    Kubota L295 for 900$ worth it?

    Not yet as it's a 4+ hour drive, and we have storms for the next week or so forecasted (which means road closure and general issues). I should be going to inspect around the 20th if all goes well

    Kubota L295 for 900$ worth it?

    My personal experience is ordering parts from the USA, shipping them to here is still cheaper than buying domestically lol. So as long as messicks ships to aus I'm good as gold

    Kubota L295 for 900$ worth it?

    Thankfully yes, I've done a fair few teardowns before. Just never one on a Kubota before

    Kubota L295 for 900$ worth it?

    Ah thankyou, yeah we had an old Deere at work that would absolutely refuse to start most days. So I understand what you mean with the glow plugs. I think he has all the manuals and workshop stuff with it, so I might be able to look through them

    Kubota L295 for 900$ worth it?

    Exactly what I thought, 4wd and a loader in something newish is exactly what I've been looking for

    Kubota L295 for 900$ worth it?

    I'm going to spend the next few days calling around about it. There's a fairly big dealership 30 mins away, who always do old equipment so I'll see what they can do

    Kubota L295 for 900$ worth it?

    Hello everyone, So a good mate of mines getting rid of his Kubota, the story is that he was using it, it started to become smokey. He then drove it for Abit, before he turned it off and left it for about a week. Come yesterday, he's tried to start it and it struggled and struggled and didn't...

    ride-on powered tiller?

    Ideally I would trade the Massey in, however over here even the rusted out b7100/6000/whatever 1970s underpowered Kubota sell upwards of 5K aud , and with the massey bearly selling for around 4-6K if I get lucky, it just doesn't work out haha. Believe me though, I'd sell ye little old deathtrap...

    ride-on powered tiller?

    A few years back we did try raised beds, but due to the movement of the ground, aswell as the sheer cost of materials here is just ridiculous Turns out I did make a typo, the areas around 80sq meters, forgot to do the math for the ft conversion. Aswell as with the soil being clay, it's...

    ride-on powered tiller?

    Hi all, so after spending countless hours restoring a 35 i didnt really account for the high speed transmission. For the last few weeks ive been heavily considering a small vegetable garden, around 100sq ft, mainly as a passion project. With the massey being way too fast (and large) to consider...

    BX2380 equivalent in John Deere

    Jeff I would like to add, remember the price your shopping for. There's no point getting a larger tractor, costing 5~K more, and having to live off of cup noodles for 5 months. Many people here always will recommend larger, but often forget the increase in price (and honestly weight for lawn...

    Case dx18e vs B6/7000 vs furgeson 35

    The L definitely seems to be the best middleground, as it's not exactly a light tractor. And the gearing means they can practically crawl if need me. The biggest downside is the low HP, but unless I buy new I won't be getting large hp in that size And the looks are definitely a winner, it...

    Case dx18e vs B6/7000 vs furgeson 35

    Hello everyone. I am currently in the process of starting a small garden area which should be around 100m2, with plans to expand further. Aswell as a small vineyard that will be planted Due to our ground being extremely heavy clay, I'm looking for a High Horsepower machine as to run a tiller...
