    SCUT Shopping Road Trip 2/28/25

    After years of research and literally a dozen of more dealerships available, took the road trip today with one in chamber, ready to pull the trigger. I think being the last day of the month motivated some salesman 😁. All the guys I worked with were super nice and thankful for their help. I had...

    Car and Truck Repair Skyrocketing Costs

    I do most of my own work, have not had anything major done in a while, the last was condenser coil on 2015 Silverado for $900. I must be out of touch from what I'm hearing. Same truck at 124k miles and their telling me ticking time bomb for the transmission to fail. Some recent horror stories...

    Income Taxes: Turbo Tax - H&R Block - File Your Own?

    Well I'm on the fence to continue paying our tax guy $250 again for what is now a very simple return. I just did it by hand using the 1040 .pdf file and know what the results should be. I've always done my own but the past 20 years we have used her family friend tax guy and the bill was $340...

    Tractor Sales In This Volatile Market

    What do you guys think? Will dealers soon be begging you to come buy and offer great deals on current inventory? OR Will dealers hold out for the better price being unsure when their inventory will be replenished? I think we can agree the economy is getting ready to take a hard hit, just...

    SCUT with AG Tires Question

    YES. another AG vs R4 tire thread. I was comparing tires at the MF dealer recently and he had identical SCUTS with R4's and AG tires. I wish I would have looked at the brand a little more closely now. I know people say AG for best traction, but these AG tires did not look aggressive at all...

    Used SCUT TLB Market: Massey and Kubota With Pricing

    Did this just for fun and I know it has been discussed here. Obviously most people are upside down on their 0% financing deals when trying to sell and the ones that are many years old have really high pricing. All the more reason to buy new. I would also think that most people that have $15-20k...

    Test Drive Massey Ferguson GC1723E/GC1725M

    Here is recent review for these models. Somewhat long and may not be useful to anyone but a non owner like me. Looks like the biggest complaint was steering and control levers are tight for a big man's comfort. So for the GC owners, what are your complaints with your units.... Thanks

    Craftsman Briggs 14.5 HP Engine Surging at Full Thottle

    Seems to be an age old problem but haven't fixed mine yet. Here is the story: 1. FIL's late 90's mower sitting for 3 years want to get it running to sell. 2. New gas then float stuck, hydrolocked, filled crankcase with gas, lots of smoke, and a heck of a mess. Spark plug looks good, have...

    SCUT: Massey / Iseki vs. Kubota / Kubota

    I have to ride past a MF dealership on the way to look at Kubotas where I am comparing the GC1710 to a BX25D. Has anyone looked at both of these in person before buying and did anyone go with the MF? I have now ridden both at the dealerships. In my mind Kubota is king for SCUT's but this Massey...

    BX25 Quality Issues

    Looking at BX25D at the dealer yesterday and noticed a bad 12-18" of weld on the backhoe. My flip phone pics will not do it justice and if it had a good coat of paint on it it wouldn't be noticed, weld located to the bottom side of the large Kubota decal. My past job experience tells me most...
