It's a sickness, but it can be justified?

I need to do this, every homeowner should have one, it's the reason I sold the R7...and it holds it's value in the long term. It's Orange

I have a good guess what it really is, but I'm still gonna say it's a 2007 GSXR 1000 orange & he finally got of his Yami addiction

It will pay for itself the first major project you do and will continue to impress you everytime you use it.

my folks got one about 5 years ago and it has since saved us thousands upon thousands of green on the projects we did ourselves.

be sure and buy extra pins for the back hoe and attachments, cotterpins fall off all the time, and buy extra grease fittings.

We have an old school one of these, the thing is great, does our snow in the winter and we can put the brush hog on the back, and post hole digger on in the summer. Every house, farm, should def have one!

Nice Mark!

You won't be disappointed, Kubota makes a nice machine.

Be careful though, vacations disappear pretty quickly with a tractor around. I spent all last week spreading/grading/seeding 60 yards of loam with mine.

Tell me about it, I already hate leaving to go anywhere The good thing though, it should make quick work of the projects I have planned and create more free time?

A couple things I found out today...
The thumb is mechanical, not hydrolic...not a big deal I guess
0% financing for the full amount (website says 0% up to $5k)

Jim, I keep resale in mind when i purchase something and a immitation tractor (kioti) doesn't have it!! John Deere and Kubota are the only brands I'd considder, and I feel the quality and resale value are worth spending the extra for

me too when i was looking i was happy with everything i saw with the resale of the kioti. the used ones were selling for a little less than the new ones.

it's not a immitation brand, they make a very good tractor for a great price.

i have a kubota and a kioti i like both for what the are.

when i got the kioti i got what i figured would be twice as big as anything i'd ever need. i wish i got something a little bigger.

the thumb is a great additon and with a little work can be made hydraulic.

Re: It's a sickness, but it can be justified?

We've been looking into tractors too. It's fuckin' amazing how many opinions you get per manufacturer. Some swear at 'em, some swear by 'em. It's mind boggling how much opinions differ on certain makes/models...

I wouldn't even post here which one we're considering...

Keep in mind Case/IH. A little more "pro" level than Kubota and the price shows it, but there is no replacement for a big fuckin diesel engine

Kubota 100%

the only repairs we have made in 7 years is hydraulic lines from me doing more work with it than it was designed for.

If your interested we have a grader attachment that we do not use. it came with the tractor, but its just sitting around.
