Well......it all started when I went and picked up some parts at my local Kubota dealer. He’s also a Stihl dealer. I notice there’s a brand new MS 500i on display with a 25 inch bar......don’t need.....don’t need....I have a nice MS461.....it followed me home. I’ll let you all know what it’s...

I’ve been shopping for a new mower for the last couple years. Looked at everything. Last week I decided on the X750 and today I brought her home. Absolutely thrilled!

If the snow gets any deeper I’ll be shopping for a bigger Kubota!

I bought a brand new L3130 in 2001. correction.....purchased it 5-28-03. I don’t use it a lot...tractor only has 620 hours on it. Last night I went to plow and it was the first time ever it failed to start. I can’t believe the battery lasted 18 years. Correction.....15 years 7 months 9...

So I currently mow with a JD X700. Been a great mower for the last ten years. Only thing I’ve done to it is front tires and I installed the suspension seat. So....I’ve been wanting a new mower. Was pretty much set on the JD X750. But today stopped at a local Kubota dealer.....I already own...

It arrived this morning. I bought a slightly used X700. It has 86 hours on it and as far as I can tell in perfect shape. I have been cruising around the yard trying it out. WOW this thing is smooth. The power steering and tilt wheel are awesome. I can not wait to mow with it this summer...

I have been in the market for a new mower for a long time now but just have not made up my mind on what to get yet. Today I came across a 2007 X700 with 62 hours on it for 7K. It has a 48" deck. Was told this was a government lease return. Very good shape. He said there will be room to...

Hey everyone, Just read all the older post on this model lawn tractor but noticed that most of the posts were rather old so I thought I would ask again... Anyone out there own this model? I am getting rid on my old Toro POS and want to upgrade to a good heavy duty lawn tractor. I have a...

Well we have made a big move in our lives......we hope for the better. Two weeks before Christmas and we were packing up and moving to Michigan. What fun that was but we were able to work our butts off the first week in the new house and were pretty much settled a few days before the holiday...

Well.....I finally went ahead and did it. We have been dogless for years but not no more. Me and the kids stopped by the local shelter and found the sweetest German Shorthair. She is about 4-5yrs old and very well behaved. But here are my questions.....How do you train an older dog the...

Just need some help. Neighbor has a Century 3035 and has had it for about 2 years and has managed to put 135 hours on her. He has had no problems. Today he is out mowing with it and noticed hyd. fluid coming out of a breather under the seat. He shut her down and came home. Checks fluid...

Well it was rainy the other day so I could not work the Kubota. The kids and I dug out an Athearn Genisis train set I have had for years and never set up. We had a great time. I do not know much about toy train sets so I was wondering if any of you tractor guys or ladies are toy train...

I have tried to raise my son correct. He is a little rebelious and low and behold he went against my better judgement today..........he bought green and not orange! Big Ben turned 2 today and I had one of these growing up and he sure seems to like it.

Did anyone catch the TV show Myth Busters this week? They were going to prove or disprove the idea of driving a truck with the tailgate down will save gas milage. I started to watch and then fell asleep and never found out the results. Just one of those things I have wondered about!

Had the chance to borrow the shops 05 1 Ton Dually Duramax with the Allison trany and our goose neck trailer and man what a great way to haul the tractor. Had to haul her about 40 miles and I was able to sit back and enjoy the ride. I was able to go fast as I wanted and the truck never really...
