Ive never thought of them as anything other than a domestic Chinese level company. i’m sure they churn a profit. Wonder if the owner lives in a huge glass house on the lake?

“Code violation” is just a term. A lot of times there is a list on a final that the inspector wants done/changed. Not really a big deal in most cases and fixed fairly quickly as most are small issues. Can owing property taxes cause a co not to be given? Wasn’t that something that was said at the...

Man…so many small things with this tractor i have to fix. i’ll try to articulate this, but i have a 556 baler with 12 volt twine arms and i also have a sprayer for persavative, as well as a moisture meter. I was talking to the massey tech at dealer and we were talking about the 3 pin implement...

I went to my my dealer and got my sensor, dealer said he could print of their service instructions if I wanted but no need it pretty easy replacement. I asked if I could get the service book or have access to it and he said I could because of the right to repair thing. Should have found how much...

As a contractor who’s been in construction since 1990 and in biz since ’98, when I hear issues with contractor and I think unpaid prop tax, it sounds like money was a major issue and financing for the project may have been used elsewhere like payroll/bills. If I see an issue with money from the...

i did too. The EA in this size range was not much lighter and more expensive. It hasn’t blown up on me yet but I’ll start wearing a bomb suit when near it.

Well, thats not good imo. I dont want a wonkey 3pt. My hay mower conditioner is 3pt. Hopefully like others have said and I’ve experienced somewhat is the wonky will stop with draft off. I couldn't imagine the rage if i need to mow hay and this thing decides to poltergeist.

Did you not throw a code? Did the triangle flash wile it was happening? when a sensor throws a code the triangle will light up and the code will be at the bottom of screen. But the code goes away so you need to write it down or take a pic. the dealer can pull codes but we have no way to cycle...

Well my top link sensor is in, I’ll probably change it this weekend. wasn’t planning on plowing anymore til fall but i do have a 2 acre nook attached to one of my fields I think i can work up and plant alfalfa. That’s the only way i can test draft, which this sensor is responsible for.

We(I) eat a crap ton of mushrooms. My wife cooks with them, a lot buttons and portobellos but if she brings home a jar of like green giant mushrooms she wants to cook with for something she has to hide them. Right now is morel time here.

What kind of mushrooms? The big white buttons or portobello? Around here we have a company called Creech. They buy all the horse barn mucking and stockpile it. Its eventually baled and sent to mushroom growers.

So mushroom hay can be a field of weeds, or can be hay that had 2“ rain wile down as long as its dry?

The ability to sell “compost” hay to mushroom growers is probably extremely stress free and lucrative in terms of making hay.

Thats a cringy ea cultist post. Dead giveaway is he said he has a friend.

I got a kubota grapple which is a land pride. High quality.

They are, and seem unavoidable. I hope all manufacturers have as good as a sensor code system as Massey seems to have. It allows you to go straight to the sensor and most sensors seem mounted outside so very user friendly.

Wow you live in a for real mansion.

With a manure spreader?

This is interesting. I have depleted my hay fields because of high clay content and high magnesium content. last year i bushogged half of 2 fields instead of taking a last cut. I’m watching now to see if there is any difference.

Went to dealer and we decided it was the top link pressure pin(sensor). They ordered it will let me change it out and bring bad one in. Almost $500 dollar sensor. With draft knob turned off the tractor won’t communicate with bad sensor and throw code like it did yesterday wile not using the 3...

I wasn’t a facebook member but joined to try and join that group. Ac does work good and pretty sure we have the same unit. Yesterday at about 84f I was reading mid to low 30’s with the occasional 25f which is probably right before compressor is kicked off. This is with a Milwaukee ir temp gun...

Eddie did they get the ac leak fixed? My 5711 is dripping too. I think it’s the ac lines condensation inside the frame. I’m going to temporarily fix it with screws and rubber washers. Don’t want to permanently fix it til I know how much water there is. There is also a hole in the bottom of ac...

The draft knob was set and worked fine for about 4 hours of plowing, so not sure its the issue… but today i was discing and not using the 3 point at all. After a couple hours of that i got a fault code beeping. I was like crap, this junk is broke again. The code flashed was 08.1.32 which if I...

