We just happen to be in that narrow swath where it will be a total solar eclipse and I hope that people heed the warnings about wearing the special (free) eclipse glasses so they don't burn their retina's. Just because the sun will be totally blocked off for a short time, the sun's corona will...

My Racor is working just fine. I'm getting a tiny bit of debris in the bottom bowl, nothing in the engine mounted fuel filter and zero restriction in the engine mounted spin on filter as well. Great investment far as I'm concerned, All the late model common rail ECM equipped Kubota's now...

Amazon home / farm delivery is getting worse and worse or at least around here it is. Last package I ordered from them the shipping notice said delivered and I signed for it. Was not even home and the package was tossed in the front yard. Time before that. the delivery person (Amazon driver)...

Had a good year so far and I need to expand my shop capabilities as presently I'm subbing out all the waterjet and plasma cutting and I want to bring it into house. Been looking at Lincoln Torch Mate, Shop Saber and Plasma Cam as well as Armanda. I want some torch flexibility (as in a hand...

real tired of getting poked by tree branches when mowing with my CC M60 tank so I'm buying a used F20 from my Kubota dealer. It was used at the county fair grounds and I'm having my dealer go through it. He actually has 2 used ones on his lot but won't sell them to anyone because they both...

Sold my Hypertherm CNC 60 amp plasma cutter and bought a Titanium 60 amp CNC interface plasma cutter. I did that because the Hyper Therm consumables are stupid expensive (and getting even more expensive), while the HF Titanium consumables are much more reasonably priced. Besides, the Titanium...

Been contemplating a Mag drill for some time now but I really don't want to purchase a Hougen or a Milwaukee because of the high cost. Are the Mag drills on Amazon (import) any good? Going to buy a set of carbide tipped annular cutters as well. Recommendations would be appreciated.

Just purchased 3 2.5 gallon jugs of 15-40 Rotella T6 (I have to change the oil in my M9's, it's season end, something I do every year plus Kubota OEM filters. Anyway, 3 2.5 gallon jugs of oil came to almost $195 bucks and the filters from my dealer were 20 bucks each. Woozer.

Seems like every time a poster posts a picture of their tractors, they are always filthy. Myself, I'd be offended to post a picture of mine (remember, I have more than one) being dirty, you won't find mine dirty unless I just came in from the field and last thing I do is wash them I cringe...

...and I thought and have observed the asking (and getting) prices on pre Tier 4 Kubota's was high. Guess everything Pre Tier 4 is commanding high prices as well. I was just offered and took 35 thousand for my 1997 Ford F350 long bed, 4 door pickup truck. Just turned 100K and has always been...

She purchased a GS850 side by side and there has been a number of recalls on it. I don't have a lot of hours or miles on it and it's been at the dealer's 3 times now for issues. First time was the horrible gas pedal. Kubota mounts it in such a way that it's hard to keep your foot on it while...

Had the co-op do the big ones and I did the smaller ones myself. Took a gander at the alfalfa this afternoon, going to town. I was going to apply granulated (clay coated prill's) but went with 28 liquid because it cost less. Nice thing about 28 liquid is it's foliar uptake. This fall, I'll...

Switching over to DEF, the cheapest I can find. DEF is 65% Urea and the balance is deionized water so I'll be cutting it by a third and spraying it on my hayfields. 46 granulated locally is pushing 50 bucks a sack. Walmart sells 2.5 gallons of their brand of DEF for 10 bucks. It's a no...

Just bought my second Echo, a 590 Timber Wolf. Have not even started it yet. Planning on doing the billet muffler mod, offset key and foam air filter first. Got it with a 20" bar and an extra loop of saw chain. Sold the Stihl MS 290 (20 ' bar) to the guy that cuts my trees with his bucket...

While not made at home, who offers the best real cream cheese New York style cheesecake? My vote is for David's in Manhattan, New York. They are a certified Kosher bakery and their cheese cake is to die for. They offer 2 day guaranteed delivery (via UPS) and they come carefully packed in a...

With the amount of saw chains I'm getting to grind, I thought it would be advantageous to purchase another chain grinder just to set the Rakers. I have at least 50 loops in the shop with more coming in) to grind presently and an equal amount of chipper knives to grind as well (mostly Bandit...

