    Best Source for Brush Hog Blades

    So I’ve got an old brush hog in need of new blades. I could try dressing them up but I’d rather not create a balance issue. So I am looking for a good source for reasonably priced blades. This is a 4’ model. Perhaps a Count Lone made by King Cutter. Blades are 18.5”x3”x1/2” with an 1 ⅛” bolt...

    B7200HST D Tires

    Thanks Dave. I’ve got the manual and I know which tire sizes I need. The problem is sourcing them for a reasonable price. 4 tires on this thing add up to the cost of the damn machine. [emoji2357] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    B7200HST D Tires

    Ok my little Kubota has a mix of turf tires in the front and car radials in the back (how I got it). I need to get this thing elevated a bit. I’ve got a mid mount mower on it but is virtually useless on all but the flattest ground before it hits the bottom of the machine. I need a source for...

    B2650HSD Price Quote - Is it reasonable???

    I’ve called dealerships in four states around me. Believe it or not this was the second lowest price of those that would deal with me. Several refused to sell outside their area. Wondering if there is wiggle room based upon large down payment or cash ([emoji51]). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    B2650HSD Price Quote - Is it reasonable???

    No cab, grapple, or rear remote valve. You’ve probably got 8,000 or more in extras so yeah that’s a better deal. [emoji1360] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    B2650HSD Price Quote - Is it reasonable???

    Well that’s close to my quote without the options you added. Maybe a hair less. Tax? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    B2650HSD Price Quote - Is it reasonable???

    Yes I know 9% is crazy high. Formerly from MT and I could try to price one out there but technically you are supposed to pay sales tax even on out of state purchases. Price is similar to the other major dealers in the area. It’s a tough decision to jump. Been wanting to replace my old B7200...

    B2650HSD Price Quote - Is it reasonable???

    So here is the breakdown on pricing I was offered today. I’ll likely go for the 5 year financing with 0 interest, 0 down, and no payments for 90 days. Let me know if this is a decent deal all things considered. B2650 FEL with 54” quick attach BH77 backhoe with 16” bucket and mechanical thumb...

    B2650HSD w/ mid mount mower

    I’ve got a ton of blackberry brambles, trees that go down or get dropped and an invasive scotch broom we have to deal with every year. I feel like the grapple we be real good for that. I could probably uproot a lot with the bucket with teeth but moving and piling would still be a chore. More...

    B2650HSD w/ mid mount mower

    Yeah I think skipping the mower deck is a better way to go. Thanks for the replies everyone. Now to narrow down options. Definitely thinking 3rd function valve up front for the future versatility. Maybe a grapple if I can swing it. Oh the decisions... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    B2650HSD w/ mid mount mower

    Good feedback. Not a lot to maneuver around but the yard is irregular shaped and has some side hill. I’m thinking I’ll see if I can swing a better deal if I add a zero turn to the buy. I’ll probably look at the KUBOTA 100 series as I prefer orange. If I can’t swing a better buy I might just keep...

    B2650HSD w/ mid mount mower

    Appreciate the inputs thus far. Some for and some against going the MMM route. Still on the fence. It’s an awful lot of money if it turns out not to be the way to go. I’m going to discuss with the dealer a bit as well. Not worried about the attach/detach as should be relatively easy in the...

    B2650HSD w/ mid mount mower

    So with the even better deals in price and financing I am seriously considering getting rid of my Husqvarna riding mower and Kubota B7200 tractor. I am thinking about the leap to the B2650HSD with loader and backhoe. I’ve got five acres of mixed wooded hilly terrain, ¼ mile of gravel private...

    B7200 Replacement Tires

    Yeah the manual shows 31’s or 29’s with the 20.5 front. Doing the math and assuming the 1.464 ratio (which is what my research shows as the B7200HSTD ratio) these should be almost perfect. Carlisle shows the following rolling circumference: 20x8-10 = 57.1” 27x12.50-15 = 83.1” 57.1” x 1.464...
