You can't believe everything you read on the internet!! If you want to lift logs, you need a loader. Any older machine without a loader is a problem, it's far more expensive to add a loader after you buy it than it is to just buy one with a loader. And, of course, that's why they're cheaper...

How many years do the actuarial tables say you need? Kubota have a very good track record of providing parts for 20 years. So, if you need 20 years or less, buy a brand new Kubota of a common model that thousands of other people have, and treat it well. You'll have all the support and parts you...

Yes, too good to be true, therefore probably isn't true. Normal form is to ask them for a photo of something obscure that you claim to be interested in. If they don't actually have the tractor they can't provide it. Having said that, it's not actually a Facebook marketplace scam, and they look...

You may be able to reverse engineer what it should be doing, particularly if it's mostly checking the safety switches and deciding whether to let you start / whether to cut the fuel if you're clearly doing something unsafe (as defined by California legislators). I haven't seen that unit, but...

Someone had a good video online about running a bigger mower than is recommended. In short, if you can run an 8 foot mower at 10mph, you should be able to run a 10 foot mower at 8mph - you're cutting the same grass per hour with both, and that's what uses the HP. (Yes, a bigger mower may have...

There must be some diagnostic logic that would let you determine whether it's the controller or not. If you know what the inputs to the controller should be, you can check them one by one and eliminate a faulty input as a cause. Presumably there are some circuits that need to be open (safety...

Things like that only really work in person in my experience. No harm in trying the phone, but I doubt you'll get as good info as popping in to say hi.

Awesome. Mowers are often available at farm auctions in reasonable condition.

My B2601 creeps down on the throttle too. There's an adjust on the end of the throttle rod on mine, probably on yours too. It works for a while then it starts doing that again. I'm not sure if it's a friction issue with the cable somewhere (and it not sticking well enough), or whether there's...

I'd check that PTO reasonably soon. No real reason to think there'd be a problem. But most dealers would give you a couple months warranty - if it's not working they'll help out. Not if you wait too long though.

Jealousy from everyone else on here is the major issue that you're going to have.

Great looking machine, and a lot of fun to be had. I'm not sure I'd have patience to buff my machine, but it sure looks a lot better on the bit you did. I limit myself to a quick spray with a rattle can I got when I bought it - covering the various scratches I put on it so it still looks mostly...

Keep the excavator and add something? No need for a backhoe if you have an excavator, so you could get a B with a loader. That'd also mow really well.

I think this is the bit that has people confused. I think in your use, you coast around the turn. So you clutch coming into the turn, which loses speed and coasts around the turn. When you're facing the other way you let the clutch out again, which is no worse on the clutch than any start (and...

If you have time and space, why not. Other people would drop $3K on a set of golf clubs. To be fair, a set of golf clubs will take up less garage space. My guess is it's been well used, but probably still running fine. Most of them are. Might have had one owner most of its life and been...

Nobody said you were lying, you're reading a bit too much into a comment someone probably typed in 30 seconds on a mobile phone on the internet. You aren't particularly open to HST. It's fine that you have a preference for gear drive. I'd say that something like 70% of people on this forum...

https://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors/000/3/8/386-kubota-tg1860.html It is in fact diesel, so long as it's not the G model. Hard to go wrong for $1,500. But if you have an F, what on earth would you want with a TG? My guess is that the motor is hard to break (but people do manage it)...

No, I believe he's talking about the anti-scalp wheels. In that photo you can see anti-scalp wheels on the rear of the deck ( just in front of the rear tires). You can see a bracket for anti-scalp wheels on the front of the deck, but no wheel.

When you look at the deck it has anti-scalp wheels on each corner of the deck. The front ones are entirely missing - someone's taken them off then lost them.