I'm in need of a 3 point stump grinder as I have at least 30 stumps to grind out so I got on Tractor House and perused the auctions and found (what appeared to be a Worksaver 3 point stump grinder for auction in Missouri and bid on it (and got it). Stated in the blurb that it need a new gearbox...

Nothing against hand filing at all other than it's time consuming and dull cutters really take time to get sharp. I have a Timberline clamp on the bar tooth sharpener as well (that I'm giving away now). The Oregon grinder isn't a cheap date ($209.00 on Amazon with free delivery) but it very...

Always an issue here. Pesky little rodents like to nest under the hoods and in the cabs of my tractors. I do use the bucket traps that work well but that don't stop them from building nests, only catches them when they go in search of food... Had not only wiring damage in the past but rodent...

This applies not only to small engines but gas tractors and motorcycles as well.. The EPA changed their requirement for corn alcohol in gasoline in certain states, effective in 2023. The states of Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, Nebraska. South Dakota and Wisconsin. Keep in mind that...

One that won't break the bank? I like the Fluke but it's almost 300 bucks. Find that to be a bit excessive and it don't come with the necessary measurement leads.

We got slammed with an ice storm last Wednesday and the power is out (and still is). Glad we have the diesel powered standby genset to run the farm but lots of folks aren't that lucky. I've burned through about 100 gallons of di9esel so far, it's the longest single run I've had on this genset...

They are raising their OEM parts prices in sync with inflation. Just had to buy a seal and 'o' ring for one of my M9's and the cost for a small seal and 'o' ring was $100 clams. I almost crapped my pants, with my discount factored in so if you require and OEM parts better buy them soon. Only...

Both in an unheated barn and it's -4 (f) here and both popped right off (10 second pre heat). The one has 6500 hours on it and the other 4500 hours. Blowing a little vapor but no smoke. Both are warming up on high idle to charge the batteries. I have not run either one for at least a month...

About time actually and it's not only them but everyone who sells a live front axle truck or SUV. I had a CJ years ago and it was just downright dangerous on the highway. Never again. My F350 Ford Super Duty required 2 steering dampers to tame it. 2 Skyjackers on the tie rod. I've read the...

What is the best and experience? I got a gallon of Red Armor. We have e-gas here and it's terrible. Not cheap but is it worth it???

I don't believe so but I could be wrong. I know Kubota don't for certain but what about other builders?

I financed the balance on my new Kubota Bailer last year and Kubota Credit consistently sends me a payment due notice (I pay every quarter) with zero days to pay. This time it states the payment notice was mailed on 12-31-22 but I didn't receive it until today and it's due 1-20-23 which gives...

Myself, we heat with biomass (pellet and corn stove) with propane as the backup fuel. Processed wood pellets and dried corn is much less expensive per realized BTU than propane or NG and especially less expensive than electric heating, but it comes with a price and that price is, the units have...

https://www.tractorhouse.com/blog/sandhills-news/2022/11/market-volatility-returns-in-october-as-auction-values-for-trucks-trailers-and-construction-equipment-resume-downward-trend Because I'm a buy-seller on the Sandhills site, I get their quarterly report as it pertains to what the market is...

And it's serious. Has to do with the steering shaft shearing away from the electric steering mechanism. WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, PLEASE IMMEDIATELY STOP USING THE AFFECTED MACHINES UNTIL THE UNIT HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND/OR REPAIRED, AS UNDER SOME CONDITIONS THE STEERING SHAFT CAN...

I'll start it off by saying we heat with propane (Bryant Plus 95) for the house and in floor PEX (propane fired hot water heater in the shop, but we also heat with 2 biomass stoves, one in the house and one in the shop. We burn primarily dried off grade seed corn (which I get for free) plus...

While quite unusual around here a beautiful red fox has taken up residence in an abandoned ground hog den under the pine trees on my rental property next door. been consuming apples from the nearby apple trees than have fallen on the ground, out there every morning eating away. Little worried...

