEL is a bit higher than I have budgeted, and it also does not offer the HST. I reviewed a few comparison videos of the Grand L and MX, it seems to be the same...

I found that video last night good information. Messicks is great. I would purchase my parts from them. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry I didn't respond back sooner. In case anyone was interested. Someone bought the wrong battery with the poles reversed, made everything run backwards, except the engine and gator ran and drove fine. No damage whatsoeverr.

Hi All, I'm in a position where I need a tractor again to use on some acreage I've acquired. Previously, I owned a Kubota Grand L Cab Tractor 34hp (L3430). I purchased that one new around 2005 and sold it in 2018, when I moved from my previous home that had acreage. I learned a few lessons...

Hi Y'all. Quick question, does anyone know for certain, whether a 2006 Gator LX would have a positive ground system. We picked up a Gator, and noticed some peculiar things, the bed and winch controls run backwards. The battery is low. I was going to put it on charge, and noticed the red wires...

I am selling my tractor, a Kubota L3430 Grand Cab, with the LA 723 Loader. A prospective purchaser, is concerned whether the tractor/loader is capable enough to handle big bales of hay, 5.5' by 6'. It has the quick attach, so he would use that type of spear, rather than one that extends the...

I am preparing to sell my houses and land in Northern Virginia, and am moving where I won't need my tractor. So I am thinking about pricing to sell my tractor and implements as a package. What I have is a 2005 Kubota L3430 Grand Cab; 345 hours; LA723 Loader/Quick Attach; and Quick Attach...

My brother and sister-in-law are moving into an old farm house I own. For his first tractor my BIL is set on getting a John Deere subcut (2305 or 2320?) with a MMM for mowing and other chores, and indicated that he wanted me to help him negotiate the purchase. I usually buy Kubota equipment...

I noticed that most of the day I can't access the main page for Tractorbynet.com. When I enter www.tractorbynet.com, as the URL I get directed to Rydia.net. Anybody else having this problem?

Earlier this year, I tilled up about a 1/4 acre in one of my fields for a garden. Since this was our first year with this garden we planted a little bit of eveything just to see how it would do. However, the weeds (the locals call it red root) and grass are trying to reclaim this area. I am...

I just purchased a new King Kutter rotary cutter. However, the cutter seems to be out of balance, vibrating excessively while in use. The blades swing free, so I assume the blades are probably just out of balance. What is the best way to balance the blades? Jim

I am going to purchase a 3pt tiller in the next few weeks. I am going to get either a Befco 50" offset tiller or King Kutter II 72" tiller. I like the King Kutter over the Befco because of the width, however, I am not sure if my tractor has enough power to run the larger 72" King Kutter. I...

I have about 3 acres of field I have to cut this summer. Is it better to cut this area (see photo) with a rotary cutter or a finish mower? Jim

I discovered that my new (5.1 Hours), L3430 had a fuel leak. A hose on the engine either came disconnected for some reason, or the tractor was delivered this way. I haven't purchased a service manual or parts book yet. Can anyone on TBN identify the part in the photo. Fuel Leak I...

I recently purchased a new L3430HSTC (4 hours as of today). I upgraded the tires to the R-4 industrials. However, I noticed that the sidewall rubber on one of the front tires is beginning to seperate. The front tires are made by Titan??? but the rear tires are made by Firestone. I contacted...

Hi TBN, I finally got around to shooting some photos of my new Kubota L3430 HSTC. Thanks to all the posters who directly and indirectly guided me to decide on this tractor. I'm sure I made the right choice. Don't mind the photo of my wife's Kubota ZG23, I just didn't want the Zero Turn to...

I am sure this question has been discussed and answered on TBN, but my search did not find any results. Are the ball joints on the three point hitch (end links) supposed to be lubricated, and if so what type of lubricant? Jim

Hello TBN'rs, After purchasing a Kubota BX-23 based upon the input on this board, and then obtaining additional acreage, I quickly realized that my needs have out grown the capacity of the BX-23. So now I have started the quest of selling the BX-23 and purchasing a larger tractor. At first I...

Hello fellow TBN'rs, I finally got some seat time this past weekend using the BX23's backhoe to remove seven 25' to 35' foot locus trees from my property. Getting a site ready to put in a new home for the BX23 (barn/shed). Sorry, but I forgot the camera. Anyway, when I attempted to reinstall...

I was thinking about putting a canopy on my BX-23 before spring gets here. Does anyone have any experience with canopies on a Kubota BX Tractor? My dealer indicated that Kubota offers a canopy for about $375.00, but he didn't have one on a tractor that I could physically inspect. I checked a...

I received a quote of $16,800 for a new BX 23 with a 60 inch cutting deck. Is this a decent price? I am supposed to finalize the deal on Thursday. Thanks for any input. Jim ab4d@aol.com
