Kubota B7300
Newest of the tractor family. A new (used w/less than 200hrs) B7300 has proven herself this winter by keeping the 1700' of stone driveway clear of snow and well graded (a task formerly done with the DC). She takes her place with a 1950 Case DC, 1951 Case SC, 1956 David Bradley, 1977 Sears and a 1989 Troy-Bilt (do those last two count ?!?) OH-MY-GOSH ! looking at the pics now I see we got the tires dirty! Pic of DB to follow.

Steve -

Congratulations, Steve! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

That's a fine-looking young feller ya got there. I like the wagon he's pulling, too.

I look forward to more pictures. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I'll second Harv's accolades! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I'd also like to hear about where you got that trailer! It looks real handy. Is that a home-built, or did you pick it somewhere special?

The Trailer, if I remember right, came from Northern (10 or 15 years ago) Hydraulics. I believe it was around 300 lbs shipping weight and was in many, many, (and I say again) many pieces. Seems like it took days to assemble. Sold for around $250. I remember putting it together (it was a verrry cold day and my fingers kept getting numb.) I bought it to use with the Troy-Bilt, but was a little too much trailer. Ended up using it mostly with the Case to haul firewood, and with the Troy-Bilt for leaves. It is not the folding type, but it will dump. It came without sideboards or a floor. I used 7/8" formwood (its plywood used for building concrete forms & is pressure treated) for the floor and 1 X 3 for the sides. I have a set of solid 3' high sides for leaves and light stuff. I'm not sure if I would trust it with 1800 lbs (rated load) or on the highway, but it fits my needs just fine.
I never installed the lights - they are still in the box.

Steve,

In the venerable words of Elvis "Thenk Yew Verry Much!" /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I'll look the thing up in my Northern Catalogue. What size is it? Looks approx. 4 x 8?

Indeed indeed it all counts if it makes your life easier. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Sounds like your new addition has found a loving home. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

GlueGuy,

I believe that very same trailer is available from Harbor Freight WWW.HarborFreight.Com . I got one of their's a couple of months ago - as I recall it was $399, which included shipping. It's a 4'x8' trailer, 1860lb payload (2000 gvwr), and has a tilt bed. One nice feature - has a little bigger tires/wheels (12" or 14", I don't remember for sure). It bolts together, no welding required. I used a 4'x8' sheet of 16ga sheet metal as the floor - makes dirt and brush slide out real easy. It's highway legal, so I registered mine - let's me use the tractor to pull it around here and load it, then hook it to my l'il P/U for a run to the landfill. I had looked at Northern when I got mine, but they didn't carry the same (or really comparable) model. If they have it now for that price he quoted, that would be a real good deal! /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif
