Maybe put it back since someone could have been using it to repair a flat and forgot it.

Simple search proves your theory wrong.

I can feel alive in other ways without participating in a form of suicide.

It's always amazes me that it takes a near death experience to a motorcycle rider before they realize how dangerous they are. I was told it's not a matter of if you will wreck but how bad and when.

Property taxes should be outlawed once the house is paid or the owner(s) turn 60.

Looks like the BBB by Trump will repeal emission requirements for diesel trucks. Trump EPA set to unravel it

Until he didn't have a teleprompter. He sounded dumber than a brick.

What do you mean by these cutesy phrases? I couldn't imagine trying to use a backhoe off of a tractor instead of an excavator. I've wondered if backhoes are like pickup trucks. Most people that own them very seldom use them for its intended purpose.

2021.

When Kubota offered the 20% NHCA discount the tractor price was outstanding. I bought my MX5400 using the discount and paid $32K total (no tax due to ag exemption).

If it keeps me from eating or paying my bills then yes. Our country has no problem sending our tax dollars over seas or giving welfare benefits to those who shouldn't have it. We should not be paying property tax in our retirement years, nor paying ANY income tax. If I had a way to keep from...

I heard that if they know you don't have anything to go after the hospital will just write it off or you can pay $5/mo for the rest of your life to demonstrate the willingness to pay the debt.

Awesome! Now change your name to Spruce Kubota!

So I guess we need to be more specific. Bucket and loader arms are not considered part of the tractor.

Kubota tractor manual

Not joking chief. My Kubota maintenance schedule says to grease every 50 hrs so actually i'm ahead of schedule!

I don't put that many hours on my tractor. 30 hrs/yr. I have greased once a year and there is plenty of grease already in the areas needing grease. I could probably go every 2 years. I don't understand those greasing every 10 hrs.

Don't have the room for an extra bidet seat but the ones that attach to the toilet have plenty of pressure.

Agreed, but there are CP4 fuel protection kits that takes away the risk to the engine.

Don't care one way or the other. Although if you put a gun to my head and told me to pick between kia, stellantis, chevy or Ford, I would buy certain specific Fords over any Kia krap or Stellantis sheet. If I'm buying a car for my kids it would be Honda, toyota, or mazda in that order. From...

My dentist said she had been trying to collect full insurance payments from my provider for over 6 months. She said it had been the same with many more patients. Don’t know how she will be able to stay open.

Looks like I need to start looking for loopholes before I hit medicare age. :D Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §* 16.004 states that the statute of limitation for medical debt collection lawsuits is four years. It means a healthcare provider generally has four years from the date of...

If you are poor or just don't want to pay what can they do?

Go to the emergency room? They have to treat you? And then try getting blood from a turnip. I have great insurance but thinking about my retirement in 4 years. Can you just carry Medicare Part A which is free and let the hospital eat the rest?

Just made one for my wife and I. Tasty

I watch a lot of mechanics videos and Korean crap and Stellantis are commonly mentioned about brands not to buy for autos.

You're an idiot. A bidet will remove most of your "poo" before you need to wipe. But you do you.

Spend it if you can afford it. Get rid of it if it's not being used for at least 5 years. You came into this world with nothing You will leave this world with nothing. Don't leave your fortune to others. Spend it!

Not when you combine that with a bidet. Also less chance of clogging your septic system using one ply toilet paper.

After watching the video on the removal and installation of the MMM deck on the 1025r, I'm surprised that other brands haven't replicated this method.

There are shops like powerstrokehelp.com that bullet proof the 2004-2010 Ford truck engines.

Everyone knows Dodge, but not everyone knows Stellantis. Quality has gone down hill in many brands, even Toyota. But some brands lead the pack. I watch a lot of auto mechanic videos and Korean cars and Stellantis lead the pack of unreliable vehicles. The jeeps of today pale in quality to the...

Many dogs have become Dindu Ruffins. The owners don't understand or refuse to understand how untrained their dogs are. Many in my part of the country don't fence in their dogs and I've seen a few I've had to dodge on the farm to market road.

Apparently you didn't read my initial posts. Never said the OP wanted an L size Kubota and a ZT. I think you just like to argue. :D

From the OP:

The OP never said how much he needed to mow but if its under 2 acres $5k will buy you a new zero turn. A Kubota mid mount mower depending on package will go for $25K minimum. You can purchase the L2501 for about the same price as the mid mount mower. I think the OP needs to let the dealer show...

Dogs in my area that run loose, tear up trash or harass neighbors normally don't live long. I've seen a few FB pages on my local group where people complain about their dog missing.

I think a permit should be required before anyone can own a dog. In neighborhoods only one dog should be allowed and the permit can be pulled if the dog is becoming an nuisance to neighbors. I moved out of neighborhood into the country because of nimrod neighbors that couldn't control their...

Have you tried disconnecting the belly mower? I never understood this market segment. Why not buy a zero turn mower for mowing and a small tractor (Kubota L2501) for tractor stuff?

Dude, just save the wax in a jar and pretty soon you have a candle. ;)

If the time from the quote to the time for work was an extenuated period of time I could see the increase. If the time was less than, say, 2 weeks, I would have the guy he should have quoted better. My guess is he quoted to get the job and then made the excuse of suppy cost increase to make...

The PTO shaft may now be too long.

And maybe needs 20-30 hp more tractor?

I don't understand the appeal for the new Bronco. I personally find it ugly but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I also don't get putting a 4 cyl in anything larger than a compact car but that is becoming the norm. 3 cylinder engine is ludicrous. After driving an EV for the last 2 years...

Yes! I would have to rake a lot of leaves for about 2 months and burn them. Once I put mulching kit on my ZT all I have to do is make sure I mow the leaves within a day of falling or otherwise I would have 1 foot of leaves on the ground. I haven't burned leaves in 5 yrs. Only drawback is...

Since no one else will explain it, for those, like myself, who have no clue what an overriding clutch is and why you need it, this video explains it. Sounds like its only needed for older tractors that have a clutch that when pushed in doesn't disengage the PTO, where having a rotary cutter...

That and few rainouts. The small school my daughter just graduated from still has grass football field.

Relax. We are under a new regime! :) The OP could paint his deleted truck army green and automatically get a military waiver for emission equipment.

Or buy an older 6.7L diesel that's been deleted. Then no worry about DEF. I too only drove my F250 6.7L about 7K / yr. Ended up selling it a few months ago. Came to terms that I don't need a truck and if do I'll just rent one.

After I hook my rotary cutter to the quick hitch I then make sure the shaft of the rotary cutter is about level with the PTO of the tractor. I then place the end of the shaft on the PTO (without pulling back on the "ears" of the shaft) until it just slips on. Then I pull the ears back on the...

Who meters the well water? And why? I have a well and don't meter it. How can someone be forced to meter it?

If he's borrowing your tractor why is he "considering" letting you use his backhoe? Too much risk with borrowing and transporting his backhoe. the local Kubota dealer rents a large excavator, Renting it on a Friday after 1500 and returning monday is about $700. They deliver and pickup with...

Since this zombie thread is started, How would the city ever know how much water he used from a well?

You maybe careful but it's the dude that says "hold my beer and watch this!" that will lose a limb.

I think my mower would kill the engine with the blades running and I get off the seat. But I wouldn't tempt fate by spraying under the deck with the mower running. Better to buy a mower lift and do it safely. A ripped off thumb or hand would be more expensive.

Make him an offer he most likely will refuse. 😄

I remember as a young boy running around the countryside near Bay City, Tx. I know I was in poison ivy quite a bit but never got it. Fast forward 20+years and my first case of poison ivy was when I lived in Louisiana. The natives there said if you think you've been in it, to soak in a...

Here is a standard recipe. Hopefully Old and Tired will modify it to his standards. Ingredients: Vodka: 1.5 - 2 ounces Tomato Juice: 4 ounces (or about 1/2 cup) Lemon Juice: ¼ fluid ounce (or half a lemon's worth of juice) Worcestershire sauce: 2 dashes Hot pepper sauce: 4 dashes (such as...

