Your trainees did better than mine!

I can vouch for the Kawasaki. Tough as nails, survived 4 grandkids learning drive, bounced off of too many trees, buried in the mud/sand, hauls firewood stacked to the top, nothing but yearly oil changes. 15 years and still reliable.

Kawasaki Mule is tough. We have a 2004 and it has survived 3 teenage grandkids. It shows it too. Nothing but brakes and tires, with regular maint. It tows, hauls and goes most anywhere. Tough critter, and a lot cheaper than most.

Don't order the inexpensive ones on Amazon. Tried that last year and it was a failure. Peas and beans.

oil it up and smack it hammer. Have had several of those and usually have to smack them all.

I agree, deterrence is good. Best is a BFD or 2.

One way trip?

Maybe fill in with black RTV and smooth it out best you can. I know, it's a redneck thing. Tape will get loose and stick to your britches.

You'll find everybody has the best one out there. I've had very good service from Gravely. First one lasted 14 years, and traded it to a friend. Current one 4 years, no problems at all. Ex Mark comes highly recommended, but the Gravely was less $$. I cur 6 acres with lots of trees in 2 hours.

Looking at a L4701 , the 4wd lever doesn't want to engage/disengage without a mighty struggle. Is there a trick or is this one bad? Thanks

I've seen mentioned on this site several times that parts and service from Deere is not as easy to get compared to Kubota and Mahindra. I'm looking around and see more JD used for sale than the other 2 brands. 38-45 hp units. I guess my question is are after market parts easily available for...

Looking to buy a used Kubota or whatever comes up in my price range. I see a bunch with up to 900 hours on them. Considering I'll use it clip around 10 acres once a month, maybe disc a garden, and scrape the road . I have a 1974 Ford 3000 that I'm tired of patching, no idea how many hours it...

The bucket on my ford 7700 loader has rotted away. Suggestions on locating a replacement close to central MS? Thanks,
