Neighbourly Thing...

I think the issue with using the bucket and HST is the Kubotas may not have the same amount of hydraulic flow as we are used to with the Kiotis. While this may have changed in the last couple of years, my experience with the Kubota CUT I used to rent was they seemed to have a limited amount of actions at one time.

Thoughts?

I think I am about tired of the Kioti v Kubota stuff.

my thoughts in this instance is he didnt even try to use the FEL, so it doesnt matter if it is the flow rate or not.

A couple of times I thought my DK45S (R4s) was stuck in deep mud but I was able to move it slowly (in 4WD) even though the wheels were mostly spinning. In another instance, the loader saved me when I got high-centered on a stump hidden in the weeds.

Agree. There is no reason a Kubota HST cannot use its loader to self rescue.

Kioti claims slightly hIgher pump outputs typically but also doesn't separate steering from total while Kubota typically reports them separately.

Well I still haven't heard the whole story of the d8 it usually takes another dozer to pull out a dozer especially when they get that big . So what pulled you out.

We all make fun of 'the other side', you folk with the tiny tractors make fun of the monster tractors as well from time to time - it's all in good fun, i like to smile at both sides.

Now, he got stuck for 2 reasons - a bit of inexperience, and the wrong choice in tires.

A lot of those small tractors are sold with the wrong tires. Those construction type are not made for traction, they are made to wear well on highway use.

Get good tires on that little tractor, and it will be a whole different animal.

With more experience and proper tires, it would be very hard to stick a light tractor with a loader & backhoe - it should be able to work itself out of 95% of the stuff it can get itself into.

Lot of small tractor owners have no experience in using the things, and they make poor choices on the accessories - like tires. I see that on here all the time, questionable recommendations on tires or properly weighting a loader tractor.

Make a person smile a bit.

Now, when I burry a big farm tractor, I do it along the county blacktop of course, and the tractor will be sitting there in the mud for all the neighbors to see, as well as the muddy tracks for a week or 2.... And they all make sure to have a good laugh at my expense.

Gotta chuckle along with them whwen I'm the dummy.

So, we not only have "tiny" tractors but we're also stupid