I was thinking of Mr. wilson from Dennis the Menace.

Need that recipe please. :love:

If Tesla does a price reduction on the CT like they did on the 3, Y, X back in early 2023 they will probably increase sales. The CT foundation series needs to come in about $55K, instead of $75K.

After driving my Y for the last 2 years I see the majority of ICE vehicles as boring and downright ugly. My ICE coversion to Tesla experience must be like the experience going from horse/buggy to the Model T.

Could be wrong but I believe he was agreeing with you. Relax. Have a drink on me. :giggle:

I only clean mine after changing blades or if the grass is wet and there is a bit of mud. I use a mower jack (750 lb rating) that I bought at Harbor Freight when I need to get under the mower. If there is caked on dirt underneath I use my electric pressure washer. I ALWAYS blow off the...

I rub the martini glass with a lemon slice and then squeeze a little juice in there glass. I use two shakes of Regans orange bitters. We prefer the taste of the gin over the taste of the vermouth. I tried a dirty martini and didn’t like it. Maybe in a few years that will change

My tastes are less vermouth. I’ve tried 2:1 ratio and for me the vermouth is over powering. Definitely a matter of taste which is why I would ask a savvy drinker their preference if I’m making them one. I think the majority of weekend drinkers wouldn’t be able to tell a good or bad vermouth...

We buy the wine by the case where u get free shipping from places like WSJournal or Wine insider. Generally get good to excellent wine for about 8 dollars per bottle. My wife won’t let the wine age more than a few months. 🥳

“Good” is in the tastebuds of the drinker. I try not to make a blanket proclamation about the taste of anything relating to whiskeys. Although I will call BS on those YouTube reviewers of whiskeys. U know, the ones claiming to smell notes of caramel or toffee. [emoji38]

Total wine also lets you sample certain whiskeys

How can u tell unless u are drinking it straight? That brand is all I’ve used in four years of making drinks. I could make u a drink and I doubt u could tell.

If u want to get fancy u can smoke your Old Fashion

You can buy dry or sweet vermouth at almost any liquor store. I just buy what’s the most inexpensive.

Or is over hyped. For me I can find a good tasting bourbon for $30-$40 for a standard size bottle. Just finished a $160 bottle of bourbon and while it was very good not worth that price.

So I found a local source for Buffalo Trace bourbon which has been hard to get. I live in a rural area but about twenty miles away is a small town with a liquor store and they always seem to have a shelf full of this bourbon for reasonable price ($38 for one liter) I have heard that Blantons...

I ain’t judging. If u like it then it’s good. [emoji106]

Just classify your truck as a military vehicle and you will be fine removing the junk emissions. :) And no matter the brand of diesel truck I would have removed the junk.

The reason I’m not using numbers is that this app is retarded and makes the numbers and emojis into weird symbols. [emoji[emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]][emoji637]]

“Yes, vermouth can go bad. While it has a longer shelf life than regular wine due to its higher alcohol content, once opened, it should be refrigerated and is best used within a few months. Unopened, vermouth can last for several years if stored properly at cellar temperature” I haven’t tested...

And military vehicles are exempt from emissions requirements. Guess the environment really isn’t that important. :)

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16jJyZG[emoji645]61/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Good grief. Ask the EPA why they felt it necessary to require harmful emissions equipment in trucks and tractors. 🥸 How much DEF fluid have you used? Have u ever cross contaminated the diesel with DEF? Have u had to replace the DPF because it failed or was stolen? Trucks without wasteful DPF...

Just sold my 2014 6.7 L turbo diesel. Had the emissions deleted and tuned. Lots of power and reliable. Just didn’t need a truck.

What matters is what YOU like. Personally, I have found the vermouth is irrelevant. All are good to me. The rye is a personal taste. I don’t want to imply that my recipes are the best but are what my wife and I like. I have refined various recipes to my own tastes.

They can charge that because what else you gonna do?

