    kubota zd28 with 700 hours on it?

    I love my ZD326. It hangs on steep hills and has plently of power. I cut 5 acres of unlevel ground with it. I have the 60 inch deck. I read the 70 is not as good on uneven lawns. The price seems good. They are low maintenance and are very comfortable. My mom even mows at 70 when she comes...

    New house New Tractor? BX2370 vs B2301

    I would go B series. My best friend has the BX and I have a B2601, they are both great. The B series is much more stable side to side on hills is what I have noticed. Also I find the more weight make a big difference in the traction. The little tires on the BX seem to get hung up easier in...

    Allis Chalmers Corn Planter

    I am just starting corn this season. I bought a farm last year and have been mainly clearing out what were fields 30 years ago (last owner let them grow over) and picking rocks out of the new one I am making. I should have about 10 acres ready to plant this year. I will eventually plant 30...
