    Kubota or Kioti ?

    Curbster I've had that old truck since 1993. It's plowed snow every year since then except this year. I never lost a tranny, rear end or anything for that matter so It's been a great truck. I've always looked after it though. It's been washed about three times a weeks for years. It's undercoated...

    FEL Custom built end caps

    Mr.K it's true what you say about welding and fabricating. I do a lot of work for a poultry farm. They have a new egg grading station now and I've been involved in it since day one. When the plant goes down I end up machining new parts for it to get it up and running. Every now and then they'll...

    Modified bucket

    The bucket on the new tractor needed a snow guard. When the bucket was in the "Curled" position and the boom way up in the air a lump of snow could have fallen off the bucket and down on the hood or worst come through the windshield. Years ago I had that happen to me while I was operating a...

    Kubota or Kioti ?

    Thank Mr.K. The dealer has treated me very well no doubt about it. Over the past 14 years I've been in business I've done a few jobs for the owner of the Kubota dealership and although we haven't always seen eye to eye he knows that if I purchase something I have a tendency to keep it in top...

    Kubota or Kioti ?

    Here's why I decided to go with Kubota. Late last summer (2008) I decided to retire my 1993 GMC truck that I've used for plowing for 13 years and look into purchasing some type of tractor. The tractor will be used for only one thing and that's snow clearing. At the end of the winter it will be...

    Hello from Newfoundland

    Thanks Mr.K. I've put a lot of video's up on YouTube the last little while but some of them are not tractor related. Some are of my fabrication work that I've done and some more is of my hobby which is restoring old things such as Coke machines and vintage gas pumps. the link to all my video's...

    Hello from Newfoundland

    Thanks Mr.K. The "Kioti Killer" was put there for a reason. I had a Kioti ordered until I took a real close look at both the Kioti and the Kubota and as you can see the Kubota won. It killed the sale of the Kioti so that's where the "Kioti Killer" name came from. Glad you liked the tractor. I...
