So I have been worried my water pressure is too high in my house. If I can trust the pressure gauges ( one at entrance to 30 gal pressure tank and one near carbon and string filter setup) when well shuts off with the 20 /40 pressure switch at 40 psi, the well pump clearly can be heard to shut...

As I age, I find the.number of spray cans that stop spraying, ( clog ?) Is increasing . Whether it be spray chain lube, or spray paint, or spray.multi use grease, Wd40 . ....etc etc.. The spray paints I use the " turn upside down and spray" before putting half can away, but usually a few months...

I did the 50 Hr maintenance on my new Kubota RTV X1100C this weekend, it included such things as engine oil and filter change , and both transmission filters and of course the many many many grease points to do. I was disappointed on Kubota's lack of thinking when it came to access to the...

I see from owners manual for my Kubota RTV 1100 XC that the shocks are adjustable to 6 settings and factory has them in middle setting # 3 , I want the front set much stiffer because I am putting a older ATV snow plow on front. It looks like if I take the weight of the front wheels would be...

So I just ordered a 2017 Kubota RTV X1100C, comes in a week or two. I wanted to handle doing a winch for it myself later on (closer to hunting season) I was thinking that since the unit has a two inch receiver on the front and back, it would be nice to have a winch I can remove from the front...

So I tried out my new post hole digger with the 9 inch auger and 48 inch length on my BX 2660. I had to have the arch bolt on the closest one too the three point to have the 48 inch auger clear the ground while I moved around, and I did try it without auger to make sure the three point would...

I have a Buhler (Farm King) 5ft rear discharge Finish Mower and I attempted to take the three blades off to sharpen them , but found no way to hold the blade shaft while undoing the large bolt holding blade. The Operators Parts Manual is no help , although it has great blowups and parts lists...

Looks like this is the forum where we admit our stupidity, in the hopes of helping others avoid our stupid moves. Well I park my tractor (with snowblower on rear ) backed into my 24 x 24 garage and also in that garage is my ATV and a few workbenches depending what woodwork project I am doing. So...

I live in a normal 1000 sq ft bungalow (2000 sq ft if you include the finished basement ) built in 1995. I live rurally with over head service from rural road 200 feet away . So one hydro pole on my property that I own. The pole on the street owned by the hydro company has a typical...

It looks like a few of you on this thread have same tractor as me or have dealt with hooking up a linear actuator for your blower. I ordered one last week on Amazon , (6 inch throw , 200 lb) I think it is 5 amp draw. (has not arrived yet) Now I have a homemade cab that I have already installed...

So I broke the right hand bucket pin on my 2008 BX2660 (LA 243 FEL), I ordered two today (one for spare) So is the job to replace a bucket pin as simple as I imagine ? I am thinking I just lower bucket on garage floor so that it is even and pins are accessible , remove the pin retainer bolt...

So I have four different implements that use a pto shaft and require the push pull and twist we all need to do to get the pto shaft spline to line up and slide onto the tractor pto spline........so I have got used to doing it with the wood chipper and the snow blower and the bush...

I figure all you folks with welders probably also have a garage compressor so I put my question here. I recently upgraded my little 2 gallon oiless compressor to an 11 gallon one because I was given a bunch of compressor hand tools (impact wrench, air ratchet, chipper , nail gun) at Christmas...

So spring soon here and need to replace my 1993 Husqvarna lawn tractor for my 3 acres of cutting , that also has been able to get up the attached hill beside my house and just leave me a small amount to cut with gas weed wacker,. Now I like the idea of being able to use the BX2660 Kubota and buy...

I could not help but notice that even in the USA the Engine sizing quoted in maketing is using the metric sizing instead of the cubic inch sizing many of us older folks remember fondly. Think back to those tried and true engine sizes that as soon as you heard the cubic inch size you knew the...

Okay I have seen a few of you folks have used a car electric window motor , to rotate your snowblower chutes........but has anyone tried using one of those motors to move the chute deflector up and down. Or does anyone see problems that would arise if I try doing it. See my picture...

I have a 2008 BX2660 that I have bought various implements for thru the years, (se my signature) but now with my 1994 Husky lawn tractor on its last legs I am considering buying a mid mount mower for under my BX2660 instead of another lawn tractor. My concerns are 1) that I have installed 2...

My 1994 Husqvarna 42 inch riding mower is on its last legs..........the deck has been spot welded, riveted and repaired so many times I have very little original metal to work with especcailly around the chute where now it looks like I no longer can attach the chute , and besides the mulching...

