What difference does it make that I commented on his location?
None that I can ascertain. Having said that, he or maybe she has not commented on their original complaint or the remedy, at all. I'm thinking that maybe the selling dealer told them to fock off.
If it was me, I would and I'm patently curious as to why anyone in the concentrated urban area that NYC is, would want with a large frame Kubota (especially a used one with a questionable history in the first place). Having been to NYC numerous times in the past, I don't see where a tractor that size would be of any practical use, in fact not even a lawn tractor would be of any use. Maybe a push mower might but even that is overkill as most urban inhabitants of NYC don't even know what grass is.
Maybe he or she lives on Long Island or upstate New York where they actually have grass and limited land but in urban NYC, no way. All concrete and asphalt and garbage strewn everywhere and people that don't know anything exists other than the 4 block area they live in and honestly don't care either. Been there many, many times and candidly, I don't ever need to go back. Have a pretty good friend that lives in rent controlled housing off 34th street and drives a concrete mixer truck. He's not fond of it either but his wife is a native New York city rat so he tolerates it. Love must be blind for some folks.
If you ever go there and venture off the main drag (Broadway or Times Square), take a good look at the cars, especially the trunk lids. You'll soon realize that most have no trunk locks. Because the first thing thieves do is punch out the trunk lock to see if there is anything of value inside that they can steal. Besides high rents and the rampant crime, parking a private vehicle in the city is a costly undertaking. Private parking spaces are at a premium price, often times even more that the over the top rents. A rental Not rent controlled flat in the city can start at 5 grand a month for a studio apartment.
