Oil & Fuel when I get this thing turned upright

[grsthegreat]

I dunno...comparing it to the size of the leaves on the bush makes it look real (remember, some of those really old Kubotas (like the L175, which is what I think it is) were pretty small..

if you look at the front axel, its rotated like a real tractor would..not like a model. its probably real. the OP is in hiding from embarrassment hehe

hope mine never looks like that

The size of the vegetation in the foreground gives it away. This would have been good for April Fools Day. I imagine the OP is grinning with all our ponderings.
Good for him. Keeps things from getting too stale. :laughing:

na...its a real tractor driven by hampsters.....ive seen it before...those hampsters just cant steer worth a darn

Vegetion doesnt give anything away, ever heard of something called depth of field? Who knows but I put 20 down that its real, its just a small grey market 70's80's ride on. Its detailed, the axle movement is correct, and it looks to be a yellow pull strap wrapped around the hitch area. The vegetation rearward could be large bramble or such. You can see the weeds shiny side where they were knocked during the roll, still kinda fishy on a first post with no response. Who knows.

Looking at the 3ph and the strap wrapped around it it looks real to me. Take another look at it.

Thanks for the advice. Took me a little time with the come a long to get the machine back on 4 wheels but finally did. I cleared the cylinders and refilled the fluids...started right up. Amazing. Drove it out. For those that thought it was trick photography..... I wish....the part that I left out was that I was trying to push my little mower (tg 1860) and they both ended down there. At least the little one stayed on 4 wheels and stopped part way down. Anyway looks like the damage was a dent on the hood and I will need a new steering wheel.

Re:nickname...I was going to keep my identity from one of my kubota buddies but our wives were talking before the tires stopped spinning.

Nope, never heard of such a thing. It's apparent to me those are thistles in the foreground and unless this guy lives in the land of giant thistles he's pulling our collective leg.
And I will take your 20 until this is settled. Then I'll probably just keep it either way.

Got too close to the edge today..always knew it would happen. Does anyone know what I should do before I attempt to start it again?

Yup, pick it up, dust it off, put it in your pocket and take it back to the sandbox you got it from. There is most likely a sad child wondering who took his toy tractor.

When reading the post close to when this thread started my first impression was that it was fake. But I took a closer look and thought "no..it's real". Then the discussion got going and I was convinced it was fake again--until asenix2001's post. He made good points about the wheel details and I thought the vertical black thing (turned out to be a hydraulic control) made it look real again. Either that, or it was a great fake and the poster should seriously consider applying for jobs in movie special effects.

Anyhow, it was entertaining and I'm glad it worked out fine. Looks like a tough little tractor similar to my previous L245 DT.

Glad to hear the tractor is running again. Also glad to hear that you didn't get hurt.

I was also one of the ones that thought it was a toy tractor.

And as you can see by the last few posts that have been made, your name change has really confused some on here.
