Well, I told my wife, and she took it quite well. Actually, she knew it was probably going to happen. I started wanting one badly this summer when my Husqvarna lawn tractor frame broke. I had the frame repaired, but about 4 weeks ago, it caught on fire while I was mulching leaves. So, I...

I think I'll wait until tomorrow to tell her; maybe Saturday.

Thank You. You and all, have a Happy Thanksgiving too. -Jeff P.S. I've got to read about that Pirhanna toothbar.

I just sent in a purchase order to my dealer to purchase a BX1870-1 with FEL. I'm excited. But now, I have to go tell my wife.

I think I might use the loader for nuisance snowfalls, and some light cleanup. But, I probably won't add a snowblower. We don't usually get that much snow here in Mn. -Jeff

I see what you mean about the grill guards on Ebay. Thanks!

It is standard on all but the BX1870. I'll primarily be using it for mowing. But, I don't have long stretches of straight runs to mow.

Hi, I'm getting close to buying a BX1870. So, I'm looking at options: 1) cruise control. Dealer installed price is $128. I don't think I'll do this, as I probably won't be "cruising" much. 2) Grill guard. The Kubota website shows it at $162. I've seen pictures of what looks like aftermarket...

I'm overwhelmed at how enthusiastic Kubota owners seem to be. I'm getting more and more excited and I can't wait to be an owner myself. I hope to finalize a deal this coming week.

Is it my imagination, or do these things have an incredible resale value? I've been watching Craiglist ads for the past few months, and haven't seen any that have asking prices significantly under what they sell for new. And, it seems like they are selling them.

I live on a 2 acre lot, of which 1 acre is currently cleared and is mowed. One of the purposes of the FEL would be to help clear out the rest of the lot. I don't know that I really need a FEL, but from reading a lot of other posts, I think I'll find ways to use it. And more importantly, I...

Howdy, I was set on buying a BX1870, but have heard many people suggest moving to the BX2370. I certainly understand the logic of getting as much power as one can afford. However, I think I'm at the limit of my budget with a BX1870. I am not financing because it is $1000 cheaper not to use...

I am paying cash, so I feel the $360. Right now the deal is that it's $1000 less without Kubota financing. I live on 2 acres, with it currently about 1 acre of grass. So, the primary duty of it will be mowing the lawn (if I can call it that). But, I'm going to get a FEL so that I can do some...

Hi, I've been lurking on this website for the last couple months. My big box store Husqvarna caught on fire about a month ago and is now good for nothing but parts. A month or so before that, I had the broken frame repaired. So, I've decided to get something that will last. A dealer quoted...
