    portable band saw

    I have a 110v site transformer for some other tools so I would be ok there. Do you have a pic of your band saw Mith? "Horizontal" bandsaw I'm not familiar with. I know you can get vertical ones in the likes of B&Q but they seem a bit puny for cutting steel, esp heavy gauge box iron? I used...

    Homemade towing hitch

    Yeah Mith, it was registered on a Q plate in Lancashire. Once I get it cleaned up a bit, i will likely register it here. Thanks, it is a bit rough but I'll soon fix that. My wife bought me a brand new genuine kubota seat for it early this week as the original was bad! How cool is that! I must...

    Homemade towing hitch

    Its around 5 inches centre ball to face Mark. I went and checked all the tongues I have on all my trailers and Used the tongue with the largest overhang as my guide. I gave it about 2 inches clearance which allows for complete articulation in all directions (even farther than i would dare to in...

    Code for Kubota colour paint?

    Does anyone know the codes for the Kubota paint colour? I'm thinking about getting the tins painted on my 7100 later in the year and the painter I spoke to said if I could get the paint code, he would be able to get it from his supplier... thanks, Quincy

    Fender vs dash mounted loader controls?

    I kinda like california's set up. When I saw it I though it was a good design, nice simple solution and he looks mighty comfortable operating the controls... If it were in such a way that the control could slide all the way forward by the side of the dash, you could get out both sides... couldnt...

    Reminds me of my 4wheeling days Mith, Mitsubishi Pajero, axle deep in mud... god that was fun. If that was my trail and I was having to use it regularly, I'd be having a truckload of crushed stone fill delivered. Your way looks a lot more fun though Mith...lol... excellent.

    ROPS for kubota...

    The more I read about Kubotas and compact tractors in general... the more I'm thinking a ROPS would be a good investment. I phoned my local Kubota dealer quoting my model number and he gave me a price of €725...($1030 or £500) Is that the typical price for them? Seems a bit high to me but I dont...

    towing hitch on your 3 point...

    I fitted the 3 point linkage to my kubota last night and started looking at making a towing rig to fit on the link. The 3 point linkage doesnt appear to be original though, looks like an aftermarket assembly. I had to shorten the long bar at the front to suit my tractor but the rest of it fitted...

    Very "Mad Max" Mith, I like it...!!! Reminds me of a movie I saw one time... "Armageddon", they had an articulated vehicle (a drilling machine) that your tractor resembles......lol Does it make it hard to steer? You must have lots of swampy areas to drive on in your property if you are putting...

    Well...... I bought it!

    Actually no, I havent been on a ferry in a long time. Last time was when I was going to France on a camping trip about 6 years ago. I usually fly if I'm going to the UK. The cheap airlines over here are as good as what you guys have over there, "Ryanair" being the one of the most successful...
