    Electric pressure washer reviews

    For cleaning equipment, I'd suggest the Ryobi RY141802 (which is currently $99 at Home _epot as I write this). You do not want a pressure washer (PW) that will damage the paint on your equipment. A good rule of thumb is if your hand can tolerate the pressure of the water coming out of the PW...

    Do John Deere dealers generally negotiate?

    I live in the New England area and all except one of the JD dealerships are owned by the same company. As far as I'm concerned, I've crossed JD off my shopping list because one company has a near monopoly on dealerships in five states around me. Because of this, what motivation does the lone JD...

    BX 5450 Snow Thrower Reduction Gearbox Problem

    Is there a way to get the chain back on the reduction gear and drive gear without having to disassemble the entire thing? The gear's set screws, despite using Locktite, wiggle out and the gear comes loose then off comes the chain. It's very frustrating because it doesn't appear to be an easy...

    Buying Advice Seeking Kubota 2350 Plastic Body

    It's about $600-ish to replace the plastic hood and the plastic surround piece below the hood. That's just for the two plastic parts themselves, never mind all of the other little screws, add-ons, parts, etc..

    Buying Advice Seeking Kubota 2350 Plastic Body

    I often wondered if any of the metal hoods were compatible with the 2350 series. And yeah, sticker shock indeed!

    I found a picture of a T25H with a front-mount snow blower on my local dealer's Facebook page.

    TYM T25 this thing is amazing!!!

    I saw that page. Nothing on the T25H. I guess I have to contact the dealer.

    TYM T25 this thing is amazing!!!

    I have been looking at the T25H and am wondering if a front-mounted snow blower is offered either by TYM or 3rd-party. I can't seem to find this info on Tym's website.

    Looking at Bad Boy Tractors, thoughts?

    I wish they offered a cab on the 30-series models.

    Is a spike in tractor prices coming?

    I went to my local Kubota dealer last week and saw a row of shiny new LX2610's with cabs (oh man I'd love one of those!) but I didn't even bother to ask what the price was because of inflation. New Kubotas were already out of my budget pre-inflation and now they're even more so. Side note -...

    Which brands have more metal, and which brands have more plastic?

    '06 BX2350 as well and my engine cowl is in rough shape. I wish I could replace it with a metal cowl from another BX model somehow. Same thing with the hood--it has several cracks. I knew about the plastic issues with 2350 when I bought it, but despite being careful I am still a bit surprised...

    Need Help Identifying a Part

    Hi all, I was walking my property and found this part lying on the ground. I'm not sure what this part is, but I'm fairly sure the only piece of equipment I own that would have something like this is my Kubota BX2350. I do not own any rear PTO attachments so it's not a part from an...

    Thoughts on King Kutter XB Mini Spreader?

    Hi all, did a search via Google and found nothing within the last few years (2007 to be exact). I'm considering the King Kutter XB mini spreader for my Kubota BX. I am interested in this unit because it's smaller than most spreaders and seems like a good fit for my needs and the BX. It would...

    Business Rationale When Buying New Excavator

    Hi all... No real reason for my questions other than just curiosity. I recently had to hire an excavation company to dig some test pits for a new septic design. The contractor brought in a Cat 420F towed by a Cat dump truck. I was chatting with him and he revealed that he is an all-Cat...

    Lot Clearning - DIY or Pro ?

    Hi all, I'm in the process of acquiring almost four acres of land with plans to build a house on it. I'm considering clearing the lot (maybe an acre or so, not the entire lot) of trees and stumps by myself with an excavator in an effort to rough clear a path for a driveway and for the home...
