If you grease on the recommended intervals any #2 high "PRESSURE" grease will work for your loader and any pivoting points. for high speed rotating parts such as mower spindle you will want a high temp grease. Grease has to meet certain standards to reach each grade so buy the most expensive #2 high temp grease will not on most cases make any difference than buying a lower priced grease of the same grade. You will probably use more grease than oil so there is in my opinion no need to go broke buying it. Just follow the manufactures time charts.

To clarify Yooper is half right. The 48 and 55 are both gear drive and hydro drive in available yet. But the 55 is available with hydro electric shuttle shift and the 48 is not. For only 4 acres you are really pushing it with the 40 if I were you I would be looking at the 33. Are you looking for mid or rear mounted mower? I can tell you that if you are looking for mid the 40 is a real bear to get set and leveled to mow a nice looking lawn do to its size of 84" and the linkage used to support it. The 33 is relatively easy and you have many deck options, 60" and 72" side discharge and 72" rear discharge.

I did several rooms a few years ago with Armstrong SwiftLock. The square rooms were a piece of cake, hallway was a PITA. I did a 16 by 14 in one weekend including moving and demo. Heavy falling objects tend to crack laminate. I'm pleased with how well the floor has held up.

What is a flail mower you say, hmmmm, this could be interesting.

I guess the best way to describe them is to say they are very much like a rototiller, except where a tiller has curved tines, a flail cutter has many small knives connected to the rotating bar by a single link of chain.

In operation the the knives are sun around on the shaft at a terrific speed, they have a tip speed of about 9,000 FPM, anything they contact gets the Ginsu treatment, there's just a million tiny chips left behind.

They will NOT slice through a sapling as a rule, but they do defoliate and strip the bark killing the tree. IMHO this is a better deal since you don't have a tiny jagged stump poking up waiting to get your tires or whatever else either.

As I explained, they are a lot more money, but they cant turn a piece of debris into a missle like a rotary can either.

Best of luck.

My neighbor is trying to sell me his rotary cutter. The name of the side of the cutter says "CORNEA CLIPPER". Does anyone have any knowledge about who may have made this mower? <br>

Thanks, I took it apart, found the large piston. No grime, fluid clear. I didnt disasseble the valved bolted underneath the lid below the piston, but operated it and put it back together, it will move now, but wont lift any weight. I will take it apart totally this weekend.

You may not have to cut it. Are you using quick hitch /Pats easy change or anything? You shouldn't have any problem cutting the shaft with a hacksaw but would be faster with power band saw. Measure twice so you don't cut too short.

Back a while for my entrance, I was instructed that via conduit, the depth of the dig could be less at 18" vs 24" for direct burial. Further regarding stones, DB required 6" of clean sand top and bottom. Just my .02 worth.

There is a updated thermostat that has the "jiggle pin" set outboard a little to gain clearance.Some people cut them off and have no problems...there is not enough flow getting thru that little hole to affect proper cooling.

Murf, I think that is a 5/8 inch hole as you said. I'll have to check it out. The sad part is I just put the old blades back on the deck (after sharpening) and the deck back on the tractor.
The measurement that Gator wanted on my blades was not the 24.5 inch length but a "Diagonal" measurement. I had given them the 24.5 inch length as stated in my owner's manual, along with 3 inch width and .25 inch thickness. As I said, their response was "We just don't have Gator Blades available that is for your specs." I think they're getting tired of me bothering them every 6 months asking if they have blades for my deck. Thanks Murf, Steve.

The service man came yesterday as planned, he spent about 4 hours working on various connections and noticed a few other things that needed adjustment. My float position on the loader was hard to get into and out of float, so he took it all apart and made some adjustments, changed the pressure on my hydrolic value to bring it back to factory spec.
We had about 45 minutes waiting for some parts to be delivered so he took the time to go over the whole tractor and give me a better understanding of how things work. A very worthwile experience and all under warranty except for the travel time. What a great dealer.
I used the loader for about 30 minutes last night and everything was dry, no more leaks.
Thanks for the advice to get it done now.

I used it last night, the vibration went away when I lowered it a bit. Worked great. Had the existing garden done in 15min.. It would have taken 2 or more hours with the walk behind.

It seems the gear box is in the way of getting a deeper till, I don't think 8" depth is possibly.

Thanks Art. I can't wait to see him behind the wheel of that big tractor. I really liked the salesman there at Franklin Kubota. He was pretty straight up with us and I think it's going to be a long and fruitful relationship for both parties. Thanks to all for your input!

The syphon system has been around since the beginning of the water cooled engine. It basically works from heat rising exchanging the fluid. For a heating problem my first area to look at would be for obstructions of the radiator and cooling system. For it to just start out of no where with good normal maintence it could be a colapsed hose where the interior liner is not letting it flow thru or it could be a potential head gasket failure or something of that nature which normally would give a discoloration of the antifreeze as well as small bubbles surfacing on the top of the radiator when filled to the neck with the engine running.

I don't think the chains have to be too aggressive. I know some people don't even use chains while snowblowing.

It's for when I am snowblowing, in the few hilly places in my driveway and my neigbor's driveway that have given me problems in the past (with two wheel drive garden tractors).
I just need something thats going to grip better than rubber on ice.
These two link ladder chains are also know as road chains.
If I have to, I'll put road chains on the front too, but I don't think I'll need that. The folks that suggested these road chains, haven't put chains on the front yet.
At some point down the road when this new Kubota is paid off, I plan to have an out building with a gravel floor so more aggressive chains won't be an issue, if it comes to that.
But for the next few years its either park this new Kubota in the garage or out in the elements.
Thank you for your response,
I notice you're from Maine too, what a heck of a winter we just had.

Sounds more like your base under the Blacktop is not to the standard it needs to be. Problem: trucks in the spring will destroy any drive built for cars.

Get a contractor with a profiler and they can recommend a virgin aggregate with an emulsion or calcium to restore base. That will give you a rejunivated asphalt with out the cost of removal and replacement.

The equipment is large so you need to have some distance to make it pay. Smaller contractors may have some smaller stuff. I do not recall seeing much out there.

You will be able to use oil and stone or seal coat it.

It also sounds like the drainage in the low spot needs to get improved or raise the level of the drive.
