Heh. Of course.

You can do it with a B, an LX, and an L. You size the box blade to suit. Mowing is actually the interesting task to me. How much mowing, and do you want a MMM? If yes, then B or LX. If you are planning a rotary cutter or rear finish mower, then the L is the right machine. Do you want a cab? L...

You have it and it's working for you? What could you sell it for, and what would you replace it with? I suspect the resale on it wouldn't be great, people will assume it's a bad one if you're selling it. If it's working for you it's likely that it's worth more to you than you can sell it for...

The hours aren't mentioned anywhere. Perhaps it has massively high hours somehow? But it looks very tidy. I suspect they missed a zero on the price.

I had my heart set on a Grand-L for our new property. They are a very nice tractor. I ended up with an MX. It's quite a bit more tractor, and in my part of the world a little less expensive. The Grand-L does have a lot of electronics, but a bit of rain shouldn't hurt them. I wouldn't leave it...

I have a Takeuchi TB216. It's an excellent machine. https://www.takeuchi.co.nz/excavators/mini-excavators/compact-mini-digger-excavator-tb216 Not sure how common they are in the USA, down here most rental fleets are full of them and have been for years - I take that to mean that they're very...

A member on here makes a turbo for the L2501/L2502. I'm pretty sure you can turn up the fuelling and revs on most of the 26hp-ish models to get more power - those same engines are often available in other specs with significantly more power (and therefore with emissions equipment). I always...

B2601 is a good idea, and one of the reasons I bought it is that I can add a BH later (don't have to make the decision upon buying). But I bought new, so I'd buy a new BH if I wanted one. I never actually purchased one. The B26 is an even better machine - based on the B2601, but it's the...

You should do what you want to do. Your tractor, your money. If your local Kubota dealer is good, and your local JD dealer not, makes sense to switch. It's a chunk of money, I'd probably persevere. But it's not unreasonable to change. And I think you said you've already done it.......so not...

You'll like the BX. It's a good machine. Congratulations and welcome.

Didn't sound like a NEED. Sounded like a WANT. Perhaps even the most powerful word of all - a DESERVE.

Chain hooks. I always meant to do that, and never have. Which means I put a chain over the top of the bucket (or forks if they're on) and scratch the paint. Turns out scratched paint doesn't stop a bucket from working.

The L60 is a better machine, and your math makes sense. So, if the L6060 is the right machine for you, it's better than upgrading the L4060 to end up still not at an L60. But it's a good question whether the L6060 is the right machine for you. If it's not, then when you're changing machines...

B2601 is a gerat tractor. I have one. It has position control. I wish I'd got a land plane instead of a box blade. I need a box blade for some tasks, but it really doesn't do the driveway as well as I'd like. I'll probably borrow a land plane and if it works, buy it.l The main use I have for...

I often buy things like this. Most of the time they turn up. Sometimes they don't (not often). I could go verify every single vendor, maybe go inspect in person. That'd cost me way more than I lose. I wouldn't want every one to be a scam, but I accept a percentage will be.
