Or put some duct tape over it. I know, I'm not even a farmer.......

One of the two buttons is labelled "travel speed". May be some sort of cruise control on it. Can you tell the dealer you're interested, but can't physically get in till Tuesday, can they give you a right of refusal? Perhaps pay a deposit to show you're serious. Tractors like that don't move...

You don't have to buy SUDT2, and it's not unreasonably priced for a synthetic hydraulic oil. If your climate isn't all that cold (i.e. doesn't go below freezing), then the old school UDT works just fine, and most Kubota tractors list both as being suitable. SUDT2 has many benefits, but the main...

Agree. It was the B3350 that had a unique emissions system that was supposed to be cheaper, but turned out to just be worse. Some people have great luck with them, particularly in warm climates. Others have no success at all. But I'm not aware of any systemic issues with an L3901, and in fact...

Interim tier IV, depending on size, may have meant "we allow you to still make this even though it doesn't actually hit the emissions requirements." As you say, it often meant that the more troublesome bits of emissions equipment weren't on them.

Dad had a big Ford 2WD that he used to cut paddocks with. He swapped to a smaller 4WD Kubota that he reckoned was just as capable, but fit into more places. Unless you want to swing a really big mower, I think this tractor would suit you well. If you have no need for a loader, then this is great...

A 2wd will work fine. It's a good size machine, and an FEL is a step up from no FEL. People have had 2wd tractors for years, yes there are limitations, but there are also workarounds for those limitations. You can still get work done. Personally, I would go with HST and 4WD. You've never had...

Are you sure the hour meter isn't working? It wouldn't move much in a short run. Did it work at all when you mowed today?

I clean my deck when I sharpen the blades. About once every couple months. I mow a lot, and I mow damp grass often (I mow when I can get on the lawn and when I have time). It builds up a bit, but not much, the deck mostly self cleans. As others have said, it probably depends on your soil...

Agree it sounds like it sat on the lot - all the things you describe would be about what I'd expect for a tractor that sat outside for 18 months. When I bought my B2601 they had one that had been on the lot. The shop is near the coast, and anything that had been on their lot more than a few...

I just gave my landscape rake to my brother in law. I used it when putting in the lawn to rake stones. Haven't used it since - 7 years. Glad to have it out of my shed.

The Grand-L is a better machine. Are you sure you couldn't stretch to the L4060? That would solve all your concerns.....

A B6100 HST is unlikely to be under warranty. They were last made in 1997. https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/007/5/6/7560-kubota-b6100hst.html Neil from Messicks has a video on grill guards. It's pretty common, common enough that Kubota have started making grill guards. I've also seen...

I've never understood the steering wheel spinner. I seem to do fine just with my hand on top of the wheel. Is there something I'm missing?

Harder than you think. Screenshot, then it's too big to upload, then I have to convert to a lower resolution format. But I did it because I care, so hope you all enjoy it.

Aha. That's what I get for pattern matching. 30, 40, 60 all grand. 50....not. I guess that's why they didn't reuse the number.

As others have noted, R4s are more construction focused, and heavier duty. Probably doesn't matter, but if you do get a puncture in the woods you'll be thinking "wish I got the R14s". To me you get the R14s if you have a specific reason for it, the default is the R4s. You didn't have a lot of...

Is that not a grand-L? I thought the 50 and 60 series were grand L.

To have fronts that worn I'd expect it's been used with a loader, even if the loader's not on it now. I wouldn't buy a machine without a loader personally, most people need one, and they're expensive to add later. Way better to buy a machine with one on. A tiller should have some sort of slip...

I didn't think L series machines (other than grand-L) had a mid PTO?
