The FPT 6.7 is a solid engine. Every bit as good as the Cummins 6.7. Ram was actually thinking of switching to the FPT 6.7 at one time I was told. But it's the name Cummins that makes the sales. I wouldn't worry about the 4 cylinder Kubota compared to a 6. I've seen plenty of test videos of...

Amen to that! LOL Cat's are easy to "fix"

Well if that's the case, guess I'll be cancelling Amazon Prime now and ceasing to use their services.

Hey ArlyA, that could be the case. My mechanic friend has some highly modified Can Am atv's and he's the head mechanic at the dealer. He was telling me about some splined shafts that are failing because of bad heat treating. I think it was axle shafts? He had to have a few warrantied.

I have the same issue with my Kubota. Looks as though the subframe hooks that stay with the tractor are on the tight (narrow) side. I'm thinking as the paint wears off and it wears a bit may get easier.

I just stumbled across that and watched it last night too. I would have loved to see that back in the day. So sad to see all these great manufacturers gone from the USA and Canada. Allis was just like the White Motor Corporation....they made everything from electrical and power generation to...

We got two fairly new dealers in the town closest to me. An LS dealer and a Mahindra dealer. All the plow contractors and landscape businesses bought them because they were cheaper. I saw lots of broken front axles and other issues. They all run Kubota and Deere now for what it's worth. I'd...

To the OP.....buy the SCUT and be happy. And the Massey GC is an excellent choice. Never mind all the other work I do with my B2620 Kubota.......just look at mowing. Two acres around my house is lawn. Even if that was my only use, I am so glad I bought the Kubota over my past couple lawn and...

Where is your control lever for your rear remotes? I'd have to move mine if I ever put a cab because it is just clamped to the ROPS bar.

You really think our governments are going to let the population be poverty free and have money? How will they control us then? LOL

Me as well....just my own yard. But sometimes I have tried to pick up speed to throw the snow over the banks. Boss wants a RIDICULOUS amount for that rubber flap. I think it was just over $300 Canadian here. Anyway, enjoy your new machine and Happy New Year to you as well.

If you don't see any leaks I wouldn't worry about it. Even my big Cat wheel loader vents the smell of hydraulic oil when you are working it. My little B2620 will give you the occasional whiff too.

I didn't watch videos because I can't be bothered with you-tube opinions....but if he has had several engine issues and as some have said here....they see other stuff tore up on the tractor......maybe the tractor isn't the problem, LOL Going out on a limb here.....but could be a problem with the...

Yes, when I started the plowing season in my gravel driveway I did a lot of back blading to keep from digging since I was too lazy to reset the skid shoes on my plow and the tractors blower. And my Boss came like that also...drops like a stone. But there's an adjustment on the pump. Also, if...

Have a 12 inch Dewalt. Works awesome and got the small size to keep in the ATV"s for those times you come across a downed tree on the trail. Still use my big gas saws for firewood though.

It's pretty easy. Did you get the skid shoes? They are a nice setup, you adjust height by moving washers. And just remember, until you get a base, it will dig less in the forward and reverse vee positions. It cuts the most straight forward. And depending on how dealer set yours up, there is an...

A gear drive can suffer from poor maintenance too. Swifty said he bought it used, so lord knows what was done to it in the past. I've never had an issue with HST's and have many hours on them.

Awesome. I have a home made one with a wooden frame but wouldn't mind having one of those. Got any gravel pits close by or know any contractors? You may be able to pick up some used screens you can put over it for different material sizes. At the mine I work at for instance, we replace the...

RolandW...just a thought. Do you have that KTAC insurance? I have no experience with it but have read many times it's covers just about anything? Maybe that will cover the cost of having it removed? After all, it was an accident caused by poor dealer prep.

Yep. Get it in a warm garage to thaw out and drain all the fluids if that is indeed the problem. And unfortunately you will have to dump the oil a couple times to get all the moisture cleaned out. So maybe buy some cheap oil and run it for several minutes then drain again. I bought a used Boss...

Do you have a good relationship with your Kubota dealer? Talk to your salesman and get him to order you rims and tires through Whole Goods. I got my new rims and tires that way cheaper than I could buy just the tires anywhere else. So you essentially get free rims.

We have a boxer mastiff mix pup that is now 5 months old. We had the same problem. She would swallow the whole bowl in one gulp. So we bought one of these bowls and it didn't work. She still went crazy with it. So I told the wife, lets just leave a full bowl of food out all the time like we...

Yes, but I just never looked into how it's wired or what's involved. I don't want to have to get in to a whole big job just for that.

I asked for LED's and factory switches and my dealer did it. But I can't find a name on them anywhere so I don't know what brand they are. But they are super bright compared to the ones I put on my tractor. Only thing I don't like is I can't use the front and the rear at the same time or they...

