I have the edge tamers. Work like a charm for my needs. Its nice not to have to feather the bucket so much. Bought the ball mount a extension too. All work fine for me.

We have a large dock with composite decking. We chose a lighter shade to help keep it cool. It works for us.

I replaced mine a good 15yrs ago. I did not find it really any harder but in fact probably easier than changing a clutch in a pick up or jeep. Be carefull how you support and separate the tractor. Think through each step ahead of time. Take your time.

In my old shop. I installed 2 x 8s on wall behind the pallet areas that were used often and that kept from poking holes in the wall.

I have two different clamp on types. Yes you must make sure they are very tight when clamped. This type works for me because I have almost level ground, trailers are usually empty. Have big pontoon, 20ft car hauler, 16fy box trailer, 5x8 utility. This type is conveinent for me. I have an L2500...

While this not a direct accessory..... My Couch!

I realize this changes the advantage of being a deck over but.... Could possibly narrow the deck to between the wheels and add fenders? Not sure how much room youll need for the steer tires. Just a thought.

Interesting topic. I dont have much experiece doing a large pour. But last year did a 10 x20 with ready mix. It was around the back of house and I hired 2 guys with a small pump trailer. My buddy and I did the final screed and bull float. The pump guys were well worth it. They even helped out...

I have never had my ducts cleaned in my old house of 25 yrs. But they did have dust in them when I sold the place. My current home has no ductwork. I do feel that cleaning ducts is worth it for the health issues. Not as important as keeping filters clean and you can probably vac the area around...

Generally everyone likes to keep the rear tires or the tractor pretty wide. But could you adjust the width of the rear tires of rhe tractor to a narrower spacing?

You may want to check into local building code. Based on relative height there can be anchorage or drainage requirements and railing or fence requirments. Perhaps others will comment.

Nice size lift! I have a 2 post 9000lb lift. I know I time positioning it to be effective for my uses. Leave enough room between the longest vehicle and your door. Watch out for overhead clearance alsio. Invest in some type of stablizer posts to be placed at each end of a long vehicle. A set if...

Some tires just can not be repaired. A picture or two will help the discussion.

Maybe someone has mentioned this already, but some trucking company will let you pic the item up at their dock. I see you mentioned you did not have a trailer but could rent a uhaul or rent a dump trailer the day of the pick up. Of course the terminal needs to be nearby. I would also check with...

So I have this home made log splitter. Its not fancy but gets the job done well for my needs. I would like a control valve that once you split thw log and move the lever to return the cylinder that you can let the lever go and it will continue to return. Is there such a valve out there? Not...

I carry my laptop in a padded back pack. Need for a dedicated case for it. But everyone is different as to how they use and care for things.

Some of those parts were probably dealer installed. But I wonder how much things were exposed to something during or before shiping. It does seem excessive. I assume the water you use to wash is PH balanced and your not using heavy chemical cleaner.

Whew! All this reading about weedwackin made me tired.....! I used cut high grasses on a steep bank at my old place. FS84 with string. Did a good job but took time. Moved and now have a little dewalt 20v. Use it 2 maybe three times a year. Id say let the stuff grow if you can! Be safe!!!

I say keep it. Too hard to replace. Lots of things sitting around that dont get used often are worth some money.... but we still keep alot of those things too. Nice to have the back up machine. A plow truck takes up more room and can come with hidden issues. You know what you have with the...

Check out E-conolight.com Very quality products at a good point. Warranty response is good also. I have used them for years for commercial projects. Oops.! I see plowhog mentioned them already.

I may have missed this amongst all the great ideas.... but A rockin sound system to listen to your favorite tunes!!!

Hit up your friends. Maybe they will chip in on a tub or two from your great purchase. I am thinking use some of the Mrs older tupperware for containers to take out of the shop. Have fun!

The label issue has me thinking..... so our yellow portable jugs would have to be labeled????? Good grief.

Dont know if this will help, but my tractor would loose power when brush hogging a steep hill. It was becausr the fuel level was low. The cure was adding fuel to the tank. I dont know the Ford fuel system but Id make sure to find all of the screens in the system and make sure they are clean...

Good to hear its fixed!

First neither one is perfect for all tasks. Think about what tasks you wish do to the vehicle or tractor or whatever you want on the lift. Then base your purchase from there. As for the concrete thickness. .. each lift manufacture should have the requirement in their installation manual. Look...

Does your tractor sit alot between use? Is it exposed to weather? I one the same machine. I would spray some PB blaster on the pivot points and rods that are outside of the case. Adjustment would be next. If I recall correctly there is an access door to the clutch on the clutch pedal side of...

Everything I have. Except not everything was available 25 yrs ago!

I run a 5ft woods brush hog with my L2500 and a 6ft finish mower. It handles them fine most of the time. If the growth is too thick then I need to slow down. They still will cut. Look up on the tractor data and see what your machine is rated to handle. I would stay with what is reccommended or...

So many points to consider....lol I owned 7 acrs for 25 years in Western PA. Snow levels would be different from year to year. Had concrete about 150ft and a gravel lane about 1/4 mile. No trees so if it was windy..... I would let a snow base build on the gravel drive if possible. I kept the...

Ill throw my 2 cents in on this one. ( I tend to over think things as well ) Assuming your ground water and surface drainge around this are is good then.... My concern would be the low point or the area of most fill having enough compaction and support over time. If its one corner consider...

Love the random set of eyes...lol And that literal stick figure that has those growths for hands and a head....lol... too funny!

