That would have no problem hauling a jeep. If you had the ramps the jeep probably could fit in the bed. It does sound like a Kubota tractor designation instead of a military truck. What are you planning on using that monster for?

This is a 70hp tractor at half price. Even the added costs of emissions cannot explain how this is so cheap. https://foreignmachinery.en.made-in-china.com/product/sBKQkCUcEhWx/China-Kubota-Tractor-M704K-for-Sale.html...

How badly did it wear the tractor tires? I would think the tires would wear out in that distance...at least once.

When I look I consistently find $3 a mile. Some charge more, some a little less. I do not think I have seen under $2.75 a mile so far. Then again, I am outside the major hauling areas.

I may have found a cheap L39 with 2000 hours. If it is not a scam and not already spoken for, I will almost certainly get it. It will require an 8 hour drive to look at. It was supposed to have had a new engine 500 hours ago. I hope it still has the engine side panels. It has doors and the rear...

Safety switches are a real possibility. Check your fuel pressure. The tractor may need a new fuel pump.

If you have free time and free pallets you can build a cheap floor to keep your tracks above the ground. Building Floor For Harbor Freight 10x17 Carport - YouTube

As stated used loaders for tractors almost do not exist. If you buy a tractor this cheap and the tractor breaks down in a very expensive way the loader if straight, has tight joints, and is working well (I have seen a seriously tweaked loader with bad repair welds) remains in good shape you can...

I am thinking about a seat like this. Some modification will likely be necessary for your tractors bolt holes, but the price is great, the reviews are decent and drilling a few holes in a mounting plate is easy. VEVOR Universal Tractor Suspension Seat, 35-170° Backrest Angle Adjustable Air...

I would suggest getting something like this. 12 ft. x 20 ft. Truck/SUV Portable Garage There are plenty of options around $500. I would not buy a harbor freight or no brand version. Get a heavy duty one with UV protection and a decent warranty on the tarp. I bought a no name one and the tarp...

Maybe it was. Maybe Best Buy was advertising a pop up camper. 🤠

I saw a L3710 GST with 2200 hours at an auction today. Because I have learned a few things along the way I did NOT buy it. Upon inspection the loader was twisted. The round bar holding the loader together had been broken loose and rewelded badly multiple times. The 3 point hitch arms were...

He was specifically talking about the L2501. He said his dealership had turned up engines in the past. I just put it out there to consider.

When you have unskilled volunteer labor that cost is negligible. I know, because my own unskilled volunteer labor has cost me almost nothing over the years.

I talked to a Kubota salesman who has been a mechanic. He said the bottom end of the 25hp engine is bulletproof. the top end, not so much. The engine can be hopped up to 28hp with no issues. What he says happens is the excessive pressures and heat crack the head or blow out the head gasket. The...
