    Could the USA claim the moon?

    The inteligent creatures living inside the moon will take issue with this kind of talk. Film was made 120 years ago.

    Mouse trouble

    I use Grandpa Gus pouches, and pouring a gallon or so of Ammonia (check the dollar stores, it's cheap) around my storage area before winter, and keeping wild owl habitat local, and basic mouse traps and a multiple mouse - mouse trap. (They eat each other). No problems yet, knock on wood. But...

    Shopping for my first tractor

    Yeah, boats and RV's. Sometimes they are money pits. Seems like a great idea for fun. And it is, for a while. But if you sail a lot, (I did many many years ago): The peace of travelling with wind power is awesome. Think about the "Sailing" song by Chistopher Cross. Funny how things...

    I get bored easily.....Then the drinks start flowing....Then I say, hold my drink, and watch this.....

    In 5,000 years. And less than bear or squirrel piss does.

    Shopping for my first tractor

    Lots of great comments. I was in the same decision place a few years ago, but I have a history of tractor and equipment background. I don't know if you do. That being said, you need to do more research. Decide if a cab is what you want. It's a huge $ factor. Decide if a snow blower is what...

    Confessions of Kubota Owners

    I have a back blade as well. It works great on my long driveway once I get the verticle on the 3 point adjusted right for the angle of the blade. As you change the angle, verticle must be adjusted. A little test and adjust comes into play. Once dialed in, and if the snow is not too deep, I...

    Confessions of Kubota Owners

    Don"t worry about it. Keep on keeping on. The kids here have chastised me as well for posting too much. But I'm sure the operators of OTT love the volume. But I do confess that I spend too much time talking orange tractors.

    Confessions of Kubota Owners

    Oh sorry, Yeah, I confess... I carry a 10mm handgun or 308 in the forest, even while in my Kubota cab. My dog is usually in the forest beside me, and he's like my child. We'd take a bullet for each other.

    Confessions of Kubota Owners

    Don't be shocked or unprepared when you do. My brother and wife moved to Florida from Minnesota a few years ago. They see gators ALL THE TIME. He sends pictures... They see them while walking thru a state or local park. Or on a golf course. Or walking to the corner market. They like the...

    Confessions of Kubota Owners

    ...and alligators in Florida. Every place that there's water. In Wisconsin we do have snapping turtles and leaches. But no creature, yet documented, that will hide and then eat you whole in a lake or river.

    Pickup truck loader (AKA boom pole)

    Freightliner Unimog. Aka... 419. Almost bid on one at gov auction years ago. Wish that I did. Less expensive than my LX2610 Cab!

    Pickup truck loader (AKA boom pole)

    Nice build. Genius maybe. I use the loader, forks, and some chain. And a big long ballast.

    Confessions of Kubota Owners

    I confess.. That's my dream- plan. I hope to get a M62 TLB in a year or so. If I do, I'm afraid that snow season and brush hogging will be the only time I'll spend time with my current LX-cab dude. I just have to find a way to afford it.

    Confessions of Kubota Owners

    So, I'll start. Open station verses a Cab: In my life I've operated both. They trully are different machines. Open station is a tractor in it's true element with nature. A cab is a comfortable small home on a tractor. Now, I prefer a cab, everytime. Especially now that I'm old. But a...

    L2502 vs L3902

    Sounds good. Just trying to help. Everyone is different. Good luck on your purchase decision. But, if you have the funds. Go CAB. Which means LX, M or Grand L. You can thank us all later.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Great! I still have to train my wife on the Kubota. Not looking forward to it.
