The case will be converted to a Chap. 7

Here it’s about 15% under MSRP and traditionally cheapest in the country

the company has not filed BK

Does not apply to tractors

We always get. Substantial discount for cash you have to push for it

A tractor is a tool. Our BRK-B is an investment

4802 is not a new model it’s just an upgrade of the 4901 orphan model. I would never buy a Mahindra too unreliable

Just get the MX6000 turbo. The 2501 is not very heavy and that makes it very limited

Better to just rent. Nothing cheap in that weight class

We just bush hog it, in a season or two grasses crowd all the woody out

We use RM43 on all of the fence lines. So no mowing needed

No asbestos in them

Mahindra is known for mysterious problems difficult to figure out

More like subtract 30%

Mahindra is poor quality you don’t want to have your reputation tied to that

Sounds like it never got off the ground as a business

M7060

Municipal workers are very hard on equipment

EA sells a metal replacement cover. All Brown cutters come with an easily removed cover

For dirt work, hire or rent a CTL

We had many brands of bush hog cutters and replaced all of them with Brown cutters- we have 4 of them . 415, 416, 672hd-d 2 of them, best you can buy. We use a skid steer with a drum mulcher for anything over 3”

7 foot is an odd awkward size, go 6 foot or 8 foot dual

always buy the maximum horsepower in any given frame size unless your budget needs a lower price point.

Insurance should cover that

Sounds normal

Go with an 8 foot twin blade cutter. 7 foot is an awkward size https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/single-or-dual-tail-wheel.142747/

Buy the better dealer

New gearbox is cheap

Clearing saplings with a rotary cutter is a lot of work and tears up your equipment. I would hire someone with a drum mulcher to clear that then you can keep it clear

Brown 415

Sounds like the backpack sprayer needs seals kit- it’s a 5 minute repair We use RM43 and it kills everything for a year

3 Kubota within 20 miles

Skid steer depot. They sell a lot of them here

Add a slip clutch

Our criteria for acquiring any investment asset is a minimum 20% ROI on a 3 year hold after capital gain taxes (estimated at 34%) and carry costs. No piece of depreciating equipment or tractor will ever meet that. For example, The BRKA we bought starting in 1974 and dollar cost averaged each...

No need to, Jeff explained it above

It’s not an investment

Just buy a new part

Deep Creep, Kroil, PB

A dealer near us just dropped Mahindra and picked up TYM/Branson. Lower price is the only reason anyone here considers them

Few people here have cabs. Too wooded

Try $500 each take less

Kubota unless you can only afford the second tier

They will all be electric soon

Brown is the best you can buy.we have 4 of them

We live in Alabama and have never had A/C, it’s just something we are used to. Cold weather is much more uncomfortable

That 35 is worth about $1500. I would look for a Ford 3000 and up

Brown 415 would be just what you need,. $4600 with chains

Where would one buy them? The nearest dealer looks to be 300 miles away. Probably 8 major dealers with in 25 miles

We only self insure up to $5000

Having had every brand of cutter, we only use Brown cutters. They are expensive. I don’t think they make a batwing

We hired a contractor with a 75 hp bobcat and a Cimaf 150d mulcher for 5 days (40 hours) at $200 an hour, for a variety of trails, fields and glens on an old pasture parcel. Best money we ever spent

We have 3 Kubota dealers within a 35 mile radius so it is an easy choice for us

Too much trouble to do all that, just bit more power stock

Dirt Dog

Always get highest hp in frame size

Prices to list are very high

Mahindra is notoriously hard to keep running, probably last in desirability

Not going to happen

The dealer has probably never sold one of those models

You want 9 gauge or heavier

Sun F are great tires

Some franchise agreements prohibit online pricing

Here Brown is the king of the cutters, followed by Lowery them Bush Hog

Kubota dealers here use water with some methanol in it, no tubes. Cheap, non corrosive and the tire shops like it

Slip a piece of fuel hose over it and it’s less sensitive

It’s in every new Brown cutter gearbox

Run it wide open

Attachments, not implements

Cotton Picker Spindle Grease 00

Mulcher can do maybe 2-3 acres a day so 300 acres is easily months of work

We tie all of the Lynch pins with baling wire and have never lost one

Kubota’s “Route 66” strategy is to have fewer and larger dealers

Self insure for such a low value

Every time we used a tractor to do land clearing it breaks a hydraulic pipe underneath. Just not the right tool

We only use Chase Bank, the most secure in the world

Tractors are not land clearing machines. Mulcher or dozer. Dozer cheaper but erosion issues

We pay quarterly in advance, totals low six figures each year. It’s painful when half of all adults pay nothing. I’m providing a lot of folks free stuff and welfare

Yes

$200 psf and up

You will be fine but will know the mower is there

They are all cheaper than that out the door here in N Alabama

But that 4% is taxed as ordinary income

We always get a lower price paying cash, usually making the 0% keep your money invested a wash

$800

2 weeks is nothing, what’s the big rush?