Been contemplating them for a while now. I purchased aftermarket separators but bought the Racor R12T elements with Aquabloc and put them on the aftermarket bases. As expensive as off road diesel is today, the quality of the product can be questionable at times so I felt that additional 'fuel...

Was just talking to my Kubota technician as I've been considering installing Racor filter-separators on my M9000's to insure I don't get water in my fuel and he informed me that now Kubota is putting a version of the Racor's on the new common rail T4 final tractors from the factory. The common...

...and rebates / cash back on certain models.

Tried them both and personally, I like the McNaught coupler better. No lever to deal with and the barrel of the tool is a smaller diameter (just like a standard grease coupler) so it couples to recessed grease fittings whereas the LNL coupler won't. Kind of the same principle minus the lever...

I was looking at an new MX series with hydrostat drive and immediately noticed that Kubota got rid of the clunky 'treadle pedal' and replaced it with a much shorter 2 level cast aluminum pedal control that is 100% Drive by Wire. Never had a hydrostat but I've always not been impressed with the...

Tractor is in the shop for a valve adjustment and Dennis, my Kubota mechanic told me about them so I had him get me 6 of them. When I get the tractor back and the invoice, I'll list the part number and cost. Look just like scope caps for a rifle scope. Beats the stick in plugs and the over...

It's time to purchase a new roll cab tool box and upper as well. My ancient Waterloo double box has seen better days and I'm candidly out of room. I have one roll around just for SAE tools and another smaller one for Metric. Been looking at the Harbor Freight Icon and US General tool boxes as...

Been perusing high flow air compressor hose end fittings, Milton has them as well as some other makers, both domestic and offshore. The one thing I don't like about the Milton fittings is the plugs are aluminum so I went with the Winnsky brand. They are imported but the plugs are steel. Very...

Been told by various posters that they do not exist. Early Kubota tractors came with them but at some point in time, Kubota quit installing them. They do exist and you can get one (or more) from ANY Kubota dealer. I don't know if they will fit the late model plastic tanks, but they will fit...

Anyone besides me have one and if you do, are you impressed or not? I bought mine after the Torque Test channel on YT tested one. I remains at the top of their quite extensive chart for air powered impact wrenches. I also have an IR Thundergun but the Thor delivers almost 1/3 again as much...

Been waiting 2 months for it. Summit Racing was out of stock. Summit has the best price too. The Thor is the hardest hitting 1/2" drive impact wrench ever made. At 90 psi, it delivers 950 pounds feet of left hand torque and 800 of right hand torque. At 135 psi it delivers just over 1000...

Was just at my farm tire shop to have my wife's van tires rotated and the owner told me if I was considering buying new shoes for either of my Kubota M9000's, I'd better do it before January 1st, as tire prices across the board are increasing an average of 25% on all brands and that is a chunk...

Christmas dinner is a big deal in this house and the traditional dinner is Standing Rib Roast with mashed potatoes, carrots cooked with the roast, gravy, a vegetable (this year will be green beans and a salad. Standing rib from the freezer from the side I had butchered this fall, carrots...

Ordered one from Summit Racing almost 2 months ago. Supposed to be here in January 1oth. Hope it's worth the wait. Torque Test Channel rates the Thor the hardest hitting 1/2" drive air impact on the market today with almost 925 foot pounds of torque in left hand rotation and 700 in right...

I'm on another tractor related forum and a person posted they broke off their pto stub on a Kioti but never replied how. My question is how do you do that? In 30 years of farming, I've never broken one and I'm curious as to how it's done.

With a hydraulic chute rotator and adjustable skid shoes. Always kept inside. Cat 1 or 2 pins and hydraulic hoses included. Good condition, just serviced. $1000.00 obo Located in SW Michigan near Toledo and I can load it in your pickup truck or on your trailer. You'll need at least 30 pto...

Been agonizing over buying a new impact wrench, one with mega beans and the Torque channel formented my desire. Just ordered a Astro Pneumatic model 1984 Onyx Thor 1/2" air impact. It's the hardest hitting 1/2 drive impact made today. In reality is has 3/4 drive torque specs. Almost 1000...