Not sure, but it was working good for hours. defiantly a fault of sort.

I think the 4700 have the same 3 point system the 5700 have, and mine is doing basically the same thing. Did you get this resolved? Mine started raising by itself and at one point i just sat there and it went up and down several times. i had been using it for hours and then its started, so its...

That might actually have worked and plowed.

You tried to get me to buy an older used tractor…

Plowed about 3 acres and then this started happening. The hitch would raise all on its own and sometimes just sit there and go up and down, wouldnt stay in set position, just a mess. Worked good for a wile. I called the tech at dealer and he basically said i just need to adjust knobs… well they...

You got me curious and looked up my massey fuel pump, bosch cb18. Deere runs cp4. My kubotas run what looks like kubota pumps. What other ag brands run cp4? Anything with a Cummins?

they were gonna have to anyways, the goverment would have made them. Curious how f’n bad you have to make a vehicle that burns up when the pressure pump implodes? Wtf did they do. Gm and ford pumps grenade and no flames. imagine the engineers that signed off on that fuel system design, what...

Again, ram burnt a few trucks up with the cp4, they were under investigation from the NHTSA when they “voluntarily” did a “recall”.

Rams junk, Chryslers whole model was to be the harbor freight of the big 3 and now the Italian company said hold my beer. I had a dodge pickup that fell apart.

Ram had a couple of fires and they jumped in before a recall could be issued. For whatever reason their setup had a fire potential. A difference in the different brands could be the filtering and supply like you said. i’m on at ford-truck and the other diesel truck forums and see these failures...

where did the ball bearing or what ever come from?

Its a joke.

Cordless Milwaukee fan.

I got 2 of these kubota loader ends from a dealer, 1 was perfect and the other was tweaked. Easy fix just cut the torque tube and reweld. I made an adapter for my mini-x to use ssqa attachments, didnt have a use for the other but had a pair of euro adapters and started to tack them on to try...

I’m confused. This feller your replying to here is asking how the cheap adapter is working, your comment seems to be about the quicke loader, then above you mentioned you tried the “Chinese one” and it didnt work out? Is the $250 adapter junk?

Their wicked root grapple for skid steers is $4550 for the 73(935lb)”, i lucked in to a landpride rg3068 for $3500, new. it weighs 931lb.

I’d get a 5711….joking.. I’m glad to see people buying tym and kioti. It will up their market share and dealer quality And get them to be a viable option in the future. The big 4 are starting to rape the us ag market.

I didn’t see that post just the one you quoted. And in that circumstance you’re correct! States and feds will get it and waste it. Makes paying taxes disgusting.

I dont see where that guys advised anything, and if he did its on OP or anyone else that acts on internet advice.

Yea, i just looked and NM is one that has a wierd tax setup. Gross receip tax… and our state does not really have a “mechanism” to collect use tax on tractors or atv’s or anything really except vehicles, UNLESS, you are buying equipment for business that you will be depreciating. That’s how...

A lot of out of state dealers dont charge sales tax, but your home state probably wants use tax, its what they call sales tax thats not collected from out of state sales. Like our dumb state wants its 6%…unless your paid at least 6% sales tax elsewhere. For example, if i buy a tractor and the...

i was going to buy a grapple from them, but was extremely hesitant of buying and waiting with no timeframe of delivery. Ended up with a heavy duty land pride. That’s how i got attached/subscribed to this thread, when i researched them a wile back. Now with the current info I’m interested in...

Well, to the point you made about them being bashed here which is not true, I would think twice under the circumstances to order a very expensive grapple, payment upfront, and wait. They are in business to make money, and unfortunately sometimes that doesn't happen.

There is an absolute learning curve. I remember being very frustrated back in 2007ish when i switched from flip to iPhone. But now you can uncomplicated your phone with settings if you need.

If only there was a small computer with a screen you could pack around with you… between my iPhone and i pad i have no computer. Matter of fact if you put me on a windows computer I’d be like 70 yo trying to navigate a smartphone. I started on windows back in the 90’s but ditched them years...

