    Backhoe  B3030 BH75 Backhoe Drops (slowly) with engine off?

    Wondering if this is normal or if I have a hydraulic leak somewhere.. I have a tight spot where I park by B3030 with FEL and BH75 so I have to park it with the BH boom up (bucket is down and curled but not on the ground). After its parked if I come backa few hours later, the boom has lowered...

    Fixed vs Folding ROPS height?

    My new B3030 with folding ROPS is about 1/2" too tall to get into my shed without folding the ROPS down... I thought I saw the fixed ROPS at the dealer with slightly shorter... is this the case? If so I might have to switch.. folding the ROPS every time is a PiTA.

    Mowing  OK how do I lower the MMM mower deck??? :(

    Just learning the machine and have read both manuals 3X. Wondering if something was installed wrong as I can't get it to raise/lower. The rear PTO's don't appear to be attached to anything -- isnt that what is used for raised and lowering the MMM? Or is there something else? I am stumped...

    My new B3030 hath arrived!! (pics)

    Raining today so unfortunately can't go play. Bought it from mark@stateequipment.com in WV -- highly recommended. Very responsive, excellent price, very honest dealer. I live 5+ hrs away and they just delivered it along with several pieces of equipment for it. Very happy. Enjoy the pics!

    Backhoe  Filled tires or backhoe as FEL counterbalance?

    I am buying a new Kubota B7800 shortly and was planning to get the tires filled, but was searching and saw a post from someone saying they didn't need to get their tires filled because their BH was a good counterbalance to the FEL. I would like to keep my tractor as light as possible for yard...

    I'm about to seal the deal on a new Kubota from State Equipment (http://www.stateequipment.com/), and just want to see if anyone has had any positive/negative experiences with them.

    Dealer  Service from dealer you didn't buy from?

    Service from dealer you didn\'t buy from? I'm correct in assuming that if I have a Kubota, I can take it to any dealer to be serviced under warranty, correct? Not just the selling dealer? I ask because I am looking to buy out of state as the price is significantly less. I called one of the...

    Tractor Sizing  What size Kubota is the largest for yard mowing?

    I've kinda (sorta, well, uh, uhm) settled on the B7800HSD, but, before I decide... ...what is the largest Kubota that would be usable for yard (not fancy lawn) mowing, without being so heavy as to mark up the yard too much? The B7800 weighs 1741lbs. The B3030 weighs 1852lbs. Jumping to the L...

    Which Kubota is for me? Mowing, moving dirt, etc

    I'm pretty sure I've settled on Kubota as the brand but haven't been able to settle on a model so thought I'd ask here. I've done many searches and every 10 minutes I decide on something else. So here's what I plan to use the tractor for: 1. We have 10 acres, some slight slopes but nothing...

    Replacing my old Scag -- another ZTR or a Tractor?

    I'm ready to replace my old Scag 3-wheeler. We have about 5 acres of lawn to mow, mostly wide open, some trees and paths to mow near. I was thinking of getting a used or Demo Turf Tiger or Wildcat, but then the thought came to me to maybe get a tractor with a pull-behind finish mower. I did...