Next drink is a Manhattan. Six ounces of Rye (I use Sazerac) [emoji638] ounces of sweet vermouth Eight shakes of angostura bitters Stir for thirty sec with ice. The Pièce de résistance is adding a Luxardo cherry. Notice the clear ice.

Sorry to hear about your injury. I think about these things as I get older and the cost of hiring someone vs the chance of injuring myself or doing a crappy job(;)). With a dead tree I wouldn't attempt to cut the tree down from the base and risk one of the dead limbs breaking off and hitting...

I'm not an alcoholic! :cool: But I may keep posting different drinks that I make.

Wrong! Don't believe everything you read. EV's in general have 80% less moving parts than their gas counterparts. Less things to break. Also most Tesla "recalls" are over the air updates. At this point I won't buy anything else but a Tesla.

Is that’s similar to my kids in the car saying “Are we there yet?”

Another drink made famous by James Bond. The Vesper martini Six oz gin Three oz vodka One oz of Lillet Blanc. Stir in ice for thirty sec Makes two healthy servings. 🥳 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesper_(cocktail)

Ram (Stellantis) would be the bottom of the brands that I would ever consider.

The reading of that will must have been interesting. :D I try to stay away from doctors (legalized drug pushers) if I can help it. In the matters of health most are clueless and aren't trained to cure.

Well gin martinis come in different dryness. Some like it very dry, meaning just rubbed the inside of the glass with dry vermouth. I've tried various dryness and like it the way I make it. Mine is according to typical gin martini recipe: 2 oz Gin 1/4 oz Dry verouth 2 shakes of orange bitters...

What ever you do don't try to cut the tree at the base. Dead branches could break and make you dead real quick. There is a reason those are called widowmakers. I have one similar to that that's been dead for a few years. Still hasn't come down.

Nopers! I'm awesome! Damaged goods = divorced multiple times, on medication, and/or living with cats. 😇

My wife and I are both 60. Started having kids at age 25. 8 healthy kids later God decided she had enough at age 42. But if I became a widower, no way in hell would I try my luck with another woman who is most likely damaged goods.

Speaking of martinis. Stirred not shaken. 8 oz gin 10 shakes of Regans orange bitters 1 oz dry vermouth. Makes two full servings. 🥳

I've been into mixology for about 3 years now. Bought Bartenders Black book. I've make probably 130 different mixed drinks and kept a log of what I like and don't like. My go to's are Martinis (gin), old fashions, and manhattans. I make the clear 2-1/2" ice balls which melt slower.

That was my point also. that's why I would recommend the daughter to get a DNA test. If I found out one of my kids werea product of another man's seed I might do the same.

Did the fact that your wife and her sister knew they were adopted at birth instigage the birth mothers attempt to take your wife's sister back? Mine was complicated by the fact that my adopter daughters birth mother is my sister. Haven't spoken or seen my sister since 2008 either. Hopefully...

My reference should have qualified "adoption" and not divorce cases. Having adopted my younger sisters daughter at 1 month old my advice would be to NEVER tell the kid he/she was adopted and NEVER tell them who the parents are. Ask me how I know. I haven't spoken or seen the daugher we...

That's messed up. :LOL:

I would make a cursory check under the hood to make sure no mouse or birds nest have been created. Pull out the air filter and check. Clean the screen. Any visible leaks around the engine?

As it should be. The real family is the one that raised and loved him.

An established man in his 60's looking for a wife will most likely have to go overseas or get a woman, similar in age in the U.S. that will come with a lot of baggage. I'm 60 and my last kid just graduated. Can't imagine taking care of babies at this age. If I knew a man wanting to get...

A man that goes through a divorce where the wife uses the kids as financial leverage, as well as turning the kids against the father, can create a long lasting hatred of not only the wife but the kids (through no fault of their own). Especially if the man is ruined both emotionally and...

Love to hear the other side of the story. Might be worth getting a DNA test before throwing Mr. Johnson under the bus.

Yep. That will definitely do it. Hate to see guys go through it.

