    LE add-ons that are standard on Deluxe

    I have a list of the in cab items that are not included, but have not been able to confirm if the telescopic arms can be added, which is what I am asking here. That L8430 kit isn't for the Grand L series though, already looked into it. There is a switch that can be added under the seat for...

    Tractor Mike - Skills lost

    Sounds like my house. What busts my nuts is they show up asking if they can help AFTER the work is already done. Great timing kids! As far as dealer service, I want my vehicle repaired correctly and can pretty much do it myself, but if under warranty, let them do it. I try to figure out what...

    Tractor Mike - Skills lost

    Lincoln logs were my favorite when I was a kid. Used to make toll booths for my hotwheels out of them. Or build a big wall at he end of a track and watch it explode when a car rammed it off the track. LL today are not anything like they used to be, was quite disappointed when I bought a set...

    Tractor Mike - Skills lost

    The plural of Lego is Ready for it? Lego I have a few thousand invested in Lego. Those Technic kits are pretty damned entertaining and take skill to make work. There is a huge bucket excavator sitting on the floor behind me. It actually scoops stuff up and dumps it into a truck.

    The reality of selling a late model used Kubota in today's market.

    In IL of buying for farm use, no taxes are charged. You do have to fill out a tax form, but as long as the equipment is used for farming, no taxes. Since all my stuff is for making hay, no taxes, even on buying parts. I bought a bunch of parts for an IH35, no taxes charged since its a rake...

    Warming HST oil VS engine oil

    Stick a log splitter on and cycle it a few times, warms it up quickly! After 20 years, my B2410 was never a cold weather issue, start it, let it run a minute or so and go to work with it. All the cars and trucks I have owned over the years, same thing, get in and drive. Oil flows, or it...

    LE add-ons that are standard on Deluxe

    I have one on order and I think the sway bars are not the telescopic type. Is this correct? I have the mirrors and light brackets included as well as corresponding switches and CC switch. I plan to install LED lights which i already have, provided they fit the brackets. If the sway bars are...

    Tractor Mike - Skills lost

    Why fix something when you can throw it away and buy a new one? Remember back when you could take the tubes out of your TV and test them to find out which one needs to be replaced so your can watch it? Today when it dies, they toss it out and get a bigger fancier one. When Computers first...

    I learned to drive in Chicago in a 2 WD LTD Station Wagon. I laugh at all these people getting stuck in their FWD and AWD vehicles while I drive around them in my 2WD F150.

    The reality of selling a late model used Kubota in today's market.

    What I have done in the past when listing something is first see what others are selling/sold for, more important are the sold for ones as they give the most realistic price. I did this for an RV back in 2019/2020. Listed it at the end of the season and it sat on RVTrader until late May when...

    Lists of states where legal and illegal to drive with them on. Wisconsin and Illinois are on the illegal list. Hazards are required for SMV in all states as those are the rules of the road for AG. Farm equipment falls into a different category than Motor Vehicle, so the rules are different...

    USING RPM to clear Disel buildup?

    Every diesels air intake is at WOT, no butterfly to regulate it so it will draw all the air it needs. It's the amount of fuel being injected that determines it's speed. At idle it takes very little fuel to run, so it can sit and idle all day on less than a pint of fuel, unless worked, then the...

    Is the equipment shortage ending? Probably not, but look at this JD dealer's lot.

    I talked to my dealer yesterday on my order. Tractor is all done, but no FEL yet in sight. When they invoice the dealer, that is when they will know it's arriving. The good news is he verified the incentive and price is locked in by Kubota.

    Credit Rating Nonsense

    Credit bureaus don't have your financial information, they don't know your actual income, nor how much money you have in your accounts, but they do rely on your reporting of income. They obtain your "income" from creditors as well. When you apply you tell them how much you make, and for high...

    Even in IL and WI they still have issues when it snows. Panic ensues, flashers (which are illegal on the road) come on, and 5 MPH trains begin and thats when the announcement of snow happens two days in advance I'm still waiting on enough snow to get the thrower out of the barn. So far thats...

    BX stalls around 1/2 tank on sloping ground

    Yeah, unless bush hogging, my B2410 will sit at full all day long, so I know what you mean. Problem I see with your theory is that it takes a LOT of vacuum to collapse the fuel hoses, so much so that you would hear a huge sucking sound as you removed the cap. It would also show in the side...

    BX stalls around 1/2 tank on sloping ground

    First thing, it isn't vapor lock. That is when fuel vaporizes in very hot lines, and is usually related to carburetors which have low pressure, 5-7 PSI lines, and happens right at the carb. Diesel doesn't vaporize in such a way to cause this, BUT what is possible is the fuel pump is bad. The...
