You know what's funny

[MOPAULY]

There is a John Deere ad staring at me on the right side of this forum. On top of that, there is John Deere dealer 2 miles up the road from me.

...and yet I still bought a BX24 from a dealer 20 miles away

 

[MOPAULY]

ok, somebody is reading this, the deere ad is gone now

What better place to place a competetors ad,with all the broken plastic on the 24s,a blown engine that KUBOTA dont want to replace,electrical problems here and there.Even me with a 23 acting strange.Im gonna have to check those other brand sections,and see if its a bed of roses over there,or they have issues to.

They all have issues to. One reason why there seems to be more problems w/the new BX's could be because theres quite a bit more BX's sold than the competeing scuts.....

re. the plastic floor boards, Seems Kubota has redesigned them and all the BX's shipping now have the new upgraded floorpan. I've read where some dealers are being proactive in replaceing thse already sold. Should become a non-issue.

re. the ill-fitting intake screens, Seems Kubota has redesigned them and all teh new BX's shipping now have them. I've read where some dealers are being proactive in replaceing thse already sold. Should become a non-issue.

re. the one and only blown BX engine I've read about on this forum thus far. It had a bent rod at approx 60 hrs. Now I'm not pointing fingers and it could be the rare lemon engine but one of the main causes of a bent rod in a diesel engine is continued operation of the engine with coolant entering the cylinder. One of the main causes of how coolant can enter a cylinder is a blown head gasket and/or warped head. One of the main causes of a blown head gasket and/or warped head is continued operation of the engine with it overheating...
And of course it could be the 1 in 1000 engines with a manufactured defect.

re. rough running diesels. Gotta keep bad fuel and water out of them. This goes for ALL of them no matter who makes 'em....

Since I like tractors and machinery of all makes and models I like to cruise all the forums to find out more about these machines and one thing that is a common thread with the all is that if they're man made, they'll not be perfect

My dyed in the wool, everything he has is green, full time rancher neighbor has started asking pre-purchase type questions about my Kubota equipment.
So no one is immune from Orange fever.

so, what's the funny part?

My B-I-L is also a JD man and a rancher. Keeps about 300 head of cows now. Has a handful of various older JDs. He told me not long ago that if he were buying new it would be a Kubota.....but, I don't think he has ever bought anything new.

I think he was simply making a point that John Deere was advertised more, and a closer dealer and he still went to the Bota....

Simply stating, the advertising / convenience simply didn't sway him to the Green machines..

I got the point when I read his post,,,,,, Maybe not hillarious, but nonetheless, consequently a bit funny.. Maybe he called TBS and they told him that it was funny and he could laugh.. ;P

I don't think many people are interested in reading "When I turned the key, the engine started" or "When I engaged the PTO everything functioned normally." And yet these are events that take place thousends of times a day.
