I take my rear blade off every time I need to do snow removal. I just got Pats quick hitch and I don’t know how I lived without it. It’s not “drive up and go”, but I no longer have to muscle stuff anymore. It’s worth every penny.

If you are performance matching implements to your machine you will probably be fine. Kubota wouldn't sell the B2301 if it wasn't a decent machine. A B2301 might do things slower, but it's 100 times faster than doing it by hand. $1,500 is the cost of an implement. I would try to set your...

Hey that's pretty cool.

Since you’re in Chicago I’d consider how much snow you get on average too. Snowblowers are great, but tend to be $$$. You might find a small rear blade cheap on the used market and it could work well enough for the few times a year you need it. I have a blade with a rubber cutting edge. I find...

It's an expensive attachment. I have the even smaller BH70 on my B2601. Realistically, for me it probably will never pay off financially. But I do like having it, I end up doing tasks I would have done by hand before (and wouldn't have rented a machine for or contracted out). It's fun to use...

Does that step cause interference if you have the mid mount mower?

Im surprised and not surprised by the Debbie downers and negativity in this thread. I find it interesting that people can’t be open the potential and the possibilities of new technologies and only can think negatively. With narrow mindsets like that we’d still be using horses on dirt paths.

Hey that's pretty cool thanks for sharing.

Hey all I'm Greg. David's a really nice guy and helped me get the template he needed. I have a set and they are really nice quality (material, magnets, construction) and work really well. I just wish I had a cab now ;) so I could be warm too.

I think the average rate for kWh is in the low to mid teens for the USA. I think fewer utilities offer these “sweet” buyback deals for electricity you sell back (where they are buying back at a rate higher than you pay). That used to be the case a long time ago but as PV has increased in...

Kilowatts is power. Energy is power sustained over time - kWh. A person does not “use” 12.1 kW a day because kW is a power unit. On the other hand, if you ran a 12.1 kW motor all day long you would use 290.4 kWh in a day. Thats a lot (like $1000/month electricity bill at $0.12/kWh) The best...

Congrats. What are you operating now? (you mention a tractor crossing, sounds like you currently have a tractor?)

The B2601 treadle pedal is awful (too stiff). I'm pretty sure the LX doesn't suffer this issue.

This x100. This is human nature. We oppose change. I promise you that people looked down on the first automobiles in favor of their horse and buggies. Horse and buggies were faster, quieter, more reliable. Hell, where were you going to get fuel for that fancy automobile!? Imagine if everyone...

I work in the clean energy industry. Electrification and reducing carbon emissions is probably one of the greatest and complex challenges our society may face. It won’t be cheap or easy. The question is, “is it worth to it?” If you believe climate change is fake, then probably not. If you think...