Yep, that's it.

The gun is the tire brand. They are called 357 Mag or something like that? The full name is on the sidewall.....at least it is on mine. I like those tires. They work well for plowing, pavement and trail riding. Congrats. You will love it and the Boss plow.

Saw this yesterday. Case IH is sending a bunch of Quad Tracks to Antarctica. Over a million dollars each they say. Notice they don't have SCR or DPF's. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

All these manufacturers can't get you to buy their new highly overpriced junk if they keep giving you parts for the good older ones.

Yes, I got lucky with that one.

I have 950 hours and 6500 miles on my 2004.5 Sportsman 500 H.O. Plowed for first 8 years of it's life. All the suspension bushings are getting play in them now, had a U-joint fail and there is play in the wheel bearings. And wore the needle jet off in the carb. But still using it. They don't...

I was just at my Kubota dealer yesterday looking at an M7060. I asked them if the trade values are declining at all? He laughed and said we have to look up the original purchase invoices to make sure we aren't giving people more than they originally paid for them when they were new.

As far as the M7060, that is a sweet tractor you got there Sawtooth. I really think that is one of the best values in the Kubota lineup, for what you get for the price.

I love all my Kubota products and they have all been pretty much trouble free......but why can't Kubota make anything that shifts nice and smooth? LOL Even the RTV's have to have numerous things set absolutely perfectly for you to be able to move the shift lever. Even a few videos I have...

My wife got hit from behind while stopped at a stop light in her new at the time Jetta. While it was being repaired at body shop I asked them "can you fix the ding someone put in the door while it's here?" It was just a dent, with no crease. To my surprise the body shop manager said "I'll call...

I'm lucky, my B2620 has a drive over deck. I would never buy one without it. But those would be handy for moving implements around the shop. Did you buy any yet? Do they seem durable?

No, the mentalists on this program are against the LNG the ship builders want to use. Apparently what used to be the clean fuel is now also evil, LOL Same as propane. A friend sent me a video yesterday of the president of Toyota announcing electric cars are not going to work therefore they are...

There is something in the manual. You have to release something to release hydro pressure to tow it so it will freewheel. Sorry I can't remember what you need to do.....I've never had to tow mine so didn't pay much attention to it. If I was home I would scan the page in my manual. If you want I...

Not sure if you want atv tires again? I got the Worksite tires on mine because I do a mix of snow plowing, trail and pavement. They seem good plowing. I never had a need for more traction. I just don't find them good in beach sand. But I plow on hills and they seem good.

Where I am, I only have one radio station I can get, so against my better judgement I sometimes turn off the Sirius XM (The Rural Channel/RFD is my favorite) and I turn on the CBC (Communist Broadcasting Channel...or wait....maybe one of the C's is Canada?) to see what is going on in local news...

Colored off road fuel has gone up a dollar per litre here since covid price gouging and the Ukraine war began. Used to be 98 cents to a dollar per litre, now it's over $2.00 Hard to believe it's more than on road fuel considering there is no road tax on it.

I do. All the same.

Wow! And I thought it was bad enough here in soviet canukistan.

Right now where I am north of the Sault in Ontario Canada, off road dyed diesel is more than clear on road diesel and gasoline! Why? Because they know we need to heat our homes for the winter.

Me, I'd rather take gas than electric. I'd even go back to propane. Nice clean fuel. I had a Ford truck on propane and I never had any issues with that thing. Even here where it gets down to minus 40. But they are even gouging us on the price of propane now too.

Depends. Obviously new tractors have much more comfortable cabs and in most cases better hydraulic systems, but I've never been rich, so I don't like giving money away and I feel the new stuff is WAY over priced. Can I afford it? Yes. But I feel stupid buying it. I have my little B and RTV which...

And if you want steel rims, there are cheap powder coated Accuride ones you can buy. they weren't much more than painted rims but they stay looking good way longer.

Back in the early days before I was fortunate to be able to have new dump trucks, ran a lot of ones bought used. I used to just scrape the scale of the frames and dump box with a metal putty knife and paint with Tremclad and a brush. But the Tremclad you buy today isn't like the stuff of old...

I already am. With the new emission controlled engines and the skyrocketing prices of new tractors, I'd rather buy old antique tractors, convert to 12 volt and electronic ignition very cheaply and have a tractor that runs every day forever.

Many years ago I used to work for a company building logging roads and I drove a 6x6 Paystar 5000. It's amazing the difference that front drive makes compared to even having 4 way locks in a 6x4.

I'm late to the party Hay Dude, but nice truck. Solid engine too. Just a couple things I saw mentioned here.....your Allison will have PTO provisions being a Rugged Duty Series. Put a Chelsea pump on it and it will work just like the full time pump that is on it now....in that you can just flip...

