Refurbished Tractors

[Kernopelli]

Many "reconditioned"/ or refurbished tractors have a bad rep. These don't sound like they are all "fully reconditioned" and I don't know the quality but they sure look sweet! Check out their videos....I thought the VN were good at dolling them up :thumbdown: ??????? ?????????????? KUBOTA ??????? ????? ??????? KUBOTA ????? ??????????? ?????????? ???????????

There's an 'English language' toggle - look at the right end of the skinny gray header bar.

And there's that tube frame loader with the levelling linkage:
YM2420


Kernopelli - we've learned 'reconditioned' means a flawless museum quality paint job put over God-knows-what. Many buyers won the gamble, a few got burned. The wholesaler here in Northern California that claimed 400 units/month seemed to be a branch owned by a family in VN that ran a big reconditioning factory. They did a decent and sincere job of taking back their warranty returns ... and it put them out of business when they couldn't unload any more as-is warranty returns at the auction.

YMMV!

Looks to me like if you filled the bucket up it would turn the tractor over or tear the front end off the tractor, whichever comes first.

Looks like a disaster in the making to me.

not a problem . he's heavy in the seat, has weight on the rear, and it's not far to the ground, but needs a toothbar:thumbsup:

Interesting......never seen one like that!

Yep i think working it good will tear it clean off the front of the tractor.

Those loaders are odd but the two I've seen in person were plenty stout for the size tractors they were mounted on. I actually started a thread on them several years ago, asking if any members had them. The only real limitation I saw was lift height. I dug in clay and scraped and loaded some gravel with them and they were as solid and tight as a conventional loader. Not saying you couldn't wear or abuse one into twisting or being sloppy, just saying the ones I demo'ed (like Cowboy357's in the attached thread) were (still) stronger than the 18-20 hp tractors they were mounted on. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/grey-market-tractors/128886-unique-gray-market-fels.html