Given the Honda 500 tops out at 40 mph and you probably aren't going that fast anyway I would say that the tires are irrelevant. I changed the tires on my Pioneer 700 to less aggressive tire. I rarely exceed 20 mph.

In the OP posts he does state:

As long as you change your undies on at least a daily basis you are good.

I think he was trying to be cute with the terminology. :cool:

Time to gird your loins. Make her clean the fuel tank and she probably won't do it again. 😇

Woah! Take a chill pill. :giggle:

As long as my yard equipment works with little problems I will keep it. Once I have to work at starting it then it's gone.

Since using non-ethanol fuel in my zero turn, weed eater and SxS I've had no ill effects. I also use the can fuel for chain saws and leaf blower

Been with Texas Farm Bureau for 8 yrs now. Had 2 claims early on with no problem. Rates have been skyrocketing lately though.

We set flagstones a year ago with the same type of base. But our flagstone was 2" thick. Maybe the weight helps?

I also spent about 2 weekends cleaning spider webs and mud dobber nests around the eaves of the house before the guy start spray painting. The painter wrapped the entire house with plastic drop cloth to prevent over spray on the brick and windows. He stated he mixed the paint in his spray gun...

I need my eaves painted about 6 months ago. My house is brick but the trim is wood and probably hadn't been painted in 15 yrs and there was signs of rot in places. I bought the paint and a spray paint gun about 3 yrs ago (lol) but kept putting it off. Found a guy that works in my company...

My son was a combat medic in Afghanistan and said the area looked like the stone age.

If I was within 100 miles of this truck in Alabama I would do you a solid and go look at it for you. :D

Just curious on the price you settled to buy the truck? I bought a Mustang on AutoTrader without seeing the car in person back in 2014. I did due diligence in finding the seller on Facebook and corroborating his information and location. I talked with him on the phone. I paid him before going...

If I was using a piece of equipment only 1-2 times a year I would look at renting. Also the term "tractor" in this instance is definitely stretching it. :geek: 738 PowerSafe Bcs

That seems like a low price / acre. What is the going rate in East Texas?

You are tempting fate if this could be a common occurrence. I think I either wouldn't mow that section or use a hand mower.

This forum needs a frequently asked question section. I see this topic about ever few months; zero turn vs tractor.

You were honest to be objective about your subjective view of your assumption. :geek:

Sounds like a UPS problem. Messicks isn't making money on the shipping are they?

Sounds like a road trip!

For those quoted prices I hope this MX comes with a cab.

The Japanese invented quality control which is why I try to stay with Japanese products where possible. Quality control checks for repeatability. There will always be defects but minimizing those defects is the goal.

You also use your tractors extensively where probably most tractor owners might put 100 hrs / year (guess).

The saying "Buy a tractor one size bigger then you think you need" rings true for a lot of us.

Also need to know the distance the sprinkler will eject water as well as a layout of where these trees in the middle are located.

I'm imagining a scene where you say "Hold my beer and watch this!" before you do this. :D

That's at the age you were invincible. Would you load a snow mobile now like that?

The drawing doesn't show any "trees", remember?

Ouch. If there are few obstacles plan on about 1-1/2 to 2 hrs of mowing per pasture. That's assuming the grass is not higher than say 4-5 inches. You would have to stay on it every 3 weeks. With a rotary cutter and a tractor you could just get it down twice a year.

How many acres are you wanting to mow?

Corrected.

Tractors don't lose near the value cars and trucks lose driving off the lot. The reason I went new with a tractor is used tractor prices back in 2021 with low hours were not that far off a new tractor.

My MX5400 sat on the dealers lot outside for 4 months before I bought it.

All it takes is a major injury to realize it would have been cheaper to buy a small trailer.

I could see injuring myself trying to get a SxS into a bed of a pickup. I don't even like driving my car on ramps to change the oil.

A 100 ft hose would make a 200 ft circle.

Maybe you should quit deleting posts.

And we know now how bad quality has become over the past 40 yrs with the Big 3 as well as Mercedes and BMW.

And that's the problem with today's feminist.

