Those 3 point turnbuckles will last lots longer if you use locknuts top and bottom. Without them the constant movement at the threads will wear the threads out. I love Kubota's!

 

[The Fife Plooman]

After tomorows trial I will take stock on what is needed.

That is a very interesting plow have not seen one like that before, the share looks small what size is it?

 

[The Fife Plooman]

Thanks Noel I see its what is called a Scotch bottom something new to me what's the reasoning with the type? Another interest new to me I never knew Fiskars mage plows all I've ever known is scissors and axes so where are Fiskars plows made &sold and used?

 

[Propane1]

The Scotch Bottom is what is on my Ferguson 2 sod plow, 10” plows. The ground is slowly turned over instead of throwen over is what I get out of it Gary.
I don’t know much about the Fiskars plows. This book is mainly on how to plow with their equipment.

Looks like the R type is closer to most used here in USA.

Also a slat bottom that didn't see mentioned. IH made one in a 3-16 pull type trip. Not sure what the real purpose was but we turned a lot of ground with it. Believe it was made for sod or clay type soils that would stick to a smooth mole board.

The good the bad and OH sh--t the rtactor and plough have potential but the clutch is goosed But we will live to fight another day

 

[Propane1]

Always something with a new to you used machine. Always some thing to fix or make better.
Nice looking ploughing thou. For first time out with it. I’m sure you will get it dialed in.
I’ve been a year and a half working on my Case 446 to see it blow snow. Snow storm today, so tomorrow maybe it will see some action.

Sorry the clutch is shot! Shouldn't be too difficult to replace and hopefully not too expensive for parts. We've had to replace a few clutches in our large Massey cab fitted tractors, and man those are a huge job to do! Hope I never need to do another. All the clutches in my tractors are good, and I'm sure not planning on abusing them.

Hi had another SH-T day Ordered whole clutch kit for Kubota B7000 tractor It was fitted in record time would not work.Measured tried and tried but would not work after measuring found it to be nearly but not quite Fitted old clutch plate in new preasure plate worked fine find picture of old and new and spot the difference obviosly wrong plate provided New one ordered. and Email send with old and new pictures

 

[KennyP]

Looks like the center 'hub' sticks up higher on the old one. Did they mount the plate with the springs too high? Hard to tell from those pics.

 

[The Fife Plooman]

Hi they fitted as out of the packet Picture of pressure plate that was taken out as they sent the wrong plate we fitted the old one with new presure plates it is wrking fine it will to to keep it mobile until proper one is delivered to say the cluth was worn is an understatement
