Your new tractor will create new work and your neighbors will also find jobs for you to do. But after you have it a while you will wonder how you ever got any outside work done without it.

Kubota has a good reputation for quality, have not had any problems with mine. And i know other people with Kubota's and they have not had any trouble either. Good luck with your decision and if you have acres to take care of there is no such thing as too big of a tractor.

Hoping to close the deal this week for the new tractor.

Don't tell the wife... it`ll take a couple days for her to adjust, I think right around the time her garden is finished wink wink

Awesome thanks Ray!

One thing I`m really excited about is making my own attachments. It will be many fun projects smile

A "Man lift" will probably be among #1 since we need to replace some windows in my garage 2nd story, and also repaint the garage.

Looking forward to making a lot of fun stuff smile

PICS when it arrives.

While not exactly a man lift it sure beats moving a tall ladder,





This is a friends M68 and the building in the background is his garage. He hasn't started building the house yet. The end with the tower does have a small one bedroom apartment in it.

And i have used the bucket on mine with plywood across the bucket and the teeth to make a nice portable workbench or a platform to stand on.