Lots of snake oil additives out there to be purchased. Everything under the sun. Myself, I use Biocide in my diesel storage tank (Powerservice Bio-Kleen) and Powerservice winter and summer additives as well. I also use Archoil additives in my engines, especially the AR Nano-Borate oil...

Curious as I'm looking to replace my NH 450 Utility Net / twine bailer with a Kubota bailer. Curious about the in cab controls and the density adjustments.

Jumped 30 cents a gallon here today. I really appreciate the added burden of paying out huge sums to operate my car, let alone filling up my tractors with off road diesel and I'll be sure, like the good businessman /farmer I am, to pass that increased fuel cost on you, the consumer. Have a...

Besides me that is. Been using one for at least 20 years now for supplemental heat up here in the frozen north of Michigan. Burn pellets only through mid November and corn and pellets, November 15th (about) through March (about), depending on the weather, with propane as the backup (central...

Been using Seafoam GDI top end engine cleaner right along but I see there are others out there like CRC for instance. The issue with the newer GDI (gasoline direct injection) engines is, the intake tract is basically devoid of and gasoline (dry), so the intake valves receive no detergent in...

Seems to be getting worse, inconsiderate and distracted drivers taking unnecessary chances with farm equipment on the road today. Almost had an oops yesterday with a speeding driver while I was pulling out of my farm lane onto the dirt road in front of the farm, idiot coming at warp speed (way...

Guess we need a new HF tools that suck thread. Lets keep the politics out and the crappy tools in ok?:eek:

Always find it interesting that a thread will start out good, then degenerate into bashing, then to political bias and then finally the same old select group of posters get MC to close it. Always the same posters, always the same scenario. Post office thread started out with good intentions...

Huge blast at the port, levelled everything within a mile. I read 100 killed 3500 injured. All over my favorite fertilizer, Ammonium Nitrate. Read that there was 2500 tons of the stuff in bags stored in a building and it went off. Saw the video, looked like an atomic bomb blast. Building...

I see TNT is down again. Wonder if MC is tired of Gunslinger slinging everything but...? What a piece of work.:thumbdown:

Don't drop in often but I see it's down for some reason.

Not sure where to post this but, I've used a friend's DJI Mavic in the past to scout my fields but I was taken back by the price of admission but I see DJI has come out with a Mavic Mini for a descent price (under $500.00) complete with extra batteries, props, soft case and some other stuff...

Wife bought a new Kubota Sidekick side by side this summer. Dealer had to order one as she wanted it on Kubota Orange (is there any other color??))).. Anyway, we have had it 6 months now and no payment book. Asked my dealer about it, he said, 'on the way'. That was 4 months ago. No payment...

Like to get a good one, not for my tractors but for my car and I need some input as to what works and what don't. Lots to chose from so I'm pretty sure some are duds and some work as advertised. I have parasitic loss with my car so if I don't use it regularly, the battery gets weak.

Didn't hunt last year because of health reasons but this yer I will do some local (SE Michigan deer hunting). 2 years ago I bought a S&W 460 XVR Performance Center wheelgun but really haven't used it though I have loaded 50 or so 300 grain Hornady HP's in Starline brass with Federal Large Rifle...

Yesterday I filled the bed of the Sidekick with apples from our 3 apple trees and I only picked the 'low hanging' fruit. Today we processed them and yielded 20 gallons of fresh cider. Had just enough plastic jugs (distilled and spring water jugs). I put 9 gallons in the deep freeze, one in...

My wife was quite taken by the Kubota Sidekick UTV at out local fair and ordered one from the dealer I deal with. She wanted it road legal (you can road them here in Michigan with the correct equipment). She wanted one in Kubota orange of course. They come in Orange, Black and Camo. Signed...

Found out that Valvoline produces 100% of all Kubota branded fluids. Think I need to check out Valvoline's synthetic hydraulic AW42 fluid. I bet it's cheaper than the Kubota pail. In fact, I know it is. I use Kubota filters but with lubricants it's either Shell or Chevron.

Last cut of the season is looming for me. Looks like I'll mow all the fields over labor day with the discbine with the wide/thin kit installed and then I'll probably have to ted it anyway to get it to dry down because here in SE Michigan, late summer means heavy morning dew. All the equipment...

