I have the same basket shown in the GrumpyFarmer photo and my wife loves it. Much better than her in the bucket. If you purchase a basket, pay attention to the listed weight of the basket. Some baskets are 70lbs shipped and others are 130lbs shipped. The 70lb ones are super flimsy. As far as...

Maybe Ford should off a Kubota package. Like the old H.D. package

A shout out to the Kubota dealer from Muskoka Canada, You have a super sharp looking truck! I was staying at a resort campground near Myrtle Beach, S.C. last week. While riding around I spotted this truck, unfortunately parked where I could not take a nice side photo. The picture does not begin...

My top 5 not in any order. William W. Johnstone - Western, law enforcement. A couple of different series of books. Brad Taylor - Ex special forces operator. Books are like Mitch Rapp series. Brad Thor - Action books. James Patterson - Wrote several series, Dectective crime solver, Lawyer...

Another option if someone has a good pressure washer and wants to had heat. N.T.

I also am contacted on a regular basis by Kaufman. I also own a Kaufman 10' utility trailer purchased in 2016 that is a great trailer. Kaufman also recently opened a trailer service and repair facility in central N.C. to make it easy to purchase parts or get trailers repaired/serviced.

Kaufman is factory direct from North Carolina or Nebraska. look in either Truck Trader or Equipment Trader and you will find them. They also have a good web page order system. There are some trailer sales places that order Kaufman trailers and re-sell but they are not part of Kaufman. They also...

I have a 14' Kaufman Dump trailer that is 3 years old. I have hauled about a dozen loads of mulch, another dozen loads of gravel, several loads of firewood, and a few loads to the local landfill. It is a nice trailer for homeowner/ light contractor use. Gravel pitt once loaded 5 tons on it...

FWIW, I have no first hand experience with Flip Parts. On F.B. Kubota ZD Owners, lots of mentions about buying parts through Flip Parts.

This may help with F-550 gear ratio. Ford One of the YouTube channels I follow is V-belt and son. They recently purchased a couple of trucks from these folks. Ram They gave the dealer high marks for cost and not screwing around on the deal they made. They might have something used for you.

Check with these guys. flipmfg

Its ironic that Neal's next video he jumps up to a larger tractor for his personal use.

I have about the same amount of land and agree with all in this post. I have the plastic hopper with SS transmission and spreader wheel. Mine is rated for 300lbs. I use an old JD 650 to spread lime and fertilizer 2x per year.

A couple of things I can suggest. Check on insurance cost and cost of registration. My truck is insured through Farm Bureau and I get a good rate because all of my insurance is bundled through Farm Bureau. No auto insurance company would issue a policy because it is a commercial vehicle...

I like the F-650 buy idea. It wont be fast but will be very safe, capable and simpler to maintain than the newer stuff. I drove a roll back F-650 tow truck with the Cummins and an Allison automatic. That tow truck started life as a box truck and at 140k miles the roll back bed was installed...
