I have M6800 Kubota for over 20 years and it seems to use Ag Type connectors for all hydraulic fittings as do my Drill (planter), Post Driver, and hydraulic top link on Kubota M6800. I recently purchased new TYM T-1104 and all hydraulic fittings are similar but different and will not fit. Of...

Today I took delivery of a new TYM T1104 Tractor & TX110 Loader and would like to be a contributor in this forum. Unfortunately there are many unknowns for me, but I guess I will struggle for a while. This is an upgrade to my 22 year old Kubota M6800 which has served me well.

My open M6800 is in good shape and only 21 years old, but I plan to upgrade from 68 hp to 111 hp with an a/c cab. I really want a new Tier 4 (like I have a choice) tractor with a good loader. Choices seem to me to be: 1) Kubota M6-111 2) Kioti PX-1153PC 3) TYM T-1104 I would like to do all...

Really undecided which tractor to buy. Upgrading from Kubota M6800SD/LA1002 (8000#) open station in January 2021. Prefer approx 80-110 hp tractor weighing about 10,000 pounds or more with a/c cab with loader lift height of approx 12 feet and 3500# capacity with forks or bale spear. Prefer...

I finally bought a no-till drill. I got it home last Saturday and planted 15 acres for winter grazing over a coastal bermuda field. After using it a couple of days, I had to make a few small changes to the drill. First things first, it worked as expected even though the clay soil was...

The dealer installed the loader a long time ago and it has always worked well, but when I was replacing all the loader hoses, I noticed that the diagrams in the LA1002 loader operators manual for the installation is different than the way my Kubota was delivered to me when new. First I...

My M6800 4WD Kubota was purchased new in 2000 with LA1002 Loader. This has been a bad year for hydraulic hoses and I have replaced 5 of them, but now I need to replace the three (four) hoses going to the loader control from the tractor. They route through a sheath that is anchored to the...

I am trying to decide which sprayer to buy, but it is confusing as there are so many tradeoffs. Primary use is on 10 acres of Coastal, but my Dad also has 150 acres a couple of hours from here and does not have a sprayer. 60 gallon PTO sprayers are less expensive and have a short boom (10 foot...

When I first built this fence, I used a rust converter that went on clear (or white) and dried to a black color over a few days originally and then put a second coat of acrylic green paint over that. That seemed to work well. After about 5 years, the rust is coming through the paint heavy at...

While helping my son build a fence with only corners and H's set in concrete and the remainder a T Post fence, wound up using the tractor to stretch 300 feet of no-climb 5 ft horse wire. Really worked well. Then used it to stretch a 400 foot run. Stretched banjo tight and tied off to the...

When I was looking to buy a new tractor, the reliability of the tractor was a real issue for me, but little data seemed to be available. I believe in self-sufficiency and hate to have to rely on a dealership to fix or service anything that I own. When my old Massey broke (and I literally mean...

I am getting ready to put in some cross-fencing and want it to be able to hold minature goats and livestock. The perimeter fence is 2 3/8 pipe fencing with a single top rail and then 5 ft 2x4 no climb horse wire. Bought about 1000 feet of 2x4 3 ft no climb and had planned to use it for the...

As part of the purchase price of the M6800 the dealer included performing the 50 hr maintenance including pickup and delivery. I decided that I wanted to do it myself, so they furnished all the fluids and filters. The M6800SD is a 2000 Model 68HP 4WD tractor with a standard Synchronized Gear...

It has become bug time in Central Texas. The instructions on most bug chemicals are confusing at best and unclear at the worst. I spray Diazion from a water hose spray bottle the area within 30 feet of the house and on the porches and on the first 4 ft of outside walls. I hunted for a...

This thread was started by ejb and moved to a new topic. I meant to put it in attachments, but obviously didn't do it. "Whats your opinion of 3pt backhoes? Is there any reason, besides the money of course, that you wouldn't want one? I know we have similar sized tractors (JD 5410), and I have...

Would it ever be nice to have a back hoe! I used an 8 ft rear blade to dig ditches beside the gravel drive. Most of the ditches had filled up with silt or were not deep enough to start with and some were just needed to control run off water. I put the blade facing the direction of tractor...

Well today I ordered a Hydraulic top link from the local Kubota Dealer. It will be here next week. The boxblade that I bought is a Gannon. It replaced a 6 ft Rhino, that I never was able to use very well. The Gannon is only slightly wider at 76 inches. The box blade is really made well from...

The Kubota dealer gave me 2 oil analysis kits to fill and send it. I guess one is for the drained engine oil and the other is for the drained hydraulic fluid. Will this analysis yield whether it is UDT or Super UDT? Will the oil tell whether it is 15W40 or a single weight oil? Any idea how...

After paying $110 for a complete workshop manual for the M6800S, I noticed that one of the difference in the workshop manual supplement (but not in the owners manual) was that Only Super UDT was shown for transmission oil - and it said it came from the factory with Super UDT. Since I just...

Since Texas finally got some rain - unfortunately all at once, most of my driveway is in the ditches or the highway. It is now time for rebuilding. I sold my old box blade and am waiting to get another one. The county road behind my house was simply leveled, then very small rock/gravel put on...

