Yea like 6k is too expensive... though that's similar idea. I found this, which is interesting: https://www.mkrittenhouse.com/us/forestry-assortment-for-the-portable-capstan-winch Portable winch that you strap to a tree or maybe even tractor.

Yea I was thinking of bolting on more metal as an idea. I don't want to mount it in the back because I wont be able to carry an implement. Idea I had was to mount it 2 inch receiver backhoe adapter, however the problem with that is I can't anchor the tractor in the ground (the backhoe bucket is...

I disagree regarding lid design. 1 larger (wider and thicker) steel bar gusseted (HUGE gusset actually) is stronger than 2 thinner bars not gusseted. The bend will happen sideways (helped by gussets) and not from the front (helped by 2 bars). You're not supposed to push stuff with the lid while...

Anyone know much force LA525 or similar bucket can take? Thinking about putting a 8500 LB hydraulic winch on mine, but not sure if the bucket can support that. I'd dig in the bucket and then use it to drag 2-3k logs from woods. I've used chains to try pull stumps out and the ~5k LB tractor spins...

I bought my L3301 in Nov 2021, prior to the Jan/Dec price increases and then Kubota also decided to come out with L3302 which also has a stealth price increase (hey its a new model with new hood design, mats, electric PTO, and LED lights yet same everything else!). Same deal would have cost me...

I have agristore top tilt cylinder. Works great. Regarding talk about using box blade...Ideally you want it set to about position 4 (mid height on L series) or 1/4-1/2 inch off the ground when tilt is level. Then you use top link to angle blade/ tines to dig or other way to drop dirt level. You...

Thanks for the idea... list it without backhoe and sell that later. I'm actually getting a decent number of people emailing me with interest as per the equipment trader ad so I'll see. Looks like Kubota recently increased prices again. I priced up a similar new machine at 43.5k not including...

Oh sorry I'm (again) confusing Befco with Betst (made in china). Wouldn't surprise that me it has has china parts on it though (like the tines).

Pretty sure they are china made. Who told you US?

Not a dealer, but short answer is it depends. When getting a loan, the bank looks at your debt to income ratio. If your income is good and you don't have high monthly payments (and no delinquent history), it likely means you have good credit score. Basically bank wont approve getting a 1k per...

Dealer told me 4%. :( Stupid COVID. This is getting ridiculous. Prices for EVERYTHING just keep going up and up. My job isn't giving me raises to keep up.

I didn't think of trying. I think the zerked pin is the one that gets the friction. The one without zerk but still moves has a spinning pin plus 2 metal parts. Here is pic from their website picture to illustrate. The lower 'bolt' has all the pressure, but the upper has some movement and pin...

Lol good point...IDK why I didn't think of posting pics. I'll get some later and post.

I initially wanted to get an Everything Attachments 55 'Wicked Grapple' as this is popular and lots of satisfied users/ reviews. However they told me it would be 6+ months and at the time their prices increased significantly. Doing some research, I was considering Land Pride as the alternative...

Sorry I'm wrong. I went back and checked (dealer quotes) and it's 21k (not 25k) just for: - BT1000V backhoe - Quick attach -24 inch quick attach bucket - Hydraulic thumb - Rubber stabilizer pads Yea it's nuts... I think they are over charging because people are paying. One dealer let it 'slip'...

Don't think I want to mess with removing the backhoe subframe. Plus the backhoe is what makes the tractor more desirable as there's literally none out there for sale with it. There's many L3301/L3901 without backhoe as this is Kubota's best seller. I know some folks ignore L3301 and focus on...

Yea not the best spot to be in to want to sell equipment recently bought. Might end up just keeping for now. I did surprisingly find an L47 at dealer and they gave me a trade offer. Of course it’s low (low 30’s) as they’ll want to profit from reselling it. And of course they want every penny of...
