    B series with quick attach snow plow lifting question

    Tried plowing snow with my L Kubota front loader but the snow builds up quick making the wheels spin. As a kid I pushed snow using the 8N with a 5ft rear blade at angle and whith chains on the tires. The snow, if not biting to deep sort of went to the side as I drove.

    Tractors and (upcoming) tariffs?

    fees make money without the public getting a say. Any and all political boards can put on a fee for just about anything. If votors would stop electing these fee mongers we could have way less of them. They have set us up by where anything can be judged an enviormental issue theyby adding a fee...

    Tractors and (upcoming) tariffs?

    So why do webmasters disallow free speech? It's pretty easy to say something in disagreement just so it's said in a polite manor and without hate toward others or using fowl language. The word tariff in itself is political, it comes via political decisions made by politicians.

    How do y'all feel about Frigidaire vs. GE vs. Whirlpool

    Our biggest issue with app these days is the printed circuit boards fail, and they are expensive to replace. Our old app were mechanical and worked well for a much longer period, they were real steel, cast and copper all made here in america and with very little alum and plastic that helps in...

    I too would not like it if having JD. JD seems to have enough buyers though; maybe they are ok with being locked out of their tractors computers.

    UTV Snowplow choice?

    My JD diesel utv 4x4 works ok on level ground in snow, not so much on our hilly driveway. If putting 400# in the box it will come up just barely; I should have chains maybe. UTV's just don't have the weight for plowing other than flat ground with shallow snows, at least around here because the...

    Made the decision on new kubota kxo33

    After 2000hrs on my Kubota open station I bought a new kx40 with cab, extra buckets. My US mower went right on no problem, one great machine with heat and air, got so tired of being cold, wet and hot!

    when is the best time of year to buy a tractor

    Well, there used to be many post here about folks buying new tractors, now we see few. Glad to see you are wanting one. I'd say there is no best time other than specials we sometime see in late summer. That never worked for me because the unit I wanted never went on sale.

    Going to look at a B2601 on Saturday morning Anything to inspect carefully?

    I would check for how much plastic and alum might be in it's contruction. I like taking a good magnet along when looking at anything these days. What is the hydro casing made of, things like that.

    How do y'all feel about Frigidaire vs. GE vs. Whirlpool

    Maybe we beat the issues by investing in the companies that are screwing us, then buy new appliances more often with the profits.

    How do y'all feel about Frigidaire vs. GE vs. Whirlpool

    Had to replace our 40 year old Maytag washer that still worked ok but was noisy as H--- with lots of vibration. We bought the mechanical Speed Queen model with no circuit boards and it has been great for three years.
