I have a 0% for 60 months loan with Kubota and I'm paid up through November. I notice on my bill it says "good through August 18" but the next payment isn't due until December. The problem is they add $20 to my balance of the loan every month in the middle of the month if I don't make a payment...

I'm noticing a big increase in trash being dumped on my land as well as the sides of the road in my area. Now, I've always had the occasional fool throw stuff out on my land every now and then but this is becoming a more frequent occurrence and it's making me irate! So far this week I've had two...

What percentage discount is considered "normal" or "good" when comparing prices from the build your own to what the dealer sells them for when it comes to the Gator xuv and Kubota RTV? I just wanted to know how much to expect off compared to the price shown on the build your own website. I know...

Nissan Titan Wears Best Pickup Warranty in America - PickupTrucks.com News

Has anyone ever rented from Blanchard CAT or their local CAT dealer? I need to rent a mini-ex with a thumb for a weekend to finish tearing down an old house so I can get it hauled off. I'm guessing a 9000-10000 would be fine for my uses. I was told it was cheaper to rent straight from the CAT...

Good friend of mine recently bought a "new" to him 2013 Silverado with 79000 miles. It was his cousins truck and he bought it off of him. I rode in it with him yesterday and notice the engine idling pretty rough whenever we would sit still. It was very noticeable but I didn't want to say...

This is insane! Ford's New EcoBoost 3.5-Liter V-6 Offers Monster Torque - PickupTrucks.com News

They FINALLY agreed to sell me a truck at a fair price and no shenanigans. I said bye to GM and their crazy prices and laughable rebates. I've been a GM man all my life but that will only get you so far. Ford's been catching my eye and they finally got me to bite. You can't beat the rebates...

Ford Shows Off Updated EcoBoost Powertrain - PickupTrucks.com News

Something weird is going on with KCC because I've paid my payment twice and it has yet to clear my bank or be credited to my account. My payment was due on the 3rd and I made the first payment on the 30th. The 3rd rolls around and no withdrawl from my bank account and no credit to my Kubota...

I recently tore down an old concrete block building on some property I have. Didn't feel like hauling loads of concrete blocks off or renting a roll off dumpster to throw them in, so I did something really stupid.....I put a free add on Craigslist. Boy was that a mistake! Phone constantly rang...

Spied: 218 Ford F-15 Turbo-Diesel - PickupTrucks.com News

Anyone feel like sharing tips on dealing with carpenter bees? Anyone tried any of the traps? Are they legit or just junk? These things try to eat up my tractor shed every spring and I need to know how to get rid of these stupid things! A tennis racket is fun but doesn't seem overly effective.

Has anyone ever had a dealership call them twice a day, every day, for two whole weeks and REFUSE to come down on their asking price? What's the point? I've got to where I don't even answer their calls anymore because it's just a waste of time. Why do they keep calling? Their numbers don't match...

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and he was wanting to upgrade his tractor to a larger model. He asked me if I knew if dealers took in trades that were financed, I told him I didn't have a clue. I guess it would depend on the dealer and if the tractor was financed through...

My lights on my truck keep blowing out one by one. First it was the daytime running lights(typical of GM), then it was a reverse light, now a headlight. Could this be the alternator overcharging?

Hate taking my truck to the dealership but with these "free maintenance" services it's almost money wasted if you don't. It took these morons over 3 hours to do an oil change and a tire rotation and alignment. THREE HOURS. It didn't take that long to build the **** truck on the assembly line I...

I've never owned a Kubota but have been looking at the L3301 and the L3901 lately. This won't be my main tractor but it will be used for some loader work and odd jobs around the farm, some work in the woods, etc. 30ish hp would fit the bill perfectly for the tasks I have planned for it and I've...

I decided to buy my mom a new car today, 2016 Toyota Camry XSE. I wanted her to look at other brands but she was dead set on another Camry and I wanted her to have nicer features since her 2013 Camry L is pretty plain. The car stickered for $27,xxx and they had LE's on the lot for about $300...

I'm at my wits end with my four wheeler. I had an idling problem where it would idle and gradually slow down until it cut off, didn't matter if it was warm or cold. Fixed all that....I think. Now I was riding it and within 5 mins it started acting like it wasn't getting any fuel and died on me...

2017 Ford Super Duty: Introduction - PickupTrucks.com News

I remember the days when dealership service departments didn't require you to make an appointment for basic things like oil changes and tire rotations and things like that.

2004 Toyota Tacoma in Savannah, GA- 11731219 at carmax.com page#tab3 Friend of mine is looking for a truck for his son and asked me about this one. It's a 2004 Tacoma 4wd and has only 35k miles! The catch is it's a 2 owner and was involved in a wreck back in 2005 according to the AutoCheck...

What a joke! I might just have to say forget buying a new truck ever again. This is ridiculous. Ram Cuts Powertrain Warranty for 2016 - PickupTrucks.com News

I have been kicking around the idea that my next truck is going to be a 3/4 ton (or a 1 ton SRW). I'm probably 3 years away from buying but may jump earlier than that if I can find a deal that's just too good to pass up. I don't want a new diesel and the new gas engines in these trucks get gas...

I think I'll need to buy tires for my Ford 3600 sometime this year. I think it has the original ones on it to be honest because they are pretty weather cracked but the tread is still decent(tread appears to match the hours on the tractor). I've run the tires for almost a year but don't want to...

Well this stinks like all get out. GM to cut Chevy, GMC powertrain warranty to 60,000 miles-report - Yahoo Finance

I inherited an acre of land from my father's estate that I'm not sure what to do with. I say an acre, I would guess it's 1.3 acres or so. It has a well on it that hasn't been used in a couple of years and I'm not paying to have it tested or fixed, has city water hookup, is right next to a busy...