Smart phone folks? You mean non boomers? tip, iPhone photos are searchable. Open you photo app and type in a description of pic and it will pop up photos. Let’s say you took a photo of a frog. Just type frog in and all photos with frogs that you have come up. Also, you can edit pics and put a...

You could, with a modern 1 ton and a gooseneck legally haul a backhoe within manufacturers limits, but it’s going to be cdl territory. Most hotshotters are non-cdl. I could haul one within 150 miles of my farm legally, and I’m non-cdl. But i have no need. I plumb and pull a mini x and have to...

30/30 i usually use ammoseek to get a decent ideal on prices. I treat ammo like a commodity, buy low/stack deep. 30/30 ammo seek bulk

You have an m16? Wile i want an sbr i refuse to pay for permission of what is already OUR right. FATF.

Are they down on their luck? And who is stomping them? Discussing facts About a public company isn’t stomping them. If you’ve followed this thread you probably have all the facts there is. There is a lawsuit, thats pretty much it. Doesn’t mean EA is broke or in too much debt for the current...

Yes, their whole gimmick is to build very strong/hardox grapples for low hp homeowner tractors. Good business model cause those people will pay for “quality”..until the economic climate changes. Then your business model hurts a little, especially when investing to grow output when your market...

Well, the suggestion they are only building grapples now, if true, would hint of a cash strapped company choosing their max profit item.

Well, thats news to me. Is it just the m7, or the m6’s too?

Absolutely no reason not to load the trellborgs, it’s just personal preference. Packing a chunk of concrete around isn’t feasible for 99% of ag applications. The only reason not to load tires, radials, is you will 1-2% of the already 13% increase in footprint over bias. My tractor was delivered...

The emissions are covered already on a separate 5 year warranty. You wont gain anything with extended warranty. 4707 filter kit on ebay?

Eddie do you not have fluid in your rear tires? I know my tires are a little bigger on the 5711 but the fluid adds about 1800lb. I do have wheel wights(about 200 each side) but the tire ballast is key. On the loaders. The 900 series are really great loaders(alo-quicke built), the “upgraded”...

Well, it’s very nice. I was 10 when it was new. I dont know what i’d do with a tractor that small but i would like to have one…like that of coarse. not a typical 1981 clapped out tractor.

what year tractor is that?

Most retarded placement of something never used.

Wow, perfect username.

Overdue..lol cali, what a place huh. I recently did a horse barn(the plumbing part) for a couple retreating from cali, he and his husband had enough.. We talked about how he had to go class a for his horse trailer. Class A with restrictions isn’t it..anyways, he will fall under farm tags here...

i see it occasionally, its legal here. doesnt look fun, but none of my business. triple is the term for non commercial, doubles when commercial. At least thats the way i here it referred as.

Freedom. curious, are you a teamster?

Generally the laws regarding cdl is what is enforced by your licensing state. Towing triple is a private or recreational thing rv’ers do. It is legal here, but i dont want none of that.

No, I was only saying it smells like a truck in regen. Massey uses scr, not a dpf so there is no real regen. My understanding is the exhaust runs hotter than normal to keep emissions down. Now the def fluid could very well be the culprit. Sometimes my truck smells like the same smell. Just not...

Today was the first day i really used the tractor, other than feed hay. It has stunk pretty bad when i got it hot though. Today was pretty bad in the cab(to me), the burning smell was hardcore. It smells like a truck thats in regen. The paint is burnt off of headers pretty good, but the regen...

Well, you should get a check from them, you’ve probably sold some tractors. I like Kubota too, and kinda got priced out of getting an m6111. It was only about $7.5k more than my 5711, but my trade in was $5k more with Massey. That said, I would not be in the market for a Korean tractor..yet. I...

Dude, are you an employee of Tym? Your dedication is utterly impressive.

I would not go with harbor freight tractors if I was burnt by one. If you go that route and have no issues then good, you win. If you do have issues I would go mainstream with more of a dealer/manufacturer support. Could be your area just can’t support those tractors.

