When you start a Kubota Min ex like this does the hr meter flash zero across the screen basically a screen test and then show the hrs? I assume it will show hrs running or not, but I speculate maybe the sales guy put the key in turned it on to see 000000 hrs flash on the screen for long enough...

Not trying to be that guy but .. today I guess I am. That is black by the way... @LittleBill21 said "Gray" the grease has absorbed dust blowing around and so has the cylinder... if kept in the rain outside on a dirt lot that can and will splash up a lot of dirt as well same as on a flat bed...

Not an expert but was in another thread reading the type aka makeup of the grese needs to be compatible with what is already in the machine, so avoiding mixing of different brands and staying with what is recommend by the manufacture is and can be a good thing. this is related to the quality or...

Because he is complaining about pennies while burning $100 in the process. loosing 0% and a deal being made to get a machine he wanted while complaining about 7.1 hrs and some dirt. dirt could have been rectified by the good dealer and a honest sit down of where did these 7 hrs come from

incomplete unit? so how many hrs does it take to complete it? might have had a few hrs getting it dialed in by the dealer. I suspect a few hrs to move it around, from factory to the countless lots to get to you. when they said zero did you expect litteteally zero? look at the blade in...

I like smoked brisket... ;)

tire version are more stable then you feel and in some cases lifting a set of wheels up is a feature. Track machine will go places a tractor could never go soft mud and side hills and they are way different than a tire version

each machine has its strengths and weakness and those very in the application they are used in. moving dirt around a house with 6 feet clearance skidsteer would run circles around a TLB all day long. On a farm towing a trailer full of dirt that you just loaded up TLB is great at towing ok...

Honestly .. I think you should keep the old one and make the decision to sell separate of the decision to buy something else. a lot of history and the $$ gain is pennies. Besides snow what do you want to do with the machine? what type of snow plowing are you doing? driveway, long road ...

The only issue with AGM batteries is they NEED - WANT a higher voltage for charge levels to be fully charged. Depending on or where your installing this an AGM might actually be a hindrance and negative over just a regular Lead battery if the alternator charge output is is low voltage wise...

Road convey plenty of times with my grandfather in larger farm equipment combine, planter, sprayers, even drove mind you I was 10. key is be smart take the right road slow down and speed up slowly but with that said where I live now some roads I wouldn't even consider it past a mile or 2

I agree 30 min low idle is bad practice. start it, once smooth running half to 3/4 throttle if you want to warmn things up some but 3-5 min is plenty. then work it. diesel will never heat up at idle.

Kubota, JD, Case have construction lines as well which I suspect helps with dealerships and brand recognition. so in areas that aren't farming focused these lines thrive well with construction and then when they need a sub 50hp tractor there is already the built in location for construction...

most diesel engines will never get to operating temp at idle, and with no thermostat I bet that motor is cold as cold. a lot of semi and pickups Cummins actually have a high idle feature for situations where you need it run while not driving to maintain a proper engine temp and not wash the...

could always use wheel weights.... bolt on bolt off never goes bad

Honesty with a 1 mile road, I would consider plowing during a storm and or right after it stops with a snow plow. you could buzz down the road with 2-4 inches of snow and blow and throw it off the road fairly easily, then do it again a few hrs latter during a snow event. The issue is your...

I didn't have time to read it all... I agree independent review if you can't or don't have the mechanical knowledge to review anything used. I agree people should be honest in dealings life is too short and it sucks not being able to trust anyone. they could have been a pain and just played...

My local commercial fuel place will sell diesel in 55 drums just like oil.

I know you got the new machine .. congrats on that... but if your just dragging an arena and fast my first thought is a quad or UTV, go as fast as you like :)

I saw one of these in person... WOW if I was in the market it would have gone home

I enjoy the Orange and Blue .... on the Lamborgini https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2023/04/1962-Lamborghini-2R-16-1536x864.webp

they actually have a garage at our rail yard, all fluids checked, manuals, paperwork moroni stucker installed etc bubble wrap stays on and transport mode still active, but everything else is done per manufacturer. car haulers pick them up drop at dealers. dealer looks for damage peels bubble...

well it's good they sent an inspector. I wish it was independent one. personal opinion depends on how it plays out... the damage done really wasn't that much. fix and sell fix what is needed to sell or part it out. I wouldn't try and skip out on the loan you have way too much to loose and way to...

that's because pdi is done at the rail yard by people that is the only thing they do all day long on thousands of cars.

