He doesn't do much on here or TBN, he is still active on You Tube, he stays pretty busy with his projects and work.

Me too, he sure has helped me a lot.

From one of his last You Tube videos, he is becoming less enthusiastic about Kubota and indicated his next tractor will probably be the other orange.

What the hey is the udder orange? Husky?
negative, the one that howls!

I like what Paul has done with his kubota, very impressive and he is very inspiring. I agree with him about snow removal and other drivers they don't slow down at all, they don't care, I been out plowing my driveway on the edge and have had people blow by so close to me i could grab the rear bumper. Probably the number one reason I chose the kubota insurance.

You wouldn't happen to remember which one, would you? He has hundreds, and I'd like to hear his reasoning.

Allis-Chalmers?

(howling crowd)
Allis-Chalmers is truly dead. It was AGCO for a while and now what's left of it was folded into Massey-Ferguson.

The only other orange I can think of are Mahindra but that's even more red than Kubota Orange, but maybe Kioti, but those are both a decent step down from Kubota so I'm not sure why he'd be interested in those.

Here is the video to which I was referring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEsRzem3JqE

Paul and Kathy stay really bus on lots of projects in their personal and professional lives, they finished a labor intensive pond a bit ago and he really has more work offers than time.

I am sure he will check back in eventually, I too miss his posts and think he is one of the nicest most talented people around.

From what i saw on his website, Paul is a very talented individual. Im sure his time is in high demand. I could imagine free time is precious to him. Hope he is well.

Thanks for posting, it's an interesting video.
He and Kathy make really good videos.

I also own an L5740HSTC that I love, but I'm less enthusiastic about its replacement. I actually traded in a perfectly good L5030HSTC early to avoid the L60 Series.
