    Black Friday / Cyber Monday & First Plasma Cutter Options?

    For my Harry Homeowner application, I love my Hypertherm 30AIR. It handles the materials I use, has its own on-board compressor and runs on 120V or 240V. It's obviously more capable on 240 but there have been times it was handy to use 120V.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    First of all, I enjoy pictures of your area every time you post them. Although the cab temp was OK, I added foil bubble insulation inside the cab roof when I replaced the A/C expansion valve about 4 years ago. Home Depot or Lowes have it in rolls. A spray of 3M adhesive, some foil tape and a...

    Some people use trains as a means to end it all. Hard to imagine "suicide by buggy" unless they're not all that serious about it.

    Daily Chuckle

    Welcome to our local TV news. Although it is never funny when someone gets injured: 1. How does one get hit by a horse and buggy? When I'm outside I can hear them coming at least 1/4 mile away. 2. When the victim is taken to the hospital, why is it necessary to note that the coroner wasn't...

    Finding an appropriate sized tractor (hp) with a cab that's big enough.

    I'm not really familiar with the LX models, but have read about them being a bit smaller in areas when compared with the Standard or Grand models. Haven't seen spec sheets showing the dimensions of the cabs on LX vs L cabs, but the salesman in the video below mentions a bigger guy being more...

    Same here. Already have a Ridgid that was a lot more expensive than that, but the 4 foot cable has often been a limiting factor.

    Finding an appropriate sized tractor (hp) with a cab that's big enough.

    The buddy seat in the L4240 is my lap. Sweet Pea NEVER falls asleep on the road, but she did drift off in the 'Bota about a year ago when she wanted to ride along with Dad.

    Finding an appropriate sized tractor (hp) with a cab that's big enough.

    My L4240HSTC fits me just fine. I'm 6'-3" and 270#. My version came with a comfortable cloth seat. Note that I DID adjust the typical Kubota forward tilt out of it*. I'm not sure it's slid all the way back and there's plenty of legroom. In recent years Kubota has been introducing their "X"...

    B7500 Tractor aprox.20 yr old

    Does it make noises while driving? You should be able to see / feel the movement. Mine had loose bolts where the hub fastened to the axle. They were tapered bolts that made the hub tight on the hex axle.