That just reminded me.....I did read that before and my 1100 comes with the heavy duty springs stock because of having the added cab weight. So you may or may not want to add the heavy duty springs to your 900.

Do they come with the switch?

I wouldn't think so. I think it is about 400 pounds? But It barely squats my cab 1100 when I lift the plow.

I'm with Roadworthy...I'd try and find another used one then have lots of spare parts.

This is what my RTV and Boss plow replaced. I only do my own yard, which is a 300 foot driveway and an parking area big enough to turn my tractor trailer around in (which I also no longer have.) I HATED plowing with the F550. Not only was it hard on fuel but visibility sucked. Especially when...

That is what I like! The B5100D! I think those are really cool looking tractors with the hood and grill shape and the external air filter and side exhaust. I gotta find one of those some day. Thanks for posting Baby Grand. I like that trailer too. I was going to buy one of those, but now I...

What did they use for the heated mirrors Gallows? Are they the ones for the Grand L6060 Nordik Edition?

Yes, I'd love to see the rest of them and more pics. I don't know a lot about the old Kubota's other than reading an article on their history. I think some of the early tractors had really nice styling. Right now my orange antique play toy is an Allis but I'd sure like to have an old Kubota. It...

Just wanted to share this. I thought it was pretty cool...

Which is why they are perfect for many people that live in the cities or have small yards. They can mow and garden like a lawn tractor but also do many jobs a lawn tractor can't. Not everyone needs to impress their neighbors by mowing a 1 acre lawn with a 60 horse tractor.

I'm sure millions of people can answer that for you. LOL

I know, but new/used pretty much all the same at this point. Up here interest rates have tripled and everyone is still buying at top dollar. It's crazy.

Well I haven't seen this yet around here. Prices of everything are still ridiculous. An RTV-X1100C has gone up 3 grand since I bought my 2021. A Grand L3560 with only a loader and rear snowblower has gone from 50 grand pre-covid to 86 grand here now. I looked at a used Grand L6060 the other...

I put a Boss V-XT on my RTV-X1100C. It was cheaper than even the Kubota straight blade. And the K-Connect and snow blower was way out of the question here in Canada at a price of over 20 grand. The Boss works well, has LOTS of lift height and the mount does not affect ground clearance for...

My condolences to Roy's family. He was a well respected contributor to this forum as others have said.

You know what they say Hay Dude.....opinions are like a-holes. Everyone has one. LOL

Quote: "However, the LX series didn't make a big splash with buyers and after only two years in production Kubota has done a major overhaul to appeal to buyers." " it's just big enough to be irrelevant." They sure a WHOLE LOT of these irrelevant tractors, LOL Both the B50 series and the LX.

That's a nice setup. Some day I should by a spreader. We usually have very cold dry winters, but last two years we have gotten lots of wet snow and freezing rain and I ended up having to "sand" (only had 7/8's crushed gravel here) by sprinkling with the loader bucket.

I just went from hoe to snow, LOL Took the backhoe off and did the service, put my winter rims and tires on, but didn't hitch the snow blower yet. Might use the box blade until I get a base froze in. Now just have to get RTV ready on my next days off. Hopefully by us doing this it will not...

Guess it's not mine. Mine is a 55 wide front. Good luck, hope you can find it. That would be cool.

I just went and got filters for all my Kubota's last week. I keep a stock at home so I'm never caught without. I asked my dealer if they have had any problems getting parts and they said no, not at all. Only shortages of tractors and implements. But I guess that's what happens when you are the...

I just read this thread. When I bought my RTV-X1100C in summer of 2021 my dealer had lots of them. But when I went to get filters last week he was telling me he didn't have any to sell all summer. I was surprised to hear that. Guess they are in demand. And for those of you that say you are...

I have a set of golf cart mirrors I got off Amazon on my B2620. I mounted them to the loader stanchions by drilling two small holes for each mirror in a non stress area. But since I have done that I have seen other solutions people have come up with, such as using magnets and adhesives if you...

Well, I like my little B2620 I bought years back. Was cheap enough to pay cash, small enough to mow the finished lawns with, has built a mile of bush road and maintains my 21 acres. But if I ever do need something heavier, I have the 55 Allis sitting here on display that can go to work any...

I realize there is changes in the Canadian/US dollar exchange, etc. But a coupe years ago I priced out a Grand L3560 with loader and blower and it was $50,000. It is now $86,000 and there have been ZERO changes or updates to that model. So how do you justify that? Nothing more than a rip off...

That's because JD people are die hard JD people. They won't buy anything that isn't green and yellow and says JD on it. Look at even the antique tractor auctions. The JD's always sell double the price of all other colours, even when the other brands have better models in a specific category.

