    Battery Life/Charge

    I am of the opinion that Interstate batteries are sourced from Brookfield Business Partners, some from Exide, and perhaps some also from Johnson in Mexico (source likely depends on where you live in the USA). We are certainly of similar opinion Re: Interstate. Interstate is simply a battery...

    Picture of your tractor on your trailer

    "Repairs on the DEF system"? Darn: I thought those DEF systems were foolproof!;) VERY nice looking trailer there!

    Battery Life/Charge

    "Wally World" does not sell any batteries that carry the Interstate name. Walmart's batteries are made by Johnson Controls to Walmart specifications. What must be remembered here is that there are only 3 major battery manufactures in the USA. Those manufacturers will put any name requested on...

    Battery Life/Charge

    I have found that the best battery bang for the buck is the Walmart "Everstart Maxx". They do not sell the "Maxx" in all sizes though. I got stiffed by Interstate while traveling in Canada, and will never buy another Interstate! Interstate is all about advertising hype.

    Are you ready for Winter?

    On November 13th I plan to leave bedspreads behind and head for Florida. No need for a Winter comforter there either.

    Battery Life/Charge

    I am afraid of the el-cheapo maintenance chargers. I have a fear of fire from cheap electrical components, and I leave my equipment unattended for months at a time, so I invest in only brand name chargers (no Walmart or Harbor Freight etc.) I have 4 Battery Tender 1.25Amp. units, 6 Battery...

    Buying a new tractor - what can I haggle?

    I have the feeling that a "bit nasty" dealer should be avoided under all circumstances!

    Purchasing Guidance

    "Implements included" Bucket.....don't all loader equipped tractors include a bucket? "Fork lift arms" = the loader? Chipper...., small chippers are not particularly useful. Post hole auger.....may be too small. I might value those 2 items that are real...

    Didn't think it would last long in this crazy economy! Everything used and good, sells fast!

    Purchasing Guidance

    With such low hours it would be difficult to make a good comparison. Does seem like $10K might be just a bit on the high side though. If you are genuinely interested, why not offer her $8.5K and see what happens.

    WTB backhoe for L4060

    A used BH will likely be almost as difficult to find as hen's teeth. Most who have a BH of any size or shape would never sell it, if they still own the tractor that it fits.

    Floor Pan Rust

    In my opinion, in many situations, paint is better than powder coating. High quality powder coating is great, but much powder coating is not high quality.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Probably not ... "done right"!

    Used or new BX 1880, older 2360, or just wait

    Early Spring is definitely the very best time to sell a used tractor. Next Spring should be great!

    Floor Pan Rust

    Any rubber mat on a tractor floor/deck, spells .... actual, or impending RUST!

    Floor Pan Rust

    If you leave the machine outside, you will definitely have a problem! If it is already rusty, clean as much off as possible, thoroughly prep the deck rust spots with OSPHO, then paint, and coat the deck with Herculiner. Throw the damx rubber mat away!

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    In my opinion, the Walmart Everstart Max batteries are the best bang for the buck. The "Max" is apparently not available in all sizes.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Thanks! That is our "Lady Sadie" We got her at 7 weeks, she turned 2 on July 24th., is spoiled rotten, and we love her dearly. She is crazy for the tennis ball, but recently has become addicted to a hose toy called a "Jolly ball". It is a 10" dia. non inflatable ball that weighs 2 lbs. It has a...
