The opinion of another internet expert that I didn’t ask for, want or need.

I have some tight spots I wouldn’t be able to get to in my wooded areas with an L series. It’s all tradeoffs.

“Anybody have any experience with the Homestead Pinnacle grapple?” “Get the wicked”, “I have the EA, best there is”, “Hardox”, “derp”, “Buy the wicked”, “Everything I have is EA, you should do the same”, “derp”. Like clockwork every single time. Lol.

The B or LX will do all that you need. The LX will give you a bit more weight and “comfort”. The L will give even more weight but sacrifice some nimbleness. Sit on and test drive them all to see which feels best for you…….remember you may be on it for many hours straight so comfort and...

I carry a pair of needlenose pliers in my toolbox to make quick work of the clips for when I’m wearing gloves. It’s a bit tight where they are. I don’t adjust them enough where the slight inconvenience bothers me at all. If I’m leveling a fresh area I’ll drop the tines to bust the ground up then...

What pins do you speak of? For the tines? Same as yours I’m sure.

Yeah, I don’t think the EA has any advantage over the Woods except I think they use an easier adjustment system for the tines instead of the pins but I don’t find the pin system to be a problem and the Woods weighs 130 pounds more so that was a wash and then some. Oh, they call it “wicked” so it...

Good call! I have the 60” Woods on my LX. It is great ballast and handles whatever grading/leveling I need with ease. Unless I need the 3 point for something else ot is always on.

What do you need this tractor to do? Needs on 10 acres can vary from an LX (since a cab was specified) on up? Most say “get the biggest you can afford” but I prefer “get the smallest that will reasonably do the job”.

My opinion……..get a zero turn to mow. A used commercial in good shape can be had for about what the Kubota MMM goes for and will cut better with less ground damage, do it faster and with more comfort.

More boring tornado tree cleanup today. This opened up another trail. I foolishly thought it was 4 or 5 trees blocking but it was more like a dozen. I am really only cutting the trees to open up the trail again and leaving the rest to rot for nature. It’s mostly pine so not much use for me...

That’ll work. Good for them!

That, to me, means a new engine or they buy the whole thing for fair market value.

Ummm, no. That engine needs a complete teardown. I’d be pushing for a new engine.

When shopping I found the treddle pedal was my biggest hang up after switching from my trusty JD and also preferring the dual pedals. Once using my new Kubota I quickly discovered that it was a non-issue and using it becomes second nature quickly. If I had to choose now I’d say that I have no...

I have always heard that the 3 point hoes aren’t good for a tractor. Too many stresses on weak points. I imagine if your uses are light duty you’d be ok.

Just 3. Bucket, grapple and box blade. I’ll buy more as I need. Back blade, tiller and a chipper are on the horizon and maybe a cheap-ish set of forks but that’s probably about it.

That was my hangup along with the 100% payment upon ordering. I had 100+ trees down (tornado) when I got my Kubota in February. My cleanup is not finished but all of my trails are open and my property is usable now and has been since late March vs. in the late Summer because I was able to get a...

My tractor would be far less useful without it’s grapple (Virnig).

For those that have sent me PMs for the manual. I have been tied up fixing a nightmare pool return leak under concrete so sorry for any delays. I have tried to send it to anyone that has requested it but there seems to be some issues that make zero sense to me. Wolfman said it worked for him and...