I have a Dewalt too and find it a pain to bleed when you change grease tubes. What I found that works is don't even bother with the bleeder.....put your new cartridge in, but don't screw it back on tight. Leave it a bit loose then run the gun. Then once grease starts coming out hose, then...

I received the notice for the floor mat, but have not gotten anything for the A-arms. I declined the floor mat recall and had to sign a release letter. I also told Kubota Corporate it's a pretty half a$$ "fix" and I think it looks horrible so they are not touching mine. My mat is still perfect...

Just got a 5 gallon pail of Premium UDT here in Canada yesterday. Was $153 Canadian dollars. Was $120 two years ago and I used to pay $105 for it back in 2013/14

For the OP.....look in the Yanmar forum. A member here has the small Yanmar compact hay equipment. There is You-Tube videos on it also. Only catch is determining if the purchase price of this stuff is worth it for your return.

That is cool. Never seen a Hamster before. I assume it feeds from the bottom and just pushes the hay up as it loads? Nice old tractor too.

I was at my dealer yesterday and we were discussing how prices have gotten completely out of hand. I don't know how the typical homeowner is doing it. I work in a gold mine and I won't pay the prices they are asking for new stuff right now. I'll just keep what I have. Sad part is my dealer...

Sorry if my remark sounded crude, but I watch all kinds of idiots on bikes and atv's racing by my place all day and night wide open with their open race pipes. I raced motorcycles and atv's in the AMA and still ride. I go fast when I'm in a controlled environment....like a track. On the roads...

That's the trade off. You either go DPF and regens, or no no regens, mass EGR and they need higher temps to work.

My condolences to the bull's family. Needlessly killed by a dumbass. Just because your side by side can do 60 MPH doesn't mean you have to do it.

I have a set of clamp on forks I have to use on my Kubota. Better than nothing, but not nearly as nice as quick attach. I had a quick attach and real forks on order for mine because I was going to convert it over. But after waiting over a year and having the delivery date pushed ahead every 3...

My only point is this whole electric future and getting rid of internal combustion is idiotic and is going to be an epic failure. Disagree if you want, but in 2030 I'll be laughing and saying "I told you so." LOL So many better and more reliable ways of reducing pollution and still having...

Plus all the perks. Look at Ice Road Truckers and Highway Through Hell. A couple seasons IRT had Ford And Die Hard sponsorship so everyone had Ford Superduties and Die Hard batteries in the whole fleet. And Jamie Davis suddenly had a whole bunch of brand new Toyota's. Then HTH got Mack...

We already made great strides in reducing pollution to where those orange clouds in your pics don't exists any more......except for the big factories that still pump out pollution. But nobody seems to worry about those, they just want to attack the homeowner and his weed eater. Anyway, I'm...

It is likely a Rekluse clutch Eric. Lots of people are running them now. You are right, everything is going fuel injected now. It's starting to even get hard to find a carb'd two stroke now. I have mixed feelings about it. They run great and you don't have to play with jetting, but now you have...

Cool. Don't get to see a lot of small Case IH tractors here. Are those ones still LS Tractor based or has that changed again? I kinda lost touch since they switched from Shibaura built.

I didn't use anything as advanced as an actual plastic welding kit. I always just used an electric soldering gun and if it was really bad, some pieces of scrap plastic as filler. But I guess you'd want to use something better if you were doing tanks like that. I only had to fix rad shrouds and...

You learn that trade real quick when you race motocross bikes and always have broken plastic, LOL

Like I said previously, get a new dealer. I bought a backhoe for my B series from my dealer. Got a deal on it because it had never sold and was sitting outside in the crate for 2 years. Paint was starting to fade from the sun. I got it home and after I started using it, a hydraulic line started...

That's the problem with the greater percentage of the population now. They are extremely short sighted and easily brainwashed. That's why our current government loves them so much. If you don't think for one second that electric rates are not going to skyrocket once demand ramps up, you better...

I've also seen brand new hoses that have a restriction inside them and were no good.

Sounds like you need a new dealer, not a new brand.

As some have said though, I do see a market for a tractor like that. All the greenies with an acre of lawn to mow or a average size drive to plow would probably make due with it.

That's why I eat a lot of fried food. Can make bio diesel with the french fry oil, LOL They tried an electric crew buggy at the mine. They were thinking of buying them to replace the Toyota's. When they first got it, they raved about it and how good it was. Until it went through a winter. Then...

You may be right. Strange times we live in now. I'm just real glad there isn't anything I REALLY NEED right now. Imagine having to now pay $200,000 for a tractor and $50,000 for a baler to sell hay, LOL

Everything has a higher price now. I'll wait until this predicted recession happens. Bet there will be deals then. Then I'll buy. I don't know if the prices went up that much, but I watched a you tube video yesterday from a dealer in the same province as me. It was on the RTV-X1100C, same as...