WOW nice machine... by looks.. it looks way nicer than the new one ... maybe it is all the plastic. Why not just have them do the tire sealant latter and take delivery of the machine now if you have the need for it? and or have the tire shop sent out.

The general PDI of a tractor could be done as the shop has time, as they come off the truck. Oil, filters, bolts ETC could all be done before a sale assuming it is sitting longer than a few weeks on a lot. I wonder how many tractors are "modified" with customer add On's ETC VS off the floor...

close..... this is more options to make what the op wants to use and things to watch out for if you do change. with some facts behind it. oil threads are all over the place.

Ever consider having a growth mindset? honestly you have options that could save you money and get you the greese you want now to me we have given great options but you shoot us down. your desired option is $$$$$ or unobtainable asI see it, but that 5 gallon bucket looks like a great option...

honestly.... it comes down to this.... speed, reverse, cab, height of fel and rear weight. if you didn't have a backhoe, block, wheel weights or balist in the tires these rear tires are basically lightly loaded with a loaded FEL. cab moves weight up than no cab tractor and the rear tire...

I wish the op the best on this. but we really need to figure out how and why with evidence vs.'fire no warranty' attitude that the dealer seems to have. I know years ago had a rv, and the bank imposed insurance on the loan... almost more than the loan amount each month, but I had insurance...

calcium, beat, methanol, water, washer fluid. they all weigh different amounts per gallon which is why calcium is king at 11 3 lbs a gallon over water water at 8.3 lbs a gallon and it's good to negative 58 before it freezes. so which is better really comes down to how much weight do you need...

Can you share some photos? nice resolution would be cool.. I did see the one photo but not sure if that was it. Honestly being in a different country changes most of our answers. looking at the one photo I almost feel like fire would be the simplest if you can control it, also it looked...

CAN We go back to the topci? Tractor lots have some equipment... I spoke to my local Kubota dealer and while they had some in most was already sold and they said this was about what they expected to have in stock for the next 6 months so .. when its' gone... not sure if that was a sales...

I think you just defined refund...

Topic is basically over and it sounds like OP walked and found a much better option. But in terms of the deal, if there was a machine 332 and they use 322 machine numbers... ok I guess I can understand. Or if the deal was too good to be true where we are looking at a 30k machine and they...

Can you see it? if you can't see the trailer you will never succeed. My boat trailer with no boat is hard to back up with the truck as I can't see it. You just need to slow down... When your backing up. Don't be afraid to pull forward to straighten everything out at the slightest point of...

For a chainsaw it's pretty easy to take a leap of faith but when you pass $10k mark on something it's hard to even trust local let alone a distance away. And lien not even sure where to start on that journey CO UCC doesn't seem to scan based on any sort of # only a name. Talked to my local...

Tractor Tractor governor should be able to give it full power as well until it moves, brakes give and or the clutch smokes. Tractor governor are setup to maintain a set RPM independent of load until it can't give any more power. If your at a dealer and this is a used machine I would ask if...

Looking at machines and found one out of my state that even with shipping would be a decent deal. Part of my is hitch up the trailer and go get it, the other part of me is just have it shipped home... BUT the biggest issue is completing the sale with no party getting shafted. Unlike a Big...

Interesting, I was looking at a few sellers of the unit and they did mention cleaning a few times 1-2 time a year but I wonder if that isnt' more like 1-2 times a month. Wondering if this is worth the hassle. NG is so ... Easy

Anyone have advice on good - VS not so great waste oil burner? Building a shop this year and might be good to consider a waste oil burner.

Think you really need to define what you want to do. If it's just make some paths then ok but you want to start clearing some areas, burn a bunch you might be better off renting a machine with a land clearing shredder and cutting your way around leaving wood in chips. Or by getting a decent...

I wonder where the real issue comes from it seems RV, autos, tractor dealers all seem to employ a bunch of jerks, not all mind you but I wonder where the issue come from. Is it the commission based income? lion, macho attitude, bad customers What makes dealing with this group of people such a...

Now you need to send a selfi of your new machine to the sales dude who was rude. Follow that up with a wonderful letter to the manager at the JD store explaining how your price changed on the documents and how there sales people told you they dont want to sell to you anymore so you took there...

Be nice if OP were to come back on. But it sounds like lack of communication on really both sides, I suspect the OP was just trying to get his/her facts correct by shopping before calling-visiting the dealership again. If your thinking 10 and the quote is 12... sometimes you go else where to...

Ok I should have posted sooner but Im looking at getting a Kobelco 50-3 Mini Excavator. Anybody own or run one? Its a used unit with about 400 hrs anything I should watch out for.. thanks
