Just arrived and hour meter is broken

[Atypical_decorum]

I may have just missed it earlier, but it appears the OP recently updated his profile to include his location (NYC).

Other than maybe working in Central Park, what the heck is someone doing with a 100 hp tractor in NYC?

Lol, because of the absurdity - same as my profile profession.

 

[Torvy]

Hahaha...I don't usually look. I appreciate your sense of humor. I will of course, always figure you are driving around on your tractor in your underwear with your guitar.

What difference does it make that I commented on his location?

None that I can ascertain. Having said that, he or maybe she has not commented on their original complaint or the remedy, at all. I'm thinking that maybe the selling dealer told them to fock off.

If it was me, I would and I'm patently curious as to why anyone in the concentrated urban area that NYC is, would want with a large frame Kubota (especially a used one with a questionable history in the first place). Having been to NYC numerous times in the past, I don't see where a tractor that size would be of any practical use, in fact not even a lawn tractor would be of any use. Maybe a push mower might but even that is overkill as most urban inhabitants of NYC don't even know what grass is.

Maybe he or she lives on Long Island or upstate New York where they actually have grass and limited land but in urban NYC, no way. All concrete and asphalt and garbage strewn everywhere and people that don't know anything exists other than the 4 block area they live in and honestly don't care either. Been there many, many times and candidly, I don't ever need to go back. Have a pretty good friend that lives in rent controlled housing off 34th street and drives a concrete mixer truck. He's not fond of it either but his wife is a native New York city rat so he tolerates it. Love must be blind for some folks.

If you ever go there and venture off the main drag (Broadway or Times Square), take a good look at the cars, especially the trunk lids. You'll soon realize that most have no trunk locks. Because the first thing thieves do is punch out the trunk lock to see if there is anything of value inside that they can steal. Besides high rents and the rampant crime, parking a private vehicle in the city is a costly undertaking. Private parking spaces are at a premium price, often times even more that the over the top rents. A rental Not rent controlled flat in the city can start at 5 grand a month for a studio apartment.

I think you just described every major city in America. piles that are only getting larger

I like to use the degree of paint fade divided by the viscosity of the engine oil multiplied by the number of miles the seller is from my farm. Then, you have to cross-reference your results with the trustworthiness scale. I think you need a subscription for that, though.

Now this sounds like a very scientific method to me, I am going to switch to this method! Numbers don't lie!

NYC makes Nashville look like small potatoes. The tallest building in all of Tennessee is still way shorter than the Empire State Building built in the 1930s.

 

[5030]

Still no response from the OP concerning his supposed purchase. Beginning to think it's all just a big sham / lie anyway.

 

[Fuddyduddy1952]

Strange OP changed location, etc.

And Sept.9, 2023 vs Sept.16 (a week later):
"Well, I got my M105s a few hours ago."
??????

 

[5030]

Ah, the anonymity of the Internet.... I'm starting to think this clown is an AI bot.

All the hoopla in the beginning and now just crickets.

 

[Fuddyduddy1952]

Now, after all this time and wasted replies...I feel so...so...DIRTY!

Maybe start putting down the whiskey bottle before it's empty?

Original poster has posted in this thread dozens of times. Short version- bought a tractor unseen. Gets it shipped to him. Uses it some and realizes hour meter doesn’t work. Makes the mistake of posting about it on TBN.
Did I miss anything?

 

[Fuddyduddy1952]

I don't drink, but it is strange:
"Well, I got my M105s a few hours ago"
except got it a week before?
Maybe it's Rod Sterling?

Unclear why you think this. Maybe I’m just confused but I see no discrepancy here.

The OPS Sept 9 post indicates he made his decision on which machine. His Sept 16 post indicates it arrived.

Bought it then it took a minute for it to get delivered. Not a local purchase as I read it.

I don't consume ANY alcohol either.

 

[Slowpoke Slim]

Seems legit.

But NOTHING about the supposed tractor or his supposed call to the seller.. or anything germane to his original post........

Yes, it has to be the only explanation, an AI bot. Why else would he not want to miss all of the fantastic wisdom of this thread!
