    "Hey Man...."

    Why do I help people? Simple: When the time comes where I need something I am not hesitant to ask for help or to borrow something. For instance I have a neighbor that grazes his horses on my property, our horses got old and passed away and we decided not to replace them. When I need anything...

    Match for Kubota paint?

    My dealer did not have Kubota orange, instead they stock Kimball Midwest bright orange and said it was a good match and held up better. For what they charged it should hold up, I think it was like $16 a can, but it is a good match and the can should last a while. You could tell it was quality by...

    "Hey Man...."

    I think the common thread here is that we have tractors and people with tractors usually work. If one of my neighbors need help I will if able but there are some neighbors that I will do whatever needs to be done over and beyond. These are the guys that will drop what they are doing and...

    Being silly

    I only ride ATVs now but when I was younger I had bikes. Every time I got a new one my dad would run it into something without fail. He drove stick all his life but for some reason he just did not get along with a bike's clutch. Kinda wish he was here to run my ATVs into something, sure miss him.

    The Eclipse

    It sounds like a swarm of buzzy bees, plane after plane flying southeast toward Casper/Douglas/Glendo. Seems like anyone with a plane is in the sky right now, quite a site, all kinds of private planes, every make and model. Wife's workplace is closing from 11 - 1.

    The Eclipse

    I never really thought about the great eclipse that is coming but my wife came home and had a few bits of news: 1. A guy she works with has a ranch, he got a call from someone that wanted a black and white goat to sacrifice. Creep-ed him out big time, needless to say he declined that business...

    Need general information about diesel engines.

    I was in the same boat, got my first diesel this May. If you look through my posts you will see that I am a complete novice. This site has a lot of knowledge available so dive in and start asking questions and use your machine to get real world experience.

    Never lie to the wife

    Wow, 60's are the new teens. In 60's also but my mind and judgment are still in the teens, lol. Wife is younger but acts much more mature and serious!!!

    Never lie to the wife

    I guess it works in a variety of situations, making the idea "theirs", male or female. Plus I have learned along the way to never contradict/argue with a lady that has 3 GSDs, lol.

    Guns and toolboxes

    I found a really good option, actually already had it, an elastic sleeve bullet holder that I have on my 270. Took it and tried it and it works, I think I got it at Cabela's, now just have to find a 22 version.

    Never lie to the wife

    You just have to figure out how to make it "her" idea.

    Never lie to the wife

    It is amazing how the wives change their opinions. My wife thought having a good shovel was all the equipment "I" needed, but when I got her out there working with a good shovel she quickly understood that a tractor moved a lot more material in a short amount of time, lol. Enter the 8Ns, surely...

    B2650 Next revision B50?

    Are you getting the cab model? If so I have a similar set up: FEL and snow blade with SSQA, no MMM and it came in just under 30K, got promotional discounts at an open house event so I think I saved about 2K overall. Set up was included at my dealer, it was not a line item charge.

    Opinions

    When I make a long term investment $$$ I look at resale and liquidity. How much can you get and how fast will it move. My bet would be that Kubota would have more inquiries if you needed to get rid of it. You are probably not anticipating that scenario but in this life you never know what will...

    Looking to replace 641 Ford with Kubota

    I replaced my two 8Ns with a B2650HSDC. The size and cab were the key factors for my choice, along with the no DPF needed. Depends on how much horsepower you need and footprint. I have a 7' back blade, a 5' brush hog and they both work good with this machine. I went with the FEL and a 6' snow...

    Thanks for all the input. Sounds like planning ahead is the key, especially in winter time when travel is restricted. With my 8Ns I always had plenty of oil and plugs and points on hand. Just a side note: 8Ns = 1 gallon per hour, B2650 = 1 gallon per 5 hours, quite an improvement.

    Never lie to the wife

    When I wanted an ATV I told my wife it was a "tool" to work. I have had it several years and find that low and behold I do more "work" than play with my Honda Foreman. Karma is having her way with me on this issue. Hopefully the purchase of my B2650HSDC will not perpetuate the Karma, I bought it...

    1/2 Full/Fuel Filter

    Since the Kubota dealer is a ways away are there any auto parts places, like NAPA, that have crosses for filters to get you out of trouble? And if so which ones have you had success with?

    1/2 Full/Fuel Filter

    Thanks for the tip, price of filter is negligible and I was dreading finding kerosene to clean it and would probably make a mess of it anyway. Pressure makes sense and I will definitely try and not get caught by the cold.
