    John Deere Announces Layoffs

    I worked for Otis Elevator when we closed our manufacturing plant in the U.S. and moved it to Mexico. We had all sorts of issues with it being down there and eventually moved it all back. JD needs to think this through....

    Want to buy L2502 but cold start has me re-thinking

    I have the 2502 that I purchased new in 10/23 and now have over 70 hours on it. Mine does not smoke like this, it barely smokes when first started but clears up in 10 seconds at most..

    L3560 newbie Ballast

    I am sure they do but there will be an extra cost for that service. Weight in the tires gets the weight down to the lowest possible point where it's needed the most. Nothing else does as well as a job for getting the weight down low as does tire ballast. Also with loaded tires, that weight is...

    Pricing

    That's about the price difference I found between dealers too. My dealer also threw in the bolt on cutting edge and the suspension seat arm rests. What is it that Kubota doesn't offer that you are wanting? If there is one piece of advice I can offer you is to choose your brand carefully...

    Binders and Chains or Ratchet Straps

    I use chains and binders. I have seen straps loosen up and come free and also seen them getting cut and failing. My dealer delivered mine with chains and they move a LOT of tractors so that told me something right there....

    Sooo

    One of my best friends was a state trooper and he always told me that only a new cop would pull anyone over for going 15MPH and under over the posted speed limit. That pretty much is how it is around here too unless it's late at night when the cops are looking for ANY reason to pull you over...

    Pricing

    Yeah, I had 4 dealers within an hour of me and planned to work them against each other for my business. It worked out well. I even informed them up front what I was doing. (y)

    Pricing

    I bought my 2502 in September and paid cash. I worked with 4 different dealers and all had a cash verses financing price. It was $3K less to pay in cash.

    Can't decide on a tractor for the life of me.

    I would think you would want something a little larger if you need to maintain a long drive. I would be looking for probably an L series if it were me. That's an awful small machine, not much larger than a lawn mower. I see 2501's in my area going for 16-17K with under 150 hours quite...

    Loaned my tiller to my BIL

    Sorry fellers, no horror stories about him damaging my tiller. He's the one guy I know would make it right if he did. He also is a director of a large shop that works on tractors and he's master mechanic. The story was just about the 3520 being too tippy where the 2502 ate that work right up...

    Loaned my tiller to my BIL

    So I loaned my 5' tiller to my brother in law to use on is John Deere 3520. I got it back after a couple of weeks and he said his tractor was just way to tippy to be able to till the area he needed done. I was over there for Mothers day and seen he has a walk behind tiller but it wasn't working...

    Grass

    Mine's getting out of control and it's been less than a week since I have mowed. It's growing like crazy! Worst of all, I haven't invested in a grass bagger. On the bright side, I have two 13 YO twin boys who I make rake after I mow. Anything to keep them off the gaming systems.... ;)

    What's this??? (SOLVED)

    Hydraulic Top Link

    Love my hydraulic top link, it makes every implement way more useful. And I really appreciated all the help you gave me to piece together my own valve and rear remotes on my 2502...

    Extra Security Protection

    My experience is if someone wants to steal something, especially something remote like this, they will and a lock on a door won't change things. Have good theft insurance.

    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    Looks like the Corriher family (I think Ted's brother) is pushing their CAL attachments pretty hard now. ..
