To me the best place to get a current price on a tractor is Machinery Pete, Tractor House, Auction Time, Big Iron. After a quick Google I think at 18K you are pretty light. I understand the friends and family thing and have sold a lot of bigger ideas to friends over the years because they knew...

I do a lot of bush hogging. Normally 200-400 hours a year. I keep our farms mowed up. The first two summers I had the MX6000 I ran a seven foot mower on it doing some water ways and some road ditches about 100 hours each summer. The rad screen set up is bad Always having to stop to clean it out...

I have bought one extended warranty in my life and it was in 1980 Cummins had just started the Recon program on their engines and I had just lost a main bearing on a engine in a truck. I was a young man with lots of borrowed money. I bought the extra warranty to take it up to five years or five...

Just some more food for thought. I must be missing something. I just don't see where your going to use a truck enough to go with a F-650 or F-750. To me its time to decide if you have the time and desire to do mowing and some hauling of rock or what ever for other folks and is there any money to...

I have a friend that has a fleet of these years pickups on his farming operation and has used this rebuild guy several times and have zero issues with his work.

I will throw out my thoughts. I know DOT is fed but every state is a little different. In my state Nebraska you have two ways you can plate that F-650. Farm or commerical the way to go personal is it would have to be a RV. This truck is not a toter. If you can't go farm your going to have CDL...

I think for a lot of first time tractor, acreage buyers budget plays a large roll in the size of tractor they buy. The cost of moving from town to the country is already a shock and then buying a larger tractor on top of that just may not be in the budget. I have a friend that has a five acre...

I had a Kohler we switched over to a carb and even using a 4-7 PSI pump I still had to install a regulator after the fuel pump and turn it down to 2 PSI or on a warm day it would flood the engine sometimes. After installing the regulator I never had another issue and its been running for years...

I know where there is a 1979 JD 4440 that has had 1000 pounds of front weights on that tractor since it left the factory. The only two tractors I have that don't have front weights on all the time are my JD 2006 7320 and my Kubota MX6000 and they both have loaders on them year round. I not...

I ran a NH 495 12 Ft for a number of years. A lot is going to depend on what you are cutting. I used to cut a lot of brome and prairie grass with it. I mostly ran it with a JD 3010 diesel and it was a load. The JD 4020 worked better. The L6060 should handle it but you probably won't be running...

So a quick up date on my MX6000 fuel separator bracket. So a while back I called my selling dealer and the service manager was at school that week so the next Monday he called me back. Talked to him about the bulletin. He said he would look into it but with the Kubota system down it would be a...

Scottly The building really looks nice. I have rebuilt a fair amount of pole building over the years. In my area the post like to rot off a ground level have repaired them several ways over the years. The last one we did sits right by the road by my driveway to the house. It is a 40X64X13. It...

Back in the sixty's and seventy's most semi tractors had shutters in front of the rad. When air to air coolers went in front of the rad shutters were gone. In eight's and early ninety's I dove a lot of diesel cars and small diesel pickups. Had several VW rabbit cars and trucks and Chev love and...

No magic answer that I know of. I have run a fair amount of equipment with Curtis cabs and they make a nice one. During the 60's and 70's when there weren't many cabs on tractors there were several company's that made them there long gone now. I have been around more than my share of tractors...

If it were me I would fab up a cab on that tractor and use it. What have you been using for your snow removal? You know the tractor and it looks to be taken care of. I don't know your area for price but I never trade to dealers. Always can do better selling private. I could probably make a...

First welcome to the forum. I have had my MX6000 with loader since June of 2021 and am way north of couple thousand hours at this point and time. No common problems I know of. Mine has never been back to the dealer. Most of my hours are put on with a three point carrier on it fixing fence and...

I have pushed al lot of snow on concrete with chain on but I am not running anything with chains on it on my concrete. A green slab like that and chains are not going to play nice. Back before FWA tractors I always had a set of chains on a tractor to feed cows and push snow on the rock drive way...

With that much in 20 hours I would sure check my air filters. I would go to a muffler shop and have a piece of pipe made to aim that smoke down but I hate cleaning diesel smoke off stuff. LOL

I grew up in the fueling selling business and have dealt with a lot of water in diesel. Its no fun and can cause a lot of issues. When you say a drum are we talking 55 gallons or less? If 55 gallons or less I would just like the water settle out drain off the water and I would take the diesel to...

If it were me I wouldn't buy that trailer with the 7K axles I had one years ago and it seemed we were always to heavy on that trailer. Finally put heavy 17.5 tires and wheels and that helped. I even added a third 7 K axle to trailer. The trailer I had was a 30 Ft with a 5 FT tail with mega...
