Hy all,

Since a few days i am new on the forum and i am new with tractors. I live in The Netherland. That also raises the Q...? Any other Dutchies here? (Did you know that Yankees comes from Jan Kaas, wich means Jan cheese in Dutch, haha)

Last week we got an old grey orange Kubota L1302DT with loader and 3 point hitch pallet fork straight from the shipping Container from Japan off a dealer. It came as a gods blessing.

During my normal day life I am a forestry teacher and besides my teaching job I maintain an small wooded estate (17 hectares). I am the care taker, not the owner but I do live on the estate, in the woods living the dream. I have been doing the estate for a year now and whas in big need for a tractor so I am really happy with the Kubota. I also do woodworking and restaurating old machinery, expecially old woodworking machines.
What I do you can also see on my youtube channel. Although thats not a big thing for me, I like to make movies sometimes. I am planning to make more movies from work on the estate and the L1802DT is going to be in the spotlight.

The Kubota still needs some work (will it ever stop haha). Tommorow new parts will come in. New exhaust manifold, new exhaust, new gaskets, new filters, new oil, ect. I am skilled but not a automotive expert so i will need your help in the future [emoji4]

I am planning to take the kubota appart in mid summer for painting and changing rusty parts and bolts and new tires. Tires its on now are really crackeling...

That second video is UNBELIEVABLE. Just looking down from where you were makes me light headed! Did someone else fly the drone over to you?

Welcome to the forum.


Is that a compliment or the opposite haha?
It’s a GoPro cam on my helmet, not a drone. Wish I had one:)
