Lamborghini? They made tractors before they made sports cars.

If the M62 only just fits down the trails, you'd have to drive slowly and carefully all the time. Would that be annoying? Presumably after a while you'd just make your trails wider, and be done with it. And then the M62 would be perfect.

Looks like a part number for a front guard, on an LA1154. https://www.messicks.com/ku/90416?sectionId=230071&diagramId=462926 An LA1154 is a loader, and it fits an M series machine, perhaps an M6060 or M7060. If so, that should be written on the side of the hood of the tractor. An M series...

As always on the internet, people who have issues with their machine are massively more likely to post. Nobody really posts saying "I have an L2502 and it runs just fine". Doesn't mean there's no issue there, but the frequency will not be what you would assume from reading the internet. They...

If you put green grease on a Kubota, it'll explode. You have to buy proper orange grease.

What location are you in? The B3350 obviously has that regen issue as you note. I think if you're in a warm climate it may be worth the risk, presuming that it comes at a reasonably heavy discount. If you're in a cold climate, I think you'd be better going with a B2650. None of the things you...

Deliberately skipped it. It didn't fit my narrative. It doesn't do that much more than a B, and arguably costs more than an L. If you're focused on metal for your money, you probably jump right over the LX and go to the L.

True indeed. I'd guess that bigger tractors are probably higher margin. Slower turning stock, lower volume, probably more often sold to businesses and to people who have very specific requirements. I'd be quite surprised if an M7 wasn't higher margin than a BX. In the same way I'd expect a...

Not as such. Just that a twice as big part doesn't cost twice as much, it's maybe 50% more. And a twice as big tractor doesn't cost twice as much, it's maybe 50% more. No precision to my numbers, just a concept.

But then you'd have no excuses when things go wrong!! :)

I have no information to give you. But I'm envious of your new (to you) F. That's a great machine.

My rule is that I give them one chance to do it right. If they're too stupid to understand I'm trying to give them more money, or too lazy to do the work to take the money, that's on them. And yes, often it's the staff that are lazy not necessarily the owner. But if you hire lazy staff, then...

A B isn't much more than a BX, and it's quite a lot more tractor. An L isn't much more than a B, and it's quite a lot more tractor. An MX isn't much more than a bigger L, and it's quite a lot more tractor. An M isn't much more than an MX, and it's quite a lot more tractor. My logic is that a BX...

I see the theme to your comments. If you needed a big machine often, and only for small periods of time, then driving to the rental shop, picking it up, paying a day rental, dragging it home, using it for an hour, then taking it all back, would probably be false economy. If you only need it...

Sounds like a great buy - and lots of fun.

I hear lots of people with stories about how you should sharpen the blade then blunten it a bit, or not sharp it until it's all the way sharp. I have a pretty simplistic view on this, because I beat on my mower pretty hard mowing roadside. So it mows a bit of gravel, the occasional stone and...

If you are worried about margin of safety on a 10k lift, would you be comfortable with a 12k lift? That's only 20% more. Seems to me that either you believe that a 10k lift can lift 10k every day of the week and twice on Sundays, or you think that you need a margin. If you need a margin, would...

There will often be two bearings per spindle. One about where it goes through the deck, another a bit higher. There will be a workshop manual that tells you how to dismantle it. It's not incredibly hard, but not incredibly easy either. Generally you detach all the stuff around it, then have to...

He said: So yes, when he needs a bigger machine he borrows or rents or hires it out.

Check all the parts you need to change. It's a pretty old machine, so it may not be too many parts - no computer, but maybe injectors or injection pump. With changes like this it is often more economic to sell your machine and buy an M9580 than to do the work.
