Japanese bums must fit seats differently. :D

When Japanese cars/trucks and motorcycles were becoming popular, I always felt like they thought American drivers were 5'4" and riders were 6'4". At 5'10" I was scrunched up in the cars and had to tip toe on the motorcycles.

All of our tractor seats are comfortable though I have driven older models that weren't.

A brief visit to Poland educated revealed that America is the land of the wide ride.

I bought a new TG1860G in 1998 to replace my old Bolens 1050.
TG now is pushing 900 hours and still going strong, only real problem is electric P.S. quit working, and dealer wanted $900 for a new electronics module. No thank you, Sir !

Bought a used BX24 (235 hrs) last Sept. and think it's great. I would call it super but for the jerky stopping in reverse. I wasn't willing to pay the sales taxes (13%) to get a new BX25, so I saved many $K going with the BX24, and the jerking is something I've learned to minimize.

Ya but the more you can flat foot a motorcycle the more you'll be scraping pegs and not making your turn:laughing: Not so with tractors :D

Those Japanese fellas know a think or two about bikes! You don't see any Harley's winning MotoGP. :laughing:

When I first began riding, Japanese bikes were not known for their handling or performance that came later. I preferred Triumphs for running curvy roads at that time. Dependability was not high on any of them and I pushed or hauled American, English, Japanese and Spanish bikes home.

They did get fast, handled great and were really dependable with time. My sons have had Ninjas, CBR and I owned Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki. My grandson just bought a Ninja last week. I had to give bikes up this year.

I'm on my second Kubota. The quality and reliability has been outstanding. Nothing to contact the dealer about. Could have bought long distance and it wouldn't have made any difference. Everything "just works", to steal a phrase.

There was something about my first Kubota, the BX1860 that just made it lovable, hard to explain. It was better in the snow than my current B2320. The B2320 is civilized and mannered and I've found nothing that it cannot do, around our place, yet it doesn't draw a bond from me the way the BX did. Hard to explain. For one thing, it is simply too light for the energy it has. (I cannot imagine the 26 or 29 models). The tires spin far too easily but I've yet to get any weight added and that's my own fault. I also REALLY need to get the 30 series, lower 3 pt arms that extend, as the stock ones are horrid.

Given the amount of time I spend in the dirt, I also wish I had gotten Ags for extra traction. These R4's sure are tough as nails, but traction isn't a strong point. The light weight and R4s aren't a good match. The tractor would simply be a better worker with R1 tires. Period.

I'm pretty color blind when it comes to machinery, but I'd probably be really nervous about matching the quality and reliability with someone else. When my tractor has gotta go, it's gotta go and the Kubota always does.

Love my Grand L3540! It's the third Kubota that I have owned, BX23TLB the first B3200TLB was the second and now the Grand L. I am totally happy with the 3540 although the others could do almost what the 3540 could, just a little slower.