Get you some hay equipment. Take care of It. If you don't like haying sell it.

Yea, doesnt look good. EA should be able to continue with their normal output though, barring finacial situations that would keep them from being staffed up. Reducing low profit products and only producing the most profitable product would help, and I’m sure the whole factory cant be part of...

You don’t have to conform to tx dot laws, just your home states dot laws, Florida. Only Texans have to deal with that bs.

Kowtow…it’s the American way.

Yes, you follow the rules of your licensing (driver license) state. Which makes it easy on hotshotters from free states heading into overbearing states.

Let’s just regulate and legislate our lives into an oblivion. How confined do people need to be before they pop. I popped a long time ago. People need to realize that the sociopaths in suits that vote on this arbitrary stuff to confine us in the name of public safety are not worthy. Is there any...

And id like to raise the point again, in april 1992 when the cdl was requires and gvwr’s were assigned, the average pickup could only tow 10-12k and a 12k trailer weighed more than 3k. today safety and engineering advancements have made towing many times safer. The assigned weight limitations...

move to a free state?

Of all freedom loving states…texas is a 10k trailer state like cali. I think PA, NY are 2 others. One thing that makes hot shot driving a niche is that some states expand the §383.91 Commercial motor vehicle groups to include 10.1k trailers like Tx, and out of state hotshotters can swoop in...

No, that’s prop 69. Prop 65 means Cali thinks everything but sodomy causes cancer.

Yes. My truck is a 2022 f350, conventional towing is 20k, 5th wheel is 21700. Basically a wash cause goosenecks are usually 1000lb heavier. I’ve made it a hobby to skirt the cdl for the last 25 years. Fdot. Current truck is 11400 and trailer is 14k, but it’s aluminum and has a payload capacity...

lol, even the land pride(kubota) ha spear I got had loony prop sticker on it. Loony Cali is such a huge market it’s on everything.

No. Towing capacity is not enforceable unless you exceed it. The manufacturer says you can tow up to xxx, What your actually responsible for is you actual stickered gvwr’s you choose to take down the road. But what I think your alluding too is some LE’s are idiots and write stuff up to see what...

Cause your thinking is people will think the tow vehicle is a slow moving vehicle?

Illegal for commerce. And it’s 26k and 1 pound. 26k even is non cdl.

lol. No, you go by each vehicles gvwr sticker. Let’s not give the overbearing idiots any ideals.

Federal dot laws do not limit private gvwr. Some states do, like cali. cdl laws and flow charts…Yada Yada are for COMMERCE travel interstate and intrastate. Recreation and private use not governed.

Think you have to go to 2003 to get away from egr’s. You can block them off but the software is still looking for it.

Here OP, read this. https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/hours-service/elds/agricultural-exceptions-and-exemptions-fmcsa-safety and here is your registering states law, read (15), which means Michigan follows suit with federal laws...

COMMERCIAL…

Dude, he was in business, and his gvwr was well above the federal 26.1K. Your not in business.

That makes no sense, you follow the cdl laws of the state your registered in. Like cali with all their BS, hot shotters from other states can go in and get stuff with no cdl while residents there must comply with the 10k trailer thing.

I was starting to run into parts issue with my old massey. Like plastic cab parts, the plastic around the steering column was broke and when i tried to order it it came up as obsolete.

That dude was in business. You are not. CDL…”COMMERCIAL”. Are you commercial? Now some stupid states like cali address this with RV requirements. And yes, cdl are enforced by the gvwr on the vehicles/trailers, not the actual weight unless your overloaded. If you’re a biz and have a vehicle(s)...

Get rid of the knuckle buster.

Just traded my faithful 20yo massey on a 2024 Massey. Looked at other tractors, there’s something i liked in each one but at the end of the day i feel the most comfortable with massey. I thought massey was pretty popular..

It was a rollercoaster ride. Checked out a bunch. Ended up buying a massey 5711/12x12/941x loader. I could have got another 5711 there with the dyna tranny and an fl loader(non leveling) for $4k more but i did not want the dyna tranny or the cab suspension it had. I did want the fl loader. The...

