If your local dealer has "sky-high pricing" then consider buying from Kubota dealers that have an on-line presence. And buy in case lots.

Same here. Both hand trucks, wheelbarrow - all got solid tires a few years back. No more problems!

Amen!

Same here. My brother enjoys them and keeps asking me to join him on their family cruises. No way. When I asked what he did to keep occupied for a week on a boat the answer was "relax". To me that's utter boredom. When I "relax" its maybe for an hour or two. Got to keep doing things, got...

Ponds are called "tanks" all over northern Arizona. I'd never heard them called that until I started exploring the Arizona Strip.

^This! Some years ago when I was a member of a small-town volunteer fire department, one of the services we provided was to clean chimneys for free. That extra work for us was better than having to jump up at 2 in the morning and fighting a chimney or house fire!

If you can get a M7060 cab model for $60k, jump on it. Eight years ago when I was tractor shopping a Kubota dealer worked me up a quote for a M7060 with the 12 speed, cab model with loader....$71k!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luckily, about that time I found a used one (2016 model) with only 179 hours on...

Going through my Dad's stuff after he passed away I found the invoice for a Ford 861 Powermaster tractor he bought brand new in 1960. $3475 with a snow plow installed! How much would an equivalent new tractor like that cost today?

I'd love to do that - but the nearest Kubota dealer is 130 miles away and caters mainly to the mining industry. Stocks hardly anything for my M7060 - tells me "we can order that". Well...I can "order that" myself right from my house and have it delivered right to the house!

You must be abusing your tractors so they are getting even with you!;););) Never had that happen - but then I've got only about 806 hours on mine so far. Guess the only bad experience I've had with the regen system was one day a year or so ago when I fired up the tractor on a bitter cold day...

I have a 2016 M7060. No problems whatsoever with the engine/emissions. It has a DPF and regenerates every so often but the only way I know it is going through a regeneration cycle is that a light comes on in the dash. I just keep on doing whatever I am doing and after a few minutes the light...

Been installing Bushwacker flares on all my vehicles for years now. I drive mainly dirt roads and gravel coming off the tires quickly removes the paint at the edge of the wheel wells, leading to rust. Gravel doesn't seem to affect the Bushwackers, even after thousands of miles. And yes, they...

I use Slime but only in the tires on my ATV and side by side. Seems like every plant in the desert has thorns sticking out and those thorns are stiff enough to penetrate the thin ATV/UTV tires and cause slow leaks. Slime does a great job of stopping the leaks.

I bet I have at least a dozen of these BatteryMinder units. Motorcycle, quad, tractors, everything I'm not driving daily is hooked up. In my experience these things have doubled the average life of my batteries. But I don't use the alligator clips the units come with. I install leads on...

Spent a lot of time on tractors growing up. This is me at 8 years old driving our old Oliver 70. Date is on the pic: First tractor I bought myself was a Massey Ferguson TO30. That was in 1995. I know I have a pic of it somewhere but can't find it right now. Only had it a couple years...
