Someone down the road from my former place of employment had a Kubota RTV and blower. I regularly drove by and saw that thing high and dry on drifts. I'm guessing that some was operator error, some was not enough machine for conditions.

I have people contacting me from either this post or another one from 3 or 4 years ago asking about these brackets. Mine sold a long time ago. They are apparently hard to find and very expensive if you do. I was fortunate that the ones that came with the backhoe fit my S185. But that backhoe...

Here's a nice BX2380 near me: Log into Facebook In case the link doesn't work or someone doesn't have FB here's the description: 2018 Kubota BX2380 subcompact tractor 4WD , 3 cyl diesel, excellent condition barley used only 61 hours “like new” , 54” mid mount mowing deck , hard top removable cab...

I was shopping for a BX2380 in summer of 2020. Even though it's a few states away I contacted Barlow in Kentucky. I wanted turf tires and a 60 inch MMM. Was going to buy new until Brady asked me if I'd consider used. He had a 23 hour unit on his lot set up just the way I wanted. We made a deal...

A little late to let you know now, but the Watertown Kubota dealer had an auction today. They are retiring and sold to Empire Tractor. Hard to say what they many have had laying around.

As many ads today say - No lowball offers. I know what I have! :)

Not sure what you mean by "scoop". But in my experience (on my 3rd tractor and still have a skid steer) a loader is a must. For me the BX is just a big lawn mower if it didn't have a loader because I don't use the 3 point hitch for anything other than a ballast box. The loader can replace a lot...

The thing is, he mentions Michigan snow. I don't understand this if he's looking strictly for mowers. Everyone has their own ideas and each property is different. I've had 2 zero turns. A Troy Bilt from Lowe's and then and nice Ferris. In my experience they get stuck easily in wet stuff and I'd...

I bought a BX2380 a couple of years ago for general maintenance on 2 acres. A John Deere X394 4 wheel steer is the primary mower. But I use the BX's 60 inch MMM on my lot next to the house that's a little rougher. I also use the BX to mow in early spring wet conditions due to the 4x4. The LA344...

Just to be clear, I'm no fan of any "progressive" politician whether they be on the state or national stage. And that's about the extent of political discussion here for me. The internet is loaded with places dedicated to that type of thing. I come here to discuss tractors and various...

I get it now. Your career choice problems are the fault of someone else. Check. And as far as the new truck thing, isn't that a result of California's smog policies, if it's true at all?

Yeah, I guess it had nothing to do with employees being out due to Covid or lack of truckers to haul the goods away once they're unloaded from ships as well as various other chokepoints in the system.

So has the backhoe already been paid for? If so I'd be looking to get that portion of the sale refunded if Kubota cannot or will not provide a reasonable answer and consider shopping an aftermarket maker. But you may be taking your chances there as well. The supply chain problem doesn't seem to...

I'm in northern New York state. We have a regional grocery chain called Price Chopper. They have an agreement with many local Sunoco sellers. You get X amount off per gallon determined by how much you spent on groceries. It can accumulate but I seldom use it as the wife generally takes care of...

Fortunately I was nowhere near the "premium" price situation. I honestly could not say what banks will or will not finance. My guess is that they must be doing it or the folks buying these premium priced trucks have a heck of a down payment and/or trade in allowance.
