    What did you buy this week?

    That is the best transmission of any modern washing machine even after bean counters had their way. So sad that Maytag was sold down the river. Decimated the area when they left. Nothing, absolutely nothing, built today compares to a 30+ year old dependable care Maytag. Whirlpool purposely...

    Purchasing a Kubota L series. Advice on negotiating?

    EV and me, nope. Hybrids? Yes and no. Have one, not worth it in the long run. No residual valence to speak of. I would love to see the small diesel sedans and mini trucks come back. Until then, it’s me and my 3500’s.

    Buying new, first ZT: Cub ZT1 vs Gravely ZTX || and || Cub ZT2 vs Gravely ZTXL

    About 15 years ago, I went with grasshopper. Definately not cheap but have served me very well. I currently still have the 2010 and 2012 725 d’s, both 61” powerfold, one with bagger. Just last fall, I bought my last mower, the grand-daddy 900D with 72” deck and grammar air seat. I have had many...

    Unsettled or cold feet...

    Not light bulbs, headlight housing, miscellaneous. Electrical, some hard parts. Either no longer available or incredibly expensive. Dealer alerted me to the “obsoleted by kioti.” It used to be a requirement for manufacturers to maintain parts availability for 20 years, those days are long gone.

    Unsettled or cold feet...

    I am aware on that, I was merely pointing out that parts are an issue(from kioti) starting at about the 10 year mark. Cylinders issue has been resolved, bit getting other parts is hope and prayer.

    Unsettled or cold feet...

    I am looking at a new tractor in the near future…..unless I can figure out my current issues and/or get parts. My DK45S is a 2009. Was needing seals for loader cylinders (kl1470). Obsoleted by kioti, apparently. Had incident with front lamps….can’t find the parts…now I am gun shy with overseas...

    Anyone own an Iron Bull trailer?

    Mega ramps are ok most times, but suck at others…..like when the load is long, too long for the main deck.

    Rear Remotes + 3rd Function Option

    I wish I had another set of rear remotes. I have 2 sets and hate having to ditch/disconnect hydraulic top link When I use the offset ditch flail. Would like to have tilt. 4 rear remotes would be perfect.

    Diabetes

    I’ve only been dealing with this for 6-7 years, but when I go below 90 I know it. If you research online, I believe below 70 is getting too low.

    Diabetes

    High, try 9.4. 6.1 is somewhat normal range. Always like for it to be lower though. 115 is a tolerable number when I had been running 180’s-190. Best to be lower on all accounts, how we get there? Whatever works.

    Diabetes

    I don’t necessarily care for it either, but works when everything else was not, diet, exercise, supplements and other medications. This disease runs in my family. Grandmother passed away in 1980 at 61 years old. Sister at 42. None due to weight/obesity. This disease doesn’t care how you got it...

    Diabetes

    Technically, yes, but far more maladies arise from eating just plants and grains. I’ll stick with a heavy protein diet. Works for me.

    Long term planning of selling your home?

    I hate moving. Been on my little acreage now for 29years, staying put unless town creeps out. Then I’d sell for big money to get away from town rules. Not that close yet, but who knows. Becoming old and cantankerous.

    Diabetes

    6.0 in and of itself is a fairly good number. High protein diet helps. Processed carbs are killers. If I even look at a potato chip, my blood sugar spikes big time. That said, ozempic is also for cardiovascular as well as diabetes. Seems to work. There are coupon programs that get the out of...

    You Know You Are Old When

    Got me too, apparently. I have a fairly good sense of humor, but I have had the unfortunate experience of having to bury my oldest son back in 2020, he was 33. Again, not something a parent should ever have to do.

    How are actual sale prices vs MSRP currently for Kubotas (or other manufactures)?

    That’s the problem, the ag exemption doesn’t apply to some tractor customers. Then, the tax becomes a bigger deal. Not really fair, but most taxes aren’t.

    DK45S fuel tank removal

    A positive update. I was wrong on my above assumption. Dealer was very helpful/instrumental in getting this issue resolved. Kioti sent me a new tank under a parts only warranty. Obvious that Kioti felt there was a problem as the tank has been redesigned slightly in the fuel pick-up area. Much...