Same with my dealer. They know how to order stock. Not wait until it's too late. I asked the owners how they do it. he said when I order, I order 20 of each, not one or two.

Sure, bolted is nice, but I have been doing my gravel yard for 8 years with the blower I am using now and the cutting edge, nor the skid shoes have any noticeable wear yet and I live in a heavy snowfall area. My bucket on my loader has a welded on edge and it is wore down pretty good, but with...

My friend recently bought a brand new Ford truck after seeing how much I liked mine. Well he just sold it off and bought an old pre-emission Ram Cummins again (his 3rd or 4th? that he will do a full body off frame restoration) His reason.....I don't like all the electronics in this new truck. I...

I thought we were talking about a homeowners compact tractor that stays in his own yard. But as usual everyone went off about pickups and commercial on road trucks. I'd also like to know specifically if that tractor can be deleted as per what the OP asked. That would be the only way I'd ever...

Question for those that have owned or operated both the Kubota B2620/B01 series and the JD2R's. I'm curious how the 3 range Kubota and Deere 2 range hydro's compare and how they overlap. For example, my bushroads have some pretty good hills. With my B2620 I can carry full loads of gravel in...

I like the JCB Telehandler but I really like the 1CX.

I have a simple solution. Keep what I have and don't buy any more new ones. They already have too much electronics and fluff in them for my liking anyway.

I forgot about those! I used to drive a Bronco II. Awesome little SUV. That thing went anywhere. As for the original poster, when you look at the price of 4WD garden tractors you are better off to spend a bit more and get a SCUT. Opens the door to a lot more implements and loaders and backhoes...

It's an MX series. With a LA1065 loader.

My Kubota dealer talked everyone OUT of buying one of those.

And perfect for days like today to go for a ride with the wife in a thunder storm. But as you can see, I have hundreds of miles of solid logging roads to ride on. I avoid the mud bogs.

Nothing wrong with it if handled correctly. And would help farmers.

Ya, like I said, I have good solid ground here so it's works. But you are right....not for everyone.

When they quit selling me fuel, I'll be making lots of french fries so I can make my own. LOL We already have the solution to fuel prices and cleaning the environment. It's called corn based fuels. But the government doesn't get enough kickbacks from farmers I guess.

In my area anyway, I have found that these "off brand" tractors like Kioti, LS and Mahindra all came in with significant savings when they were new to market and relatively unknown, but as soon as they started getting popular their prices all became the same with the other brands. Also noticed...

Oh look! A truck with no room in the box to be a truck. LOL Why wouldn't they put it in that front "frunk" as they call it. I'm sorry but anything without at least an 8 foot box is useless to me.

Just found this thread after discovering that hay equipment on You Tube. So they all work good Mausermark? The baler has been dependable? That compact hay equipment is perfect for small hobby farms and equine owners.

Just watched an episode of Classic Tractor Fever that was showing when they used to use Wheel Horse lawn tractors at the Indianapolis Raceway as race car tugs to pull the formula one cars around. Back when lawn tractors were made with real metal.

Depends what kind of trail riding you do. I LOVE my RTV-X1100C. But my trails are all pretty good ground. I don't go mud bogging. But I love how the RTV will climb anything even at almost idle. It is quiet, I get to see lots of scenery and wildlife. It will climb hills in 2WD that my atv's will...

If you do decide on getting just a quick hitch, I bought a Braber Equipment. It is identical to the Land Pride and was half the price. Been using it for 8 years with many implements, no issues. It has an adjustable top hook also, so it works with my implements that are not quick hitch compatible...

Some brands are compatible. I switched mine to Peak Global coolant. It can be mixed with other types of coolant and is good for 12,000 (I think?) hours with just regular testing with their test strips. It does not require a flush without filling either. As long as their 70% of it in the system...

I also remember global warming that killed the dinosaurs. Guess maybe they should have quit farting and driving their diesel trucks too.

We have a big wind farm up on one of the mountains here. Over 100 wind turbines. It was built just a few years ago. Recently one of them took a lightning hit, caused a blade to go out of balance and the whole tower came down. So they brought a crew in to inspect them all. EVERY SINGLE ONE IS...

Titan and Good Year ag tires are made by Carlisle. I don't know what is going on with them, mine all keep cracking and splitting on the sidewalls. And I don't leave my tractors outside in the sun when not in use. And I always watch pressures. The good thing is even though the cracks look like...

I tried watching the E class while watching Moto GP motorcycle racing. I couldn't make it more than 5 minutes. it was about as exciting as watching the grass grow with no engine sounds.

