32????? Good lord I have socks older than you:D
The real question is, "How old were you when you got your first Kubota?" Cory at 32 is showing wisdom beyond his years in choosing for a new Kubota to grow old with.

We may need a new thread about how old on the first Kubota. Myself I was 13 or 14 if I remember right. I've slept several times since then.

I am 61. Now that I am done paying college tuition, I can finally afford my orange tractor!

You want the ages of me, my wife (it is "ours" after all) or our boy who will be running the wheels off this thing in a few short years? He's 2 now and sleeps with a Kubota in his hand. That might bring the average down a bit.

I'm 56 but was 55 when the survey started. I'll leave the math to you.

I was 30 when I bought my L185DT. At the time I believe Kubota and Yanmar were the only games in town, for a small tractor. All of the American companies had shifted to larger machines. So I got a 4WD TLB for just change over $8000! Now I'm so Orange, if I drove around naked you wouldn't see me on the tractor...

Thanks

I appreciate you guys taking the time to reply.

So at this point with 107 members reporting their age we are at....

53 YEARS YOUNG!!

We finally had some decent weather last week here in Southern Illinois, but its rather cool this week. We have had a couple frost warnings for the folks that put out their garden early. I have garlic, spinach, lettuce and radishes growing so I've been safe from the frost.

Ill be in Florida for the weekend so I'm going to try and bring back some of that sunshine of theirs. :D

Thanks again...
