    I am having a hard time shaking the idea. In addition to it possibly being a stupid purchase , how stupid would it be to keep it outside/out of sight under a tarp year round? This might both please the wife and quell my diesel addiction.

    ISSUE RESOLVED, Well I just spoke with the seller and the height with the ROPS folded is 81 inches and the seat height is 68 inches. My garage opening is 80 inches. That tractor needs a barn. A bit disappointed. Thanks everyone for the advice.

    Thats how I feel. Depending on purchase price it may represent significant value. A new set up like this would cost almost $30,000. These "Grand Series " tractors are more complicated, lots to go wrong. So far not a lot of complaints though. Thanks

    Would it be less versatile than the less manly and somewhat similarly priced BX?

    An additional thought. The L3240 with the 72 inch mowing deck weighs about 3,900lbs .With the loader as well it weighs 5,300lbs. That is the same weight as my GMC pick up truck! More than twice what a BX2680 weighs. Is this something to consider?

    You might want to check the 'Everything Attachments' website. Lots of good info on sizing implements, you could even call them. They seem to know what they are doing. I have delt with them.

    Closer to 2 1/2 acres in the suburbs. I have cut it with a small 22" self propelled Home Depot mower when the Steiner was "down" a few times. I felt like I had the flu afterward. Over 4 hours I think. I am 58 years old and not fat either. (for now) I could also possibly till a few human food...

    I have an old Steiner with a 72inch deck now and it takes an enjoyable 1 hour to cut the grass with a Budweiser in my belly.

    I would offer less. I would employ the "circumcision paradigm" which simply states you can take 20% off of the top of anything without causing any harm. I agree it is a lot of money.

    Hello everyone, I have been looking for a used Kubota tractor to use primarily for mowing about 2 acres of mostly open yard once per week here near Pittsburgh PA. I also have about 10 large dying trees that a loader would be handy although not really necessary in dealing with. If it ever snows...

    The clear fuel filter before the fuel pump appears full during its dying phase. I have also blown into the tank with my mouth while engine is in dying phase in an attempt to further diagnose the problem. No luck.

    Steiner 425 / Kubota d950 Trouble

    At first I think it was running hot and slowly lost power after about 10 minutes. Thats what led initially to thermostat related efforts. Now it runs for about 5 minutes slows as if fuel starved and stops. When it starts after having set for an hour it runs ok for 5 minutes but never seems to...
