    Small Rear Engine Riding Mowers

    I'm looking for a small rear engine riding mower for my wife or I to use on our 1/4 acre lot. We do not need anything big and these types fit through our gates easily and get around objects in the yard. We're looking to purchase something new and the only ones we've been able to find are the...

    Slime in Trailer Tires

    What's the general opinion on putting Slime in trailer tires? I have a spare for my trailer, but thought Slime might not be such a bad idea to stop a leak rather than having to do a side of the road change of a flat if that were to happen. What does everyone think? I'd still carry the spare...

    Lester Buildings or Others

    I decided against getting a pre-built shed. What could have been delivered was going to be too small (10' x 20'). I have begun looking at pole barns. One company that I'm looking at is Lester Buildings. Does anyone have any experience with them? Also, this building is going to be built in...

    Antietam Tractor in Hagerstown, MD is having an Open House this Friday and Saturday. I have a list of attachments that I covet, but can't get them all at once. The open house should be a good time to get a good deal, so here's what I'd like to get in no particular order: Chipper/Shredder...

    Pre-Built Shed or Something Else?

    I'm planning on getting a pre-built 12'x20' garage/barn/shed type building to place on my property. It should run about $3500. The building will be used to store some tools and some tractor implements, maybe set-up some bunks for staying overnight, could possibly be used to house the tractor...

    Where to buy fuel?

    Okay, this has got to be the dumb question of the day. Where is the best place to buy diesel fuel? Do you just go to the corner gas station and fill your tractor up with diesel from the pump and maybe an extra can to take along? Or is there some special place that tractor owners go to get...

    Driveway Materials?

    I'm going to use an excavator to have a driveway and landing put in at my property. I had planned on that when getting my tractor (B7800). I didn't want to get a tractor large enough to do the driveway job. I figured somebody with a dozer and other heavy equipment would be able to do a better...

    Any Experience With These Trailer Brands?

    I didn't get any recommendations for any particular trailer brands, so I thought I might be able to find some people that have experience with the brands that I've found available near me. They are: Bartley Big Tex C&C Industries Hudson Premier Worthington Aluma Holmes I'm looking for good...

    Trailer Recommendations

    My B7800 arrived yesterday morning. My neighbor was out the door and watching them unload it from the truck about a minute after they arrived. I hadn't even told him it was coming. On the other hand, my wife told me that the lady across the street with the pristine lawn gave me several...

    Purposeful Post, No, but Kubota Nicknames

    Since I ordered my tractor last weekend, I've been telling my kids that Daddy bought a pumpkin, can't wait to get his pumpkin, and try his pumpkin out. If you're not familiar KTM dirtbikes are referred to as pumpkins, of course because they are orange, so I just stole the term from there. I...

    Done Deal - B7800

    It's kind of funny, I ended back where I started and got a B7800 today. I guess if I had just done it a few weeks ago I may not have felt as comfortable about the decision as I did today. Hopefully I will still feel the same way after I really get to use it. I'll take delivery on it in a...

    Any Final Thoughts

    For those of you that paid attention to the thread Down to Orange , I have every intention of going to the dealer tomorrow morning and buying a tractor. Which one? I still don't know. I have definitely eliminated the B7610, why get one of those when I can still get a B2410. The B2410 would...

    Conflicting Weight Numbers

    I'm getting some conflicting numbers on the weight of the tractors I'm looking at. I came up with an estimated weight of 3,000 lbs for a B7800 and 2,500 lbs for a B2410/B7610. This is including a FEL, filled R-4 tires, and all fluids. One dealer told me about 3,000 lbs for a B7800 and another...

    Down to Orange

    After much soul searching and not the most agreeable conversation (tractors in general) with the misses I have my choices down to one brand and that would be Kubota. My model choices are: B2410 w/LA352 B7610 w/LA352 B7800 w/LA402 B2630 w/LA403 B3030 w/LA403 (outside shot) Here's the...

    Overall Length/Weight of B7800 & B3030 w/FEL

    I was very close to purchasing a B7800 or B3030 today, but I had a little uncertainty. This was mainly because I don't have a trailer yet for hauling. I need to know the overall length of both the B7800 and B3030 from the front of the bucket on the ground to the end of the 3pt hitch. And if...

    Frederick, Maryland & Vicinity Dealers

    I sat on and drove my first test tractors last evening at the NH dealer in Frederick. I drove a TC23 to get a feel for that size chasis (wanted to try a TC26) and tried a TC33 w/supersteer to checkout that size (wanted to try a TC29). Anyway, I really have the bug now. I went by Frederick...

    Explanation of PTO Types

    I've started researching compact tractors in order to purchase one in the near future. I've read Muhammad's book and that was a great help. I'm just a little unsure about the different PTO types. Can most attachments be used with most PTOs? Example: Can a post hole digger be used with a...
