    Kubota F series

    Try it with the blade off. I wonder if it's hitting the blade next to it.

    Dealers Not Accepting Some Brands on Trade

    Very interesting read, read all 15 pages. Personally I can't blame the dealers as I wouldn't buy one of the more obscure brands either. For the first time in 39 years, I bought a mower from a dealer this year. It was a trade in, and was priced to sell as is. Generally the only thing I buy from...

    Kubota F2880 Out Front Mower

    Wow 2000 miles for a f series? That's impressive. IMO its worth that if you are happy with the deal you got on it. I drove 24 hours round-trip for an engine for a new Holland skid steer a few years ago. I had a f2650 for 6 years, than my f3080 popped up locally as a dealer trade. It was exactly...

    Kubota F series

    Picked up my 2nd f series kubota. 2010 3080 with blower and mower. Local dealer trade, price was pretty reasonable I thought. 2600 hours. Definitely lots of maintenance needed, but I'll slowly get the bugs worked out.

    Ideas for tie down points

    Hi all, recently got a good deal on this little 6x10 aluminum trailer with deck boards for decking. Previous owner added the aluminum skirting. Problem is, no tiedown points inside the trailer. What would you guys use? I'm considering E track. Would like tie down points in all 4 corners...

    Backhoe Keep & repair or sell for parts or scrap yard

    Where are you located? You might find someone local to give you a hand getting it running and out of the woods. As long as the exhaust is covered, it will likely start right up and run. I wouldn't scrap it or part it out. They are worth $3500-4500 running and working, even sloppy with small...

    How awesome is it to have a dump bed in your truck??

    There's deals to be had out there. I was in the same boat. I need stone for my barn, scrap to get rid of. Up pops a rusty 7x12 cam dump trailer. 10k gvw, tall wooden sides, tarp, ramps. Structurally ok. Brakes need adjusting, $1000. Going to go through it, replace the rusty sheet metal, probably...

    Decent older commercial grade mower recommendations

    Hi all, looking for a mower to replace her box store zero turn that's been anything but reliable. Budget is around $3500. Could possibly do a little more. I've owned Lazer z's and thought they were a good mower. I currently own a Kubota f2560. 2 seasons on it. It's been great. I'll let her use...

    Anyone else favor older tractors to newer ones?

    I thought about selling it earlier this year, but yes, it's a great sized tractor. It's gear drive, but I don't mind it. Has power steering and a loader to boot. Showed my wife how to use it, she likes it too. Here's a few pictures. Sold the backhoe on the b9200. Still have the bigger bobcat on...

    Anyone else favor older tractors to newer ones?

    I spent part of the day working my '86 White 2-65 tractor. It's a very used tractor from a friend's farm I purchased a few years ago. Lots of oil leaks, 1 brake pedal stiff, not much of the electrical works, bucket needs to be rebuilt, however I am looking forward to slowly sorting out the...

    Thoughts on old Kubota KH excavators?

    Hi all, was wondering what the general opinion was on the 80s KH excavators was. Occasionally I see a 10-15k lb one pop up for sale. Main concern is parts availability. Just looking at one as a toy.
