    Kubota or mahindra

    Well Kubota has an excellent reputation for being a high quality tractor manufacturer. I am assuming that your decision is if you are willing to spend the extra money for the Kubota. If you can, then you probably should.

    Is there a way that I can convey my personal experience with their product to someone at the company who actually cares? It doesn't appear that they listen to their sales people.

    skid plates for 3x20s?

    I was working a brush pile Sunday and had log pop up and crush my step :( Luckily it didn't do any other damage. But I was looking around underneath and noticed how vulnerable the tractor is to this kind of damage. I asked my salesman about a skid plate kit and he suggested the LVB25453...

    JD tow truck

    It's always fun to play tow truck. We slammed in a new 3 rail horse fence last weekend on a new pasture. When the two guys I had working with me were leaving they threw they left over pine poles in their 3/4t PU and headed out the dirt (now mud) access road. They got around the first corner and...
