    What radio did you put in YOUR Cab?

    I saw that radio, Amazon has a Kubota radio with harness, $95. I looked close at the radio and thought, gee, that looks familiar, pulled the part number, Sure enough, Walmart standard stock item, $24.95. Good enough for me, whenever the tractor arrives. The harness is something like $12 on...

    What radio did you put in YOUR Cab?

    Those radios the dealer offers are a LOT of money, and seriously, does anyone run Sirius in their tractor? I have one subscription, for my F150, the rest of the time i use the App, so i can have Sirius anywhere. So lets see what you installed. I have an L4060 on order and looking around at...

    What they did was not lower anything but actually come up with a new trailer weight class. 2,000 pounds and under. They didn't lower anything, the TA plates will still be $118.

    Wood Splitter: Self-contained vs Tractor Powered?

    I went down this rabbit hole last month. Get a tow behind or a 3pt. After finding out just the pump and tank alone would cost nearly as much as a tow behind, and thats before pricing the actual splitter, I decided the tow behind was it. Then a friend of mine said, why buy one when you can rent...

    L4060 vs ??

    If thats the case then the L4060 is the better tractor. Heavier, more ground clearance, longer, and $2000 lower in price. Only thing the JD has is slightly more HP.

    L4060 vs ??

    Been trying to compare this tractor to other brands while trying to make a purchase decision (already ordered the L4060 HSTC). At first I thought vs the JD 3 series, but other than HP, the JD is less of a tractor. So for future reference for others, what compares? Back in 2001-2002 when I...

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

    So, no vacuum cleaners on the list? :eek: I work for a large catalog brand company that many have heard of at some point. Our inventories have been fluctuating like crazy thanks to the shipping issues. We have found that people are buying NOW instead of waiting for after Thanksgiving. Seems to...

    3rd party accessories?

    I was trying to level out my arena with fresh limestone, some sections were a bit rough and lumpy and no matter how I attacked it, could not get them smoothed out using a 6' grader blade. Of course this was 15 years ago, and haven't done any grading work since, I gave up trying to figure it out...

    Biodiesel in Modern Tractors

    Thats about the only place I can find it today. Used to be able to get it at Farm and Fleet and Menards and neither have it in stock anymore. My F350 has a 50 gallon tank, and the only stuff in stock treats 100 gallons, so half a quart bottle every fill instead of 2 ounces every fill, so...

    3rd party accessories?

    Whenever my L4060 HSTC arrives, I would like to add a down force, or whatever it is called to the 3point and a hydraulic top arm so that I can level grade, rake etc without the arms bouncing up. I asked the dealer if it has such a thing on it because it drives me nuts when trying to grade with...

    Adding lights to my B2650 ROPS

    Years ago I ran 12GA wire from the fuse panel, to a relay and back to the ROPS to power lights. The relay was wired to the headlights so I could turn them all on with the switch. Since only the relay was a power draw, it added very little wattage to the lighting circuit. With LED lights today...

    Subframe for B2400HSD

    Depends on the backhoe. Woods makes (made?) a subframe kit for the B2410, I believe the part number for the BH6000 is 1010613, subframe and mount for backhoe. It also works for the OEM backoe. The BH70-x that I have is 1020800. Same part number for the B2400. If you can find one, that could...

    Biodiesel in Modern Tractors

    If the engine has mechanical injection and fuel pumps, Biodiesel works fine. In Biodiesel, you are referring to corn oil conversion, AKA Fryer oil conversion, correct? Thats where you take used fryer oil, add lye and a few other components, let it stew for a while, heat it up, extract the...

    Financing through Bank

    No kidding. Back in 2002 I bought a B2410 with loader, total cost with financing was $17,450. That's the full amount it cost me when it was fully paid for. Today, it is selling for ~ $12,000. So I used the tractor for nearly 20 years, and only lost $5,450. Try doing that with a car. I...

    Kubota KTAC Insurance

    This is a question that just came up for me. I ave an L4060HSTC on order, financing through Kubota 0/84 and insurance is required. This is my second Bota financed through Kubota, the first one I went with homeowners. I actually still have the rider for it on my policy, but I also have a $2500...

    Buying a new tractor - what can I haggle?

    Give this some thought if not paying cash. If the discount negates the special rate financing, how much are you going to pay in interest instead. If you get $3200 off the $33,200 price, then get 4% rate over 5 years you only saved $50. If you can get the discount AND the special rate, now...

    Financing through Bank

    Agdirect has loans for private party equipment, catch is, they start at $25,000 minimum. Rates are 3.49% to 4.29% depending on life of loan. This is on equipment up to 15 year old. Rates go up on older than that. As the post above me said, think of what that tractor will actually cost AFTER...

    Tractorless! Help!

    I know exactly what you are going through! My B2410 is exactly the same on rough ground, and my ground gets rougher every year. I am not sure if you have the treadle pedal that you rest the foot on, or the under deck treadle, which is what my B has, but I found a way to rest my foot so the...

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

    This is not something for just the tractors, but just about everything, and I feel is only going to get worse. Reports of Q3 2023 being the return point for inventory is quite scary when you think about it. I ordered an L4060 HSTC a few weeks ago. Considering there are only about 14 across...
