Topic

As a also nonmechanic I wonder if they use a sealant on the fuel filter gaskets to prevent even the smallest air leak as that would stop the engine. It must be that or the material they use holds very well. On my Kubotas sometimes they are hard to remove and I always only tighten hand tight. Makes me think it is the material used or combination of.

Lets see manuals writen in common sense? Are we not talking the impossible when VCR manuals have yet to get there? Between translations and laws doubt it will get much better.

Dennis,
I for one am very pleased with the current format of topics. I find the current ones show at the top of the list and the list is much more complete than the way it was.

The one thing you mentioned that amazes me it took me about 7 years to find this site. Boy what I was missing.
Thank you for TP.

And then after all of the real careful measuring you take the 100 pound kid off the tractor and the 300 pound guy gets on after he fills up the emppty fuel tank and he does not understand why the tractor handles so differently.

With the weight of some CUTs that might be a noticable change.

Ron,

I have a B 2710. I believe it would require glow plugs in 90 degree temp if the engine is cold (well air temp). I hold my glow plugs for an honest count of about 5 seconds and it works for me at any temp. Low 40's would be cold here, ere is cold here. If you have your throttle at total idle if may help to raise it just a little for cranking.

Don't know about the voltage you are getting to your glow plugs.

I like the wording they use at Bulletproof:
"Originally developed for military combat vehicles to seal bullet wounds".

Had never thought about "bullet wounds" in tires before. Wonder if it would work on "bullet wounds" in people? LOL

wingwiper,

Your question:"How many drive bys would ther be if them bastards knew people would shoot back?"

One, with good aim?

South Carolina passed a law a few years ago which requires a training class and license and you can wear a concealed handgun. Then businesses were given the right to not allow them in their business. Sort of seems fair and responable on all sides.

It was pointed out or asked if a person with a conceal carry permit was in a business that did not allow his weapon there and he was shot would that business be libel? To date that has not happened I am aware of.

SC still allows a not licensed carring of handgun (loaded) in your vechilce as long as in closed gloved compartment or such as far as I know. NC did at one time but the gun had to be in plain view, opposite of SC law. Guess who was often in SC courts on law violation. These laws could be changed.

I use a Stihl that was purchased by my father in law and I would say is okay. He also purchased a Shindaiwa chainsaw and it is by far a better machine than the Stihl blower.

I know a Stihl dealer that dropped that line for I think Redman and the reason was the golf courses preferred the Redman said it was better machine. If the other source will not work for you I think he would ship. I have dealt with him and been very pleased. He is in South Carolina.

Watch windspeeds. Some give it at end of the tube and some before it hits a tube. Of course any tube slows down the air.

I forgot to add my sister lives in Illinois and she has same kind of dumb deal there. She ended up with law suit threat and they acknowlege they were way off base on her value. High of course.

She found a person in the tax office that helped her in her battle. Rare.

I do disagree with the thought we are paying those taxes at least in our state due to our voting for such and such. Our county loves to close a school and let it fall in and then sell it while our other part of the county is building offices when they could have used the too small closed schools. Our school board is very hidden in our county. Very hidden.

Art,
Many years ago I was at a tool auction. (First and last.)To me they were on the edge of being all junk. But during the auction they brought up a set of tools. The auctioneer stopped and said....these are junk. Do not buy them to use. Buy them to loan. They sold all of them if memory is correct. Could be your father in law was a very wise man.
I appreciate your experience very much.

Greg and SG,

I had the Farm Pro and Farm Trac missed up. The Farm Trac dealerhsip I know does not sell the Farm Trac compact so he may not be aware of them being made in Korea as that is not his product line.

Whether I get a product line missed up or if all are built in China or such, does not affect how I respect anyone.

BTY, I have only owned Red and Orange. Using the pumpkin process I may get a green one, one day. Wait, have a green Gator. That is enough green.

Hick,

Have you checked to see if your state has a lemon law? Of course if there is no one to stand behind the equipment not sure it would be of any value.

Not agreeing with anyone here or disagreeing. But have not seen anyone post they own the same tractor and it is great. Also have not seen anyone say they own the same and they agree. I have no idea of any on this brand. Have never heard of it.

I will say I have worked my Kubotas and previous Case hard and never had the problems Hick said his gave him.

Mike,

To me Kubota's manuals contain some very good info. The ones that came with my tractors were for the most part very simple to understand.
