    Thoughts on Pricing - Selling my L3901

    Thank you Joe Biden! Nice to see families getting a tax break vs. industry and wealthy individuals which was more typical with the past administration. Farm tax exception, reduced tax for child credit, etc....all good. In Alaska we have become accustomed to seeing Big Oil get the tax credits.

    Scraper vs box blade

    “Scraper“can mean different things to different people. Some manufacturers make a scarifierless box blade they call a scraper that is used for cleaning paddocks. Dirt scrapers can be pull types that are designed exclusively for moving soil. Rear articulating blades similar to how a motor...

    L3130 1000 hour mark

    Same here. I think you made a good choice going with the R4s. I went with the ags and have wished for the R4s. The front ags on the 3130 are so narrow they’re prone to pealing off the rim on soft ground when turning and don’t offer much flotation for loader work either.

    M5-111

    Obviously thinking about safety

    Came across this photo during a google search. This guy is obviously safety conscience or at least looking to prevent damage with his machine by placing a piece of plywood under his backhoe bucket to protect his concrete slab.

    Thinking about leaving Kubota

    My Kubota has been flawless over the years and I'm ready for a larger tractor. As far as I know, there is only one Kubota dealer (owns two dealerships) within about 1000 mile radius of me. He won't sell below MSRP. He openly said he denied warranty service to an individual who purchased a skid...

    Boomer 30 Shuttle Problem

    The tractor runs, but will not move. Shuttle lever moves freely but does not engage forward or reverse gears. Any suggestions where to start trouble shooting? Thank you.

    L8560 Tire Options

    Does anyone know why Kubota does not offer this tire/rim option in the US? This photo is from Kubota Canada Website. The fronts look like more of an industrial tire in a size not offered in the US. Local dealer inquiry was not helpful. ***Edit*** That should read M8560 tire option
