You need a 5030, that will most certainly have you sleeping in you new "shed"

I took the wife along to my dealer for some little part I had to pick up - and while I was doing that she was looking around the showroom. My TC45 is just a bit large for her little frame and the clutch presents a small problem for her - so she finds this little NH - I don't even remember the model # - with a MMM and she's saying - "this is more my size, don't ya think? Maybe we could get one of these for me?" .... I about dropped over -- it's not in the budget til the big one gets paid for - but... probably right after. I don't know why I should have been surprised - this is a lady that owned her own chainsaw when I met her! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Bill,

Are you sure she didn't say: "will you and another tractor fit in the shed you are building?" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just curious, 'cause that is certainly what my wife would say./forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

( Side question...did Kubota at one time use those Kanji? Seems like today they just use katakana for thier name and no kanji...)

Likely when the company was first founded, but I've only
seen katakana and romaji representations.

I know! I'll sell you my 72" Woods rfm so I can pay for the brush hog that they are delivering next week! I can use the hog to cut the grass I use the rfm for anyway... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Rockdog,

I checked out the Kubota site to see what your mower looked like. In the end I think a bx would be better for me... like the idea of extra utility if I need it.

Something like that probably costs a lot more than a bx with mower, right?

I don't think I was included in the question she asked! I'll have to double check...BUT...I am pretty sure I can make this happen...depending on what the dealer will do as far as price...and taking my like-new woods mower back...

Bill,
Not sure what the BX with mower costs but the Kubota F3060 is about $17,000. If you don't need the xtra HP you can get a 22 or 25 hp for a couple thousand less. Good luck on your choice, can't go wrong either way.

Hi GSS,

I guess at this point I will end up doing something radical or just come back to my senses and keep using the RFM I have... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

What brand brush hog did you buy? I am in need of one of them too...

Bill,

You want to do something radical? How about this? I can sell you my '73 John Deere 110. Only 8HP with a rusty 32" deck and starter problems!

I ordered the Woods BrushBull BB72. 72" standard duty. I shopped all around Pgh for the best price and Turner in Evans City had the best price. Like $400 less than retail and free delivery. Problem is, he's so **** busy, I may never get it.
