Hi All,
I am brand new to this forum, I'm looking to buy my first Kubota, ideally a 4WD B7100HST with mid-mounted 48" mower. I've seen a couple over here in the UK for around the £2300/USD3700 price range but they have upwards of 4000hrs on the clock, also I have no way of knowing how old they are. I have compared them to others I've seen online but all I can go on is the style of the decals and wheel nuts... Is there a definitive way to ascertain a tractor's age? (notice I didn't say "date" them... as that has a different meaning on the US side of the pond.)
I'm kidding myself (and my wife) that I'll use it to cut the grass in my 2.5 acre garden but I suspect my current ride-on mower may do that better. I have wanted a tractor since I was a very small kid but I don't have the storage facility for a full-size Massey Ferguson 35 so I thought I'd get the next best thing and go Orange.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Curly
