After this winter, I decided to not go another year without a cab. I have been shopping for about a month and also looked hard at Kioti and Mahindra but ended staying with Kubota (previously have owned B7610 & L3200). Here are some obligitary pictures. I already ran over some dog poop too :D

Considering an NX4510. I have been reading up on tier 4 tractors. Seems as though some manufacturers achieve the emission requirement utilizing different technologies. For those that have tier 4 machines, what are your experiences? Any negatives (other than increased initial costs of course)...

I am looking to move up to a larger cab tractor. Received the following quote for new L4060 Cab HST with 805 loader and 74" 3 pt snowblower w/ hydraulic chute rotation and deflected: $41,000. I knew tier 4 had added some cost but did not expect price to be that high. That was the lowest price...

I'm seriously considering moving up to a larger cab tractor, likely something in the 40 to 50 HP range. Right now the three brands I have been focusing on are Kioti, LS & Mahindra. I have owned 2 Kubotas now and they are great tractors, but I think in this tractor class with cab I can...

Thinking of selling my current L3200 and moving up to a larger cabbed tractor and I have a question regarding selling a tractor that I still owe money on to Kubota Credit. I have had the L3200 a little over two years. I financed for 5 years @ 0% and put 35% down, plus I have always added extra...

OK, there is another thread on NX4510 pricing that has degenerated into 17 pages of debate on unrelated stuff, so I need to start my own. I just got a price for NX4510 HST Cab model w/ FEL from New Hampshire dealer for $34,000. This is after rebate w/ 2.9% finance for 60 months. This sounds...

Looking for feedback on John Deere X500. I looked at the X320 & X500 at local dealer the other day. I might go back on the weekend and test drive. My scenario is strictly for mowing (I have larger tractor w/ Loader for bushhogging, snow removal, playin' in the dirt and other chores). I mow...

Did my 50 hr service on my L3200 yesterday. Actually only have 35 hrs on it, but I wanted to do it before it gets colder. Everything went smooth. I only lost 2.5 qts of hydraulic oil when changing the hydraulic filter. I didn't have a helper to try the shop vac trick, but I jacked the right side...

I sold my B7610 on craigslist and moved up in size to an L3200 HST. The B7610 did everything I asked and was a great machine, but I knew I wanted a larger tractor with more capabilities. I considered a few different models including the Grand L's, but I am very happy with the final choice. In...

I was on the Landpride website and noticed they apparently make snowblowers now. Unless I am mistaken, this is a newer product for them. Anyone know if they are any good? I'm in the market for a 3 PT blower and so far I have been looking at a 52" Pronovost ($2,300 if I remember right) and a...

Reading some of the posts on here inspired me to do an engine swap on my Troy-Bilt Horse tiller. Original engine was Tecumseh 6HP (HH60). The last couple years despite constant tinkering, adjusting, cajoling, etc. it hasn't run great. After a little research I went with the chinese Honda clone...

I'm referring to the Kubota license plate above the door of course! :D

My wife was calling the dogs in today when she saw these two flying around. They eventually landed in a tree on our property. The one on the lower branch is an immature bald eagle.

Looking for other members opinions on this. When bush hogging, I run engine throttle at mark indicating rear PTO RPM of 540. If memory serves correct, this is at about 2300 engine RPM. Normally, what I do is when I get to the end of a mowing pass, I push in clutch, disengage rear PTO and then...
