Yesterday, I took delivery of our new PJ brand, 14K, 20' dovetail car hauler. I wanted the larger tires, 6" frame, and 7k axles. With aluminum wheels, including aluminum spare, front toolbox and a couple other dohickeys it was about 8,500. My concern now is wether I have to stop at the hiway...

Not to bring up this old post. op here. But I finally pulled the trigger and bought another Kubota. It will be delivered next week. But .. its Not the MX5400, but an LX2610 Cab. The reasons are: 1) Wife wanted a CAB And an MX with CAB would have been 20K more. 2) I'm retiring soon and...

I'll be the Huckleberry: With today's world economic conditions (potential collapse), I expect prices to fall in the next couple years. With job losses and people selling their tractors to buy food and ammunition. It may be a stretch. I avoid computer controls as much as possible and even...

Yah know, agree with you to an extent. But, I try to buy USA brands. What I appreciate about the Japanese manufacturers, is how they changed the American automobile manufacturers. Increased the quality. I don't think one could go wrong with a Ford, Chevy/GMC, or Dodge Ram heavy duty (3/4...

Sounds like a bad battery cable.

Wow. That is deep and appreciated. I've changed engines and done brakes and excetra for friends and family. But nothing to that extent. Lost my closest brother last year. Therefore, I feel it. Thank you for posting.

Ah, well, you should know, if you don't already. These car / truck manufacturers build vehicles to last until warranty end. The 1980's was the worst example of that in American vehicles. Sadly, it took Japanese quality to force American car companies to build better and longer lasting...

I feel your pain. Not exactly as you explained, but I've been there, turning wrenches for 45 years. Unlike some brands, they like to make things difficult so the owner takes it to a dealer. Or just says, to heck with it and buys a new truck. Ford is a good brand, in my opinion, but they've...

Well, having had a 1970 something B7100, it was bulletproof. I wish I still had it. That being said, I'm going through sticker shock about new tractor prices. Last year, I foolishly thought that I would just go get a Grand L 60 with Cab, FEL and front snow blower. ONE HUNDRED GRAND! I won't...

Respectfully, in my limited experience, buying an all aluminum block and head V6 Ford ecoboom with over 100K miles was a risky purchase. I have aquaintances with them that love and hate them. It's a high tech engine platform that does everything well when new. It's an amazing platform. But...

OP here, thank you all for your comments.

Thank You!!

So, I'm about to bite on a new Kubota. Going to put at least 50 percent down.. My question is, in your experience, does Kubota Finance offer zero APR if you put a chunk down? Or is it zero APR only with zero down? I'm talking to my highly rated dealer tomorrow. They'll fill me in, but I'm a...

The OP probably isn't paying attention. Just reiterating what @Benhameen stated. But continue for the sake of knowledge...

In my humble opinion, this opening a business has various stages. One is the guy with a tractor and equipment that wants to make a few extra bucks on the side. Working out of his home garage he starts by doing projects for friends and neighbors. It may grow if the need is there and his work...

It's an old thread, folks.

Start small. Get the legal aspects worked out and grow from there. Running out and buying $ 300,000, or a million dollars of equipment, and hope the work shows up, is not the way to go. Buy the equipment as the jobs are won and the equipment as needed. Sub it out until then. We want to buy...

If there's anything I can say about Kubota marketing, it's this; They have developed a market with hobby farmers and ranchers and property owners with luxurious, yet capable 'toys' that perform. I'm personally amazed at their product lines. Back in the late 70's they built very small but heavy...

So, I'm coming close to 30,000 miles on my "old school" 2017 Ford F250 SuperDuty XL. It's about time to change the fluids in my transfer case and axles. I've been considering installing an Eaton TrueTrac in my front Dana Super 60 axle. I've installed and used them for years on my Jeeps with...

My last post applies to you as well. Thank You