Hydraulics work best at rated rpm’s. Somethings like ctl’s need at least 1/2 throttle because 1 pump supplies another and can starve it. Hence the whine at low rpm’s. I almost always ran my m59/m62 at 3/4 to full throttle. Same with my mini x’s. And yeah you smell fluid when you’re good and...

Ok, but it ain’t going to be advertised on a company website. Not a good look for business. Go look at facebook or social media at the comments. I have no idea about anything of them.

Why would you think they would post that on their website?

Exactly what I thought. Thanks. on edit.. it is a very heavy built looking loader compared to my m62 and old case 580. But longer and i guess the veer age is against it.

I’m in tractor buying mode. Really like the m6 but it’s crazy expensive. I may be up to getting rid of my svl75 on it. The svl‘s main use is grading and dirt work for my mx track. Nothing crazy but it is dirt work. The specs on the m6 loader looks good but how stout is it? 20 years ago i used my...

I had a kx040 but upgraded to the new u48. It’s 1600lb heavier so i needed a lighter trailer to stay under the dummies cdl weights. I got an aluminum sure trac 14k, with 12050 payload. No paint to fade, and pulls great, actually better than all my other trailers of the past. probably cause its...

110? Yeah that’s a good test.

Great, thanks. I can’t tell where your from on the mobile site, but how’s your summer and ac experience? I see the vents are just around the steering column.

Looking at a ps 120. How’s yours been so far?

In tractor buying mode. Looked at a powerstar 110. Really like cab layout, but the hvac vents are just around steering column. Do not like weak ac, heat usually takes less tech to warm a cab but to cool a tractor cab full of glass on a 90f day takes a good system. Curious about its ability...

Couple things.. full warranty starts at date of purchase. i drove down the road, not just on the lot, just like a car Test drive. All good, still has that intoxicating new car smell.

Is A tractor or THE tractor?

I have a post going in the Massey forum but thought I’d get opinions here where there are more eyes. Deeply discounted new old stock, like 1.5 or more years sitting at dealer. My only experience was buying an m59 that sat for 2 years back in 2010. That tractor lost both hydro pumps at 75 hr, one...

No for sure there is probably 6” of rot which is honestly a good bit of hay. But that’s about it, no bales below it. The shape does repel. Big ole flat bale would soak up I would think, then migrate in wards.

😆 Cummins are great as long as they don’t have that dodge wrapper. On the contrary, we need to get you into a brand new tractor. That intoxicating new rubber smell, plus you don’t have mouse pee ac blowing in your face. Well, for a wile at least, we all know farmed tractors eventually succumb...

😂 she was in the shower when I posted that… I didn’t take it anywhere, you said high moisture/weedy hay stays outside. Was just going off what you said and then that some producers buy and feed it. That would be not good. So good hay boxed in by cover hay…I get it. I could also imagine how bad...

Hey dude! lol, she wasn’t the greatest looker before she passed. At 2000 squares a year I just assumed you invested in cover. Thats like a quarter million a year in hay alone isn’t it? Tarps? I’d guard good sweet hay, it’s like gold.

Big business here with all the horse barns. Plenty of money to pay for pickup and then turn around, compost/bale it and sell. Money on top of money.

No, it’s bad hay imo or it would have been trucked to the barn. like you said it’s probably high moisture. I’d say it gets pretty dusty between squares outside unless you’re out west, just ain’t good water wickers. But yes, junk producers will feed it. “Look at that they cleaned it up”…yea, what...

Here we have a company around here that gets horse stall mucking and sells to mushroom growers.

Holy crap, you found a way to sell bad hay. That’s pretty good.

High moisture? Like didn’t dry out? Who is the customer for the moldy and weedy ones?

Do you store your bales outside?

Hate those.

Best thing is to choose your radius and start calling all dealers in that radius. Mine is about 100 mile. on edit, i see your in Chicago…probably a tough market.

