OK, I think I just hit the bank on this. Advice

Lets see, Orange as in KUBOTA........but hey I have seen a few Kiota in the field too. When I got my bota, I looked at green, and red...............and 3 places for orange. My next one will come from the same place this one did.

Thanks for the input John, your comments are always welcome......

<font color="blue"> Danny, I'm so glad to hear you admit that Orange is King! I've thought so ever since I bought my Kioti! LOL </font>

John, I have thought "orange is king"" ever since I had my first glass of fresh squeezed juice at the Florida border... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I knew that Danny, that's why all the smiley faces. With two orange tractors, it's hard for some to know what you mean. Of course, I knew BX23 was the "other" great tractor.
Agree Henro. That's a beautiful orange too, but it won't pull my brush mower! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif John

OK guys and gals, the bota is all spit shined and ready for the dealer to come and get.........both keys, books everything, even painted the bucket orange again. Now if the dealer REALLY meant what he said.

He has the 23 in stock ready to go, so it should be a drive down here, unload and reload the trailer...........teach me how to take the hoe off, and the bucket, and go from there. I think I may even have an appointment in the town where the dealer is, so I get to watch it being done up and all.

I did not forget, they are picking up the bota tomorrow, Tuesday, so I will take one tonite.

As promised here are the last photos of the bota 2200. Now do I have to name the new one, number 2.........

Will be delivered tomorrow while I am at work. Then go to the dealer to sign and learn how to take the hoe off and the bucket off, then home to dig a hole.

Photo session of the new 23 first of course!

I did take off the Pats and the slide links I purchased to replace the turnbuckles. I wound up 5900.00 difference to the new 23, he must really have wanted my tractor.

Here it from another angle

Preaching to the choir here, but I work for a massey dealer and we put wallenstein backhoes(nice little hoe) on the GC2300, but the ground clearance is poor. The 2310 is a far superior setup and has better resale value. We have taken at least 15 2300's in trade on 2310's. The 2310 like the Kubota are awesome little machines.
