    Buying several Kubota tractors, building a Camp, and maintaining 69 acres of recreational/hunting property.

    Doubt you're going to get the sticker to re-stick and look satisfactory. You could try some clear automotive paint protection film and see if that will hold it on. Might be messy, but won't cost more than $2. Otherwise, you're looking at plastic paint that may hold up, or new plastics. It...

    Buying several Kubota tractors, building a Camp, and maintaining 69 acres of recreational/hunting property.

    Looks good! I've seen where car detailers would use peanut butter on faded black plastic pieces to bring back the color & sheen. Smear it on, rinse it off, something about the oils in it. You may be able to find a local or online print shop that can duplicate your serial number sticker to...

    (Shout out) Trailers near Richmond VA?

    Cindy and Countryside are great people to deal with, glad it all lived up to the hype ;) *note, I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy customer over multiple purchases*

    What to look for in a Skid Steer

    Like tractors, your servicing dealer can make or break a deal on a new or used machine. We've used Bobcat skid steers for years at my work. In the past 3 or so years, the local dealer and sales rep have just gone downhill quickly. We use Deere for all our backhoes and excavators, so I started...

    Make that burner Facebook burner account yet?? 😄 Plenty of box blades out there, might even find an implement dealer near you you didn't know existed.

    Even a light percentage of a high-quality UV tint would help. If you don't want to go 5%, even 50% would help significantly and wouldn't be pitch black from the outside.

    Dump trailer questions

    At the water treatment plant where I work, we have a 20+ foot dump truck that all the fine solids are dropped into during the treatment process, think sticky, silt/mud, & organics. We installed a liner specific to dump trucks that allows that stuff to not stick and empty the truck, but we also...

    In search of a better truck for towing the M6060 and folding cutter.

    Totes are a great idea, I always used milk crates in my weather guard and TWS boxes. Was going to suggest a rubber mat or scrap carpet in the bottom to help keep things from sliding as easily.

    In search of a better truck for towing the M6060 and folding cutter.

    Sounds like a sweet trailer, do you mind sharing how much you won the auction for? If/When I get a dump trailer, a roll-up tarp, and a solar panel will be high on the list. I would not bedline the inside of the dump box. Depending on what you're hauling and dumping, it will have a tendency to...

    Anyone here have a Kaufman dump trailer?

    Surplus Center sells the two-button dump bed switch pendants, they might also have a long lead. I like the idea Evil Twin suggested with a second controller in the cab and a plug at the back you hook up when opening the gate.

    About the same where I'm at in VA. My grass is still trying to come back from dormancy but another 2 weeks or so I'll be looking to mow I'm sure.

    We need rain, bad. Our region is 5-10" below average for rain.

    Anyone here have a Kaufman dump trailer?

    Uhh, I really want a dump trailer! I've had my buddies at my house the past 5 weeks while he does some work on our basement, so handy. I really like the placement of the ram on the Sure-Trac. I've gotten a little aggressive with weight on my buddies that has a single, non sissor ram towards...

    l2501 Box Blade Poll

    https://www.ruralking.com/rk-by-king-kutter-5-box-blade-with-5-shanks-red-bb-60-rr The 60" "Rural King" branded king kutter I picked up 3 years ago is 475lbs. I also only paid about $600 for it then. I've stopped my tractor from getting too greedy. In my opinion, the width should always...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I bought a box blade at first, was great to bring my driveway back to life after years of neglect by the previous owner. It's also been handy around the house for other dirt-moving projects and loaning out to buddies. Last year I bought a land plane for the driveway and man it's so much easier...

    Make a burner account just for marketplace...I've encountered several people who have it just for that. I've been on FB since 2005 and for the past 3 or so years I only use it to buy and sell on marketplace. You just gotta be quick to grab the deals, they don't last long. There's a New...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Prowl Facebook Market Place for a used one. Although, I only paid $1300 for my Catawaba 60" landplane last year, picked up from a local implement dealer. Think my box blade was $600ish from Rural King 2-3 years ago. Using both, the land plane is infinitely easier to use and better for...

    New Tractor Tugger

    The cost of trucks is ridiculous these days. Plus whatever the dealer has on the lot is the most optioned-out version possible. In my opinion, a crew cab XLT has all the bells and whistles any average truck user could ever want, especially when compared to work trucks of yesteryear. But the...
