I realize this thread is old, Otis, but what did the local Kubota dealer propose filling them with? I'm just over the hill from you in Bloomfield/West Petaluma, and I was planning on approaching them about options. Like you, I am loathe to haul the tractor two plus hours for beet juice, and I...

This story does not really surprise me. On the surface, the OP looks like a prudent borrower who, given their credit score, has likely not defaulted on a commitment recently, if ever. That alone doesn't always look like a good risk profile to a lender, especially for 0% or similar promotional...

That's a great deal. Kubota dealer wanted $5300 for the Gearmore. Looks liek teh direction I'll go once I recover from the tractor purchase itself. Cutting season is coming to a close out here in the next month or two, so I'll likely wait until winter.

Thanks! It's mostly stalky grass on a moderate grade with young blackberry here or there that I'd love to run over as well. Sounds like Y? If your friend is willing to sell, I'd love to know what they are asking. I don't get up there as much as I used to, but if the price is somewhere between...

Thank you. This was exactly what I was hoping to hear.

Hello all - When I bought my tractor, the dealer initially speced out a Gearmore SLE 160 as part of the package. Besides the fact it was over twice the cost as others on the market, the minimum horsepower required was 28, and I am assuming this number is at the PTO (mine is 19.5). Dealer told me...

I initially started looking at the L, but found the operator station a bit spartan, even with the newer L02 series. I have a different use case, but so far I am very happy with my LX2610. However, be aware that the specs for width are for the R1 tires, not the R4 or R14. I have the larger...

This story reminds me of why I watched so much YouTube before I bought my tractor. Most of my interactions with dealers started with "how much land do you have" instead of "what do you need to do". This completely ignores what you need to accomplish, how quickly you want to do it, and the scope...

Yep, but cash is for the house and land projects right now. Couldn't pass up free money from Kubota. (y)

Looks like the OP's issue is resolved, but for anyone else this may help, I chose not to have my insurance bundled with the financing. For one thing, if I decide to pay off early, I would still need to pay for insurance I will not use. Bundling $2500 in the loan sort of defeats the great rates...

Thanks all! Just having this thing around is a game changer. Besides the obvious dirt work I bought it for, there are tons of little things I used to do manually that I find myself grabbing the tractor for. Moving livestock panels, mucking, carrying tools, etc. Looking forward to both learning...

Oh boy. After 13 years on this little bit of land, I finally convinced the Ministry of Finance (wife) that the scope of our goals could only be reached with force multiplication, hydraulics, four wheel drive, and carefully chosen implements. For now, we just have a box blade since flail mowers...