Never. I'm old school. I like the sound, feel and smell of combustion vehicles. I know electric motors can produce more torque and I don't care if I have to pay a fortune for fuel....I'm a gear head and I like what I grew up with. I hate change and I hate technology. Not to mention this electric...

Awesome! Don't regret it. Those old gas tractors are simple, cheap to fix and reliable as a stone. Your mechanic is only being negative because he knows he's gunna lose income from you because you will never have to get anything fixed. I know my 1955 Allis is going to outlive EVERYTHING in my yard.

Awesome Randy52. I have a 55 CA, but it don't look as good as yours. I want to have it restored but haven't had the time yet, now can I find anyone in my area to do it.

I priced the Kubota mudflap kit here in Soviet Canukistan and it was $300 before tax. So I said no thanks, I'll do my own. Just haven't decided how to do it yet.

I'm just real picky. I didn't want anything that looks unfinished. I've read a few posts about removing the mat altogether because the floor can rust under it, but I would think that make make it even louder in the cab. As it is, rocks coming off the front tires sound like someone is shooting...

As for the floor mat recall, I can't see how the mat could ever get bad enough to catch the pedals in the first place?? Seems like I have lots of room and this is how mine came from factory.

I saw the mirrors I think you are talking about. They look like a really nice setup. But with my cabbed RTV, there is no roll bar to clamp them to. Put these mirrors to the test yesterday. Went for a 50 mile trail ride and even going through brush they did not move. Only thing is, being...

I wouldn't buy anything right now. Prices are insane. Wait until the economy crashes, which will be soon, then there will be all kinds of deals again. Prices are rising so fast the last year Kubota Canada took most of the prices off their web site. I'm holding off any purchases right now. I...

I saw pics on another forum of someone that got the same "fix" as you. Once I saw that I called them and told NS not to come, and I locked my doors, LOL They said I would have to sign a waiver with Kubota that I refused. I said sure, but they never sent me one. My floor mat is still perfect and...

That's actually a real tractor? LOL Never heard of one before.

Why? That seemed legit, LOL🤣 They even have a Swaraj tractor. Isn't that the one that is beating Deere and Kubota in sales? 😁

Agco got hit by a cyber attack.

I recently had to try and help a newish Ram and a Jeep owner on the side of the road trying to get their swollen lug nuts off to change a tire. So it's not just Ford's. My friend just got uncoated steel replacement nuts for his F150 and that's what I'll do if I keep mine past warranty.

I don't remember what brand system was on my 77, but I live where winter temps go down to minus 40 and I've never had it where that truck never started. Except once.....but it was the mixer finally wore out. Replaced it and it was all good again.

I used to have a 77 Ford F100 that had a 351M on propane. I loved that truck. Had zero issues with the propane in winter. And if you build a motor for propane with high compression you can get some pretty good power from them. I can't remember how big my tank was (had two narrow tanks mounted...

I know my B2620 is very good on fuel. Used to take my 20 h.p. Craftsman lawn tractor 4.5 gallons to mow around my house one time. The Kubota can do it 13 times on that amount.

I had got that recall too but I called my dealer and said I'm not hauling it there in the winter with salt on the highway, so they said no problem......they hadn't got the fix or the parts from Kubota anyway. Plus I figured, I'd plow with it all winter, then have it changed in the spring so the...

Thanks Coobie. You got a nice setup too. But I couldn't stand waiting for Kubota to get more in stock so figured I'd see if I could make something work.

Coobie has a nice setup with his HeliMod extensions, but for those that already have the Kubota rear view mirrors on their RTV-X1100C, here is a cheap solution to make them better. My son hit one of our buildings getting too close while plowing and shattered the glass in one of the plastic...

I'm a Kubota guy but as far as the B3350, don't walk away......RUN. Even if the whole emission system was replaced.....it's still a poor design on that particular engine.

I already don't believe the survey. NH ranks best? I couldn't find a New Holland dealer in Ontario or Michigan that would sell me a Boomer. Or call back.

Well since my friends don't wanna ride slow, I just ordered something that will keep up with their UTV's, LOL

But, unfortunately that's the way it works. I saw and heard a lot of bad about John Deere when I was set on buying one, so looked and bought another brand that has kept me happy and trouble free. So then you stay with that brand. It's the same with vehicles. I've had so many automobile engines...

At the time he told me Kubota was far better to deal with than Deere. He said when something goes wrong with a Kubota part a factory rep is on the phone discussing what to do to make it better. he said when he deals with Deere they try and find ways to deny claim.

How many miles do you normally get to a tank? I can get about 60 out of my gas Polaris's.

