If that vaccine is ever made available, I would ask for a second opinion! :laughing:
Kubotitis is a condition with many positive aspects and has no detrimental effect upon your longevity or social acceptance. There are some limited side effects, but even wives tend to find those agreeable as you are out of their hair and not underfoot for hours at a time as you gain seat time.
Some of the beneficial aspects are increased satisfaction levels as you find you can accomplish so many things yourself as well as a feeling of independence for the same reasons. Frustration levels are greatly reduces as a result of the so called "Orange Reliability" and while the occasional susceptibility to repair is rare, it does tend to drain the wallet at a higher rate than other color conditions. Fortunately in the long run, this depletion factors well in comparison.
I have it on good authority that some conditions, such as Belsariusacititis can be a much less pleasant affliction and have fewer redeeming side effects. Count yourself fortunate that if you had to be afflicted with a tractor related condition, you contracted one of the more favorable ones.
It wouldn't work. I have no proof but it my theory that Kubotitis is something you catch when you visit a Kubota dealer. Since JohnThomas frequently visits Barlow's he's most likely built up a strong resistance to any vaccine. I think for him it's a lost cause (and should buy that RTV900

).
It looks like no one on this forum wants to help me resist the temptation of the siren sounds that emit from Barlows as I drive by. A new bypass has opened which has stopped my number of drive bys by 50% or more but the draw is still there. I'm not sure they haven't installed an amplifier system.
When I drive by now I try to look at the Interstate Battery distributor building and the new Water Company office being built across the highway but my head still turns to the field of Orange for at least a glimpse.
I had (almost) talked myself out of the RTV900 since I don't really have a big need for it and my finances or lack of finances was creating a big obstacle for me. Well, I bought/traded for a new/different car with lower payments, my home mortgage lender (Chase) contacted me about renewing my home loan (4.95%) for no additional cost and for one percent less (3.85%) interest rate per year than I'm now paying and my wifes new health insurance plan itself is reduced by more than what the monthly payment will be on the RTV900. How can I NOT buy it I ask???
My major question is......the hydraulic dump is one thousand dollars more than the hand dump. How hard/difficult is it to dump with the hand dump?
Won't do alot of hauling but I said I would rarely use a FEL and BH before I owned one.

Other problem/attraction is I've looked/studied all of the other comparable RTV's and they are priced two or three thousand dollars more than the price Barlows has given me on the RTV900 with hydraulic dump. The others also do not have decent financing incentives like Kubotas 0% for 60 months.
Again, how can I not buy a Kubota RTV900 and stay in the fold of us believers of spending our money to enjoy life now and save what little bit of aging body that we still have remaining rather than save a bunch of dollars to worry about being robbed or being debt free when we die with an estate to be sold and most of the proceeds given to the government.
Also that tempter Steve Barlow has offered me a price for a new one that is less than the price I'm seeing asked for used ones. Don't know whether to Bless or Curse him!

Orange is the color. I've aquired an attraction for Orange now that I was infected with about 7 years ago.
Twelve is also a good even number and that would be like a case of twelve hats.:laughing:
