It's great to hear that your dealer stepped up and made efforts to fix what they could. Just curious - was it the dealer in Plaistow - or the dealer in Milford?
I'm also a believer in IBC totes. I've got 32 totes and burn appx. 5 cords per year. I just place the empty totes next to the splitter and split wood goes directly from splitter into the tote - but I stack my wood into the tote. A 275 gal. tote will hold 3/8 of a cord if it is stacked. I also...
Thanks for posting - that's a pretty interesting place. It's only a little over an hour drive from my place. Would be well worth the drive. Now my wife will be totally convinced I need to get my head examined!
Congratulations on your choice of Kioti. I think they make good tractors. As I have been following this thread - I am thinking you are located in southern Maine. If this is true - did you order from the Kioti dealer in Lebanon, Maine?
I agree with Carl NH. That L47TLB at $42K and 500 hours is a good deal. If you are nervous about buying used - ask around to see if you can hire a mechanic from a Kubota dealer "on the side" to come with you to view the used machine. However - at $42K, I don't think it will last too long. I...
I've got a Kubota L-47 and like it a lot. It only has appx. 350 hours on it and I use it mostly for backhoe/loader/fork/grapple work and have been very happy with it's performance. I did get the 3 point hitch kit with it but have not used that to this point.
Hi Carl: I can't comment on the black soot - but all the service on my L-47 has been done by our local Kubota dealer in Milford, NH (where I bought it). It currently has a white oil filter on it - but I seem to recall that they may have put a grey filter on it when they did an oil change. I...
Here in NH you can rent (from a Kubota dealer) a KX-080 excavator (9 tons) with AC for $500.00/day or $1800.00/week plus a fee of $250.00 for round trip pick-up and delivery. I am quite sure that 2 days with this machine would easily allow you to rip out 15 stumps and handle the buried boulders.
It will do it. I also frequently move 1 ton pallets of wood pellets with my L47TLB and my forks are 42" Tomahawk (300#). That backhoe on the rear of your L47 is a pretty good counterweight.
I had the same issue on my John Deere 345 GT. If you go onto You-Tube and state your issue - you should find 3 or 4 remedies whereby inserting a 4" long wire into the back of the switch that controls the PTO will bypass that feature.
I agree - IBC totes is my choice. I now have a total of 32 of them and when I have them all full - I have 3 years of wood available. I built a platform on the rear of my house that holds 4 IBC totes which is on same level as my wood stove and therefore I can load from totes into 4 wheel wagons...
