Look at it from a financial viewpoint: For those large operations, repairs are a business expense and a necessary deduction to offset profits and thus the reduce the final tax bill. Hiring a mobile mechanic, hiring an on-site mechanic(s), or leaving the job to the dealer are creating write-offs...

Last year, I brought an older, small Kubota from Kansas to Southern Ontario; tractors are going back and forth all the time:) Had been looking for that exact model for some time. Got a customs broker to do the paperwork-took little effort on my part. They worked with the trucking co. and...

Thanks all. So if i translate the above correctly, a leak-down test would be the proper way to test compression/valves? Or is evaluating the condition of the engine just not possible? It either runs or not?

Thanks for the reply. This is a recoil start motor. I'm hoping to avoid having to replace it. So having no compression would be normal until it starts? I'm not very knowledgeable about motors with compression releases.

Greetings! I have an opportunity to buy a 735 that the owner could not demonstrate the motor running. Said "it ran last fall" (where have we heard that before?). I went prepared with some tools and put a compression tester to it and after several pulls there is no compression reading. When...

His videos are addictive. All those finds that are rescued from the scrap heap are entertaining!

TBN folks can correct me, but I think that's only reflective of the USA. I've had no problems getting parts from Canadian Kubota dealers for my B6000's, which are considered "Grey" in the US. And based on discussions over at OTT, there seem to be dealers that ignore that rule. Also, there are...

I see a sneak drive-by of another Kubota in the background:-). In Canada, the price you paid for this Kubota would have been an amazingly good deal. Especially from a commercial dealer. The used tiller alone would sell for Euro1800-2000 here. Tractor itself about euro7000-8000. I have a pair of...

Thanks for that, I've contacted them and will report back here.

Folks; I've got a 10-10 2-bottom plow that I will be restoring to service. It needs a replacement share/point. Any recommendations on where to source a replacement? I don't know any blacksmiths around here (2 hours north of Toronto Ontario). I'm OK to order from a Canadian or US source. Thanks...

Here's my 25c worth of opinion. I am near Collingwood Ontario so lots of snow here, but you should take into account that the quantity of snow falling every year is diminishing. I've got a Massey GC2300 which is a good tractor and has served me well but I won't buy another Massey because of the...

I've got a Massey GC2300 and a pair of older Kubota's (1980's vintage). If I had done some research on the cost of parts I would have avoided the Massey. It's a decent tractor however AGCO has a hard lock on the availability and price of parts and they are spendy compared to Kubota parts. I can...

1: This rear mowing "feature" is quite common on consumer grade machines. Reason: Lawyers (alluded to before in an earlier comment) 2: I have a Massey GC2300-cuts in both directions without needing a switch. 3: Very Important! If you come to sell your modified machine, reinstate ALL safety...

Gentle readers; I have this mid-mount PTO attachment but do not know what tractor this fits. Most likely compact / utility tractor in the 20-30HP range. Dimensions are shaft 40.5" tip to tip. Hanger bracket is 14" wide. 15 spline. Any help is welcomed. Thanks!
