One of my zerk fittings is not taking grease and it is not the zirk fitting. It is located on the left lower boom on the front end loader. Is the bearing seized? any help would be appreciated.<br>

Sorry this reply was to DRankin, not to good at typing and when I went back to look who responded my post got deleted so I went off memory and posted it wrong.
Again thanks to all for responding, usally I just surf thuis site to find info, but it is great to get responces to questions from people who know and have been through similar situations.
DRankin your probably right IF the tractor weighs about 7700# and trailer weighs 3500# I will need a bigger truck, I can"t really justify that expense.
I have to figure something out soon cause the garbage pile kinda annoys my wife and kids.

I had the icynene insulation system installed in my home about one year ago. I installed a 1500 sq ft addition to my 1500 square foot home. I framed the new walls with 2" x 6" studs, Removed the plaster on existing exterior walls and had real 2' x 4" studs. The icynene was applied to 5 1/2" deep on new portion of the home and 4" on existing portion of the home. The 2 x 12 roof rafters cavities were sprayed to about 8 to 10 inches thick, my vented soffits were in effect sealed shut and it was applied direct to underside of roof sheathing. The basement and crawlspace was sprayed to about 6 to 8 inches.

Well as i said a full heating season has passed since the insulation was applied. My heating bill this season is $400 dollars less than last year but last year I was only heating 1500 sg ft this year I heated 3000 sq ft (same boiler).

The unfinished attic approx 1500 sq ft remains only about 4 degrees cooler than the rest of the home, that was a real valued Bonus.

I own a construction co. in New York City and my home is on Long Island NY. I really rec"d this product. As far as the shingle lifespan being shortened I am not really concerned, try walking on a roof on a 90 degree day, the roof will stick to your shoes I don't think a couple degrees warmer is going to change the lifespan, as far as warranty goes it is alot warmer in Las Vegas than where I
am so I'm sure something could be resolved. But I never had to replace any roof for warrenty and I don't think I'll have to now. I believe this product has been around for 20 years.
It is important to vent baths and cooking areas though.
I would rec'd this product.

Thanks to all that responded, I get that what one spends is what one gets but i just got a price for a woods 6' box for 2900 that is huge, for the amount of time I'm going to use it I might have to give a cheaper box a try.

I spent 38,500 for a new L48 with quick attach HD bucket and hoe and worklights. I would have liked to get the 5 in 1 bucket, though I still might. I live in NY.

I currently have a Kubota L-48 TLB. I am really pleased with its performance and reliability so far. This discussion board was very helpful in making my tractor selection. I want to get a box blade for it, although the loader blade does do a pretty good job of leveling various materials, it takes some time. I would like to get a top and tilt for it and also a quality box blade. I would like to know how much this should cost installed by a dealer. any info would be appreiciated. I dont think i want to install it myself, but i could if it is straightforward and had decent install instructions. THanks Don

Thanks for all the posts.
My dealer is about 70 miles away.
I found that hard to believe being on Long Island NY., about 50 miles from NY city. There are several JD dealers. Someone should serve this area there is $$$ money to be made.
I am going to take a trip to the dealer, But wanted as much info as possible so I can purchase all the right oils, filters and grease and not forget anything hopefully.
I just recently built a 3 car garage,(not intended for our cars), 1 bay for family stuff, 2 bays for my tools etc. Then I purchased the L48. ofcourse all the garage doors are 7' high so my machine wood not enter!! I used the tractor yesterday and did not cover it for it was late, It rained last night, first time and I WAS NOT TO HAPPY!! So I just completed a three sided structure with gable roof behind the garage with a wood frame and tarps to cover roof and 2 sides, existing garage forms 3rd side, (about $150 in materials). It sure beats having to cover it with a tarp, what a pain in the ass.
I will need to get a Building permit to put up a more permanent structure but this will do for now, let it rain. I am very happy with the tractor.

Thanks for the post lucerne,I have a loader so that will act as the counter weight? I see alot of posts about the tilt andturn kits. Does any one know how much they cost? will I need additional hydralics at rear for this set up? Currently I have a backhoe on back, and Cat-1 3 point hitch.

Thanks kwschumm I figured that the manual sets up service intervals for a reason.
Although I have heard the same rec'd from other peoples dealers on this site. I will spend a little now for a longer tractor life down the road.
That is one good lookin machine almost to pretty to drive. Does the box blade from Frontier work well or have you seen others you might rec'd.

I would like to thank all the responses I received on the which tractor is better JD 110 verses the Kubota L 48. After many hours of comparing and bouncing back and forth between them both I am going to purchase an L 48, The question I have does any one have any recomendations as to which options it should be purchased with. The dealer says it will come with a skid steer loader bucket and a quick connect hoe and work lights. I would really appreiciate any input. Thank You and what a great site