If you opt for a SXS that uses a belt (all but Honda I believe) then make sure the belt is easy to replace. Get seat time in each brand you are interested and make sure you can test drive it.

Yes, wearing your seatbelt would apply to any vehicle also. When I use my SxS around property I'm driving 5-10 mph and never use my seat belt. If I was on trails I would have a helmet and wear my seatbelt.

The word of caution is don't be drinking and speeding. That would apply to any vehicle.

A fun drinking game is to take a shot of whiskey every time Neil Messick says "little bit" in his videos. :geek:

Yes, the green paint and plastic hood is definitely worth 24% more! :cool:

Because if you break your tractor the mfg will just claim owner abuse and deny any warranty claim. They don't care but to tout how much is their lift capacity.

I don’t think I’ve ever used the cup holder.

Dumb dumb. In two years I haven’t had to worry about anything in my Tesla except keeping tire pressure at correct amount ever so often.

Or do like Kubota and lower the hydraulic pressure by 200psi to minimize failures from operators using tractors like a bulldozer. [emoji38]

Dumb dumb. Oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs. If older or crappy Korean or Stellantis, then just about everything else.

Yep

Good news is only maintenance you will have to worry about with an EV is windshield wiper fluid and tires. 80% less moving parts in an EV than an ICE. I'm glad I'm to the point I don't have to worry about the constanct maintenance items that go with an ICE.

I wouldn't trust anything the Chinese state about their products. Chinese lie and steal.

This was back in 2021 when I bought my MX5400 for $30K after using the 20% NCHA discount. Pretty sure that price was hard to beat by any brand. Now? Not so much but I would probably stay with Kubota.

Dealerships that carry EV's are required to have trained technicians to service them.

If the larger battery pack puts the truck over $30k that will be a deal killer I believe. Single cab pickup with a small bed might be hard to sell too. And I read a comment that Slate is an anagram for Tesla. :unsure:

I test drove a CT about 2 months ago for 3 hours. I really liked the drive aspect. I think that part is a homerun.

True to an extent. I don't think price point (premium price) is an indication of quality. Before I bought a tractor I watched a few Messicks video comparing same size JD to the Kubota. I really wanted the green paint but realized that I was paying for the paint not the quality.

I wish the Cybertruck wasn't so polarizing. My wife hates the look and said she couldn't stand looking at it in our driveway if I bought one. And I really hope other EV brands become better than Tesla. I would like to have more options but right now Tesla EV tech can't be beat.

Is there a reason you didn't go for R1 (ag) tires?

Tesla is fine. Quit listening to the fake news. Tesla makes the best EV in the world.

My bet is any $100K vehicle that has that kind of damage will have a massive repair bill and will be totaled. Hopefully the dude had gap insurance if he had a loan.

And I'm sure you could find owners of the Kioti (or Kubota or etc.) that have had similar issues.

If you were brave you should have asked her what she did to the poor man that he would leave her and throw his wedding ring back at the house. :)

If a bald eagle carried off one of my pets I would salute the bird as it flew off while singing the national anthem.

Draw the rectangle to scale and then lay a circle representing a 200 ft circle. I'm getting 6 spigots total. One from each end of the rectangle, 36 ft-8 inches. 4 more spaced in between 83 ft- 4 inches

Still not sure how the guy was knocked over. Did the the back tire hit him?

Target is an upscale Walmart.

From one of the childrens books I read to my kids I do know that if you give a mouse a cookie he will want a glass of milk. :)

And your kids or grandkids will have the fun with your money. Spend it now and have fun!

What are you planning on doing with all that money you have in the bank? ;)

They don't. If I would have to go through a middle man to buy a car (dealer mafia network) then I would shop around until I found a dealer that would negotiate.

Kablam!

And a military HMMWV! I drive one at work and it needs a step to get in and out.

Had to say goodbye to my outdoor cat of 7 years. It's a rough life living outdoors.

I've never understood the appeal or need of a tractor with MMM. Buy a tractor to do tractor stuff and a mower to do mower stuff. A hybrid will just be poor at doing both.
