Kubota Advice Needed!

Congratulations. Sounds like you and your dad made a great choice.

When it shows up make sure you remember to always use care when using the FEL. Keep the bucket low when you are moving. Having even an empty bucket up changes the center of gravity of the tractor. ROPS up and seatbelt on.

Have a great time with it.

Thanks, we think we made a good choice! I'll remember to use care with the FEL and be sure use the safety equipment.

Awesome! you all wil love the new machine. Now its time to learn the in/outs of the machine like the float position of FEL, the hidden power source for auxilary lights, etc.

There is one on "things not to do with a FEL", but I couldn't find it.

Thanks, I'm sure I will. I've already been researching all the ins/outs of the BX25.

Well, I can't (especially during the day), but I was so tired from all the excitement I managed...:confused2:

Come on guys, the OP doesn't need an L3700 to mow his yard. Let's try to help as much as justify our own choices, and I really mean that in a friendly way. At the very least he should rent anything bigger for a weekend before going that route. Actually if all of us had a BX, or equiv. on the side I think we would be surprised how much we ende up using it for. What say you TrippleR?
