was at my dealer today picking up a cab, and the dealer said they'd sell the trade ZD28 for $7500 -- -- not a bad price -- -- 260 hours on her -- -- only thing i don't like is that they store it outdoors -- :( it's beatty diesel, in erie.

omg -- i was so hesitant to do this, and finally said, "oh crap -- you've overthought this -- have a little FUN" -- so, last friday, i drove down to lima, ohio and picked her up -- -- an old model (2008), no tax, etc. -- nice and cheap -- and LOVE LOVE LOVE -- -- to see precious running...

-- that's all i have to say! it's 16F here, and i plugged in my b2410 for an hour before lift off -- when i turned the key to "on", before ignition, the temp gage raised a bit -- -- and she started on the first turn of the key -- :D then, with my carhartt suit on and hoodie, i blew my 14'...

so, i have a b2400 in great shape -- with 1,000 hours on her. about a month ago, i decided to get battery minders for all my junk -- for the winter, to keep the voltages healthy and the like. my b2400 had been running fine prior to the "minder", but she had an old battery in her. one day i...

so, i got the great idea (:eek:) to put "battery minder plus" trickle chargers on my junk, since i seem to have a lot of it - :o it works okay on everything, except the b2400, which it seemed to kills its old battery -- so, i got a new battery -- and optima, and wrote it off to an old battery...

i love my rtv, no question -- but the shifting leaves something to be desired -- :| when i hop on over to my b2400, i LOVE LOVE the foot-pedal backwards and forwards, in the front and back, and i love how easy it is to get around with the thing -- so my question is, why didn't kubota just...

talk about frustrating - :( we were trying to get the frame stiffener on tonight, and the simple (!!) first step was to remove both wheels -- well, they won't budge -- i took the nut off the bolt that holds the two expander-things in, then the pin and the holder dowel thing -- sorry, i don't...

i have a citrex PTO cyclone spreader for my b2400, but the backhoe is taking over the rear PTO soon. are there any decent spreaders y'all would suggest? i would prefer one that goes in the bed of the RTV, and the cabelas one looks cheap and overpriced (surprise) -- -- i will be using it to...

i am looking at a b7610 and am wondering if the frame, etc. will take my b2400 stuff, like the blower/plow subframe, etc. thanks! eric

they're on close-out from kubota -- the dealer said $4800 for the hoe, plus $190 for the mounting kit, and the buckets are around $300 a pop -- they'll install it for free, and no tax -- straight from the factory. -- sounds decent, since ANOTHER dealer quoted me $6600 yesterday for JUST the...

hate to part with her -- cub cadet 1810 with blower, mower, ballast, tire chains This came with a house purchase a year ago, and I really love this tractor. The original owner (who sold the house) had a penchant for lawn tractors, and had this one serviced regularly. When we picked up the...

i found a mint b2660 blower with a 2620 mount kit for my b2400 for $1500 -- -- worthy?

-- back to back. the reason i did this is because i thought the gasser engine would be nicer around the lawn, etc. over the 900, with lower noise and the like. with the 500, we were immediately thwarted by its small size. it felt very much like a modified golf cart upon entry. my passenger...

Well, having been in my house almost two years, I needed a garage -- :| The deed insisted on one a year after the build, so off we went. Here's a "artist's rendition" of it -- :| It's overall good, though the pergola and bricking gingerbread will definitely at a later date -- For...

so, it started out simple -- -- the builder originally left a ditch traversing the back lot, which everyone fell in when going to the pond, and which killed my in the winter when running with the pups through the snow. so first, the ditch-witch was rented -- -- and it got stuck and...

so, with my new lawn (one year old) and my concern for long-term health effects of synthetic fertilizers (like scott's), i went to the "espoma organic" brand. in the past, i used a push spreader, and it was a nightmare -- burning the lawn, jamming, free-spinning - you name it -- i have many...

i called my dealer today about the b3030 -- i saw one in their lot some days ago, and thought it was worth a closer look. for the b3030 cab model, no implements, it is $24,500. they're running a "special" now where you get a free loader or belly mower. that's a lot of cash. then, to make...
