    If you hate peace and quiet and your sanity

    What do they taste like? (Closer to chicken, pheasant or turkey or other?) Do they use a coop or is it an Easter egg hunt daily?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Good luck. With your procedure. If you are not able to take care of the tractors or boat, please ship the here and I will see that they are looked after (please make sure to send keys for each and full of fuel😉…I am worried in the Midwest climate that the fuel might evaporate and be empty...

    Working in the NE woods with plenty of snow pack on M6800 skidding

    Oh my, I think I might have wrinkled the vinyl seat. 😉

    LX vs. Standard L - are FELs and 3 pt capacity that close?

    Good day. I started with a BX, and in my opinion Bx to B is not much of an upgrade. It’s basically a lift kit and a negligible amount of additional machine weight and lift. When you use the lift on the B you find out it still has a small stance and your tiltometer lets you know pretty quick if...

    A truck and trailer thread.

    Thanks. Oh my that’s a stout bumper…I love the shackle mounts…I wonder those will be knee knockers? Regarding your parking sensors I assume you would have to transfer those over, correct? (Hope the tabs don’t break when you remove from original bumper). by the way I checked my hubs this...

    L3901 - tiller options - the sequel

    I have heard of bestco but no experience with them. I would also add that I believe landpride also offers tillers with some minor amount of offset. Look for the models that mention ‘sideshift’ gearbox.

    A truck and trailer thread.

    Both of my Fords have (had) auto/manual hubs up front. I have always left them in auto, so from memory I am not sure the proper direction of rotation / markings. Both had E locker and I believe a limited slip diff (I am not sure what the actual differential make and part is though?). But I do...

    Current OEM canopy mfr?

    I think that is really clean install. I’d like to do something similar except I don’t have a cross piece (at least not that far forward)…I really want one now though. is ‘West Coast’ a style? I am not sure the reference and I am afraid to look what that means. I am more hill Billy / rural...

    We are puffin’ smoke early this morning…

    A BX, a B, and a L ... ?

    I don’t have a way to measure it, but my belly rub is that my HST loses 20ish percent felt power when going up a steep grade….is that real or not, I do t know but it certainly lugs and you have to let it do its thing…is it a big deal, not really, but I do notice. Simple solution if it’s a...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Installed a new battery and brought the evaporator up the road and set it a little closer to the wood pile. I suspect I am going to strike a match first thing in the morning. (Approx 60 gallons filtered today which is enough to make a mess)

    IMO HST has an advantage for using a tiller…you can go as slow as you like. (Never used a land plan so I don’t know but I would suspect transmission would be negligible with that)

    Never fear, GrumpyFarmer is here. What you are experiencing is a natural progression that as we age we gain experience, knowledge and sophistication…ipso facto it’s time for another tractor. 😉 in all seriousness IMO get what want. That being said staring at retirement, would you rather retire...

    Grand L4060 Rear Remotes and Top & Tilt

    I only have a hydraulic top link. I ended up buying a kit from FitRite. And I was so pleased with the experience that I had them make me a kit for my dump wagon that I can use with(or without) my winch. I could not be happier with both kits. Brian (I think?) took the time to understand my...