In my last 10 Kubota's (I may have owned more, kind of lost count), I've always purchased them with at least one set of remotes and my present 2 M's both have 2 sets of remotes (stackable). I run hydraulic intensive implements all the time but I've never had the need for more than 2 sets used...

I have 2 M9000's , one with a cab and an open station. The cab tractor has mirrors (obviously), the open station don't I had to back my NH BR round baler into the barn this afternoon and park it in it's parking place. Not thinking about it much, I hooked the baler up to the open station M9...

I run a NH 450 Twine / net round baler that is all computerized so I can alternate between twine and net anytime. My customer don't care how I wrap them so it don't matter but pricing net (52" over the edge) versus poly RB twine, poly twine wins hands down. Having said that, the twine takes...

I see CC has come out with a vertical tine tiller that supposedly will chew up grass and provide a seed bed in one pass. Anyone have one and if you do, what do you think of it... I have the RT model (conventional rear tine counter rotating and other than the crappy Honda GC engine, it works...

Don't have a clue where to stick this and I did a forum search and came up with 2,250 possible threads, problem is, of the ones I looked at, none were related to my question / issue... I need to purchase a 12 volt to 110 volt inverter for my CPAP machine. I need it to use in my camper when I'm...

Opinions please... My wife bought a gallon of it at the farm store (Husky brand) and I'm not too happy with it. While it's labelled 50:1 premix, it don't seem to run too well in my saws or trimmers. Think I'll go back to my Marine Stabil laced premium gas with Stihl oil added. Not sure of an...

Not a chainsaw, A Husquavarna 308 bolt action rifle, Grade A, engine turned bolt, beautiful gloss wood stock, blued action, mauser claw extraction, never fired, in the original box. Can't wait for the scope to come in so I can build a load for it and get it ready for hunting this fall. Never...

Used the search feature and came up empty handed.. I need some input on a large (at least 8 foot dig depth) 3 point backhoe for either my M9000 0r 105 Kubotas. Both have full cabs and both are Cat 2. Looked at the Wood Maxx line and they look pretty good but I need some first hand knowledge...

I have 25,313 Hours on my Resprionics C-Flex machine with just routine maintenance (filters and of course new hoses and masks). The Fisher-Patel humidifier is original too and still on my original water container. It's 15 years old and runs lik a top....:thumbsup: How about yours?

Whoi sharpens chipper knives and how much? Gotta be cheaper than a new set?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I just bought a NH 450 Utility Baler to replace my aged 638 NH. I opted foe the Bale Command, twine and net and it's a nice baler, the net is at least 2 times faster than twine and the Bale Command is like having a video game in the tractor. I'm so accostomed to...

Sold my getting troublesome NH 638 I've had for years (bought new). I don't run many rounds actually less lately than I used to (about 150 a year now) and I had an agreement with a local farmer to run them but he's always busy when I need my hay run so I sold the old one and bought a new one...

Both my tractors have cabs with windshield wipers and I tend to replace them when the get so hard (blade) that they no longer wipe the glass. Not a high priority..... On the cars, every year or when the blade seperates.... High priority.... Bought some 'lifetime wipers' for the cars that are...

Not that I hardly ever fall for a good scam..... Because I don't, but I was curious as to just how good this scam was..... It's good......:thumbsup: I purchased the Power4Home E book on the Internet some weeks ago not expecting much for my $59.95 and I wasn't disapointed. It's not much. In...

There seems to be appearing on store shelves more than one Stabil mixture lately, plus there are other brands like (Briggs and Stratton Gas stabilizer) and Power Service.... I see there is the good old standby stinky red Stabil... The Marine blue Stabil..... The light orange Ethanol Stabil...

I have an older horse that's in good shape except for the motor and I've been considering going diesel. Will the Hatz provide the ooomph necessary to power the Horse? Custom machining is no problem. I'd have a poor man's BCS.:D

Been using Sea Foam as a gas additive to keep the injection systems in the cars clean. Been using it ocassionally in the weed wacker, lawn mower and chainsaw. They are all running fine so it must do what it's supposed to or does it? This government mandated gasoline has me worried as to it's...

