    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    lol! I clicked on “New Posts” and somehow ended up there. I’m not familiar w/forums. But my question stands.

    Backhoe Hydraulic Line Failure

    They do look too long compared to the other picture. The least the dealer could do is fix it and put a sleeve on for your trouble. I’d re-visit a nd mention the thousands of followers you have on a Kubota Forum💪

    Thank you! The compost bins are large since we get trailers of manure from a nearby horse farm. I’m frequently getting large trees from the forest/ neighbors as well as frequently adding garden beds

    Yep. I’m pretty much at peace w/the HTS. Probably easier to sell also if it came to that.

    The skidding winch looks amazing! I’ve never seen nor heard of one.

    Great info and yes, I’ve done similar w/experience neighbor who has larger tractor. The difference in handling wood 1 vs 3 (or more) times is huge. The L2502 is where I’m leaning. I think it would handle garden/yard and forest duties. I’ve seen pretty new, low hour ones for ~$20k within 4...

    I still need a few discussions w/the banker re: realistic $. I’m still over medicated/early recovery so no important decisions to be made yet. I like the L2502. Still prefer gear vs HST. I did ask her if she had any intentions of driving it and she didn’t take me serious, thinking I was just...

    What would be the reason to deliver a new tractor with this problem

    That’s a butt-clinching start to your new tractor. Thankfully no damage and all is good. I think I’d have worked the dealer for a Kubota hat at least, lol.

    Heard back from dealer. The LX and L priced similar. B is about 4 grand less. Their all above $25k w/front loader, grapple and 3rd function. Thank you for your input. Did you actually tally votes on your poll?

    Thank you! Such good feedback. It seems any of the sub compact or compact line will work for me. It’s a matter of narrowing down which attachments/how much $ to spend.

    I like the XMark for mowing because it’s so fast/maneuverable. That’s where the LX SU may be a good fit without the mid PTO. I have a 30 ton log splitter w/commercial Honda engine so that’s handled. Would a box blade work to clear snow/ice from gravel driveway? We don’t get so much snow that a...

    Could you expand on how the B2601 didn’t impress you? I know a lot of people on this site have them so we can leave it at that if you prefer.

    Thanks for that! Of course I started at the BX being perfect but now I need a L2502, lol. The BX would get me the BH, which is the window on bigger units. There are a few L2502 used for ~$20k but would still need grapple, box blade… It’s a fun hunt for sure. I’ll see if the Commander will go to...

    Glad to stumble across this forum. I’m currently in search mode. We have 3 acres in Nantahala Forest region of WNC above 3,000 ft. About 1 acre unlevel grass I mow w/48” ZTR with knobbier tires which actually almost works. No sliding and minimal turf damage if it’s dry and I’m careful. Standard...