If you buy used your whole plan is based on hope. There is no proof that there’s not a an issue waiting to pop out at you. you have 5000 hours of proof that the tractor was good for 5000 hours, not that it will be good in 5001 hours. Buying new does come with a parachute. Parachutes can save you...

Try not to be so optimistic my man!…heard that from somewhere..hmmm

How’s the ac in the texas heat? How many hours now?

youd be surprised at the lot rot in certain models. I know one kubota dealer with crates of small tractors faded pink. And by crates, i mean they are shipped in crates partially assembled. Kubota suffers from this with certain models. I always go snooping.

Well the why is easy. Its in a small town across the street from a Deere dealer and everybody bleeds green here. The 4710 is an odd duck as far as size and power, everybody goes straight for the 5711 or they go with the 4707. The 4709(2 sitting that are old stock) and 4710 are in between And...

Yup, it was addressed.

Reading through this thread but this may have been addressed..when starting a large gear driven pto attachment kick the pto on and as soon as it starts to rotate kick it off then back on. It’s a manual slow start. The pto wants to engage quicker than it can get the mower spinning. I have to do...

Man, the Nimco valve on my 4345 is crap, always was and it’s mostly due to that retarded dump thing you just described. Dumbest thing ever. Then the cable thing is crappy too. Over the last 20 years i have fought with it, talking to nimco and taking to hydro shops. It’s just a crap design To...

I had a m59 for about 5 years and a m62 for about 4, so plenty of run time on both as i used them for plumbing biz, digging deep sewers.. so as you moved the dipper away from you the boom went down? That does not sound like anything i experienced but i did not have a thumb. The thumb would...

lol, knees are great, jog every morning. Plus mx/enduro at 52. yea, not happy with the idling. Kind of a clown situation.. i still have feelers out to about 6 more dealers…but I’m a w*ore for a good deal! Probably the best part of equipment buying is the wheeling and dealing.

lol..most the guys that get them around here for grain cant either, especially the young guys trying to lease a lot of acreage. but there’s your future used equipment.

Argue? Is there a new vs old thing here? I think that the guys that like/need high hp almost have to buy used. The stuff is dumb expensive. I just dont like the headache of buying used…i like to make good used equipment. Like my 20 year old massey, it’s been highly maintained and only has 1650...

All kidding aside, the deal is great. Like $15-20k better than all the dealers I’ve been pricing with.. what is stopping me? The tractor is a 2021 according to the back plate. Brazil made. Went there Thursday dead battery 9.3 hours on the clock..went there yesterday and it sat there idling...

Why does everyone keep saying that??

Why would i get an older tractor than what i got? You got old ac equipment, rubber seals that are worn, wire sheathing getting brittle giving small parasitic draws, worn out pins…and someone else’s funk for 3-4000 hours. why do think its up for sale? Cause he wants to bless us with good used...

You you do 2000 big squares a year? I get the need for big equipment, I do 100-120 5x5’s. But I plumb about 75 houses a year.. lol so fitting in the 120 bales in between work and weather sucks.

I don’t, I buy highly discounted new. And that time is starting now. Next year will be good year for buying.

9.3 hr.

Until it breaks. A 556 baler and 4715 mower would look silly behind a 150hp tractor…lol Definitely don’t want that high of hours on newer equipment. Dang computer goes out and it’s $3-6k

Yes, my 2003 Massey I bought new in 2003 was like $45k. Trade in quote now for it is $30k. I guess it’s relative. Only 1600hr so that helps.

Was just quoted $72k for a 4710. Just looking around as I’m not familiar with the 4700’s. It has cab loader(MF931X SS AC Ldr w/ Fact LL0)… is there more than one option of loaders? One reason for discount is they’ve had it for over a year, got a couple of 4709 too about a year. Only one...

I was just quoted $72k on a 4710, cab/loader/3 remote/12speed. Been on lot for over a year. Another dealer quoted $75k. That one has air seat.

I finally saw a 2502 today after being involved in this thread. This is a small tractor. It did seem to have a pretty thick looking front axle. Incidentally, there was a used rk cab tractor with loader and backhoe at this kubota dealer. It was way away from everything else and looked rough, so I...