I know there aren't too many on here with 105's. I have one and so does the guy down the road. His is leaking from the top of the transmission case of all places. It appears that it's coming from a fitting midway up the case top, under the seat area. I have a breather hose there and he (as...

Back when I owned my 5030, I initiated a thread on this site concerning the modifications you could do to improve the airflow (negative) through the ac condenser and oil cooler. Kubota places both the ac condensor and oil cooler (and ata units) fairly far from the main radiator core and fan...

My last registered visit was 5-14-2007. Somehow I lost track of this forum, silly me. It was probably because I graduated from a medium sized tractor to a big tractor(s) and I felt a bit out of place. However, the other day I visited (as a lurker) and low and behold, lots of posters with...

I don't believe there are too many posters here that have big tractors like I do, but here's hoping someone has some expierence or can shed a little light on my leak. My M9 (which is still under warranty, but I need it right now) has a leak. Transmission fluid is leaking from somewhere under...

Is there a good source for Perkins engine rebuild kits out there? I have a 1085 with a naturally aspirated Perkins 318cu inch 4 cylinder that has a broken ring in the number 4 hole. If it isn't too expensive, I'd like to do an in frame, that is, if I can find a rebuild kit. This tractor only...

I was considering getting a slingshot like I had when I was a kid. I had a wristrocket and I was pretty good with it. I even hunted rabbits and squirrels. I have a coon problem in the horse barn and firearms are disruptive to the animals. Yes, I have trapped them but I have a couple who seem...

Well guy's. If you remember my post about 2 years ago about me wanting a Triumph Bonneville, Well, I got it and then a whole lot more. Tractors are nice but this is beyond nice. It's a driveway jewel. I bought the bike soon after my original post and then proceeded to add the sidecar which...

Read an article in the ATA Journal today that trucking industry executives are predicting $7.00 per gallon diesel by 2010. Extrapolated, that means that it will cost me $7,000.00 to fill my bulk tank with on road. Here in Michigan, off road is around $0.50 less per gallon but at $6.50 I...

Okay, time to pick everyones brains. I have seen a few Kubota FWA tractors with front fenders but I can't seem to come up with a manufacturer or a website. Anyone got any ideas. I'd make them myself but due to the wheel cut, they need to actually articulate somewhat at full lock or they will...

owning-ML-843834-ML- Brand specific post

Was lurking in the JD section and saw this post line. My tractors don't fit in the garage, they are too big but I have lots of tools and toys. What do all of you have in your garage or barn or equipment shed? Equipment barn: M9000 with LA1251 FEL and QD. Massey 1085 (not Kubota but not green...

I thought I'd take a couple of pictures for all to see. The Lucknow looks kind of small compared to the 5030. The car is the size comparison. It's a bull in a china shop. My 1085 Massey is in the background.

A little quiz: What is the most popular (owned) tractor in the world? Lets see how many get this right. Hint:: I own one.

Two Way Radio\'s Well, I did a search and came up with nothing so here goes: I am considering a set of FRS or GMRS two way radio's for our operation and I'd like some input as to what is good and what isn't. Our terrain is mostly flat, very rural and the farthest I'd have to communicate would...

78\" snowblower modification? I have had my Lucknow 78" rear mount blower for a few years now and the clearance between the fan and the circular housing in which it rotates has grown somewhat do to a lot of use and the abrasion of dirt and gravel that gets injested by the auger and fan during...

I need to pick the minds of the multitudes. Is it possible to convert the filament type bulbs in my M9000 Kubota's headlamps to Halogen type bulbs. The headlights are okay, but halogens would be better.

Well, Having the 5030 and the M9 was too much for me so I traded the 5030 in and now just have the M9 as far as Kubota's. I optioned the M9 all the way out (as usual). Nice tractor. I understand the Kubota is discontinuing the M9 in favor of the new M93 which will look like the 105-125...

Well, the 5030 is going to get replaced or should I say upgraded so that I may purchase a discbine at a later date. I am agonizing between 2 Kubotas, the M105 and the M9000. Of course, both have cabs. I would never even consider an open station tractor of any make. I really hate to give up...

