I'm almost certain that you purchased the wrong top link as well. You got the 6004 which has 11" of travel and I think you really want the 6003 with 8" of travel. Here's a link to the 6003...

Sorry about your dad. When the dealership told you "the ECU was fried", they were in essence telling you that you needed to spend $3500 to fix the problem. Well, they were wrong. The ECU was obviously NOT fried and now they are guessing again. Likely others here know more that me, but an...

I hope you are not out the $3500. The dealer mis-diagnosed the problem - you shouldn't eat this. You say that it won't start. Does the engine spin with the starter and just won't fire? If so, then your dealer is more than likely full of crap. Seems to me that you are getting played - big...

Supply and demand are tough in both the new and used car/truck market as well. Many people are leveraging the internet and broadening their search. It may well be the case that you can find the tractor or implement you want a few hundred miles from you. Yeah, there's an expense of having it...

You will love the addition of a top link. The most important thing is to get the right length for your tractor. I would recommend that you go take some measurements - specifically what is your mid-point pin to pin measurement and then what min length and max length can you take without...

Yeah, I guess the key question here is if the motor will turn over. If the starter is clicking and the solenoid is engaging - and no crank, then it may be seized.... and that will be expensive.

Well, from that brief description, I would say that you should look at, sit on, potentially drive a Kubota L2501 and a Kioti CK2610. I think these two tractors would compete with one another and may be on the larger side of what you think you may need. If finances allow, I think it's better to...

Before giving you any advice, can you make some comments on what you believe your intended uses are? Are you going to add a bush hog? If so, what is the height/density of material? What tasks do you intend to accommodate with loader? Any plans/uses for a grapple? If so, what will you be...

I agree with several that this thread has run its course -nothing new here and time to move on. With respect to the "street prices" I cited, I believe the price were very close to what each tractor could be purchased for. The MX price of $22,885 is sans loader and cab and a casual look at some...

I was reacting to you assertion of knowing why someone did something. YOU don't know why I posted the thread. But let's look objectively at your MX recommendation as a viable alternative to the decision I made. The specs are closer than what I would have thought. The MX5400 is definitely...

You ALWAYS seem to know what others are thinking. Is that a gift? The reality is that is NOT the reason I started the thread. I didn't think ANY Kubota owners would rush out and buy a Kioti. Nor do I think that ANYONE who bought a Kubota made a poor decision. My point is only this... I...

Boy, Jim, you just really don't want to give it up do you? Dig, dig, dig. I'm thinking you have some kind of complex. But, if you want to spar, let's do it in a constructive way - maybe others can benefit. Here we go... As I stated initially, I shopped the market openly and objectively...

Giddy up. You guys are just a lot more fun!! Yes, my direct tractor ownership spans just 4-years. My first tractor is a 2008 Case 580M Backhoe. It is a beast and I LOVE it. I purchased it from a utility company so it was well-maintained and in excellent condition. Never a rental. Funny...

In this thread, the importance of good dealer support has been (rightfully) brought up several times. Historically, I think Kubota's have had a better reputation for quality than other brands, but a problem can always pop-up. Good dealers may be more thorough in catching a potential issue...

10 years ago I believe there was a larger price gap. In these past 10 years, EVERYONE has upped their game and I sincerely believe that the products are more closely aligned and similar. Competition has improved the breed.

Reading comprehension? Maybe you can tell me where I ever said that you should make your decision based solely on a spreadsheet? Gotta hand it to you guys. First argument is that there are differences in lift capacities but that Kuboat is smarter and better balanced machine. Then the next...

100% in agreement. Seems like everything I say in this thread the hater want to take it and twist it to their own benefit. The latest example is that all of a sudden I am saying that a prospective buyer should make their decision SOLELY based on a spreadsheet comparing...

Do you even read before responding? You don't think it's sage advice to keep track of the different specs when making a buying decision? Did you read I advocated that even if comparing within a same brand?? And according to you - the specs are "bullshit published numbers"? Really, that's why...

All of this from your vast experience with your B-series ride-on mower? Wow, I feel so schooled! Speaking of school, pssst.... the "butt" you repetitively try to refer to has two "t's". I keep trying to bring the discussion back onto the rails - while you are bound and determined to go off the...

Maybe you should try to open your mind just a bit and READ. 1. Each brand has nightmare stories. There are several Kubota nightmare stories on this forum. Does Kubota have a MUCH better reputation that other tractor brands? Hell yes. How many times have I agreed with this - yet you keep...
