    First Time Buyer MX4700

    I have used and owned 2WD, 4WD, HST, Geared w shuttle shift. Even though your land is flat, tilling or plowing will work much better with 4WD. It certainly can be done with 2WD however. FEL is a must for any farm work. I personally like HST for smaller mowing tractors. For all other, I...

    Your diesel engine in your Kubota will last your lifetime and beyond. I’ve had many several Cummins truck engines that never failed with very high miles. I know the LORD uses people to spread his kingdom. I know, because I didn‘t believe for a long time. From a friends death from the...

    I bought my first Kubota with over 6000 hrs on it when I was young and she ran strong for many years! I love your truck stickers. The ONE thing I DO know, you got the most important decision of your life correct! 777

    Dishonest, Clueless, Wanker. From the questions you have asked me on how I operate my gear drive, you should not be calling ANYBODY clueless, let alone names. You are funny however, that $hit is hilarious. When you grow up, we can all talk about some of the funny things you would say when you...

    He answered talking about me, directly answering me “ but I try to be open and HONEST about their differences without any bias”. He inferred I was not honest in my post. But it’s whatever, I would not call someone out like that. He talked smack, and then never gave opinions on the pros of...

    No. Get the gear you want from first row for speed, along with corresponding engine RPM to get your 540 RPMs on PTO for example and set that ( if you don’t know how, look it up). You might want to adjust gears with engine RPMs if too fast or bumpy or whatever then reset. At turn, depress...

    Don’t know Flip. I think I said running that saw on front that HST is prob better for that application, but I do the same thing with a different implement for tree trimming with shuttle shift without complaint. i Don’t need validating, I’m just giving my opinions on doing the same things with...

    How far to push the hydraulics

    I have removed stumps with backhoe and bulldozer. If you have lots of stumps or trees, the dozer is by far the best , most efficient, and easiest. Dozers are maybe not as expensive to rent as you might think, and super easy to operate. Cut new roads, clear fence lines, creek crossings, bury...

    Firstly, thanks for the reply. I knew the answer to the question of the pros of HST over gear before I asked the question. I owned and worked an HST for thousands of hours. I was hoping the dude that inferred I was not honest in my assessments would get back with me on that answer because...

    Plastic, stackable pallets?

    I use a heavier duty ones that I found on my wife’s FB marketplace. I think you can find them a little cheaper also. Great for firewood.

    Never replaced one running my own tractors for over 30 years. Im not running on featherd clutch as you might be thinking. Full clutch depressed to slow and feather to accelerate like you do in your 18 wheeler. .

    I keep engine and PTO RPMs the same throughout that I have previously set and use clutch for slowing and accelerating. Pretty simple. edit: What are the pros of HST that you speak of ? And how am I not open and honest ? What about me lying?

    Considering a L5030 HSTC

    Are you accentuating that I’m not open and honest? Please elaborate. As far as bias, I do favor geared and not prejudiced against HST. Not sure what you mean. I have OWNED and OPERATED all. As far as your example of slowing and turning using gears vs HST. Geared use your left foot for...

    yea I guess the downside is if you don’t have enough gears.