Got my Ford 3600 delivered last weekend and have had it working around the farm and am loving it! I tried to post some pics from my phone but the app doesn't appear to be working or maybe I'm having issues with my phone(I can't even start a new thread on my phone right now for some reason). I...

M having trouble with my honda not wanting to idle. It will idle fine for a few seconds and then gradually die, acts like it starts starving for fuel. It'll do this when I crank it up and even when I've ridden it for awhile. I've replaced the carb last year, new petcock, took the carb apart and...

It seems like every other month a stray dog shows up at my house and won't leave. I don't feed them, matter of fact I try to chase them away but most of the time they don't move along. I'll take time out of my day to take one to the spca and I swear as soon as I get home it seems like there's...

It was free and figured it should be ok but wanted to ask to be sure.

After years of kicking the idea back and forth and finding all sorts of reasons NOT to buy a utility vehicle, I ended up talking myself into one finally. I looked at several including the Gator 825i and 550, Mule 610, Honda Pioneer, and Polaris Ranger 400 & 570. Ended up buying the 570 in camo...

What in the world is going on??? In the past 2 months every single Dodge and Ford dealership within reasonable driving distance of me have either been bought out by some new dealership that owns 5 other dealerships or they are going partners with them. Now, I'll admit the service was never the...

I am having to sell one of my tractors because I need to buy a skid steer. Stinks because I just bought this tractor a little over a month ago and have enjoyed it. I've thought about selling one of my other tractors but I use them too much and even though I use this 5325 I use it the least out...

Let the Games Begin: Ford and Ram Do Battle Over Best-in-Class Claims - PickupTrucks.com News

Came across this '89 John Deere 2155 awhile back. I see the guy has dropped the price from $19,000 to 18,000. That's still too high in my opinion. Granted it does come with a tiller, but to be honest I wouldn't even want that. I'd like to make him an offer and see if he will sell me just the...

Decided to trade in my 5203 mfwd for a 5325 mfwd with 650 hours. Needed a slightly larger tractor and found a good clean one with low hours, and power reverser transmission. Can't go wrong with that! Here's the link to the tractor I'm trading for...

Was car browsing with my girlfriend tonight and noticed something that looked odd. The back hatch was completely left open on a 70k Denali. If that isn't bad enough, we just got tons of rain this weekend! The back didn't look flooded but water did get in and I'm sure mildew will set in. How...

I'm wanting to buy a new push lawn mower here soon. I would love some suggestions on brands or are most push mowers all the same just different colors? I don't really want one with a rear bagger on it and not sure if I want one with self propelled or not. I've looked at ones from Walmart, Lowes...

First Drive: 2013 Ram HD 2500/3500 - PickupTrucks.com News

I bought my mother a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu when the new re-design came out in '08. It's been a nice car overall, pretty reliable, but has started doing stupid little things that have made me question the build quality of it. Things like some gas tank sensor went out in the 3rd year, radio went...

I have been using the same Deere dealer for about 15 years. Before a larger franchise bought them out they were a small, local dealership. When the larger dealer bought them out they retained most of the people from the old one. Everything went right on along like it always did. However, here...

For those that have had to order a loader, how long did it take to come in? Few days? Week? Longer? I just ordered a 553 loader for my tractor and salesman said he'd call when it came in.

First Look: 2014 Toyota Tundra - PickupTrucks.com News

I know Deere recently announced that the power reverser transmission would be offered in the lower horsepower 5E tractors, but apparently you can't order them yet. I tried to build one and I saw the power reverser option but it wouldn't allow me to click on it. I think I'm going to sell my 5203...

I'll admit, I am quite dissapointed. You would think they would have released at least ONE new engine, but all they did was dress up old engines (minus the 6.2 which in my opinion they have ruined by putting on AFM). The "all new" stuff they're touting is either cheesy or has been around since...

I'm on the build your own website and was going to build a 5065m tractor but I don't see where they have one listed? I hadn't heard they were discontinuing this tractor, but from the looks of it, it starts at the 5075m.

I came across this video and thought I'd ask what causes the 3 point hitch to make that loud clicking sound and to bounce like that. is this what some Kubota owners refer to as "jerky 3 point hitch"? 2007 KUBOTA M6040DT For Sale - YouTube

Been eyeing this tractor for a couple of weeks now. Dealer about 2 hours from me has it but I haven't had a chance to see it in person yet. I was curious if the price seemed in line for the condition or is it a little high perhaps? I need to find out the hours and whatever else the dealer can...

Since I've had two brand new atv's stolen within the past two years I pretty much learned to live without one around my farm for the past year. I began realizing just how much I missed having one and how much I actually used it, so I talked myself into looking at used atv's. No more new atv's...

I have kicked myself from the first day of owning my 5203 that I didn't opt for the fel. I knew I would eventually get it so the joystick and all the hydraulics are in place, all I need to buy is the fel. I think since the 522 fel is no more there's a new model of fel for these tractors and was...

I've decided my farm needs a tractor STRICTLY for bush hogging. The day I find what I'm looking for, I will bring it home, hook it to the bush hog, and that will be it's life forever.

I was curious why Deere uses a 5cyl in there 5065m and 5075m(formerly the 5225/5325). As far as I can tell theese are the only tractors that Deere puts these engines in. The 4cyl is used in the 5085m on up to through the 6D series, and maybe the 6030 premium tractors(not sure though)? Also Deere...
