    Just my $0.02 worth... As I recall from when I got my grapple a couple of years ago. They only work 4-10 hour days and Friday morning if they work it's just cleaning the shop and the slag out of the lasers... On social media in general this describes my feeling best....

    dealer prices ??

    The difference is that the tire only is thru parts. The tire and rim is thru the sales dept (AKA the way the new tractors are sold with the tires of choice). The markup to put it politely somewhat different between the two sales channels.

    New Lx2610 rust

    You can if you want get a can of the Kubota Gray paint from the dealer to paint those spots if it's a concern. I got a can to paint the tie down hooks and the top & tilt cylinders I made a couple of years ago. The paint is still holding up really well on them.

    Kubota V1505 engine ...... Questions about a block heater...Updated.

    Yes use pipe dope on the threaded block heaters If I remember right it's 1 3/8 socket to install. The factory plug takes either 17 or 19mm hex (think it's 17 but it's been a few years...). Just a heads up the factory plug is super tight probably 125 ftlbs +- . I would not use a in hose heater...

    Property tax

    I rest my case if your willing to give up and throw up your hands in defeat... Move to someplace that makes all your decisions for you... China, Cuba Russia are options. If your not willing to accept bull crap and the extreme jerks on both the Right and the Left. And work to get moderates that...

I have Wi-Fi in my barn so I have a Wi-Fi controlled outlet that I turn on about 1 hour before I go out to start the tractor. I use mine mostly because I want to limit the really cold starts as...

    Temporary bucket mod for snow?

    Here in Mid-Michigan I just use a cheap back blade. I drive over the snow plowing forward. Then use the bucket to pile the snow off to the side of the barn. If the snow is over 6-8" deep I set the bucket 4" off the ground and still go forward. Works great 350' long 15' wide paved drive. Most the...
