Kubota Road Trip

DieselDon · May 30, 2012

Well, the cousins had to meet for the first time. A B2620 and the newest, an L3800.

Trailer one to meet the other? Heck no.

6.5 miles on the road. 40 minutes.

What's the longest you've driven your tractor along a scenic road?

Is this a math problem?
"How long will it take B2620 traveling at 6mph and an L3800 going 8 mph, each headed to the other from 6.5 miles apart, to meet?"

I've only done about 3 mile.

When I had my Kubotas, I had a brother who lived about a mile and a half from us as the crow flies but because of an arm of the lake in the way, it was about 8 miles by road and I drove the kubotas there and back quite a few times. My wife had a brother who lived about 4 miles from us and I drove the kubotas there and back a few times. But when I was working with a neighbor cutting and baling hay, I drove his Oliver to hayfields as far as 15 miles each way.

About 250 feet to access the neighbors property to do some work every once in a while. Anywhere else, I'm a trailer *****.

I drove my old Kubota, and the current NH to help out at our fire station. It is about three miles. The B8200 was B29710/2910/7800 sized, but only 19hp. It was a long drive with only 19hp... The 40hp NH does it easy.

In the 1950's my Grandfather got a Ford tractor; my Dad drove it home about 35 miles. Brand new, drove from the dealer to home/ranch.

Is that a trick question?

I wouldn't call it scenic, but I had mine for 6 days when I drove it 6 miles to church to respread a couple loads of gravel. Took 45 minutes. Or 250 yards to help the neighbor pick rocks so they could sod after building the house.

What kind of ticket can a board cop give you for operating a tractor on a public road?

I've driven past them, and also been passed by them. They did not seem to be concerned. But, I had headlights on, and blinkers on. And, the SMV plate on the back of the tractor.
