"I was just concerned the L series might not be as dependable long term. I guess my mind tells me it's a lower grade than the M, so it won't last as long." I'll be darned. Seriously?

yes

I have a Wallenstein wood splitter [nice] but I give up, what the heck is this one?

My 4701 lives here where it can be even colder than yours. I use mine all year, in the winter mainly for snow removal and hauling firewood. Will yours be used in winter or stored? I would check the antifreeze, first. If the tractor won't be used, I would opt to remove the battery and store it...

I am in Colorado at 8500' and with a very steep driveway to plow. I keep the tractor in 4wd full time but don't have chains. Over the years there have been three or four times I could have used them but got by without. Once I checked into them and they are not inexpensive [unless you really...

I figure the block heater would likely be more effective but the oil pan heater can work ok. I have them on my airplane engines [oil pan heaters] and over several hours it will not only heat the oil to about 110 F but I can put my bare hand on the top of a cylinder and it will be warm. So at the...

To the original question, yes, when instrument cluster replaced the hour meter reads zero. I did this once at about 300 hr. and when I sold the tractor years later told the buyer about the extra hours up front. I also had the invoice for the replacement cluster and its date, so all I needed to...

I have a pair I use now and then, no issues. No damage to bucket even when I unloaded and moved an 800-lb safe. [Very very slowly] I borrowed a steel pair from a friend a couple times, then bought an aluminum set from Northern Tool. The steel ones were quite heavy and I don't miss them. I...

"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.

I had big money in a set of batteries for our solar-elec home, and they had a life-time warranty [Edison nickel-iron batteries]. The cases went bad, cracked every one of the cells, and after two years of trying to get replacements, with the help of the US-based dealer, gave up. Nothing one can...

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.
