Just got back from local meeting. Counselor said I can't come back. Too bad of influence on group.

I explained I just need a bigger tractor. I have to move hay once in a while and my truck with hay stinger wasn't working when horses needed hay. Neighbors were going to call the sheriff if I didn't get them fed. And a sheriff detective just moved in NEXT door!

Even showed pictures of actually doing some work....made no difference.

I may have to travel to get to next meeting. Can someone send info on your meetings, when, what's required, how many usually attend, snacks offered, how long they last, does counselor have a sense of humor?

Here's a couple of pictures I showed. No avail!

If your list under your avatar is right this is your 6th Kubota? !!!!!! :eek:

But if you need it you need it!

My neighbor with an L3200 said condescendingly when I told him about my B2650 "well that's a better size for you" and I bristled and said "oh no I didn't trade in my L tractor this is in addition to it". Then he said, "well you don't like to swap implements around much any way". This is true, but if you don't have a mid pto on your tractor you can't have a front snow blower... those of us in Kub anonymous have very good reasons :D

Ummmm
D2Cat.... vess up... you have others not listed too! That is unless you've been secretly selling off the stash. ;)
I'll rat you out if I have too, just to prove how much of a Kubotaholic you really are! :D

Now as far a Kubota Anonymous meetings, I though it was best to just have the yearly retreat at my place, You decide, daily, weekly, monthly, whatever it takes to help with the addiction.

Oh and just to be clear.... Helping with the addiction, will mean many courses, classes, lectures, and campfire sing a longs to support and encourage your addiction!

Main course, proper power buying of used Kubota's whether you need them or not! (Course content written and course taught by D2Cat)

Properly negotiating the sale of your used kubota (Course taught by .... Nobody and probably will just be a reason to just kick back and relax)

Proper paint maintaining, repainting, and waxing of your Kubota (Course brought to you by Bearskinner) With special session on how to do big things with a little tractor!

Understanding and dealing with your newer tractors emissions system (Lecture and meditation session brought to you by sheepfarmer)
Paper bags, Laughing gas and herbal tea will be served during this Lecture, Please bring you own Xanax, Vicodin, or other calming vices with you.
If we need too, we can move the class to Washington state to help with the "smoking or snack-able calming vices".

Class in how to negotiate a new tractor purchase (Brought to you by 1970cs), with special session on how not to tick off the sales guy and how to keep them from throwing you out of the dealership and calling the cops on you.

Special course on "How to make things like NASA uses, but for your Kubota" (Special class by Yooper)

Proper or improper tear down and replacement of any slightly used component and even stuff that doesn't need replaced (Course brought to you by North Idaho Wolfman) with a special class on "You've blown it up, Now what to do" and sticking a bigger Kubota engine in your broken unit and this course is also very helpful with the Bobcat crowd.

Classes on "How to deal with Snow" and "How not to have your backside frezze to your seat", or "How to deal with the heat" and "How not to melt your backside into your seat"!
Direction of classes will depend on the weather that day, and by the looks of it, how long it takes for the snow to melt off of this place! (Brought to you by olthumpa and bearbait jointly(snow), CaveCreekRay (Heat))

Foreign relations (By cabu (Germany) and Tooljunkie (Canada) and Alexisferos (Greece) and volp (Sweden (summer)), (Spain (winter)).

Anyone else wishing to teach a Course please contact management so we can have neat things to help you tear up!

Please bring your own RV, Camper, Tent, Hammock, camping chair, or blanket, and bonus points for bringing a show and tell / play / tear down Tractor!

Firewood is available on site, Just bring your own Chain saw, Ax, Bow saw, hatchet, whittling knife.

Bathing with happen after someone digs the community swimming hole, so please for the love of all things someone bring a Track-hoe to the retreat!

Speaking of which. Someone recently opened "Pend Oreille Cannabis Company" in our little town. I went to the store the other day and when I got home I told my wife about it. I told her it was called "Pend Oreille Cannabis Company and Youth Center". :D. She screamed, WHAT!!!!!!!!! The look on her face was priceless. Then I started laughing 'till I cried. :D:D:D

And Yes, I do paint anything that comes off for the season, getting the next implement installed....... Yes, I am a Kubotahaulic

You guys are funny!

Cat, you have a problem, and a really nice tractor there to add to the corral!!:cool:

After my father sold our dairy cows, several folks asked if he'd have 1 or 2 cows for milk, butter, beef, etc.

He always said "If you have 1, might as well have 100...."

Does the same apply to tractors?:p:p

I tell my wife you can have all the shoes/purses you want...(she's pretty down to earth and those items do not light her fire)..I'll just put tractors in my closet!

Good for you! :cool:

I looked at a very nice JD1050 2WD w/JD 75 FEL at an auction this morning. Yanmar diesel ~37hp, manual transmission, 1270 hours. Nice, but lots of other guys looking too.

My price was $3,500, and that wasn't going to happen. Translation, I'd buy if for a steal, not otherwise.:eek:

Left long before it was sold.....

D2 called me asking for information on the L3800 a few weeks back... I guess he found something to fill that void.

Couldn't quite make out the model. What year? Time?

Time to dish on specifics!!!

:)
