"Elvis is dead" Is not.

This is what occurred to me

If one an fix something like this on a tractor for $250 or so, time and effort and ultimately money ahead to just replace with new, as you decided. You could fool around with the old manifold and try out repairing it for a spare, at your leisure, and meanwhile your tractor is back up running and...

I replaced the blade on my Land Pride rear blade and added skid shoes. I ended up needing a few longer bolts in this project and Kubota dealer had them.

I have bought three Kubotas over the years, same dealer but never any "negotiation" but as a repeat customer I did get a bit of a break on my most recent one [4701]. I didn't ask for it, he just muttered something about how he could give a bit for customer loyalty. However, this last time I was...

$5 K sounds, in reality, too low as you won't really know what all is "wrong" with this thing. Could be $500 but.... And I am not clear on why the machine has to be dragged to start the engine... If it's the starter, price out the replacement starter and add that to overhaul cost and figure it...

I've had three Kubota tractors over the past 25 years, and I've done all the services on them. Only been in once for warranty work, and it was about a hundred hours on the meter, and no one asked me anything about service records or etc. I didn't even think of it. I did have one other warranty...

i drive my tractor now and then a mile up our road to help my 93-yr-old neighbor with various tasks. The road is unimproved and very rocky. It is only a 2-mile round trip but i do see extra wear on my ag' tires. They are certainly not ruined or anything, but the wear is noticeable.

That probably does not include the loader, right? Hope I'm wrong.... Friend was googling around about the 4802 and said he's seeing projected prices around $38,000 but that was with a loader. My 4701 with loader was, just pre-pandemic, something like $31K before a couple discounts

I don't have a tooth bar, so I don't know precisely how they're attached...with several bolts/nuts? If so, would a small, battery-powered impact wrench carried on the tractor be able to zip off the nuts in two minutes? I am just thinking here.

Woo hoo! There you go...tractor worth it already.

Yes my 4701 shows full or nearly so when I find I can add almost another five-gal jug of diesel.

On my 4701, as with my L3000 before, tractor must move slightly almost every time to engage rear lock. I am in an often snowy/icy region and use the rear dif' lock frequently. All my tractors have been manual transmission.

I was thinking I read somewhere recently that Kubota was going to discontinue its utility vehicles. Is this the case?

Check whether you can simply replace the blade with a longer one. I did that on my Land Pride when I bought a new, wider tractor.
