Seems like everybody and the brother and sister has a key to the power company locks in my area. The power company claims they need to have ready access to fix any problems with the power lines. I can understand this but each lock needs to have its own individual key and the power company needs to have a competent key and lock custodian to administer an EFFECTIVE key and lock control program.

Mark, I have been a extreme snorer for years. Even when I was at my fittest and trim as a young man. Have you had a sleep study done? I strongly recommend it. My problem got really bad after I returned from Desert Storm and I would stop breathing altogether while sleeping. The violent and sobbering results of choking in my sleep scared my wife and I to death. I got a sleep study and the Army issued me a CPAP machine which made a HUGE difference in my quality of life and sleep. Waking up with pounding headaches was tremendously improved and I awoke feeling much more rested. If you haven't, you may want to look into this. Sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure, heart problems, and many other symptoms.

This is a pretty old post. I think one option we may have all over looked is: was the crank case over filled with oil?

I was trying to remember the other cab manu. name besides Curtis...Sims...thanks for the knock on the noodle.

Does Kubota offer the cab alone as a separate purchasable item for the 3030?

30hp might be considered a bit much for 5 acres, but I found the gear and range spacing on my 254 unsuitable for working my hillsides. The entire 200 series started out life as an 18hp tractor, beefing up a little here and a little there over time. The 30 hp Jinma was actually built as a 30 hp machine. Even though it may be a tad large for 5 acres, I think you'd like it better - and it will probably live longer.<br>
<br>
when replacing the 254 I skipped the 300 series altogether, and jumped straight to a 45hp tractor. In hindsight I should have done that in the first place, but I learned a lot about JM254s in the process.<br>

With all the goings-on in the world today, and all the reports that we read of the number one, two, three,etc ways the public is dropping off, brings to light an interesting read of late.<br>
I thought it would be prudent to share...<br>
<br>
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:<br>
During a BBQ a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ - had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. It only takes a minute to read this-<br>
<br>
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed an getting to the patient within 3 hours which is tough. Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.<br>
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:<br>
1. *Ask the individual to SMILE.<br>
2. *Ask the person to RAISE BOTH ARMS.<br>
3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today) <br>
If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people you can bet that at least one life will be saved. BE A FRIEND AND SHARE THIS ARTICLE WITH AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE, you could save their lives <br>

I pile all my leaves,grass clippings, garden waste in a pile with the fel. This is all I use in My raised beds. I do not turn it or mess with it in anyway. I have plenty of time. Wal-mart usually has bags of soil for around $1 this is great stuff. I cover my beds when not in use with a cover that does not let in sunlight and it kills the weed seeds. The manure is great stuff but will have weed seeds. Keep water close at hand raised beds drain faster than ground level. I use cypruss mulch after planting weeding is a waste of time better to stop them.

duke8444 -
The B8200 was one of the first of the CUT B series lines, that offered power steering. Unfortunately (?), for the smaller brothers of this unit, B4200,5200,6200,7200, they came thru without the luxury of power steering. The bigger brother yet, B9200, also offered ps.

Although the break through in ps with the CUTS is well received (unless you want arms the size of watermelons), "stonrg-arm steering" really was not that severe so long as one would be rolling, or, in a wide open area utilizing the FEL.
If one found themselves in a close area with a full bucket, you would soon realize the benefits of the power steering.
As a foot note to this, the smaller units, had an add on optional ps unit available, driven off the nose of the engine with a pump shaft mounted thru the grill, as there was no room within the engine compartment).

Unlike the newer units of B7500 vintage (as an example), the older hydrostatic units used a common hydraulic pump for all hydraulic applications of the given tractor. That said, the hydraulic system would be called a priority system, where by the HST would be #1 on the fluid flow priority list, the loader would be #2, the power steering would be #3, etc. On occasion, one would notice a starvation as the pump would want to play catch up.

Todays models, utilize twin pumps, so that more than sufficient flow is available for all of the potential tractors applications, and without the "priority" hydraulic layout/design.

I still have two of the B5200 units with FEL's. Honestly, never had any REAL issue by not having power steering, so long as I was rolling with the loader full.(and would not get rid of them for the world)

The tractor itself, as Art mentions, only came with a three place hr meter. Take a real close look at the tractor (inspect it thoroughly) for any signs that the meter read could be inaccurate. I would find it VERY hard to believe that it only has 325 hours on it. Otherwise, it sounds like it could be worth the money by your description.

Actually guys, I agree with it except for the last part which is about slander on the net. As I think about it, I can agree with it to, to a point.
First let's think about this. You have prowlers who pretend to be people who they aren't and they sucker Young Girls to Motels and then Rape them and sometimes Kill them, now I already know that the IP Address can be tracked to just about anyone, but that doesn't always label a person, Imean if they are using a comuter at an Internet Cafe and registered from there with a phoney addy etc. So I see nothing wrong with before I am able to post messages I must provide ID to the Provider, that info would be kept in confidendence until supenoed. I don't have a problem, Christ the banks hold more info on you than that and they have your money as well, or I should say they have given youpaper in place of Gold and then went one step further by issuing worthless paper in place of the paper money that was in place of the Gold.
Now, I can also somewhat see that iif I chose to slander a Tractor Company on this site and cause him tolose moeny and business and thus it is proven that my claims were false and yet many peopl ebeleived me, such as Chinese Resturants serve dog etc and it has caused harm to someone, why shouldn't I be held liable. Does the internet mean Stealth? totally? and that anything goes and no guidlines and free-for-all and victim beware etc etc etc Maybe the Bill needs some more work but I can see the purpose.
Ok call me weird and I do NOT see any connection with using Public Cumpters and being liable for your statements as any loss in any Consitutional Rights or freedoms, I would really need to have which article that would pretain to, Is yelling "Fire" in a crowded movie theater when there isn't really a Fire an infringement on Freedom of Speech. Come on, think!
OK Iam the Bad guy again, someone else's turn now.....
