    Shipping a tractor

    IMHO THIS TRACTOR PUTS JD TO SHAME!

    the first 25 post have said it all... very nice, great quality, fantastic to use, popular on other side of world, etc... The one thing not yet said is downtime.... JD and Kubota have the shortest commercial downtime ratings in our area (probably in N.A.). Both dealers around me deliver parts 24...

    Friend had a close call

    the hair on the back of my neck stood up thinking about the 10's or even 1,000's of innocents passed by during the 25 mile trip that get to go home unscathed. kiss your family people as you never know what may take you out.

    Need some suggestions on how to fix water getting into my new building.

    Fixing drainage on outside of building is my preferred / first thought but if you can't an inside solution like a u-drain may work for you? I didn't see mention of a budget but retro-fitting a slot drain into an existing concrete floor is very easy. Drain into a sump pit and pump out is a very...