The first year on our rural property, I replace 13 mailboxes that had been damaged. The post master was sympathetic but could not do anything about it. I finally put up a composite mailbox that was supossed to resist vandalism. It last for less than a month. They tore it up twice. Finally...

Since the change today, I was getting NEW flags on a lot of messages. I logged back in and that fixed most of that problem. Now, when I use the INDEX to leave a forum topic, the NEW message no longer dissapears as it did. Using Main Index seems to make the NEW tag go away ok from the Forum...

Found a natural product called NOLO BAIT that is to be applied at the rate of 5 tsp/100 sq ft. Comes in 1 lb can and costs about $17. Now that would cover about 2000 sq ft per can or $340 per acre. WOW. Guess I better hope it works for the garden - well maybe for a few rows of corn...

We want to get some good breeding stock for Nigerian Goats. Has anyone seen a good book on goats? My sister in law also said she had seen some goats with no ears. Never heard of goats with no ears, and they might look funny and not hear very well. Has anyone seen one like that? I have...

My dad is using a Metal Post Driver that hooks up to the three point and hydraulics. It is really heavy duty and drives a 4 inch steel post about 4 inches everytime it comes down. Has anyone seen a driver like this that works on T posts. I will set the big posts in concrete if it costs more...

I bought a cheap sandblaster which is just a plastic bucket that comes to a point at the bottom where the hose fastens on. The hose goes to the blast gun and the air compressor hooks up here. My compressor is only about 6 SCFM. I filled the bucket with white brick sand, but it works about as...

I still cannot figure out what causes the random logoff. Really bugs me as I test software for a living, and this one has me stumped. Does anyone else have a clue? I have noticed it when I go to respond to a message, but if you select who's online, it says that you are - so sounds like one...

Kinda hard to consider this an accessory, but didn't know what other topic to put it in. See comments on leak down of the three point on different tractors and wondered if that is ever a problem on your tractor. Massey Ferguson 245. The 3 point leaks down all the way in about 10 seconds...

Seems to be a big difference between manufacturers on what is considered normal for Loader leak down time. First - all loaders leak down because as Mark said "all seals are not perfect in the cylinders or hydraulic control valves." That being said, most of the leak down seems to be more a...

Wondered what experience others had with tires on their tractors. My last tractor was only 18 years old and had about 90% tread on one tire and 75% on the other. Hour meter was 840 hours. I assume they were original tires, although looks like the wear should have been a little more even...

Finally found something that my Kubota tractor can't do - mow in small rocky area around outbuildings. Also noticed that Bird said he had one. How well do these High Wheel trimmers work. They look like a big two wheel lawnmower but have a 5 HP or 6 HP string trimmer (looks like extra large...

Now That\'s a Fertilizer Spreader! Today I went to the feed store and purchased a fertilizer blend 15-15-15. The fertilizer spreader was free with the purchase and had to be returned by the next morning. The spreader was a tandum weighing about 2000# with 1500# fertilizer for a total of...

Does anyone keep up with their diesel consumption? Is there much variation? My previous tractor was a Massey 245 with 39 pto hp. It averaged about 1 gallon per hour at PTO speed and had a 9 gallon tank. My new tractor is a Kubota M6800SD with 62 pto hp. It also averages about 1 gallon per...

Started this thread to answer Gordon's comments concerning M Series Kubota Tractors. The M4700 was replaced this year with the M4900. The differences are significant. The large "compact" and medium utility tractors in this line are quite similar including the M4900, M5700, and M6800SD. They...

My Kubota is really quite, even at full throttle. Unfortunately I agreed with the dealer and he cut off the vertical exhaust and put on one of the flapper covers that opens when you start the tractor and closes when you shut it off. It does that job very well, but it rattles and the rattle...

I came across a really neat attachment for maintaining my gravel driveway called a GradeMaster. As soon as I get the money I am going to get one. The six foot model looks like it is about 6 ft x 6 ft x 1 foot high, looks rugged and hooks up to the 3 point. It has two cutting blades set at an...

I found a local recyler in the Ft. Worth Metroplex that advertises Compost for $8 a yard with free delivery for 20 yards. They said it contained ground up gypsum, wood, pine, paper, manure and I am sure anthing else organic that they have to recycle. I ordered 20 yards to see if it would...

For the North Central Texas area are the pasture grasses called Coastal (sprigs) or Giant Burmuda (seeds) similar. It is getting to the last of the sprigging season (last of April) and just beginning time for seeding Burmuda (soil temp of 65 degrees). I have just tilled 7 acres to plant the...

I just finished tilling about 7 acres of barely moist dry Texas dirt with quite a few rocks scattered in (and some not so scattered). Just counted that I started out with 32 tines on the tiller and now it only has 18. Didn't normally lift the tiller when turning and probably set it down pretty...

The subject seems pretty easy, but apparently it is not. I have a lot of rock on my place and would really like to be able to fence without it becoming such a time consuming effort. I saw a solution today, but as usual it costs too much. This guy had just bought the BELLTEC hydraulic digger...
