I often buy things like this. Most of the time they turn up. Sometimes they don't (not often). I could go verify every single vendor, maybe go inspect in person. That'd cost me way more than I lose. I wouldn't want every one to be a scam, but I accept a percentage will be.

Some PDs in smaller locations might take the time to go door knock and say "we're on to you." Might at least make them move location.

I would have thought revs and gearing are what drive top speed, unless it's lugging back. So yeah, a turbo will let it hold top speed with more load or up a hill. But I don't think it'll make it faster unless you can change the gearing, or change the rev limit.

Yeah, makes sense. If all the parts are there, and the dealer says it can be reinstalled and reflashed, there's not a lot of downside. Main risk is a fine, but if you don't go telling people, there's nobody to report you. It's not something other people need to know. Also keeps plausible...

Some senior people on this site have Kubota status as authorised repairers etc. They absolutely cannot recommend to you that you buy a DPF deleted tractor. CA are crazy, and someone could report you, the fines aren't pretty. Leaving all that aside, do you particularly want a DPF delete machine...

Yup. With old tractors, you buy with the attachments you need (other than 3ph attachments, which you can add any old time). If you want a tractor with a FEL, buy one with a FEL. If you have a tractor without a FEL and you want a FEL, sell it and buy one with a FEL. I added a FEL to my BX. But...

You'd normally expect the upgrades to be relatively minor, and absent some complete screwup by Kubota, for it to be essentially the same machine with more creature comforts. Therefore same capability and often quite a few interchangeable parts. If you're upgrading to your last machine, you...

I often wonder how Kubota do financing, and whether it's in the local country/franchise, or done by Kubota global. The reason this matters is that Japan has long had near zero interest rates. Companies like Kubota can borrow in Japan at rates that American companies only dream about (albeit...

One of those appears to be self identifying as a Kubota.

That makes a lot more sense.

Rototiller probably fine. 60" land plane is a bit of a stretch. It'll work, but that's a reasonably big implement for a BX. If you want the rippers down and turn up quite a bit of depth, it may take a few passes. Not impossible, but I think it's a task the L would do better. But you have that...

A B lifts quite a bit more than your Massey Ferguson does, even though it's not a lot larger. Tractors with a loader are easier to resell if you ever needed to. If you find a good machine without a loader, then fine, buy it. But if they all have a loader.....no harm done.

On my B2610 I use the height adjustment to hold it up (not an option on an LX). I often do things with it still on, including using the 3ph. If the things I'm doing don't require ground clearance, then it's easier to just leave the mower deck on. I can't go into/out of my shed with the mower...

The L235 is quite a bit bigger machine isn't it? The BX is a good machine if you're mostly on lawn, and not doing too much 3ph work. If you need more ground clearance, or more range of motion (and capability) on the 3ph, then it's pretty compromised. What work would you anticipate doing with...

I believe the LX decks ride on wheels (rather than them being anti-scalp wheels). That means the height is adjusted by adjusting the height of the wheels - the tractor can't have a height dial because the tractor isn't holding the deck up. Pros and cons. I think on a wider deck riding on the...
