I found this blade in the weeds out in the pasture. Wonder if I can fab this up to make a rear blade I can attach to the three point. Any thoughts?

lol you are absolutely right. I don't mean to discount the hard work that anyone has put forth thus far. Just to clarify I do not mean a fresh start on post counts, rather the reputation system. A solution may be to give members with a certain minimum post count the top tier level of the...

The ability for the thread author to mark a certain post as "the best or most useful answer" may be appropriate in certain "help" forums. This would highlight the "best answer" post in a certain transparent color How about orange? lol Also the ability for the reader to click to view the best...

I have noticed that there is not a way to rate posts or users (unless I am missing it). Some forum admins exclude this option for whatever reasons but imho it is a great feature as long as it is not abused. Limit abuse by allowing only positive feedback and no commenting, or as a VIP members...

Also, maybe a small slideshow of recent gallery posts.

Has anyone considered pulling the latest posts from the forum and display them on the main page using rss? Shouldnt be too hard to do. Also could display the hottest 10 threads, most important sticky threads, rules, terms of service and forum announcements. Just my two pennies. :cool:

I finally found a parts diagram to identify what the two rods are that attach to the inside of the boom.I now know that they are identified as "stand". However the diagram did not say what in the world the "stand" is for. I assume, it is something to do with removing the bucket. I hope, it is a...

Well I am the proud owner of a b7200! No power steering, no problem. It is what it is. I love this tractor! Its annoying but I am saving up for another Kubota starting right now haha! I should have taken before and after pics of my property but oh well. The things I accomplished today, whew...

Thanks, much appreciated. Two very different, yet valid and reasonable points of view. I have never owned a tractor and the only one I have ever driven didn’t have power steering and it wasn’t terrible. Though he had a bale of hay on the spike to offset. So, I don’t really know what I’m...

I just have one question. Do you guys think I will regret buying a tractor with no power steering? Other options have come up for nearly the same price. I feel committed because the owner has held it for nearly a month but I’m torn now.

Hey just thought I would post an update. Getting ready to go pick this tractor up Monday afternoon. The owner sent me a video of him starting it. I asked him if it smokes and if the bucket is straight. He said it never smokes. Sent me the video to confirm. Bucket is straight no dents. Also the...

85Hokie: Thank you for the good advice. He says it doesn’t smoke at all. Not at all. Says the bucket is straight too. Of course I will see on Monday. He said he has owned it for 4 years and never changed the hydro, though he said he changed the oil this last winter. He said he hasn’t greased...

I’m in lower Michigan.

Hey thanks for the quick reply. I have considered the no power steering issue. Although I have not experienced it yet I’m thinking the workout is going to be a heck of a lot better than using a shovel and wheelbarrow if I didn’t have a tractor :D Are there any things I should be specifically...
