Set a couple old cedar fence posts at the ends of a row of stones set out to define the field edge at the corner nearest our private road. The bucket on the L filled in for the wheelbarrow I don’t have. Not sure what blocked out trauma may be at the root of my hatred for wheelbarrows, but I’ve...

Good luck with the hand surgery.

Is the movement of the control lever (the one in your hand) jerky or is the lift jerky as you smoothly move the control lever?

Over the past few years I’ve saved a ton of hours by downloading the app for every hardware, home improvement, auto parts, and some other stores in my area. Home Depot, Lowe’s, Grainger, NAPA, Autozone, Ace, TSC, Walmart, etc. Particularly for stuff that may or may not be in stock, the apps will...

Did several little things but no pics. A few days ago, noticed about 6oz hydraulic fluid on the floor directly under the rattle vent on the bell housing. Not great, but I’d been swapping stuff on both front and rear remotes earlier and moving the tractor around while doing that. The Pioneer...

Very neat and clean. If it weren't for the mud on the tires it would look like you don’t use it. I wonder how many routinely keep the cover on the PTO shaft when not in use. I do, but you’re the only other I’ve seen with the cover on a tractor that has more than a few hours on it.

When he asks for money, I’d file a complaint with the bar association of Madrid, Spain (https://web.icam.es/en/the-public/complaint-procedures/). Since he’s an attorney there, I’m sure they’ll straighten him out. 🙄

There’s a fair amount of Hardee products in this area. They have a reputation for producing high quality implements. Only direct experience I have with them was using one of their box blades on one of my then employer’s tractors to grade a few gravel parking lots and driveways probably 20...

I don’t have a L3302. Looked at the instructions in the OM to confirm it works same as my L4701. Per the L3302 OM, they work the same. A bit over 600 hours, I’ve never done anything other than auto regens. I have never touched the DPF Inhibit switch. Unless the DPF Inhibit switch is lit, which...

I’ve trapped the rear blocking on my equipment trailer enough times I now include a bottle jack in standard rigging for my equipment trailer. A little nudge from the jack is a lot quicker than unloading and reloading.

Now I’m curious about max height for a flail. I have to cut our meadow areas where we want native forbs at 8” once a year in the winter, which keeps saplings at bay but allows native pollinators to out compete grasses. 8” is as high as my bush hog cuts, but is also minimum for our forbs. The...

I have a rotary brush cutter (bush hog). Don’t have a flail. Either should work so long as the brush doesn’t exceed the size for which the cutter is rated. First obvious difference that comes to mind as you mentioned uneven terrain and creek crossings is the rotary cutter extends past the rear...

So an agricultural type propane flamethrower / weed burner would kill it?

Only time I recall having a stupid moment with loading or unloading was, of course, in front of a crowd. Was unloading in an asphalt parking lot at a church workday. About 50 guys were meeting with a couple of project leaders figuring out who brought what equipment and breaking up into teams for...

There’s an optional drop drawbar that’s offset to increase the PTO to drawbar gap for the L4701. https://www.messicks.com/parts/kubota/l6830 I don’t have one and a brief search didn’t reveal dimensions. Also didn’t see a drop drawbar offered for the MX4700. Might be worth checking with your...

We have a few. They’re not all that bad IMO. Butt ugly, but if we killed all the ugly things I’d be in trouble myself. Typed some other stuff, but remembered this is public and there are probably laws about what you can and can’t do when and how these days. I will say, if your laws allow...

That makes sense. I don’t know what flow is required to actuate an auto shutoff.

I haven’t seen an electric pump that can reverse flow. I have no idea why you’re asking me about electric pumps. I haven’t said anything about electric pumps. I have said something about auto shutoff nozzles. The function of an auto shutoff nozzle has absolutely zero relation or connection to...

Auto shut off nozzles are a mechanical system entirely contained in the nozzle. Maybe you can’t use an auto shut off with a mechanical pump, but I don’t know why you couldn’t. As you pump, you’d just have to pay attention and stop pumping when the nozzle clicks off. Slide the nozzle out a...