I had it in a 32x40 pole building in western PA. What I learned. My builder did not insulate my slab well enough. Should have used something better than the double bubble wrap. Also should have insulated the perimeter 2 to 3 feet down with 2 inch foam board. Inside a ceiling should have been...

Rent a core drill and bit. A decent rental company will have them. Your plumber should know about core drills. Probably not the firt time they have had to drill concrete.

Has any one used the RIP and DIG yet? http://www.ratchetrake.com/images/rip_and_dig_brochure.pdf

Has anyone used Rust-oleum Deck Restore product on their wood deck trailers? I have a trailer that is a year old and am thinking of using it only on the top. Rust-Oleum Restore » Deck & Concrete Restore

Sometime in the future I may have to replace a retaining wall. So I thought I would start to study up on them now. Does anyone know of a site that is a good guide in the designing of a retaining wall?

Well I think I might have a clutch issue with my L2500... it has only 400 hrs on it. I moved it around this afternoon after clearing a ton of snow with the blade and loader. Yes I do alot of forward and back movements. Well it started grinding more to get into gear so I thought I would check...

I have a line on a a Dettson model 1085 SnowBlower 3 pt mount I was thinking about buying it and possibly making it a bit narrower if needed for my L2500 Does anyone know anything about the company? Are they still in business or was bought out and changed names? I know it might be a strech...

I am thinking of buying a set of chains for the tractor. Rear tire size is 11.2-24 Ag. What type of chains work best? What is a good price for them? Any good places to order from?

I was wondering if anyone has ever made thier own waste oil heater. I have seen a write-up from the Mother Earth News. Seems like a pretty good design. Anyone have any other info or designs on making one? Experiences? Or even have a source for an inexpensive unit that can be purchased?

Just curious how long does our clutches last in our fine Kubota tractors...I am sure this depends on type of use..so include that in your post. oh and if you have had it replaced.. how much ?

Ok Just installed a new Thermostat in the house. It is one of those programables. Now I notice that it is much more sensitive than my old one. Now my Furnace turns on more often for a short 'run' than it used to. Before it wold run for a longer time and have a longer down time. So, what are some...

My 3 point adjustment knob, located under the seat, will not turn any more. It seems to be stuck in one position. It will not turn either way. Any ides? This is on an L2500

I am curious if anyone has done any post-hole digging in the winter. The ground is really frozen right now but I am wondering if it is possible to auger in some holes with a three point 9" auger. I know it is odd but my buddy needs to bury his dog and well digging by hand does not sound too...

I know it is still winter but, looking to summer. Looking for opinions on the following units. Used 6' Woods RM360 ($500), New Woods 6' RD72($1750), New King Kutter 6'($1100). Will be used behind an L2500 I am hoping to eliminate my current garden tractor but am not sure if a rear finish...

I have an L2500 with about 150 hrs. I am experiencing a somewhat stuck throttle at times. It seems to be that the all the linkage is fine. It feels like the valvle? that the linkage controls is sticking some. Now it is only really a problem when using the foot throttle. If you pull back the...

Ok guys I could really use some help here. Took the L2500DT in for repair of the 3pt. Upon inspection we found that the piston the runs the lift arms is deepley scored. Of course this also took out the top-cover. What I need to knock down my cost is a source for used parts or a dealer to call...

How do I edit my profile? I am probably just missing how, but?

Please be careful using your winches. I met a fellow last weekend that told me this story. A man was guiding in a 1/2" winch cable onto the drum of a peice of equipment, when his hand got caught and it pulled him in throught the opening for the cable and around the drum. He was out of view from...

What is everyones preference and experience. side or rear discharge? off-set or not? mulching blades? 3.pt or belly? how many wheels? I am thinking of trying a 3pt. next spring.

I have an L2500. I have been using the backblade today quite a bit. After making a pass on my work I raised the blade and when the 3pt reached the top, it began to pulsate. I have plenty of fluid, I also tried to rasie and lower a few times. Dealer is closed. I treid to rasie and hold it at a...

Does anyone know where to buy one of these? About how much should they cost?

I was just quoted $330.oo for an EZ toothbar (light duty) from my local Kubota dealer. They buy it from H&H Sales in WI. I would be using it on an L2500 with a Woods FEL. Does anyone have any experience with this brand. It is a bolt in style.

I have an idea for a new page on TBN. I guess it would be a glossary page of sorts. I see many terms and abbreviations used within our posts. Then I see posts that a newcommer makes just to find out what a particular word or abbreviation means. So, i propose a page that could be refferenced by...

What size are the turf tires for an L2500 - built in 2000? How much should they cost? I have ags now and am considering turfs.

Question. I am trying to burn out the weld and tube on a DANA 44 axle housing where the plug welds are at the differential. I can not seem to get the metal hot enough to puddle. Any tips? Do I need a bigger tip on my torch?

I have a couple of banks that are too steep to mow. right now they have the usuall anything that grows there coverage. I would like to not have to weedwack them anymore. The soil is mostly clayish. Ground cover is an option I suppose but I would like a "finished look" while it grows. So. Should...

Has anyone ever built a 3pt. backhoe using Cadplans? I am thinking about one to use on my L2500.

Has anyone ever built a hoe or anything using Cadplans? I am kicking around the idea of a 3pt. hoe for my L2500.

Has anyone made an attachment for installing an underground dog fence? I need something to use on a FEL or 3pt or whatever. Looking for ideas and pictures. I was thinking that something could be made to bolt into the drain holes on my woods bucket.