I'm no expert on Deere's. I just notice there doesn't seem to be a lot of talk about problems on the Deere tractors above the 2R's. There are lots of happy 2R owners too. But every time you look at the forums you see the same issues year after year on the 2R's. And my dealer is both Deere and...

Love my RTV-X1100C. My two atv's are sitting in the shed ignored because everyone wants to use the RTV. Only downside is it's not fast enough for my turbo 1000 UTV friends. So I trail ride by myself in comfort now. LOL Then I get home from a day of trail riding and put a DROP of fuel into it...

Might need some setup Ken45101. My RTV-X1100C will do 25/26 MPH, verified by my Garmin GPS and the speedo, all day long. AC on or off with my wife and I in it. We do lots of trail riding and roading. PS....mine has the stock Worksite tires.

I personally wouldn't buy any Deere under the 3R size. Since I've been following and buying compact tractors since 2008, I see all the same issues year after year on the 2 series Deere's. They get updated and new graphics and same old problems. Sure they have lots of fancy features, like auto...

That's good to hear. That has been my biggest fear, LOL Honestly, I don't know if the Ford's are any different, but I made a living in aluminum cab class 8 trucks and I've never had a problem with aluminum bodies. I do though, love the fact that this F150 is not going to have the body rotted...

Hmmmm.......maybe I'll just buy a Sidekick to go along with my RGV-X1100C. Kubota hasn't let me down yet.

I don't know? But I have never had loaded tires or chains. We get on average 13.5 feet of annual snowfall. But admittedly most years it gets cold before it snows. Only the last two years have we had lots of rain/freezing rain between cold and snowfalls. I use the loader and a rear snow blower...

Yep, I was looking at one of those too, the 50 inch wide sport model, to replace my two Polaris atv's just to have something faster than my RTV1100 for when I have to ride with my friends. Like you say, CV-Tech clutches and the engines are made in the KTM factory. And for way less dollars than...

You don't need to answer, but if you are financing Kubota and John Deere (Gator) have zero percent. You will never get that from Polaris/Can Am/Honda/Kawi, etc. And Kubota has KTAC insurance which is hard to beat as far as coverage goes.

Sent you a PM.

Funny, but I have no problem with R4's on snow and ice. Last winter my 2013 B2620 started getting hard to steer on ice because the original R4's have some wear and the lugs don't have nice sharp square edges any more, so I put fresh new R4's on and no issues. Just proper air pressures and...

We find lots of awesome stuff. Old castings and equipment. And it is really cool to see how those buildings were put together back then with nothing but hand tools. I can't even imagine the work that old generation did. And all of these sites have tons of core samples left behind.

Those are awesome!!!! Man that brings back some memories!!

Looks good!

Ya, it's pretty sad in trucking now. There is no money in my area. And crashes on the highway and closures daily. Now when something breaks down, no stress. Sit and get paid. Yes, I see you are from a big coal area Citydude. They are sure trying to kill that industry off now too. Everyone has...

I used to use a single axle Mission aluminum double atv trailer. It was nice, was only 360 pounds and was rated to carry 2300 pounds. So was perfect for 2 atv's or a side by side. But then I bought my RTV and it is 2400 pounds and another 400 for the plow. Plus I wanted something to take my 55...

Just one of the smaller gold mines in Northern Ontario. I won't name names because some of these places are pretty quirky about what you say about them on social media, LOL It's underground, but I'm the operator on surface.\ I was both a driver and owner operator in trucking for 36 years but I...

Yes jjeff, all the pics except the one with my RTV are the same location. One of the old iron ore mines in Wawa, Ontario that started in the late 1800's. There is still stockpiles of iron ore there.

Awesome three wheeler! I remember back in the day we used to stud them up and ice race them. And then the 250 2 strokes came along and we switched to those. Nice pics. I haven't been out on the lakes up here but it has been many nights of minus 36 to 40 before the windchill. Better keep that...

I have the big part figured out now. I buy antique tractors for the big ones. Cheap to buy and never die. Convert to 12 volt, and electronic ignition, good for the next 60 years. P.S. Cat can't make it up until Monday. We are now buried in snow and I was trying to clear the essential areas of...

No sorry no map wpala. The above pics are from Wawa. Except for the one of my RTV in front of the lake. That is at Haviland Bay, by where I live. Just PM me this summer and I can give you directions or go with you. I had bikes too. I had CR250's, a CR500 and a KTM300EXC. All sold now. Now I...

Ya, I love emission motors. I quit trucking after 36 years because these new motors were making me suicidal. Every second day, trip to the dealer. So got a job as an equipment operator in a mine. The new cat loader I run has been going strong for the year and half I have had it. It even had me...

Yes, it's just crazy out there now. Another good reason for some nice atv rides, get out and enjoy life.

