    Are you talking about the drain fuel, or the tank? How deep is the clay? I'd be very careful driving on it ... But, the box blade will pull it off better. . .

    Ballast Analysis

    Another thought ... Quite often we hear/read the suggestion of "put as much weight on the back as you want to pick up in the front" ... Which is basically what the first video does, and while it restored the basic 70/30 split of weight reduction ... Is the front axle overloaded at that point...

    Ballast Analysis

    Yup! And so many people claim it's all they need to have for loader work, or maybe a lightweight 250 Lb rear blade! Another false gauge that some use is "the back tires didn't come off the ground" yeah, but if 95% of the total tractor and load is on the front axle, a axle rebuild is right...

    Ballast Analysis

    Excellent video! Every tractor sales person should watch it, along with ever first time tractor owner/operator! Here is one about how filled tires effect the tractor ... I like a lot of weight on my tractors rear axle ... I have the ability to add 275 Lbs to the BH mounting frame if it's not...

    Ripper type tooth for my Backhoe scoop

    It had been sitting on my shelf for over a year, I have a hitch on my bucket ... I originally bought it thinking I could make a "spike" out of angle iron to push/wiggle into the ground when it was damp to kinda make a slot to plant T-posts in, to save my poor carpal tunnel wrists from the manual...

    Ripper type tooth for my Backhoe scoop

    I'm not aware of any discounts, but I can say that they build top quality products which will probably last you a lifetime! I also got there 2" receiver hitch, never really used it at all, the other day I was stringing out another strand of barb wire ... So I put it on for the first time ...

    So I can screen out all the rocks, once and for all, I hope! At first I just hand picked out what I could see ... I did this 5 or 6 times ... But that's hard on my back, and there seemed to be a never ending new crop of rocks ever time I tilled! So ... I built a screen ... But grass and...

    Warning! A long book follows! :cool: I don't really want to loose the A/C, and the 3010 doesn't have enough power to run the 90" finish mower ... Plus it's also a tad wide for 48" rototiller ... I'm not sure if it's feasible to also upgrade the rototiller too. When I bought the L5030, I didn't...

    One of my "problems" is once I spend money on something, I'm invested in it, and usually customize it to my liking, or needs ... While a mini-X is mostly a one trick pony, kinda like my Z-turn ... It's should dig better than my little backhoe, which ... I've spent a bit of cash to make it the...

    I'm leaning very heavy towards a HST, I see and experience the advantages it offers with both my current tractors ... The one disadvantage in these little tractors is the loss noticed in PTO HP ... My tiller has a lower limit of 15 PTO HP, my Massey Ferguson spins it just fine with 19.6 PTO HP...

    What I meant was that I really like both my HST's ... But not sure if I would except a gear tractor or not ... While I'm a truck driver and absolutely hate my new automatic transmission, the L would not have a "shift on the fly" type transmission ... I believe all three of these would be...

    I have the urge, a want, certainly not a need for ANOTHER Tractor! 😔 But ... I like tractors! 😂 I really am not sure what I'd use it for, to be honest my Massey Ferguson SCUT TLB and my Grand L are more than I really "need" ... But there comes a time when "want" seems to override "need" as I...

    Should we stop using Red and Tacky type of grease?

    I'm not switching ... What's supposed to happen to it at 30°F? Become hard as a rock, crumble, or permanently adhere to whatever it touches?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I'm sorry for the delay, as I wasn't sure ... All I could remember was I got it from my local Massey Ferguson dealer ...So I was going to go out to the barn and look, but then I forgot ... And now I'm gone back on the road and probably won't be back for a couple of weeks ... I do know that in...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Only one remote ... But I needed a proper length top link, so I got a hydraulic one ... Thinking of possibly adding another 1 or 2 remotes ... The hydraulic top link make using the forks so much easier!
