    The big tractors sold here, bigger then the b series are made in Japan, shipped to the dealer and assembled.. there is a guy on YouTube that works at a dealer that is always posting vids of him putting them together.. There is also a plant in Mexico for big tractors made for south America...

    Buying Used at Auctions

    Only reason stuff goes to auction is the seller can't get what they wanted for it.. or it's a rental company or fleet vehicle that company does want wamt to deal with selling.. Stuff from what I have seen is usually worn out, or is in good shape and sells for more then what you could buy one...

    Making first tractor purchase

    If you are going to mow wet area I would opt for a belly or mmm mower rather then a rear finish mower.. Those mowers are heavy and the thin solid wheels will put ruts in the lawn and dig holes when you turn or back up in wet or soft ground.. the lx 2610su has no mid pto.. so no belly or mid...

    Bought my first Kubota. Was it a mistake?

    I'm kinda thinking that dealer might be funky.. no way kubota can't send them a complete trans.. seems very dumb for kubota to pay a dealer for all that time to crack open a trans and rebuild it when they can have someone at the factory do it in 20 minutes.. I would get on the phone to kubota...

    Exploring BX1880 - Assistance Please

    I would highly recommend getting the bx2380 or 2680 with the loader, the extra hp and tq will be needed especially for snow blowing, that and resale value will be more. The 1880 is 12 hp at the pto, only comes with a 54 inch deck, 2380 is available with a 60 inch mower. They all have the same...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Gave the l2501 its first soapy bath.. last time I used it was to level out a area for a 20 foot container next to palm *bushes * may of greased the loader a bit much, well that grease got on the trees and then smeared grease all over the front and sides of the tractor hood, fenders, and loader..

    Shipping, or transporting then from the boat to the dealer is probably the difference
