That's an opinion, not a fact. If you're just being deliberately argumentative, then fine, that's the internet I guess. You clearly either didn't read the list of things I was doing (that a zero turn can't do), or you just didn't care and want to argue. I'm not in the habit of telling other...

People keep saying that. I disagree. People have different experiences. I can take my deck off in 1 minute, and put it on in 2 minutes. I've had this discussion many times, so I even made a video of me doing it. It's like anything, practice helps, and so do some good tips. I can do it without...

Lots of reasons people might want to have a belly mower. Not everyone is the same. Plenty of people like to tell people to buy a zero turn, or buy a cheap riding mower. But just because it works for them, doesn't mean it works for everyone. I mow 5km of roadside with my B2601 and belly mower. I...

It is. But it's 72 inch and very heavy duty. It'll take way more punishment than any box store rider will. If you're dropping the money for an LX with a cab, the mower isn't really that much more.

Are you front wheels on the ground? Mine come loose when the front wheels are off the ground. You have to nudge the loader just right - mine is a bit of a combination of curl and down force to come loose. If there's no adjust you can do with the loader control that loosens it, then that does...

Probably. I think the logic is: - grease-able bearing that is regularly greased lasts longer than - ungrease-able/sealed bearing, which in turn lasts longer than - grease-able bearing that isn't greased because the owner doesn't bother/doesn't know And so we get ungrease-able bearings on home...

A 3pt mower would weigh more than the belly mower in transport mode. The LX belly mower is ground contact, so the weight of it isn't on the LX wheels when mowing. Different people have different needs. The LX is a reasonable amount lighter than the L - in fact, that's one of the limitations...

Not sure why greasing makes a difference to balancing, but I don't balance and I do have zerks and grease often. The B2601 deck is quite a bit heavier duty than the BX I had before. I'm pretty sure the spindles will tolerate it. It gets many worse things happen to it than unbalance blades...

A lot of machines will say "every 200 hours, or every 2 years" or some such. You're quite a lot of years even though low hours. I don't think fluids age as such, but yes they could get moisture into them. It can't hurt to change it. It probably won't hurt to leave it. It's probably a few...

Is there reason to think it has a backhoe? They're reasonably rare, and you can't easily retrofit - it either has one when you get it, or it'll pretty much never have one. (I know, in theory you could find a used one with all the subframe and plumbing that's needed to attach it, but you might...

Lighter. Some people need to trailer, some people are doing work around their property that doesn't need weight (such as mowing). Option for a cab. Some people want/need a cab. Better ergonomics, more luxury features. Some people don't want a bigger/heavier but more economy machine. They want...

Definitely a BX of some sort. They're a good machine. I had a BX2350 for a few years. If you're doing heavy lifting put a bit more air in the front tires, they are reasonably small and easy to squash. And ballast the rear - get a weight box or a heavy implement to hang on the back. I personally...

I sharpen my own blades on the bench grinder, and never balance them. Doesn't seem to impact things too much. In theory it'll put loads on the bearings, make the blades wobble, and make my deck vibrate more. None of them have been too much of a problem as yet.

M6800 or M8200 perhaps? https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/001/3/2/1321-kubota-m6800.html https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/001/2/5/1256-kubota-m8200.html They're all listed here: https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/tractor-brands/kubota/kubota-tractors.html An M6040 would...

Nice.

They probably figure they need a cheap machine for those who are very price conscious (i.e. LX2620), and for those who want lots of features, they probably want the extra HP too. Of course, those on OTT want all the features but deperately want to avoid DPF. That's a market that Kubota is...

A well specced trailer with good brakes on both axles will substantially reduce how much it pushes your truck around. Yes, if you get a sway on a 3/4 ton will control it better. But for occasional towing, and if you're loading sensibly, and you're not relying on the truck to stop the trailer...

I figured I needed to have another go. Apparently I wasn't obvious enough the first time. :)

Sure you do. A tractor that isn't in the appropriate hours bracket is clearly worth less. Look how many conversations have been had on here "that's too few hours for its age, clearly something is wrong with it". Putting more hours on a tractor increases its value. It's a duty that tractor owners...

Looks mint. I hope you're going to be very very happy, and expect you will be. Now you need to put some hours on it - at the age it is it really needs extra hours to get to where it should be. Strict regime of 16 hours every weekend will go some way to remedy things.
