Just curious as to how adding additional wheels is more negative in terms of stress than say filling the rear tires with liquid? The weight and work required to make them rotate would be identical if not more right?

The JD dealer I dealt with was dogging on Kubota for being Japanese. (Umm Yanmar anyone?) That was the last conversation I had with them.

Thanks for the clarification. Your profile says 3 point blower and you were referring to the mount as a quick hitch. Sounds like an interesting setup. I have a blade, but it is just a frame that attaches to the rear hitch and the mower deck lift arms. Your setup sounds much beefier. Good on...

Is this a front or rear mount thing? Just curious what the quick hitch is. Can you post photos?

As biased as I am with Kubota, youre doing good with going with JD at this point. Tell that to your Kubota dealer. Hey come get your tractor. I’m going with JD now. Maybe they will speed things up.

Just sell the debris blower and get a back pack leaf blower. I have seen guys with Wheel Horses rig up a fan on the front thats just pulley driven. Im sure something like this is possible on the G... you just need a pulley 90 degrees from the PTO pulley. The fan setups ive seen have the pulley...

I agree with jkcolo. You need to take that thing back and/ or call the dealer ASAP. They may tell you to pound sand since it***8217;s been used though.

I have no interest in stalking the guy. I stated I didnt know a difference between the 2 models and he answered me.

Ive not see it before.

Id be taking it back. My tractor was right out of the box. In fact, I have a photo of it on its Property of Kubota Metal skid with no wheels, ROPS etc. Sun fade absolutely is not acceptable on a new tractor or implement unless some discounted deal is made. Of course I am brand biased, but I...

$7500 for me with the BH, smaller bucket and just the BH necessary plumbing.

If your dealer is just laid back, I would deal with it. If they are genuinely trying to scam you, I would find another dealer. Mine is very laid back. I could share my blade sob story, but I will spare you all. I was becoming very frustrated at the end, but it just wasnt worth it. My dad had...

Check eBay. Did you check Messicks too? I find it hard to believe that part has been discontinued. That p/n perhaps, but Kubota can have several part numbers for a single part. Some are serial number specific btw. Also, what did the shop mean by too thin? If my Gs ever need a new radiator...

Any reason why you dont want the Kubota p/n? The manufacturer is possibly Koyo. Nice tractor by the way. I grew up driving one all around mom and dads place.

Thanks everyone. Glad I asked first. I have thought about something like this as well. Wheel Horse made a front mounted generator thing. No idea on the output, but same concept nonetheless. For now, I’ll stick with a come along and good old fashion manual labor.

Aside from a cab, is just going up to the smallest grand L that big of an upgrade? If you just want the cab, go for it. If you are wanting more power and a cab, i would wait on the M you mentioned or look into a larger L. The smaller size of the L would be my preference but only you know your...

If it was used to spread salt and is terribly rusted, I would pass for that reason alone. The hours would not bother me.. Perhaps you can talk the seller down a bit though. I am assuming it is 4 wheel drive?

Would a G5200 be capable of running a 3000 lb winch for say 2 hours straight? I’m assuming it’d need at least medium throttle. This setup has a dynamo/ generator vs an alternator and I’m unsure if it’s capable of such loads. I plan on hooking the winch to a tree and just powering it with the...

My dealer seems to take a while on non stock parts as well. I either deal with it or buy online.

Speaking of goofs, I was unloading forks from a trailer when they got away from me and slammed into my grille guard. Thankfully it was the headboard/ SSQA plate and not the tines. Would have went through the radiator and into the fan. I told the wife its too bad I didnt have a set of forks to...
