I was thinking that it had to be a Fountain of some sort. What are you running triple 572's? Bet you can just literally watch the gas gauge go down when the loud levers are all the way forward. What kinda drives you running????? You gotta post some pics! Bet I ever got out my rig was 46 mph and that was with all the passengers farting, flapping their arms, tail wind, and the fish pushing us. Only did that one time just to check out a new prop. I usually just cruise at about 3200 rpm and that is just fine and relaxing and she does about 28 mph. I run a 16" x 16" aluminum prop and that is about the limit before over propping. Anything over 50 where there are collidable objects in or on the water it too much white knuckle boating for me. Got enough of the white knuckle stuff in the Army flying helicopters. Having over 3,800 shaft hp. strapped to your butt has some interesting moments over time. :-O

As Mark mentioned we run home heating oil filters. They cost something under $10 each, and we get them by the case from our fuel distributor. Like equipment dealers, it pays to deal with someone who knows their business and how to look after clients. We have an arrangement with our supplier and he knows what our 'static inventory' levels are, when they bring the fuel they also check and re-supply (if required) all the other consumables they supply us, filters, grease, oil, etc. It's a really handy arrangement but hardly required for the average user.

I was just talking earlier today with me right-hand man (literally now) John, they just finished the June month end, totals for all equipment (trucks excluded) for the month of June 2003, 4,320 operating hours, 25,200 litres (6,667 US gallons) of diesel, 86 oil changes, 21 air filters, 13 tire repairs, 2 new tires, 2 new rims, and 1 new seat.

If you specify 'cold weather' filters, or tell them it is for an 'outside' tank it will probably be a 5 micron filter, however in warmer areas it may be hard to find them.

Best of luck.

I definitely second the smooth flat surface when removing and installing; otherwise there is gonna be LOTS of cussing involved. I use a long rock prying bar to align pins and links.

Kasey,

Are you looking for a rotary cutter (bush hog), or a finish mower? I have a 287 (7') bushhog rotary cutter that I use to knock down 3 - 4 ft. grass in my pasture a couple times a year. My 50pto hp tractor handles this pretty easily, but I cannot imagine trying to use this cutter in high grass with my 30 hp B7800 Kubota. Sounds to me like you are close to the limit with your 5' cutter.

The mention of the bush hog brings to mind a little trick that is common to most 3pth mowers, and some other 3pth-mounted implements which require 'contour following' in order to work effectively, it will eliminate the most common cause of bent hitch hardware. If you don't already know about it, here it is again.

When using any 3pth-mounted implement such as a bush hog, replace the normal upper link with a stout piece of chain the same length (or just alittle longer) as the upper link. This will allow the implement to rotate about the two lower pins without any resistance, which could exert enough force to bend the linkage, while still retaining the ability to lift the implement normally.

This is really handy on uneven ground or when crossing shallow gullys like ditches.

Best of luck.

Does any one have a good used working hydraulic pump for a Long 360 diesel tractor w/front end loader and rear lift? Or, know where I can purchase one.

I feel really dumb, I don't know the answer to your question "I'll have to be told if it has a draft or position control hitch and if the hydraulics is an open or closed system type." How can I tell? Also, i have not up graded my membership yet and I can not see the entire relys yet.

Rob -
Everything previously said here, OUCH!, I agree with whole-heartedly. I still on occasion present myself with the 'bota back problem, as I have presently been in a solid fiberglass back brace for nearly two weeks.(don't think it's from the 'bota, but riding an orange bronco doesn't help)

I have had gear units right along, and last year took advantage of a HST unit for my own. Though both drives have their place in the market without question, the HST must be gotten used to for directional "snappiness". As you cruise along mowing the lawn, I typically run at about 1800 - 2000 revs, I still forget on occasion that the directional foot pedal is very easily pitched in the opposite direction causing the sudden stop and jostling of the inerds.

As stated before, lower the tire pressure, increase your revs, and operate the tranny pedal with "respect", bearing in mind that the higher the throttle, the potentially "jerkier" the tractor may perform with quick or abrupt directional changes - engage slower - give the spinals a "break".

OK, I got into this chair...but I can't get out! OUCH! Help!

That is good info Art, thanks.
I usually run about 1/2 + throttle in low anyway. Hard to go much faster with rough ground and small wheels.

Kubota really needs to put a tach on this model.

Cutter;
My pressure washer appears to work in a similar manner. I also have a Honda Engine. I hold the trigger down for a minute and suddenly it kicks in and supplies pressure. I have only used it lately for washing the truck etc. so have not fussed as it always does kick in. I have not run it with soap for a long time so it may be lack of lubrication?

They are very much the same. The front end loaders are normally not removeable like they might be on a farm tractor and they do use a heavier loader which might make the front end heavy on soft soil.

Kubota's equipment that we have been selling is definitly the lowest we have ever seen in repair incident. The old M's we've seen in this area are still good reliable units today.

Cutter, production began in 1979 on your trade. Trade ins are to say the least usually very dissapointing as the dealer must be able to profit from selling your trade in. It is far more likely that what you get for a trade in will be predicated by how much you are spending more so than the actual value of the gun..... to some extent. You can try going to a local book store and looking up the value but take this with a grain of salt as most usually do not sell at those prices. For a trade in divide it in half :( Williams gunsight has a trade in valur book if anyone has one.

Charlie, It really does pay to get a couple of opinions. CPA's are a bargain in my book. One thing to remember is that tax law is often vague. I have a fairly large corp and I never mix my personal tax CPA with my corp tax. My partners dont follow suit. It is critical to remember the final decesion is always yours and you give the final stamp of approval when you sign those returns. You do not want someone knocking on your door in 20 years talking fines/penalties and interest. One example I can offer is that when my wife and I met we both had homes, so double and triple everything, beds, tvs, furniture. We moved all this stuff around for several years and then started donateing it to the salvation army. I am talking like 10k worth of stuff a year. My last accountant depriciated everything untill we came up with about 25% of the purchase price for a deduction which sounded fair to me. I changed offices this past year and the new guy says, hay, claim 100% the IRS never audits this, looking more than a little peekid at that he also offered 50%, 25% or 10%. Needless to say I chose a much smaller number. It is just not worth saveing a net of only a couple dollars to walk way out in that grey area. Like I always tell my CPA, I dont mind getting audited but I damn well better not loose !

Another thing to consider is the larger tires and higher clearance on the 4115 can handle rough terrain a lot better than the small tires on the 2210

According to my dealer the programs have changed. He claims that you can start payments in April 2004 or you can have an interest rate 1% lower. the only program that is the same is the 0% for 36 months.