Well, after reading here about the Tiny Tach, I ordered the commercial model for my Lincoln Welder/Generator. I installed it per the manufacturers instructions, The engine is electric start, so the one I got needs power to it. I installed it, started the engine, it came on for about 2 seconds...

Mak\'in Hay with John Day Square bailing hay is a PROJECT. John wanted to get away from surburbia, I guess, and give us (me) a hand bailing squares. I had John hook up to my old trusty NH Hayliner while I took the rounder to clean up the scraps and if it got too late, well to finish off the...

I was curious if anyone is familiar with Jet Hot? It's a proprietary coating that may be applied to exhaust manifolds and turbochargers to contain heat. It comes in different colors as well as a chrome like finish.

I just got a Gehl rotary rake, Model 260 for a song. I see that gehl doesn't list that rake on their website. Where can I get tines and a side shield replacement for the rake and is the Kuhn rake parts interchangeable?

LUCKNOW 78\"-5030HSTC I finally got my camera back from the in-laws. Took some pictures of the new Lucknow 78" rear mount blower on the 5030HSTC. This blower looks real industrial. Check out the hydraulic rotator and the height of the discharge chute. I will have to be careful about where I...

Okay, it's time to pick the collective brains at TBYNet. I was reading in some magazine a while ago about putting water injection on automotive gasoline engines to improve the fuel mileage. I remember in the 60's, during the gas rationing, putting water injection on high compression engines to...

I know, this is not tractor related, but it is sort of. I am seriously considering purchasing a new Triumph Bonneville for my fleeting spare time. It's not a Kubota, but then a Kubota isn't a Triumph either. I haven't had a motorcycle in some years and I had a Triumph in 1968. A Bonneville...

This has absolutely nothing to do with a tractor, but I can't find the torque value for torquing the aluminum wheels on my wife's '02 Ford Ranger Edge. I looked in the owners manual, searched the web and I have had no results. The vehicle has a vibration at about 65 mph and I have been told...

I thought I would post an update on the air conditioning situation on the L series cab model Kubota's: I returned the questionnaire that Kubota sent me, detailing my modifications to the cooling system as well as the added shrouding in front of the radiator. I also made my dealer aware of what...

I have to relate a story in this forum: A farmer down the road from me had a Massey V8 Row cropper. He decided to convert it into a pulling tractor for the fair circuit. He added water injection, had the engine balanced and blueprinted, M&H pistons, the whole 9 yards. Anyway, he sold it last...

I have e-mailed Bradco about a backhoe for my 5030HSTC at least three times. I have also left messages with their regional manager on his cell phone pager and have not received any response. My dealer also inquired with no response. I am impressed with the Bradco hoe as to it's quality but I...

I was sitting with Henro and his wife in Pittsburgh, PA., when the lights went out all over the eastern half of the United States. Pittsburgh wasn't affected, so we got to see the multitudes of people in New York City milling about on the streets like ants in a large cookie jar. We also got to...

I am considering changing my flooded cell batteries over to Optima saturated mat batteries as they expire in my equipment. The first one is the deep cycle in my truck camper. Actually, the deep cycle in the camper is still good, but I was going to get an Optima Group 31 and laterially...

Okay J, I've started the thread. lets try not to make it 5 pages long? My experience with cheap oil is that it's okay for my work car. I've even drained the oil from my Kubota and put it in my "beater"

I just read the search problem, now I have a question. I miss the poster's name not being listed with the most current post in the main index. One thing about haveing the posters TBYNet name listed is that being on here for a while, you get to know who is knowledgable on certain aspects and...

Here is a picture of my 5030 Kubota and my friends Massey. Yesterday we ran a field of wheat straw. 68 acres to be exact. We are both running the same bailers, NH 630 series.

This is the last of my haying series for first cut. We mow, ted, rake and round bale. If you search through the photo posts, you will find each of the steps to get to this point. This particular load is destined to be delivered to a horse borading facility north of Detroit, Michigan. That's...

Put Orange and Red together and what do you have? An excellent combination for round bailing, plenty of power and a hydrostatic transmission so your left foot goes to sleep!! I've posted a bunch more photo's in the photo section.

This series of pictures are the round baler behind the 5030 in the field that was pictured in the previous series being mowed. I rolled 70 bales on this field last evening. This picture is starting a bale.

