    “Borrowing” the neighbor’s equipment… the Liability…

    I borrowed my neighbor’s small excavator to dig out some mequite-roots which I’d paid to have scraped-off by a local “Land Clearing” guy… Frankly, I was at fault for imagining what the end-result might be… I had imagined a piece of cleared land…. instead, I got a $800 invoice and a a...

    Why I hate wire fences…

    While cruising the property this last week I came across this scene…. It was a miserable way to die for her…. I’m very saddened by it. When I can afford it…. I plan to remove all the wire fences on this property and replace with slatted or wood or …anything but wire.

    This Thread is simply about how SATISFIED and HAPPY a man can be with a Kubota Tractor.

    Every once in a while I accomplish work around the place that was only possible and/or enjoyable because of this Orange Tractor. It can even be a Small Job… but one that would have been really Hard Work…except for the utility of this reliable machine. I can go out to the hangar (shed, garage...

    I have a pin-on loader (LA-1002) which, although popular in the mid 1990’s… is not often mentioned by attachment/implement mfr’s these days…. as most are nowadays made for SSQA stuff.

    Whole Goods VS Parts

    I’ve been talking to three different Kubota dealers about buying new parts/kits…. and when talking to the “parts” man and finding the prices exorbitant (no surprise there)… I asked the question, “What if we order it “whole goods”..?? and the parts-guy tells me he’ll have to transfer me to a...

    Telescoping 3-pt lift arms

    We had a Forum Participant here a few months ago who had bought some telescoping lift arms off a Kubota (unknown model) which I dithered over before deciding I’d like to have a set for my M4700. By the time I got off my butt and took measurements he’d sold them already. If anyone has any...

    Cut ‘n’ Paste

    A post in another thread caused me to realize how I could be really helpful to others….and I thought I’d save all my friends here some time and trouble by offering a phrase I’ve seen…. Repeatedly…on these forums as a “Cut ‘n’ Paste”…. so that they might save key-strokes. The phrase I found...

    Squirrel, I think! Grrrr….

    I quit shooting squirrels that get into the bird feeders because I hate the bad feelings of killing them picking them up and tossing them out into the woods behind the house. I came to see them as comical acrobats and got over them getting into the feeders. That may change. I hadn’t driven my...

    We’ve searched grocery stores high and low….and apparently mincemeat is no longer sufficiently popular to be carried anymore. Nonsuch brand has become a collectible on ebay and amazon…. Walmart claims to have it..but at $47 per 27 ounce bottle. go figure.

    Hangar door???

    This Topic/Thread was very kindly split-off from one discussing Kubota Prices because it inadvertently hijacked the original. Thx NIW. You were lucky to fine THAT one even at That Time. It was a one-off. In May, 2018 I bought my 390-hour M4700DT with FEL & bucket for $17K. I doubt that...
