    My first real tractor!

    Thanks Mark. A FEL would be cool. I had started looking for a kubota with a fel & backhoe but the more I saw of them, the more I noticed how wrecked they were compared to units that were used for mowing and yard work. For an example.... a 6100 I went to look at just 100 miles north of me. It had...

    My first real tractor!

    Everything went very well JD, thanks for asking. I have been using the kubota for just about everything lately and it is awesome! I know it is not up to the tractor standards that some of the guys have on this forum but compared to what I used before I bought it, it is a giant leap forward...

    What Did You Do Today

    Lime... I thought of that but when I checked the PH of my soil, it was high alkaline, I figured by adding lime, it could give me other problems? I'm not an expert though and I'm open to suggestions???

    What Did You Do Today

    The sand IS for clay, same as Mith. I have some areas in my garden that suffer from bad compaction. Very heavy clay. For the last couple of years now, I have been spreading out sand as part of an aerating program. To be honest, the stuff i use is more like grit than sand. 2-3mm (1/16th) inch...

    What Did You Do Today

    Nasty is right Mith.. Finish Mowing? I dont. The last 2 years I've been mowing right though. The winters here have been so mild lately the grass still grows. It does slow a lot but it gets clumpy so I have to mow about every 2-3 weeks to keep it looking good. I usually do my aerating this time...

    Got the lights working

    Spent some time today using the kubota for tidying up around the property. Hauling a few trailer loads of crap from the usual hiding places... Very happy with the kub. extremely maneuverable. I fitted a hitch onto the front an it is a great way to push a trailer into tight spots. Anyway, back...

    Code for Kubota colour paint?

    Thanks guys. Going to look into it a bit more. I rang my local Kubota dealer and they have the Kubota orange (not red) paint in two ways... €12 for a 400ml rattle can or €20 for a 1 litre of cellulose paint in a can... The €20 option sounds the best at the moment.... Since i just polished a...

    3ph dimentions and description

    I think I may have a problem?... The towing rig I made measures 18 inches across on the bottom bearer but the funny thing is that the bottom link arms dont open up much wider than that. According to Miths info, 26 inches is the target for cat 1. The sway stabilisers are adjusted all the way back...

    Homemade towing hitch

    Moving my brothers trailer camper in the garden... Before I had the kubota, I hated having to do this as the soil is a bit wet up there. Using the car to tow it nearly always got some wheel spin as its front wheel drive. Not so for the Kubota... A little extra smoke from the exhaust is all...

    Grass growing tips

    I've noticed..... when a patch of lawn is covered over for a few weeks and it just begins to yellow over, when you uncover it, it grows back very strong and thickens up better? I just noticed recently, a patch of grass in my lawn where the kids had a tent pitched early in the year. There is a...
