    Modification to reduce gravel ingestion on SnowBlower

    I have searched for this but not finding the definitive answer. I have a new snowblower that I have now had the opportunity to use. Most of my clearing is on Gravel cover surfaces. My blower, a John Deere Frontier SB1174P, has some narrow adjustable skid shoes. It's early in the season and the...

    Pull type Hybrid snowblowers ?

    That makes sense. The first information I encountered on this blower, it was orange and on a Kubota. I read later that this blower was only available in Canada until I found the same blower in Green from John Deere. Paid just over $7,700 with hydraulic shoot and deflector, setup and sales tax...

    Flail Mower Let's talk flail mowers

    Just wanted to say a few words about my WoodMaxx FM-78H Flail Mower I purchased a few months back. I have been very pleased with this mower. As others have said it's rugged and willing to take abuse, built like a tank. I got mine with the Y-blades and am glad I did. I figured that you cut...

    Pull type Hybrid snowblowers ?

    I have done a bit more research on the two blowers. Called dealers and got some pricing info. The John Deere is surprisingly less expensive than the land pride, about $3k less in fact. The land Pride weighs 330 lbs more and looks to have a bit larger fan and auger. I am leaning towards the JD...

    Grand L suspension seat fix

    Like others on the forum I too was unhappy with the way my stock seat collapsed when I sat upon the throne of my new L 5460 cab. I weigh 260 + and felt there must be something that can be done with the stock seat to increase its capacity. I removed The seat and the suspension base to have a...

    Re-blow with pull behind snowblower.

    Snow pusher eh. I was wanting a hydraulic angle front blade for moving snow off to the side. Snow pusher is straight forward only, at least the ones I have seen online. Thats why I haven’t considered one. I had been dealing with the snow on my B26 with the FEL and a rear manually angled blade...

    Re-blow with pull behind snowblower.

    No, I’m thinking about the opposite. Driving forward with a pull type blower behind me blowing the snow 20 or 30 feet directly back, over the row I just cut. Then pickup the blower, backup and repeat until the snow is launched over the fence at the end of the row. This would probably work better...

    Re-blow with pull behind snowblower.

    After a winter for the record books which isn‘t over yet, I am beefing up my snow fighting equipment. Primarily I am concerned about removing snow at my mini-storage facility. This means clearing the entrance road, parking area and between rows of buildings. I have 5 acres here to deal with as...

    Which type of Flail Mower to choose

    I have decided I want a Flail Mower to use behind my Kubota L5460. I am looking at both the Side Shift and the Ditch Bank Mower types. The property I am maintaining is 7 acres of 90% flat open ground but there are some areas where I have a ditch and bank situation that tend to get overgrown...

    Shipping a tractor

    The shipping distance for this is 1700 miles. Even at $2 a mile that's pretty steep. I may just go pick it up myself but of course my current trailer is a tad under rated for the load. I have a 7,000 trailer and the tractor with loader weighs in at 6200. Guess I will need a new trailer but I...

    Hi everyone, I have been enjoying this forum for several years and finally decided to join. Your input helped me make the decision to move up to a B26 Kubota. Hoping I can help someone else with my experiences on the BX23 and now the B26. Jim