I have a 1994 Husqavarna Garden tractor with the 15 hp Kohler engine . Starter is mounted vertical on these with gear at top to engage with flywheel at top of kohler engine. This spring time.....it seems like the starter won't move up into the flywheel to start the engine..........it will spin...

First spring skunk wandered within eyesight of my dog last night but I managed to keep her from approaching it and dispatched the skunk with the 22 (sorry used some rare 22 ammo smile) What surprised me, in the country here, was that within 20 minutes one turkey vulture was on the kill and...

So I want to extend the bucket on my FEl on my BX2660 (4 ft bucket) I find in the winter moving snow the bucket could handle more that now falls off the sides and back , also in the summer for moving topsoil or woodchips. So I stopped by the "traders metal" and got to raid their scrap bin of...

This happened last month up here in Canada. Sad thing is most snowmachine internet sites I frequent , think the snowmachine riders were innocent and farmer should be charged.............. Snowmobilers threatened with gun, catch incident on video - Saskatoon - CBC News If it was regularily...

I posted this in the chainsaw section too but maybe here in the "rural" forum someone has ideas too. My daughter has enlisted me to get her a piece of maple 5 inches thick x 9 inches wide by 72 inches long for a rustic fireplace mantle...from my woodlot. Now I have made rustic furniture out of...

My daughter has enlisted me to get her a piece of maple 5 inches thick x 9 inches wide by 72 inches long for a rustic fireplace mantle...from my woodlot. Now I have made rustic furniture out of my maple trees in the past (bunk beds, bar stools etc). But this time the length wise cut 6 feet along...

Okay have a woodsplitter bought from TSC store a few years ago (5 hp gas 10 ton ) use it two or three times a year. It has the hydraulic reservoir integral in the steel beam directly below where the splitting action occurs. Like normal it has a clear one inch hydraulic line from the tank to...

I am making a stool out of a old steel tractor seat by welding it to the cut off axle of a antique farm implement that had a gear hub with a nice design and had a 20 inch diameter so it was a good base. I assumed it would be easy to weld some casters from hardware store to the 20inch base after...

I am buying a dual axle trailer to tow my Kubota (with my 2008 Dodge 4 x 4 pickup Hemi) , and it will have one axle with electric brakes . I have a old Tekonsha Brake Controller I used in the 1980's to tow a travel trailer. I have saved and have not used it for almost 30 years , it has the...

A couple weeks ago my one inch brass check valve, that is the very first valve inside the house (next to my pressure tank) exploded and the well proceeded to keep running and tried to fill up my basement. Fortunately I arrived home maybe a half hour after this happened so I was able to shut the...

My Kubota FEL came in handy on Sunday to bring this deer I shot down to my garage from my upper meadow. Also helped to bring the guts back to my bush for the coyotes to feast on. Have to say it was a proud day for me and the Kubota ! (my first deer) Will be having steaks in a few days ! :licking:

I am considering buying a 48 inch rotary cutter for my BX2660 tractor (19 hp at pto) In Canada it is name brand Orion, but that is a rebrand off the Tennessee River Implement manufacturer. I never heard of them and I downloaded their manual. Seems okay, rear discharge typical design otherwise...

I live in Northern Ontario Canada and we are dealing with a very dry summer. I have a small garden 30 x 30 that includes three rows of potatoes in the centre. Now I put the potatoes in the center of garden because they would be last out of ground in fall, and so I could drive my compact tractor...

Well I attempted to attach my straight shaft gas powered brush cutter to one side of my tractor bucket (attaching it to the tooth bar and at bucket top lip) but that idea did not work at all. I am attempting to control the hawthorne shrubs that invade a particular 3 acre field I have . I have...

Does anyone here have experience with propane boiler furnace that also heats your domestic water . Commonly named "combi boilers" I am considering buying one to replace my wood boiler furnace and at same time get rid of my electric water heater. Most of the good combi boilers have 95%...

I am making a back blade for my Kubota mainly just because I have lots of spare steel around the property that I bought a few years ago. But I can see using it to spread topsoil on lawn and ATV trail work For the blade I wanted to use one of the cutting edges I found that is 5inches tall that...

Although hunting season is over, for the past couple of years I have been feeding the deer in the hopes my Son in law hunter can get one. However it seems the typical deer feed we can find at the local (Canadian) TSC store is a corn and molasses mix. Unfortunately the crows and ravens just love...

