Kubota B7610
Off to receive my first 'Bota...

Have been using the 16-17" HP Allis and Scott's tractors for years... Been looking at Kubota's, and this website, for a LONG time waiting for the opportunity first with my dad who was unable to fulfill his dream, and then myself. Have some significant projects that warranted the upgrade to a real machine, and I'm looking forward to posting, and getting suggestions from the community on the best way to tackle some of them...

What a great way to start the Labor Day Weekend!!!!! :)

Got back from the first day of usage: Today's chores were to cut the grass (done in half the time of the garden mower), level the years of built up shoreline on the lakefront, and yank about 30 1-4" remaining roots from around the property with a Brush Grubbber Xtreme from BAC, as an intro to the B7610. Worked better than had anticipated... Some initial pictures:

I grew up in St. Charles Il so I know the area a little bit. It looks like you have a nice place and enjoy the new tractor.

Worked in St. Charles living in N Aurora for years. Beautiful little City with the river running through it. Many an evening spent at Salerno's :)
