    Does Kubota discount new tractors?

    I have never bought a new Kubota. When you build a tractor on their website, they give a list price. What has your experience been with respect to discounts off the list price?

    I recently developed an inguinal hernia. Unfortunately that type is in the groin area, not exactly an area I want to be cut on. But hey, you do what you gotta do. I have an appointment with a surgeon Friday to discuss the possibilities going forward. Anyone ever have hernia surgery? If you...

    Plumbing advice

    My grandson flushed a toilet at my house and dropped his sunglasses in simultaneously. They are smallish sunglasses, he's only 6. Well they're gone, and subsequent flushes indicate they're hung in the line, water backup. What would be my best course of action? Will a plumber try to retrieve...
