Short Version of the Post: Are there any reasons to avoid either the automatic or the "new" 6-speed in the new Dodge 2500 and 3500 trucks? Details... It appears that new Dodge diesel truck prices are the best that they've been in a while. These prices (33K-34K for a nicely equipped quad cab...

\"We cannot proceed\" Message Occasionally I get a "We cannot proceed" message on some of the threads (usually one or two threads over a 7-day period). The attachment shows two screen captures over-layed on top of one another showing the message that I get as well as the post I was trying to...

I'm not sure how everyone else feels, but lately I have had a hard time keeping up with all of the posts on this site. All in all, I suppose that that is a good problem to have. In years past I could spend about 10-to-20 minutes scanning a day's worth of posts and replying to the ones where I...

I hope that I can explain my options in a way that can be understood. <font color="red"> My current setup </font> (1) Kubota B2910 w/ Kubota FEL & 72'MMM (2) Kubota B2150 w/ Kubota FEL & 72" rear discharge rear mower I do a lot of finish mowing, and want to have two tractors (his-n-hers), and...

I've been thinking about making this purchase since I saw this item one time last summer, so I'm not sure that I would call it an "impulse" buy. On the other hand, it is more of an impulse than I am used to. On the way home from our 1st East TN TBNer meeting Saturday I stopped by a Lawn &...

I've seen advertisements for these amphibious 6x6 vehicles since the early 1970s, yet have never seen one in person. My impression is that they would be a lot of fun but a maintenance nightmare, but there is absolutely no basis for my "impression". I've wondered how they would operate in a...

Every now and then I get the following message when trying to look at some posts: There was a problem looking up the post in our database. I am now getting the error message when trying to look at the post "Price on Kubota B2150HSD" that was posted by me (Kelvin), when I try to access the post...

Does anyone have problems receiving the TBN E-Newsletter after they have signed up for it? I have signed up on more than one occasion, and it seems like I may have received one or two over the past few years. How often do they come out? Today (1/17/2004) I got an email message from TBN...

Hello all, I am curious about getting a GPS primarily to play with in the car/truck (/tractor???). Based upon online specifications that I have seen I am considering either the Garmin GPS III or Garmin GPS V. The GPS V seems to sell for $399 at several places, with EBAY prices ranging from...

DISCLAIMER: This post is intended to let people know of the availability of a new product (a least to my knowledge it is new; I haven't seen one of these until the past month...). I have just purchased and installed this canopy and this is my first report on it. Tractor Supply Company (TSC)...

I sold my old Kubota B7100 (...old faithful...) to some friends a couple of months ago. The wife of the couple was slightly hesitant to use the tractor at first, but then started to like it a lot, and thus started using it a lot. She turned it over today while dragging a tree stump up a small...

It used to be that when someone responded to a post of mine, I would get a copy of that response via email. Now, I no longer receive these posts. I see where I can mark a thread as a "Favorite" and get ALL responses to that particular thread, but I no longer see an option to get responses to...

To all, At times I consider upgrading my older gear drive B7100 to a BX22 or BX2200, with finish mowing being the primary task. I have a B2150 HSD with FEL for larger tasks. A Kubota brand backhoe for my B2150 is more than $7000, while for less than $7000 you can add a backhoe and FEL to the...

Regarding ethics, how does one decide what is right or wrong? Info Note: This is a spin-off topic from the “You might be a liberal if...” thread which partly evolved to “Was Jesus a liberal or a conservative?”. This thread is intended to be a stand-alone thread. I have pondered this question...

What do I need to know about this tiller? I normally don't like to buy anything that I'm not pretty familiar with. But I did it here. I have very little experience with tillers in general and know absoutely nothing about this particular model. I searched this site for "Kubota Tiller" before...

I'm trying to get a reality check on advice I gave someone. A couple of weeks ago there was a gentleman interested in buying a new Kubota (his first tractor) and asked me how the depreciation was. I really didn't put a lot of thought into it, and gave him this short-notice answer: Tractors...

This is "Off Topic" but not "Just for Fun"... Main Questions: (1) Which type tire is better for a dually truck which carries a load, bias ply or radial? (2) Are there narrower dually rims that would provide less clearance than standard dually rims? Details: I have a 1974 Ford F350 Dually...

I have seen this topic come up in various other posts, but don't remember if it ever came up as a stand-alone topic before. A recent post inspired me to start this post as a dedicated topic. When I was shopping for a used Kubota with FEL I avoided looking at Kubotas with off-brand FELs. Right...

I was just browsing the Classified ads section of this board and noticed that very few people place their location (or even their part of the country) in their ads. Since this board is viewed by people all across the United States (and even several people from across the globe) the location of...

After making a post on the board, I usually update the list of posts by hitting the "Last hour" link. On the new 2002 updated board, the "last hour" link works the first time, but does nothing on subsequent attempts. Anytime I click on the "Go" link I get the following scripting error...

The situation that I am about to describe is like finding a brand new 1998 automobile or truck on the lot in late 2001; how much of a price reduction would make it a good deal? Note that this discussion is mainly for academic purposes only; I already have a B2150 and wouldn’t mind upgrading my...

I couldn't resist the temptation to show my new Kubota hauler. Time will tell if this is temporary or permanent transportation. There was nothing wrong with my 16' double axle trailer; it's just that I was in the market for a small dump truck (preferably a flat bed dump) to use for various...

In "User Profiles" every registered user has the option of having various topics emailed to them on a regular basis. Classified Ads are not an option. I wonder if anyone who elects to receive these emails would be interested in having the "Classified Ads" as an option? Just wondering. Kelvin

This may have been posted here before, but I just noticed the "Gray Market" link on the Kubota web site that has a general description of Kubota gray market tractors, a link with the specific Kubota model numbers of the gray tractors, and a "Tips on How to tell a Gray Market tractor" link...

To all, Rather than go back to an older thread, I'll start a new one to finish up this topic. When correct 4wd tractor front-rear tire size pairings are unknown or unavailable, I have come up with a simple test to determine if questionable substitute tire sizes are acceptable AFTER they are...

Summary: I am having a very difficult time finding a correct pair of turf tires for my B7100. I need 20.5x8.00-10 or possibly 21.0x8.00-10. Discussion... A while back I purchased a set of used ones which had 20x8.00-10 tires on the front. According to sales brochures and owner's manual the...

After putting it off for almost two years, I have decided to go ahead and buy a 72" rear discharge 3-pt finish mower. It will be used on my Kubota B2150. I'll finish mow about 4 acres, mostly gently sloping with a small area slightly steeper. I am currently using my older B7100 with mid-mower...

I have reasonably steep slopes on my property and prefer using the seat belt. On my B2150, I put the seat belt on an tighten it up only to have it loosen itself completely in less than 5 to 10 minutes, depending on what I'm doing. The belts visually appear to be in excellent condition. Has...