I hear you there too. I used to do lots of riding in Michigan, but I don't want to deal with the border either until all this covid stuff calms down. I do have all my vaccines though because of my job, but I just don't keep up on what is required now to cross.

Oh, I'll invite anyone to come. I just called it an RTV ride because I want to drive my RTV in comfort and not my atv's. And my RTV can only go 25 MPH. But people that want to ride fast can go ahead and find a mudhole or something to play in until I catch up, LOL

Gunna cross the border Coobie?

Yes, too bad you all are not closer. You would all be welcome. Then there's the covid mess at the borders you have to deal with. Even at the slower speeds, we can still get a lot of area covered. Only difference is we'd have to trailer them for certain locations to save time, unlike the ATV's...

So came up with an idea. I do all kinds of atv/utv rides with my friends. But they all have turbo 1000's and we end up doing lots of 50 to 60 MPH riding. Well, I'm ready to do something different. A SLOW RIDE, LOL I'm thinking of trying to get any fellow RTV riders (or any other atv's/utv's...

And yes, last year and this year are sure not our normal Canadian winters. Must be all that steaming BS spewing out our PM's mouth. LOL

Hey Jake, send me another email. It went to spam folder and got deleted before I noticed it was you.

Just a light dusting again. But I was bored, so I went out and plowed it again, LOL

Really? I've ran them on dump trucks with 72 inch spread and 46,000 pound rating and they were almost as good as the air ride. Worst ride I find is the Hendrickson RS rubber block with the three round pucks. I prefer air ride on the trucks, but I liked having the Chalmers on the pup trailer...

This is the second level to my back yard. It's hard to gauge the hill in the pic, but here you can see it climbs higher than the roof of my house that can be seen here. (right in center of pic) I couldn't plow up to the next level because I had a washout in late fall that I never got a chance to...

Been a pretty easy winter here so far. Every time we get snow and minus 40, a couple days later it rains and melts. So I decided to plow some of my bush road to take the dog for runs.

Nice pics plastikosmd That looks cool on the ice.

No, that price was for the 6x6 Frontier 650. The 8x8's were way more last time I looked.

When I was young there was a big construction company here that had a fleet of S-Line's with DT466power, 13 speeds and they had Detroit locker rears. They were probably even the 34's you have because they were just the small S1700 series. They had big rock boxes on them and were pretty much...

You did say it has an Allison auto? You get it stuck in soft ground, just lock the power divider in (not moving to be safe) The auto will have less chance of shock loading or driver error. That is what breaks things. Not saying you have driver error....just that it does happen. There is also...

I've been wanting another Argo. There's something cool about being able to drive out into the lake. I recently test rode and was going to buy a new Frontier 650. They drive and steer really good now. But for the same reason I will no longer buy Polaris, my Polaris dealer is the Argo dealer...

If you only have a plow, you will be kicking yourself if you let it build up. I did the same thing our first storm. I just got a new RTV1100 with a Boss vee plow and our first storm was that heavy wet snow mixed with rain. I waited until there was over a foot before I went out to plow and I...

Like you said Hay Dude, I think you are overthinking it. As long as the truck hasn't been abused, you won't break those rears doing what you are doing. I wouldn't spend money replacing them. As for you're other question, Chalmers was the walking beams on a big center mounted round rubber block...

I don't have that problem. Both my B2620 diesel and my 55 gas Allis and two 71 gas Massey's are in proper tune so I don't smell exhaust at all. But oddly my RTV does have diesel exhaust smell, but I like that smell.

Loggers here loved that RT spring over walking beams. So much so that truck dealers were still ordering trucks for the lots with it up into the year mid 2000's before guys finally started trusting air ride off road. I don't miss the days of laying in the snow in the winter changing spring packs...

Same with me! There are far many other things that are going to kill us and this planet before my tractor exhaust does, LOL

Ya, sorry, I meant just engine. I knew the machine itself wasn't Kubota. Though isn't it funny the Cat mini wheel loaders look an awful lot like the Kubota R630/R640's? I always wondered if there were any ideas shared there?

Holy crap! That sucks. Damn mice. Something you really don't think about checking for.

That was another thing I heard. Last winter, another contractor working at our mine had a Sherp and the guys said they froze to death in it. None of them thought it was a pleasurable ride in the winter.

Said to my wife, I'd be better off to just buy you a new SUV, then take our VW Tiguan High Line and put some aggressive tires on it, and use it for a UTV. Then I'd have my climate controlled leather seats and high end stereo system, LOL

From the article I had read a while back: An interesting element of this year's launch of new products from Caterpillar's Building Construction Products (BCP) division is the use of Cat-branded, Kubota-built engines in the new D-Series skid steer loaders and compact track loaders and E-Series...