I have had a Husqvarna Model 435 chainsaw for almost one year now , (it replaced a ten year old Husqvarna same size) This thing has had to go back to dealer twice to have the pullcord cover replaced. This is because the pullcord cover has a plastic tab that holds the pullcord spring in place, so...

I am doing my 400 hr service on my BX2660 tonight and picking up filters at dealer on the way home from work, I have one gallon of Kubota SUDT leftover from a couple years ago, but I forgot to check my manual on how many gallons or quarts the transmission will need. Any one have a manual handy...

In response to the Baldyonthehill thread where he seemed determined to slag Kubota despite it obviously being a clash of personalities between him and his dealer . I thought it only fair to give an example of how my Kubota has been a very good product and how my dealer has been excellent in...

My 30 x 30 vegetable garden is 3 years old now, it started with 14 yds of black loam rototilled into the existing clay base (the location grew grass and weeds very well before it was garden) Each year in fall would add half dozen bags of peat moss and any straw we used between the rows to keep...

I heat both my house and garage about 80% by wood and get my wood from my land using the tractor , But getting tired AND want a woodsplitter. My dealer has a used three point hitch that would still need to be plumbed to my BX2660 and he wants a thousand for it and I think I would need to weld...

I presently use my ATV with a 60 inch manual swivel Moose snow plow for most of my 300 ft driveway winter maintenance , and then the odd time push back the banks with the FEL on my BX2660 tractor and maybe back scrape a few sidewalk sections. The ATV is quick but it is cold out there. SO last...

I have searched the net looking for a site that would have a chart that would tell me how much a odd shape piece of steel weighs per foot. I have five of these 12 foot long square tubes that came with homestead and the scrap in the back yard . I now hope to use a couple of these for roof beams...

I have a BX2660 and noticed that after 120 hours that my FEL Hoses are showing a serious wearing spot on the quick connect hose bunch that is supposedly placed and protected well by the fabric bag . Unfortunately these hoses must form a tight S shape to fit along the side hood and FEL and be...

I may have surgery this winter on my right arm and be in a sling during the winter plowing season. And my wife refuses to learn the tractor. Has anyone rigged up any sort of way to operate the FEL joystick with left hand , or other tips? (safety police please ignore) I hate to postpone the...

Thanks to many of the posts here I saw advantages to having a set of forks for my BX2660. I wanted something I could move pallets around (if I ever get around to storing my firewood on pallet boxes) but I also wanted flexibility of a single fork that I could use as spear to get under brush tree...

Have a 150 hrs on my BX2660,.....thought I knew how the safety switch works by how it worked last year (the manual says very little ) But of late it is doing something new. Start no problem, move and work tractor on jobs no problem , but if you go to get off tractor and leave it idling , it...

Had some fun last week removing 15ft of 12 inch culvert plugged with clay because previous owner installed it in two pieces and over time it filled up. Luckily the small one came out after using middle buster to open trench and FEL to expose . And then a chain and sling to walk it out from each...

This weekend I drove my BX2660 the 4 or 5 miles it is over to the dealer to pick up my new rototiller. I didn't figure it would take me very long using the "rabbit gear" and the drive would be pleasant. Suprisingly it took almost an hour one way. I set the throttle for roughly 2500-2600 rpm...

I bought a 4 gallon container of Roundup from my rural Coop store this weekend. Wow $175 ouch ! Anyway I took a look at the 60 page instruction manual trying to find the simple instructions on what ratio of roundup to water I would use to hand spray my vegetable garden. I turned the vegetable...

Has anyone had any luck making a floor drain in a existing concrete garage floor that was not designed with one ? Now that I have a Kubota and a ATV melting the leftover snow on the floor , it is running all over with no place to go. I live in the cold north , the garage has a floating slab...

I don't own a welder, so you welders out there need not look at this tractor roof very closely, unless you want a laugh ! Yes it looks like a Phillippino Jitney Taxi .....but it only cost me $60 and 20 hrs labour this past week. I normally use my ATV and 60 inch plow for my snow removal, but...

How feasible is ditching with a front bucket versus buying a backhoe attachment. I am in market to buy a compact tractor up here in Canada. My soil conditions is primarily clay with a few rocks. I have 40 acres but 30 is bush and the remaining ten acres climbs up a hill behind my house, so I...
