    “Terror” Chinese excavator

    I like the Yinmar in my Deere a lot more than those Kabotas.

    Anyone have an ankle joint replacement?

    I talked to my wife's ortho surgeon a few months ago. When asked he said that ankle replacement surgery was his favorite (he does them all) as he gets the most positive feedback after patients rediscover their mobility after battling with a bad ankle for years. He also stressed, as did my ortho...

    John Deere UTV

    Your initial post suggested that John Deere did not make a side by side "if John Deere had actually produced a side by side UTV like this"

    The complaint compartment.

    My complaint is this thread turning into a Jayzus channel.

    Just saw my first $80,000 lawnmower

    Good point that I was going to mention. Also just being able to work all day without fueling is a great benefit to us when using our diesel powered stuff. Not to mention transportation hazards of hauling gas vs less volatile diesel.

    Advice on an all terrain vehicle

    Whatever the choice, I would choose a UTV that has power brakes, if there is such an animal. The various UTV's I've driven took a hard push on the brake pedal to stop quickly. I'm not sure how the braking pressure would translate into a hand usage system, as far as leverage is concerned, but...

    New Toyota Tundra’s Recalled for Spun Crank Bearing

    Pretty sure that 5030 was racalled once or twice in the past, possibly the root cause of his abusive attitude towards others on this site.

    Kubota BX 2230 motor 4WD with PTO/lift/hyd deck lift

    I attended a church at the request of my fiancee' where they raised 12000 bucks for the down on a new piano. The baby grand was just not enough for the music minister. Point is that this issue could be brought up to the congregation. Maybe someone could donate a better mower or cash could be...

    UTV vs Tractor trailer. 3 teenagers dead.

    UTV's in general don't appear to meet any federal safety standards. Our UTV has a cage strong enough to support the plastic roof and dome light. Not much in side collision protection either. A 4 lug nut vehicle vs a 10 lug nut vehicle says it all. And condolences to the families.

    New Toyota Tundra’s Recalled for Spun Crank Bearing

    Still having the original battery is amazing. Heck our second batt is 7 years old now.

    UTV's and ATV's general discussion.

    I could get used to the appearance, especially knowing what it does. Our Club Car 1700D uses the driver's side boxed frame rail as the engine air intake and takes air at the very front of the rig near the radiator. Not sure how many makes do that?

    Worst stuck pics

    There used to be a photo on the wall of our local Kubota dealership that showed a fairly large excavator on it's side, almost covered in muddy water in the middle of a swamp. The manager told me the affected machine was one of their rentals. The bottom line: The customer called to tell them the...

    Z920M Kawaski Engine 23.5

    Those gouges don't look good and might be indicative of hammer mechanic methods by some past owner? That might help explain the current issues. A mistery for sure.

    New Toyota Tundra’s Recalled for Spun Crank Bearing

    JUST STOP Your "context" distracts from the stated OP's info about failing new Tundra engines. There is no context in hearing about your first Datsun. Provide info on recent Toyota failings with their Tundra that many people have recently bought and have legitimate concerns. There are thousands...
