That's a small kubota. You will need turf tires if your driving in yards. Is that one in the picture even 4 wheel drive?

Oh yeah its 4x4, be about worthless without.

Is your tractor the same size as that Kubota? Ag tires?

To be honest, I didn't even see that HP on that old kabota thing you were looking at. Looked old and mid 80's from what I saw though. Me thinks the Dan need digeth deeper. Mine is 43hp hydrostatic. R-4 industrial tires (I think). Been working well for me for ten or eleven years now, or whatever it's been.

This Kubota is 23 horse with 3cylinder diesel. The Dingo was 25 horse. I am used to working with smaller equipment so this should work for me, I don't want a bigger machine. These old Kubota are pretty decent from what I have heard. I know people who beat on theirs all the time. Its all old steel which I like and not hydro which I like also I think or at least don't mind that its not. Its in good shape though I have not inspected it.

I was against the hydro deal initially, but once you get used to it, its like chuck and duck vs. self feeder. 23 HP pretty wimpy though, IMO. Mine is pretty good on lawns, trust me.

Thanks! If I could back almost 20 years I think I would come up with something different, but its been working.

Why I would drive all the way to Maryland to buy an old tractor when this one is right down the road is beyond me, I suppose I like old tractors. I am picking it up in the morning going to drive it to my house but first I am going to stop and finish a few jobs along the way. The trailer is behind it which I will get when I need it soon.

I like the matching wheelbarrow. Lol.

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

I picked up a set of clamp on bucket for it locally for 180 bucks. These tend to destroy buckets but I know a way to weld in proper support without making the bucket useless. Other than that I am pretty much back in action tearing up lawns and moving logs.

Must be for when the going gets tough!! Lmao. Just teasing, danno..

That might be a quick change bucket like a skid loader is. For about $500 yo can get a good set of forks

Its not a quick change like the Dingo is. It doesn't look to hard to get the bucket off ( not going to do it on a job that's for sure) and get an adapter plate but I should be fine with the set up I plan on using.

Gee Paul, to see you getting all worked up over that wheelbarrow does make me wonder.

nice slip scoop!

Ok, what did I miss? I looked at it, looked like the bucket was held to the arms with pins. I dunno.

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

Allright, I lied, there is no Kubota, no New Holland, only this

lol....always entertaining...Dr. P.BenDanno!
