A green and yellow machine followed me home today

[SRG]

1998, 870, 4x4, 300x quik tach FEL and quik tach bucket. Super nice, well taken care of machine. Priced right. I couldn't pass it up since it had all the features i wanted, R1's, FEL, gear shift, power steering, low hrs (580) for the year. I was unable to find a Kubota with the features i wanted at a competitive price like this, and i've been looking for the better part of 8 months now.

Pics, don't hate me.

I don’t think anyone is going to give you a hard time on that one.
I was looking at similar machines a while back as something to add to the arsenal.
Looks like in super shape.
Being a farm kid, my father always said “paint it green and it costs more!”
You found it’s not always the case!
Hope it works great for you!

No hating here. I like JD too. Looks like you have it a little forward on the trailer.

She was just slightly forward. That pic exaggerates the look too tho. The concrete around those pumps had some serious high and low spots. I just happened to park the trailer on the high spot and truck on the low. Drove it 4-1/2hrs home, and it pulled nice and smooth.

Congrats!! Sure looks like a great find to me especially with that amount of hours, and looks well taken care of!! Nice they had 4 hooks already welded on the bucket for you! Good luck and enjoy.

Ha, very true. Funny you used the word "case". My neighbors row crop 600 acres and they went green to red, and said the price break was substantial.

I would have loved to have had an L2800DT but the only ones in my price range, were beat.

My bother in law came home with one of them saws. My advice if you see one is Shoot It and put it out of your misery His was good for a tank of gas. Then you had to let it sit for 12 hours to cool before it would start again.

I agree.

I was looking at Cubs too and missed out on a nice 7360ss with a Great Bend FEL, a few months back. It was priced right, just located in Oklahoma 9hrs away. You get alot of machine in those Mitsubishi powered Cubs.

Anyone have recommendations for a bolt on tooth bar?

First on my list is to hunt down some wheel weights.

Nice find, congrats. Hard to go wrong with a piranha tooth bar.

I'll check them out thank you. Do you use one?

Yes SRG, I've had one now for a couple years and it works great. Very easy to install, just 2 bolts. Just do a search for it on the forums here, lots of talk about them. It's a must to post pic's if you get one, lol.

Here's one for example

THAT’S where “paint it green” will get you!!
Just poking fun. Look at Craigslist, eBay, etc. You’ll find them, but they won’t be cheap. None of them are, regardless of color.
An option is pour some of concrete. Someone did a great job while back, and posted pictures here on OTT.

I'm seeing that. They are proud of them for sure. Definitely gonna have to scour the used market.

Looks like it's in real nice condition you can never have to many tractors.
