Well, I'm working through cancelling the EA rake since it appears it would not even ship until some time in June. Going to get a Titan that I can have by next Thursday. Can get the 5' for $282, 6' for $345, both with free shipping, as opposed to the EA 5' which was $544 with shipping. I'm sure...

I see you're in Flagstaff. Kinda, sorta the same issues we have here: very little topsoil and tender vegetation. What little grass there is, has to fight to grow on decomposed granite and battle the acid from the pine needles. I like what that rake is doing. Thinking I maybe should have gone...

Good point, Einstein was talking relativity of kinetic energy and speed of light. I took the cheap way out with a very familiar formula in order to make a point.

Murphy. Murphy is alive and well, looking for opportunity. A tire blows out unexpectedly. Even new tires can blow out due to any number of factors. Have had it happen to me on a set of tires with less than 100 miles on them. Manufacturing flaw in the sidewall of one tire. Interesting ride for...

Just because you didn't experience issues, doen't mean the same is true for everyone else. My motto is: Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Grew up on a ranch in MT and have seen all manner of trailering issues crop up when not expected. Plus we now have several...

Stihl Farmboss, 18" bar, 1997 vintage. Still runs like a champ.

New BX23S owner here. Yesterday, Saturday, I dug new holes for relocating 3 very large, old juniper bushes that were in the front of our house. relocated to the side on top of retaining wall. Then tore out some ugly 6"x6" landscaping timbers that had been around the junipers. Also began the...

Just south of you, Monument.

Appreciate your input, but I didn't post all the pics here. I grew up on a ranch, greasing equipment nearly every day due to use. I understand that the black is factory and red is what dealers are using. But when it's greased to the point that the black is a glob that has dropped off onto...

Since mine is a brand new BX23S, new version then. Any way to tell which Rust-Oleum is new vs. old? Ah, what the heck. Ordered a case.

Left this alone for a few days but feel it's fair to update on the status. Just received BX23S back from dealer. They picked it up Monday afternoon about 5:30pm. They cleaned it up very nicely. Black oil/dirt grime is gone from top side of mower deck spindles and all hydraulic lines I can see...

Hi all, New to the Kubota world so forgive me if I ask something stupid. Apparently there are more than one shade of Kubota orange paint, correct? I have been looking online for Kubota Orange spray paint so that when My EA pine needle rake arrives, I can paint it orange before assembly. Low...

As owner of a new BX23S and having looked at and operated a JD 1025R during the search/compare process, I will give my thoughts. Also, having spend 20 years designing, building and repairing plastic injection molds and managing those tooling shops for nearly every industry known to man, I have...

Sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. Trust me.

I guess you missed the part about the FEL manifold leaking fluid all over the driveway after only having 2.4 hours of run time. I believe new tractors are not supposed to do that. Maybe not even old tractors. Just my opinion though. I looked at and test a little Green, 1025R to be exact. Let's...
