66-year oldfart 2, I live in *********, in the pinewoods district, N. East Texas. I have a small pine tree plantation, 4-acre pasture, some hardwoods, with small spring fed ponds. My Tractor is a Kubota 2003, L4330, 4X4, front end loader, Woods, 72-inch brush hog, 6-foot rake, mostly now for raking gopher mounds. I hooked a water hose up to a tailpipe on a old car using aluminum tape, and shoved the hose down a gopher hole, put a lot of them to sleep. Now I just put poison seed in there tunnels with a pole contraption I bought at feed store. I have a 6-foot heavy 3-point hitch heavy duty blade I bought mostly for a cantilever when I haul dirt. Mostly used front end loader bucket to spread dirt. I have a Country Line 6-foot roto tiller, Stevens Tractor, row builder, or hiller for garden. Got 500-onions planted and a row of red potatoes, 75-feet long, with head rows. Have some black berry bushes, and fruit trees. The garden has 8-foot high electric fence to keep the deer, wild hogs, raccoons dogs, and cats out, but only up to five feet is electric. Just bought a CountryLine log splitter yesterday, now I got to go get some hydraulic hose for it, and see if someone will tell me how to connect a quick connect for hydraulic hose connection. I still want to use my frontend loader while splitting wood. We have a hydraulic hose maker shop here in town. Maybe they will offer to just take care of it for me. I cleared a lot of brush 2-3inch at base stuff. If I could get the tractor on top of the brush, the mower would cut it. I have never had my equipment in the shop, except the tractor for its first 100-hour check up. I change my own oil & filters, and use plenty of grease on the grease zerts. I just puts a pair of Pat's 3-point hitch easy connects on a month ago for changing implements on & off, now those are the cat's meow, work great, and fast. Now I use all my implements, changing them back & forth several times a day. I also got a double blade middle buster plow, for digging potatoes. The tractor has 1,700 hours on it. I need some help, I was a general contractor, don't no nothing about mechanics!