Here is a cuuple of pictures of what farmers use to prepare soil when you are doing acreage. This tool is great for planting vegetables. As long as you have the pto horsepower, you can gang them up, 2 or 3. 3 would take around 3 hundred pto horsepower.

I always thought that Kubota built their own engines. I was at the "barn" today and we were all talking tractors of which I am a minority owner and one of the Deere guys told me that Kubota dosen't build their own engines. I countered that smaller Deeres were Yanmar and that NH wasn't NH but...

Sometimes, John Deere and Kubota do work well together . I posted the complete series in the photo section for everyone's enjoyment under "haying 5030 style"

This one is the field before starting to mow.

This is the utility vehicle here on the farm. It's good for all sorts of tasks and will pull anyone out of the ditch to boot. Even my wife can run it. It's an automatic

We are getting our haying equipment ready for first cut. Pictured is my 13 foot throat J.D. Mower/Conditioner hooked to the back of my 5030 Kubota. Orange and Green really don't look bad together.

Bought myself a TSC riding lawnmower with a Briggs 24 horse V twin. The other day I mistakenly put about 2 gallons of diesel in the tank. There was about a gallon of gas already in the mower and the engine was warm. I went back to mowing and the mower started having a funny smell but was...

John Deere\'s New SUPERSTEER Tractor This is the new John Deere version of New Holland Supersteer. Makes for a tight turning radius. A little hard on the tractor, a lot harder on the operator. Daryl Forage services, L.P.

Does any know what if any are the interchanges on the universal joints on a JD side delivery rake? Our old rake is in need of new universals and I don't want to pay the HIGH John Deer parts price. The side delivery rake we have is our favorite. I don't think it's going to last much longer...

You can tell spring is coming around here in S.E. Michigan, all you have to do is look at the muddy ruts. Daryl Forage Services, L.P.

I have a pet peive with Kubota. In the last 5 that I've had, none have had a 7 way electrical connector on the back of the tractor. I run rear lights and 4 way flashers on all my implements as required by Federal Law and I always have to add an SAE 7 way male plug to the back of the tractor...

I have a Kohler K241 10 hp. on my Lincoln welder. It has a fixed jet. The only adjustment screw is for the idle mixture. Ever since it was new (about 15 years ago), the motor will hesitate when throttled up from an idle. Sometimes, the motor will sputter and die. Other times it will come...

While at the shop today I was informed from one of the diesel mechanics that the use of B-20 biodoesel will void the warranty on Cummins powered Dodge Trucks. I have used B-20 in my Ford Powerstroke but noticed a decrease in fuel mileage. Besides, the pump price is about 20 cents higher than...

With fuel prices going through the roof, what you need is a bulk tank... Check local papers, flea markets or the scrap yard and find a 275 gallon fuel oil tank. There are a lot of them around as homeowners are changing from fuel oil to piped gas or propane. Truck the tank home, purchase a 12...

My 3050HSTC, I just gave it a bath. I'll shoot some pictures this summer while I'm busting it's but with the haying equipment

I'm probably going to get some flak over this, but Woods, Oregon, Ill. manufactures Kubota Backhoe attachments. I know this as we sell steel to Kubota and send it to Woods. The Kubota hoe is made by Woods to Kubota's specifications. I've had a Kubota hoe and a woods hoe (have neither now) and...

I forgot to include this..The 853 loader seems to have free play, that is when I roll the bucket down, the bucket does not go all the way to the stops right away, but hesitates for about 5 seconds and then goes to the stops. I like to bang the bucket to clear it when moving manure or snow as...

Is it possible to mount an aftermarket backhoe to a 3050 with a factory cab? Kubota hoe's will not fit and are not recommended. The tractor has a subframe for the loader. Does anyone know what fits? This is my 5th Kubota and 1st. cab model. I'm getting old and I like the comfort, especially...

What is the difference between the Super and the regular? I've had 4 'bota's from B model to my present 3050HSTC and I've always done my own services. I've always used UDT because the Super is that, a SUPER price. I might add that I've never had a breakdown and my last 2 L series have been...
