    Kubota LX4020 Already Having Problems

    Totally agree with the HST+ I had told myself for years, that it was just a gimmick It just adds complexity and I didn’t need it After just a few hours with it, I’m not sure I’ll ever own a tractor without it again.

    LS Camo Tractor

    They will sell every one they make. With how big of a business food plotting for wildlife has become, I’m surprised one of the big tractor manufacturers hadn’t done this already… I’m not sure I would buy one, just because it’s camouflaged, but not sure I wouldn’t either Hahaha I had a...

    Just bought an l4060

    I think it’s been decided But definitely go with the OEM Kubota 3rd function.. I normally always would prefer WRLong. BUT On the Grand Ls with the throttle up switch, The only joystick handle that is ergonomic, while maintaining the throttle up switch is the Kubota one.

    Is the HST+ right for me? (Grooming riding arenas)

    I went from an MX5100 hst To a L5460 with hst+. To me the hst+ seems smoother and more refined, and definitely quieter.. stall guard, auto throttle, etc is a bonus And I like the display on the grand L much more than the MX, But for just dragging an arena, I’m not sure it would make much...

    Is there a “Power Trac Secret Society Club?”

    Considering how difficult it is to find tractors, and implements to purchase…… I can buy a used Porsche cheaper than a used Kubota right now. Is it really outside the realm of possibility that an Illuminati type group, is hoarding a treasure trove of PT implements? 🤪[emoji13]

    We should just stop buying new products.

    Fairly certain. It’s going to end up much worse, and for a broader swath of people.

    Is there a “Power Trac Secret Society Club?”

    This is of course the only correct answer.. Which is also why, if such a club did exist, and I’m not saying it does, That membership and the exclusive products that alleged members have access too, remain elusive

    Last pic of my trailer, before it made the trip to Joshlee. With standard trailer tires, it actually towed decent at interstate speeds when the pavement was dry, BUT once it was wet and snowing, I had to slow down, as it would bounce, and then sway, I’m assuming due to sliding around…. With...
