    Kubota ZD-1211-72 first impressions

    So the cost isn't necessarily because Ferris likes their stuff more than 'Bota, it's because they're saddled with regulations from the federal government because they aren't playing the 24.8hp game...the Ferris is a full 48hp Cat engine and therefore running a dpf and maybe more. Thanks federal...

    I'd test run a ferris before I'd buy another mower of any type. Ferris is the perfect mower imo.

    lock n lube vs power lube

    I have a Kubota mx and a Ferris lawn mower and there is no recess my lnl can't reach. I use one at work too. Never a problem. Some of y'all must have some small equipment.

    lock n lube vs power lube

    The internet shows power lube is a spray on product from crc. Not sure wtf you are comparing to lock n lube for.

    Where do I get a 55gallon drum of udt2?

    Kubota recommends 400hrs. I might just buy two 5 gallons at a time. I thought years ago people had found sources for $5-600 a drum.

    Where do I get a 55gallon drum of udt2?

    It seems like people had a source for these back years ago when I joined. I need to replace my fluid. I'm a few hours past the recommended swap range on my MX5200.

    Kubota ZD-1211-72 first impressions

    My in-laws just bought this same one. I have only sat on it so far, started it....I was shocked at how short the seating platform is. My legs are cramped terribly. My Ferris 52" IS800 has way more leg room. It ain't for tall guys I guess. The diesel engine sounds just like the one on their...

    Buying Advice on Hydraulic links

    I ordered my top link from agrisupplyusa and my side link is a Kubota unit. I've been happy with both for several years now. Be careful when using your cylinders, as mine allowed my ripper shanks to contact my tire and tear a lug. The tilt function will also cause wallowing of the holes in your...

    Grapple ideas and how are these companies?

    Torvy is right. It's a trade off. My sgc 1072 is 450lbs and 6' wide and perfect for gathering brush and sticks and will pick up more tree than my loader will handle. I love it.

    Kubota L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The Tractor, The Comparison, The Modification, The Results

    I had always assumed it would take an ecu flash but this thread ( i haven't fully finished reading it yet) made me wonder if not just adding a larger turbo could get me there. This thread has got me thinking a little anyways.

    I may do something like this on my mx5200 to get more uphill horsepower out of it
