I like my 2501 HST for many reasons and I have a RC for it. HOWEVER…..I completely “failed” when I bought the RC. Now in my defense, I had never even sat on a tractor with a RC attached before I bought it, and the advertisement of “can handle trees up to 2 inchs” was foremost in my mind when I...

Man I love those things. Our neighbors ususally have about 10-12 of them at any one point. They are always “patrolling” our yard, and “yes” they are loud, but I kinda enjoy listening to them “gaggle around”. They kind of drowned out the "voices in my head”……..🤫:unsure: I will say this...

Are they “one piece” ? That kinda sucks if you ever break one, or wear them out.

Thats a fantastic “non-traditional” use. Good idea, that I may have to use one day. Thanks for sharing (y) (y) PS. I LOVE the ‘quietness” of that splitter so much, I was kicking around the idea of when I eventually make my own splitter, I was going to go “electric”……(You know, “save the...

Well, I had a similar situation once. My “toy” log splitter ran dry for some unexplained reason, and I needed to “get’er done”. So against my "better judgment” I filled it with SUDT cause thats all I had on the shelf. I have no idea of the viscosity, nor do I have any evidence that it’s kosher...

I would troubleshoot one problem at a time. Forget about the black smoke at start up for now. First, get a “zip tie” (or similar) and bypass the seat switch by closing the switch manually, then trying to move it, and report back.

On a side note………. Your picture looks like me “praying to God” that I don't hit my cottage just before I cut that tree down 5 years ago…..hahahahah

Kubota sells a “magic tire sealant” that claims to be able to stop large punctures. Not sure if it would work, but it might be worth a try. They “claim” it works up to 5/8” diameter ….which it appears you might be approaching.

JK…... Rotella 5w-40 full synthetic, would be a good choice. I recently switched to it for the tractor since it gets pretty cold here, and I found a “stupid good” rebate deal….. ;) I’ve been using Rotella for 25+ years in my diesels and I like it. But I’m sure there are guys that have...

I agree with the 220V machine, but I’m not "100% sold" on the import machines causing bad welds. Similar to the the Miller vs. Lincoln Vs. Hobart v.s (whomever), I wonder how much the machine counts vs. the skills of the actual “welder himself”. Any machine my welding instructor touched, laid...

I just looked at your chart and thought……”Wow those are perfect numbers”……Then I realized y'all use C not F…… Sorry mate, but that would be “hellish” for my fat ass…………. 😅

I am with @Ping and @GeoHorn on this. My initial thought was to "weld on” an extension to your plate, and use the existing hoist bolts as the rear anchor points. Then you could most likely “safely drill” 1 (maybe 2) holes for the front of your base plate. Full disclosure: I am not a...

Heres my .02 Get it…. I reason it like this……….Since you’re buying used, there will be "little to no” depreciation. Hence, selling it (if you decided to for whatever reason), would be a “net zero” type of situation. So with little to no risk, why not? Now if you were looking at a “new...

Not sure if this helps or not? https://shop.kubotausa.com/oemparts/a/kub/66f437d55e09893b594519e3/b15007-quick-bucket-12-bt4552 EDIT: Or what about possibly removing the teeth, and fabricating some sort of "smooth edged” attachment? I have never seen a BH92 in person, but I’m pretty sure...

I would LOVE to see what/how you do it. That will be a very cool project sir. Please post your progress! (y) EDIT: There are lots of very talented people on this board, so if you have any questions or such, just ask.:)
