I find this tread Offensive

This thread is offensive to me too.... LOL.. just kidding...
Go to a Kubota dealer, ride all of them for as long as you like, right there on the lot.
Finance at zero % for three years, make interest on your money.
You can get into a B series and a mower for 15K or less. The dealers have room for dickering (where I saved myself $500). Take a tralier, bring one of them home.
I like my turf tires a lot. I bought with the R4s (the mid-tread aggression, which I think is the R4) and they were too aggressive for my preferences. The stealer traded me straight even. I am pleased with the turfs, even while operating the loader.
One thing to consider if you so choose to finance... get all that you want now, and finance it all at zero. Loader, blade, valve controls, etc... even a trailer if the dealer has them (which this local dealer did indeed make their own and offered to throw it in on the finance deal). I had a tandem axle utility that serves me just right.
Please don't take offense to this post... I am partial to Kubotas, even after years of Deeres.

Kingston here.Volfandt said:Hey crbr, NE Knox county, little community called Gibbs. Used to be rural, but K Town is encrotching big time. Where abouts are you?
And yeah, I do like the Orange.
Knoxville is almost here too, some two counties over and 25 miles west. Hackney trucking has made the tie. it's all a matter of time now.

Hackney wanted to build out our way 1st. We let our county commissoners know we didn't want it in our rural/residential community and for once they listened and wouldn't rezone the parcel from ag to business. There was a bigger site just a few miles away in the city but Hackney was pizzed & wouldn't take it and he took his toys and built in Roane county. The tax revenue it brings in is good for Roane county I'd say. We could have used it too but wanted to keep our little corner of Knox county as rural & residential as possible. All the subdivisions going up helps offset it though.
I was born in Harriman but my family moved away when I was 4. That was many many moons ago
Wouldn't mind having a place on the lake with it's own slip though
Don't mean to hijack this tread, nice to e-meet you

I have a problem with the subject of Digging fence posts with a Back Hoe. It is simply very bad advice. There are a lot of reasons to want to own a Hoe and post holes is not one of them.kcook said:Im taking everyones advice for right now, I am having some friends over who also have Cut and SubCut to get there advice as well

I started looking at the B7510/7610, then the B7800 and ended up with the B2630, which I love (except the ROPS is too tall for my storage area!). I chose it for the hydraulics, lift height and "extras" that I already find useful. Yes, a tilt wheel is nice when getting on and off the tractor especially with long legs. Although I would love a backhoe, I could rent a mini-excavator for weeks for the same price and accomplish a lot more in less time so for me it wasn't a good investment. I just got my Markham toothbar on my loader last night and spent the evening digging rocks and small trees, I love my tractor!
Bottom line, the 7510/7610 would have worked but when financing for 0% I bought the one I wanted. I need the ground clearance as I have 35 acres of woods to navigate so the BX wouldn't have worked. I just picked up a 60" Befco RFM at a great price and I am happy as can be. Get as much machine as you think you will ever need.

I was reading a posting by a member that made lots of cents to me, he talked about long term goals/needs. For me lawn cutting, and some driveway and road maintenace are the big two. This would lead me to a smaller tractor!
