Follow up to my first tractor: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/my-first-tractor.70850/ Made a visit to my local Kubota dealer again, found out they do not do "harvest returns," thanks for the thought Tarmy. The salesman said harvest returns (wherever available) would probably...

We are lucky to have a fair amount of underground water with natural springs poking out in a few places. Not gushing, but enough to make the footing super soft around the berry bushes on the property line. Former owner with his BX and the fellow with the Bobcat tracked skid steer both got stuck...

That bottom wet area is part of a slough ( https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/slough.html ) that connects to the Pacific Ocean. The creek under our bridge seems to rise a little with the tides. The bottom area isn't always soggy but really comes in handy during the winter rains. The creek...

I'd like to look at other brands, but the only two dealers near me or Kubota and John Deere, and you know… I could check some dealers a bit further away, do Kubota dealers have varying pricing or is it pretty much MSRP? Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for that tidbit of information, less tippy works well for me. Did you do wheel spacers? I will admit to thinking that "SU" stands for Sport Utility even though I know it doesn't…

Your observations about wet ground needing a lighter tractor load strike a chord with me. Makes the "Big B"/LX models more sensible. Would the larger tire option be more tippy than smaller option? Thanks for your thoughts.

1. Tough question. I mastered excavation tools (AKA hand tools) in my youth so I have been digging all the tree holes by hand, even at 72 years old. My wife wants to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit at some point, so maybe some grading and trenching? Pretty much above my pay grade, I'm afraid...

Thanks for the advice about the ZT and my neighbor. He is a nice guy.

Thought of a zero turn. Can they navigate ground squirrel holed ground as well as boggy areas that trapped the Bobcat tracked skid steer? Thanks for your thoughts. My neighbor has a Kubota B-older and a zero turn, he is a mechanical savant that picks up broken items and makes them whole. I'm...

At this point, mowing primarily. The wife may want me to break up a bit of sod for her to extend the garden. Good point, I hadn't thought of other tasks. What else can I use for mowing, the slope of my meadow it deceiving in places.

"While that piece can be cut with a BX you might wish you were dead after the initial thrill of having done it a couple of times wears off." :ROFLMAO: Love it! There is a B2320 with 180 hours nearby…

Thanks for the splendid idea Tarmy! There is a lot of ag stuff in my area, I will ask that sales manager if they do the program. An "L" model sounds like fun too but I will probably mow only once or twice a month.

Between 4.25 and 4.5 acres is my uneducated guess. There is a small barn that looks to have stored the BX of the former owner, 6'10" at the door opening. Thanks for your interest!

My wife and I were finally able to buy a house last year, and it happened to come with almost 5 acres of mostly meadow. I'm slowly piecing the story together, the property had horses, sometimes cattle, and the grandfather had mules. But not much in the last decade, I think. The grass mowing...
