Now if it was a Kubota, they are all online for free I might add.

Having bought manuals for various machinery over the years, I've learned that details of some photo copies are difficult to see. This is especially true of parts manuals where small numbers are sometimes blurred on photo copies. A slightly used dealer copy from ebay once solved that problem for me.

I have to have service manuals for my equipment. I will only buy OEM and only in paper form. For older equipment I like to find them in dealership shop binders. Just something about that I like. Ebay has been good for a lot of them but you have to be patient for a good price. I bought one once that claimed OEM no reprint. Pictures confirmed it was correct. it was a reprint. Got my money back on that one claiming fraudulent listing.

Good Lord. I traded in my 3-point snow blower and the owners manual and all my field notes went with it. I sold my smaller rear blade to a private party and my owners manual and field notes went with it.

I would complete the purchase of certain land engagement implements - private party - W/O an owners manual.

Just because the previous owner had no need for an owners manual does not mean I do not want one.

On a private party sale of a tractor. Have the selling party provide or purchase a new OM.

I've traded in many cars over my time. The owners manual - such as they are - went with the trade in.

My last two motorcycles were both BMW. As a condition of purchase - I was provided with the Service Manual on each sale. Just so happened both were DVD's.

I sent equipment to consignment auction this year. Owners, parts, and service manual went with one and parts and owners with the other. The one even had the serial plate paper clipped to it. It was falling off and I kept it in a binder just because. I know when I auctioned off the farm the first time it was surprising how many people did not take the owners manual for the equipment they bought. All of which I still have.