So, who is best? kioti, LS, or tym? Seems the tym really has diehard fans which means they must serve well and are so cheaply priced, does kioti need to cut costs to be competitive in s Korea? LS has a presence here too. Which Korean tractor is tops? I guess the best way to figure it out is to...

lol. I knew that would come into play…

Uno, I got a Massey. I was just informed we are pot heads. Roll it up!

Stoners…lol What’s the stereotype for case/new holland guys?

The fact that we’re in a kubota forum really deflates your post man. I don’t come here much but took a deep dive into forums after hernia surgery and was a little shocked at the op’s post, and curious. Are you saying kubota and Deere guys are in the tym and rk forums ragging on guys for buying a...

Oh my. Good luck with all that.

You like tym?

First off, why are we putting kubota in the same price category as Deere? My experience is Deere and cat are way more expensive than Kubota in my experience. And the only time I’ve ever been around tym is at rural king…It looks like there is only 7 dealers in ky. Not a good network.

Out of curiosity I reached out to 2 of my dealers I buy from, one is on vaca and he historically gives me the greatest deals. But, the other priced the l2505 with loader at 24500/gear and 26500/hydro. I am not familiar with these models at all by the way. Just got caught up in this thread.

Um, you’re based and I understand. If your good with tym good, but to say they are the same quality as Deere/kubota/massey is ridiculous. They are cheap for a reason…or do you believe they purposely make less profit?

For me it wasn’t height, it was tongue weight. I have a tongue scale and my machine needed to be more forward, making the boom/stick angle to close to my truck for my liking.

here’s my rubber I put my knuckle on. It’s about 3” thick.

because its not a deckover, an aluminum deckover would be nice too. But any deckover will weigh more and put me over the limit. I really haven’t seen any wear other than the bottom of the ramp legs, which I’m going to bolt on a couple pieces of oak for wear. But i have very thick piece of rubber...

It is. Its arbitrary weight limits set forth in 1992 after the teamsters lobbied legislators for commercial licensing to help further their stranglehold. Back then to pull 26k you had to have heavy truck/trailer. Now, with engineering and modern truck/trailers 26k is no isuue. luckily my state...

I have luck, but i am quick to tell someone to gent bent.

I’d Craigslist it.

Well, I don’t like it. I want my steel deck over back. But, it pulls like a dream. I have pulled my 11600lb excavator a lot and there has been no issues. Brakes are great, even though there is on 2” on each side of my tracks between the fenders it’s easy to load. Again it pull greats, smooth, no...

I’m not buying a tym, same reason I don’t buy harbor freight tools(that I plan to keep). I realize tym is above China standards, but don’t fool yourself, there is a reason tym’s are cheap.

lol what? I know your just trolling….

I’m talking trucks, excavators, and track loaders. i’d rip that crap out. Tractorwise when i get another it will be 114hp kubota.

lol. I hear ya. Tym/rrk dont make a machine in my wheelhouse.

illegal? No care. I would absolutely pull all my emissions if it were that simple. FEPA.

Hold on, what do mean remove dpf because no electronics? Very curious. How is there no tethered electronics to the dpf? How would it regen… is this an engine through pressure and heat that does not require a dpf like the masseys and jcb’s use. I think mahindra does to.

Oh, that’s like $200.

Not so sure we’re dealing with kubota as much as we are stupid dealer, or maybe their pool of customers in that area are stupid and well off. Over pay for equipment it’s on you. Either fight for the premium equipment or settle for the cheaper brands.

Makes sense.

I know lots of farmers running Kubota tractors commercially. I know sod guys who run smaller kubota tractors. Good stuff. I will eventually get an m6 myself. If you dislike Kubota why torture yourself by hanging out in the kubota forum?

No they’re obviously 2 different tractor ranges. It’s like comparing a kx033 to kx057. But it’s also akin to comparing a sany to a kubota.

I could have saved a bunch of money buying a sany instead of my u48-5.

paint? Kubota is a proven commercial grade equipment maker, construction or ag. Ag is commercial. Not sure I would rely on tym/rrk for business purposes…hence consumer grade, and priced.

I would not run away from a tym, but it is a consumer range tractor Imo. As far as people paying msrp, sure, probably happens and thats on them. I always get a deep discount on my kubotas. Msrp on my u48-5 was like $87k, i paid $70500.

That’s bad. Did i understand that dude right, he left his trailer 30 miles south of cinci and drove about 4 hours to Columbus and then back to pick up his trailer? He passed 100’s of places to get a temp hitch. Plus i wouldnt be using bull dog again.

Looks like this thread has evolved, but OP, credit scores fluctuate. I have a thread on another forum because i was at 850 for a few weeks. Has since dropped top 843, the 845. It makes no sense. The weird thing is the credit bureaus know what you owe, but not what you make.

I use a 20’ sure track aluminum trailer to pull my 11600# excavator. 14k with 12055# payload. Only thing out there to keep me in the black. Pulls great.

And it started right up. 5 pulse and it it was going. Been sitting years, like 8. I did dump what was in it. Cleaned it up and put new spark plug, filter, and chain. The saw i use most is a ms180 my wife bought me years ago. It’s small and light and i only use it to clear fences after a storm...

We went and looked at mowers. the kubota i think I’m interested in is the z781. Non ion stock. Looked at a gravely, a spartan, cub cadet, and then an ex mark. All aroun 10500-14000. imo do see a lot of exmarks used by lawn care companies, are they that good. oh also looked at a Deere with...

Problem with hydrogen vehicles is you cant roll coal.

It’s an old bobcat zt219, 52” cut with a 19hp Kwai. I’ll probably go with a kubota, not set in stone and suggestions welcome, but what can I expect from a newer 24hp 60”? We mow about an acre but we’re both busy and just want to get it done. The current mower doesn’t like when grass is tall. It...

Little update after i used for a bit. It pulls great. Easy to load even though i only have a couple inches on each side of clearance between fenders. No issue. Now for what i just figured out and am pi@@ed about. For the longest time i could figure out why the tongue looked like it was running...

Probably one of the best tools I’ve ever bought is the mini ex. A ctl complements them well. I use mine for my plumbing biz but its asset to have on the farm.

I usually go by location listed. Otherwise i guess i could be in Pa?

You in Uk?

Well, I’m starting to rethink filter cleaning so often. I always assumed the filter minder was “uh oh, you messed up and got to dirty” kinda monitor. But dang, a filter on a ctl or skid steer can get sooo caked with dust. FYI, i bought all new filters for my 2 kubotas today-$175..reason being...

I was just reading articles(I’m also posting same stuff on another site) that said just that. The dirt aids in filtration. I know one thing, if you hit the outside of the filter at all, dust will blow through the filter coming out the inside. That ain’t good. Oh, and has anyone seen the inner...

The only time i have ever had a filter minder show any kind of resistance on a diesel was on a ford 6.7 where i was following a rig in the worst rain I’ve eve been in and sucked a little mist.

I dont…is that the little rubber flapper?

Uno, on the u48 the inner filter is just a thin metal screen. I had never pulled it and was shocked. Most inners are a thick fabric. This thing is a joke. Look at it, it doesnt seem like any kind of life saver.

So my thread on kubota filter design didnt go over too good. But, doing deep dive in filtration led to some articles, how often to clean. Too much cleaning vs letting filter clog some so the filter minder shows restriction(dirt buildup adds to filtration). I have 3 kubotas minus the hay...

I just always load forward, i like the exhaust pipe in back if possible. No reason really. But this is what i have to set tongue weight. I load a piece of equipment and then jack it up and replace the ball mount with an empty flat one and set this on it and lower the trailer. I can then, very...

Anyways the filter in question is RD158-42270. Apparently it’s a shared part with my former machine the kx040. Didn’t dawn on me back then I guess.

In post #11 I said I’m sure it’s designed for it. That’s a given. But really, why “waste brain cells” on this thread. It’s not worth it. I can hear them popping as I type.

Which could be, some filters have fins at the bottom.
