I'm selling my 1980 John Deere 2240 2WD. It has no FEL, but has under 750 hours, and in good condition. It has a factory sun top with ROP and a rear remote. I started at $9,900, and then down to $8,500 on craigslist a couple months ago with no luck. I relisted it at $7500 today and have two...

I tipped my Kubota mx5100 today! :( I was moving dirt on level ground, but lifted a load that was too heavy, too high, and over I went. :( First off, will my Kubota insurance cover any costs in having someone tip the tractor back? I was going to call my dealer on Monday to see if they offer...

Kubotas are made in Japan, correct? Anyone know whether the Kubuta supply will be affected by the Japan earthquake/Tsunami? Thanks.

I just found out that our schools are possibly laying off teachers again, so I have to hold off on my Kubota purchase for a few months. The 0% for 60 months offer ends 3/31. Is it likely that Kubota will have the same offer in the spring or early summer? Thanks.

I hope to purchase a Kubota mx5100 will loader and BH92 backhoe. Anyone know how well the backhoe would do digging in frozen ground? The reason I ask is I may try removing an island on my pond by driving the tractor to the island when the pond freezes over. Sound like a crazy idea? Thanks.

I think I'm sold on the MX5100 HST w/FEL. Now I'm wondering whether I should get a backhoe too. I surely have jobs for it. Is the BH92 a good backhoe? Or should I get something aftermarket later on? I need a backhoe that moves left to right quick. My brother's JD is very slow and always...

Trying to decide if this is a good enough tractor for me. I have 86 acres with 15 acres of woods. I will use the tractor to haul wood to the house with the FEL and the 3 point hitch. I have ALLOT of dirt/clay piles from a dug pond that I will be moving to a new location. I mow with a 90"...

My local dealer, Victor NY, quoted me $33,000 for a new DK55 with front loader. Does that sound like a good price? I will be trading in a 1980 2WD John Deere 2240 (No loader). He has not looked at it yet. Anyone know what would be a fair trade-in value? Thanks.

Will a DK55 have any problems with a 90" bush hog finishing mower? I am thinking of trading in my JD 2240 for a 4 wheel drive 50hp tractor. Thanks.
