True but if I get killed I don't have to fret about having damaged the tractor whereas if I survive... I'm honestly not sure what point I'm trying to make. Never mind.

Thanks for the great advice Dick. I changed the water pump (which was seized and leaking) and I also changed the tach linkage (but it didn't solve the crazy needle behavior) and changed the shutoff linkage... I was not aware of decompression as a method of shutting off an engine. Pretty old...

Hell yeah!!! Start em early on the important stuff!

Trenching to interconnect the solar combiner box with the subpanel.

Nice tractor. What work is getting done at the dealership?

Thanks for your reply. I'm super happy with the purchase! I'll be using the Kubota to run the post hole auger, the brush chipper, the brush hog, and a box blade. I think there might be a flail mower in my future but I want to run the brush hog first to see if it'll do the trick. It's...

Man what I wouldn't give for nice straight logs like that. Those would be made into timbers and lumber. ☺️

Hello Kubotans. I recently bought this tractor at auction and will receive delivery of it this weekend. I wanted to ask the community for any advice they have for me. I bought a brand new Branson 3520H in 2016 but this is my first used tractor. Also the Branson is a hydrostatic and this Kubota...

Good stuff Deezil... subscribed! I see where you started and pulled out of the garage at around 800 rpm. What rpm do you usually operate at?

Those WoodMaxx are top of the line. I was gonna buy one... they're built in Akron, near my hometown of Buffalo, NY. I ended up getting an Echo Bearcat CH9540H at auction. I haven't run it yet because I still have the backhoe on the 3520H. However last night I bought a second tractor at auction...

Those are some nice fine chips. What brand of chipper?

Thanks for all the feedback guys. It's much appreciated.
