Well I signed all the paperwork yesterday on an new Z121SKH-48. It is supposed to be delivered to the house tomorrow. They gave me all the paperwork/manuals to take home with me, and in going thru them I found the Warranty Information Guide. In it I see the the warranty for the "Z, F...

Hey Folks, Has anyone on the forum ordered a ZTR from one of the online Dealers (Barlows, Messicks, or ??) Was the unit delivered assembled or was it still crated? I am probably going to order one soon and would actually like to get it still crated -- Seems like it would be easier/cheaper to...

So I have pretty much decided that I am going to buy a Kubota Kommander ZTR and so I recently stopped by the local dealer. We were talking a bit and he is basically telling me that it is more mower than I should get. I asked him if he wanted to get rid of the unit out front before the end of...

I have a B3200 (now out of warranty) and one of the Front Tire (Industrial) continually leaks down. When I brought it up to my dealer while the tractor was still under warranty he acted like it would not be covered under warranty and that they send all of they tire work out to one of the big...

I hadn't bought any Kerosene for the Space heater that I use in the garage for several years. When I went to get some, I was told that all bulk Kerosene now has dye in it and the only way to get clear K-1 was to buy it in 1, 2 or 5 gal containers. I had always used clear K-1 Kerosene in my...

The 2 major brands of dump trailers that I see being sold in my part of the country are Big Tex and PJ. It appears that the Big Tex units are being sold for about 20% less than the PJ. What are folk's opinions on the 2 brands and is the price premium for the PJ units worth it? Thanks

Is anyone using the AMSOIL Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil (ATH) in their Kubota? My local kubota Dealer do not carry the Kubota fluids. They are also a Ford/ New Holland Dealer and they had Ama-Gard (spelling?) on the shelves and said that is what they put into them when they...

So I was cleaning out the wood shed over the weekend and notice that the old Seat for the Kubota B7100 (I sold it almost 2 years ago and now have a B3200) was up in the rafters. What would you folks suggest? List is on Craig's List for some amount? OR list it for FREE? OR take it to the...

Looking thru the Craig's List ads the other day and came across a TG1860G for sale. They say it has ~450 hours on it and has a mower deck with a 3 bagger collection system (has a fan attached). Anybody have any experience with these units? What would a used one sell for? Thanks, Bob

Well the title about says it. I am thinking of getting a Dump trailer 14' in hopes that it can do double duty of hauling my Kubota B3200. What are other folk's thoughts and experiences? What are your experiences with Big Tex or PJ 14' dumpers?

Well it was a sunday afternoon and I was trying to finish up a bunch of Fall chores. I had the pressure washer out and was cleaning the mowers and figured I would clean the patio and sidewalk while I was at it. I was almost done and the Honda motor on the pressure washer coughed as it ran out...

Last weekend the wife and I were using our ~6 month old B3200 cleaning up after clearing some trees on our property. We had a trailer load of limbs to haul away (burning restrictions were still in place) so we just shut the tractor down and left it "out back". Well to make the story short, the...
