Sorry, I don't know anything about this machine. I was just taking a stab in the dark.

I just check my TC33D and when the fuel is in the run position the pit-cock is at the (6) six-o�clock position (down). When I need to turn the fuel off I move the pit-cock to the (9) nine o�clock position. (To the left)

The pit-cock valve turns very easy no force needed.

I don't have any issue with your hill for sidehilling. My hill is steaper and I've sidehilled it. I'd say mine is borderline and I'm more comfortable going up and down verses sidehilling.

I also picked up on the lack of the use of the ROPS. Man, I'd hate to hear you had a bad accident that could have been safer had the ROPS been up. My shop door is too low to have my ROPS up on my 4310. So I use the back door in summer which has enough clearance. Winter is another story.

Also, my ROPS is a flaming POS for how Deere built it. The holes are completely misaligned and require a hammer, punch and lots of grease to remove or install the pins to fold it up or down. So if yours is like mine, I can understand why you leave it down. I need to buy a large drill bit and ream out my holes so I can use the ROPS quickly and easily like it's supposed to be.

One thing to consider is the resale on the kubota unit will be much higher. Also kubota has three year power train warranty not sure about the fergy.

If it is posible to get several loads of rock free top soil, that would be your best option. Spread the top soil for the seed bed of your new lawn. For the rough established lawn, spread the new top soil in the low spots. Then you can overseed or let the existing grass fill back in on its own.

The paint shop near me is owned by a painter and his wife, arthritis set in and he had to find another way to make a living.

He has a bunch of 2' x 2' white posterboard sheets. If you're not sure about a particular colour he will mix up a few ounces of it, paint the card and you can then take it home and see it in the room and lighting you propose for it.

It sure makes it easy picking colours.

The painting itself is still a PITA though, LOL.

Best of luck.

Be sure you used DIESEL rated (CF or better) oil. Usually 15w40 but I suppose now days you can get it in a 10w30.

REmember these engines are old technology, todays lighter oils are designed for closer tolerance fitting parts in moder engines and reduced drag for better fuel milage. heavier oil cushions parts better...IMHO.

Here's the way I see it now that I have a little more info. on what you want to do with the machine.

Grass - it will do the job, but just. As was mentioned already, for purely grass cutting, get a pure grass cutter. It's a popular misconception that bush-hogging takes more power than cutting a lawn. In reality it's about the same, if the grass is lush & healthy maybe even harder to cut the lawn. When grass grows tall it becomes thin and spindly, you cut it way down near the ground where it is the easiest, below the leafy part. When you cut a lawn you are always cutting the thickest, leafiest part. It is also the wetest and heaviest. It tends to clump up in the deck further loading the cutter.

Chores - again, it will do the job, but again, just barely.

Snow - the loader will do the job, but you won't win any races. Forget about a blower, you don't have enough machine for that. A blade maybe, but again, it's going to be marginal.

All in all, it will do the job. But don't expect to be done in any short time.

Best of luck.

I strongly agreee with Brokenarrow. Ag lime is cheap compared to the bag type lime but a royal pain to spread without the truck or a lime spreader. Most farmers around here just have the truck come out and spread it for them as the effort and cost is just not worth it.

You can learn a lot by talking to more than one local dealer. Before I finally bought my used Kubota I talked to two dealers about new and used Kubotas. The larger dealer, who seems to have lots of business, lied to me on several counts about my used tractor model/capacities/etc. and wouldn't write a price quote for a new one down anywhere.

The smaller dealer (and 20 miles farther away) was upfront, quoted prices in writing, and offered to service whatever model orange tractor I bought used.

They have been good to their word. The tractor has been in once to have the tires unfilled and some minor glitches fixed. I love it when you pick the tractor up and the first thing the dealer says is "we re-used the old parts and saved you some money".

Bottom line: there are good local dealers and there are bad local dealers who are not worth doing business with. I bought a used low hours tractor that I found on the internet and that was 800 miles away (I flew down to TN to check it out) and it was delivered for $1.00/loaded mile and it has worked perfectly including the loader and three implements. And I saved a bundle.

I've not had the problems you have had with any of the Kubota products fortunately. I'm glad to see that you made out well with your problems which says a lot for them.

I think 4" is a standard length but I could be wrong. I've never seen one longer in that size. It's probably standard for a reason though. My guess is that longer pins would be at risk of shearing or bending under the designed load of a Cat-0 implement. I don't know what your application is, but assuming you are building a custom implement most people only think about static loading and forget about dynamic loading, instantaneous (shock) loading, fatigue stress, vibration, etc. The type of steel the pin is made out of can greatly affect its load capacity too. Sorry, I will step down from my engineering soap box now. ;)

Broken, ha ha! No - this jerk is crazy enough to do the same back to me. All has been quiet on the neighbor front for the past few days. I hope it continues. Grassgod and Dennis, I agree. I have to keep it cool here and see what happens. I watered my trees tonight, was out there over the weekend. He taunts me but I don't reply. As long as it stays this way I am fine. I just don't want any more damage to my property. As my laywer recommended, I let him have this minor victory. If I put things in perspective I have already won the war. <br>
<br>
I don't know if I explained this - but this guy (after he dug across my property line) applied for a variance to build a 2 story addition next to my back line. I fought it for 8 months at town hall, lost in a split vote after the board of appeals changed a member on the board, with 40 of 44 neighbors supporting me with a petition (other 4 were business men who didn't want to ruffle feathers). That is when I took control of my property and this neighbor then built his addition on the other end of the house.<br>
<br>
So the addition went where I wanted it and I lost the battle but won the war. So I have to be willing to suffer some indignation. This is a small price to pay for the property value I saved. Hopefully this guy will get over it someday.<br>

I got this link from a couple of sharp guys on another website. I thought I would share the knowledge in case anyone else had a question about this issue. Hope this helps someone that does not have a ROPS and did not realize they were available.

"I really like three point hitch ballast opposed to the loaded tires or just bolt on wheel weights when possible. "

Art, I agree. I poured a concrete 3PT counter weight about a month ago when I poured my driveway. It weighs about 1300 lbs. What a difference in stability when I have weight in the loader! I can actually fill the bucket and work it to it's full potential. Plus the extra rear wheel traction means I don't have to ram the pile to get a full bucket.

I ended up buying a 3pt drawbar, leaving the ends stick out of the form and pouring the concrete around it. At $20 it was much easier than fabricating something from scratch.