We run 30 f 22 r

Yes just pay them off at sale

He has made our family insane amounts of money just by buying and holding BRK shares over the years. My BRK A has made far more than I could have on my own

Price sounds high. You can get a Brown 416 for not much more and it’s 1000 times better

No Federal sales tax so it’s just state taxes you are trying to avoid. Time to pay your fair share

Still plenty of people with money to spend so it’s going to take 2 years to cycle

Usually a bad ground

I would rent equipment as needed

It’s going to be a bumpy economic 18 months starting in the 2nd Q

Kawasaki Mule. Far more useful than the truck

Yet used car prices are rising again

We use Colby Valves

It’s a great time to buy land, we just bought 2 parcels that “would never be for sale”

Yes it broke right away at one end. This is a very common user error

All of these just reflect the limited budget. Spending just slightly more would have eliminated all of these compromises

Bend it back but the cross tube will soon break and need to be replaced with a solid bar

This conversion is never going to happen

Facebook marketplace

Pass on the orphan model

We replace them after 8 years so it’s already old

We avoid using the tractor when the ground is wet and soft

I would put brakes on the other axle for sure

Crazy talk

These off brands have no dealers near us, and I don’t mind spending more for the top brand since I get all that back and probably more on a resale

We always buy new because of KTAC and we replace tractors after 7 years with new ones. It’s the best overall for us to not have to deal with repairs on older units

It looks light duty so 1” brush max

Gas tractors are not coming back, obviously.

Glad all it needed was a hose replaced

Should work fine

The seller of any Mahindra is delighted to be unloading it and getting a better brand

Forget any older Mahindra. That seller is desperate to unload it

The guy in the cow horns helmet was so scary I thought he would end up being POTUS

With most Mahindra threads, after a year It’s probably been sold and replaced by a better brand after a myriad of mysterious issues

Always get heavy duty everything

Always tons of this model for sale low hours used

All Brown cutters come with the metal box shields

Blade carrier is a separate part

I would get the MX6000 for $20000 less

Correct part name is dishpan

We got the big cash discount and didn’t have to pretend to have a horse

Always get permits in advance is the key takeaway here

Carlisle Trac Chief is best

Costs of production have increased but profit margin is the same

Using it without clutch will break it internally

Cylinders bent need rebuilt

Grinder while on the tractor, although most folks never sharpen bush hog blades

We are holding a lot of cash to buy more land once some of these owners get in a position they need to sell

Brown 416 or 672

We have had all of the top brands but now only use Brown rotary cutters

You will need to get into the $4,000 range for a heavier cutter

Get a Brown cutter. You won’t be able to dent a Brown 416 like that. If you had a more powerful tractor a Brown 672 would be a dream cutter but it’s $7500

Get a CTL

Needs new battery

Double disc

The problem is the attachment, not the tractor side

Brown 416. The best you can buy. Not cheap, with chains probably $4000

It’s not the trailer if it does the same thing on a different trailer

It’s hard to get anyone to do anything now.

A land plane is the ideal tool for maintaining gravel drives

Not worth much, might be able to avoid paying to have it hauled off

Deleted

1260 comes QH compatible so it will hook right up

Probably $800 a year in fuel and maintenance stuff for each x 3, plus KTAC

Ford 3000 for the same money is a top vintage model

All tractors will be electric only, it’s just a question of when

It’s going to be 540

Get a zero turn too

Bush Hog sells all the parts for that model just call them they are in Selma Al or use the online parts lookup

There are no Chinese tractors anywhere around here

Bale spear is bent

Our dealer sells almost no 3301 models it’s just a price point model no other reason for it

Isn’t there a recall on them?

Our experience is the front tires often leak at the rim so we tube all of them. Nails aren’t an issue for us

US HQ is within 30 miles of one of our farms but only 1 dealer within 150 miles

Rear should be only an inch higher

Too high for 30 year old iron

Add a slip clutch. 1272 is Avery light duty entry level model that does not have a slip clutch standard like all the other better LO cutters

I never see anyone around here using a cab tractor

We use the Land Pride QH15 it’s easy to use and has none of these issues the cheap ones have

Looks like the economy is getting better just in time for the elections

Looks flimsy the QH16 is much better and has none of those issues

I would replace them both and tube them.

We have bought from them and had good experiences. They have a brick and mortar store near Huntsville AL

Each will run a light duty 5 foot cutting grass

Brown is the best you can buy, everyone knows that

No sales tax IN ALABAMA on out of state purchaser. Read more closely next time.

With such a minimal price difference the Kubota is the obvious choice

Good condition cutters sell fast so move on them right away

No sales tax on out of state buyer here

Everyone we know that bought a 2501 realized immediately it’s woefully underpowered and sold them. That’s why it’s by far the most common mow hour used tractor on the market by a huge number

Get a Dirt Dog it’s all replaceable

Use a weed eater

Some day you will have to

Why would one buy such an off brand?

Hope they are very inexpensive~ no other reason to even consider it

Tandem axle is a must

Probably not designed to fit the less common brands of tractors

We just replaced all of our cutters with Browns. They will outlast all of us

We use the 1/3 overlap at full extension method

Brown 415. You will never buy another 5 foot cutter. Usually require a 20 week wait time although we just bought another one AgPro had in stock in their system. With chains $4200

Cotton picker spindle grease is all we use

You must not own a Brown product.

Get a Brown 415 it’s the heaviest duty that size tractor can run. With chains it’s around $4200 plus tax. Side by side with a RCR 1860 there is little comparison

Did you get the Brown 672?

Glad you had KTAC insurance to cover that. We use a big Mr Funnel to strain water out when filling the tractors

1099 is fine we report everything . No income tax on sale of a capital asset at less than basis

Just replace the gearbox

We just sold a tractor. They paid us on Venmo then came and picked it up. We gave a bill of sale

UCC will show if there is a lien on specific units

1 11/16” is the standard size for blade nuts on the light to medium duty models

Get a Brown 417. Runs about $5600 but best you can buy

It’s plenty old but they sell parts for it
