Well, we got a little bit of a thaw today - went out to what I thought was the dryer side of the rear of our lot - and almost got stuck in deep mud. Just kept it going, and pushed down on the differential lock, and got out of it as fast as possible. I don't really know how deep it goes till I hit hard soil - but I will take a rod out first next time and see how far down it goes. I talked to a neighbor, and he used to plow it for the previous owner a severaal years back. He got his large tractor stuck, then got his other large tractor to pull the 1st one out, and it got stuck too. He then had a friend come in from a couple miles away to pull both out together. He said it was quite a sight! I can still see where the ruts were from 10-plus years ago! He said I will have to wait two weeks after everyone else starts.
But I did try the rototiller out - to loosen some soil so I could scoop it. This is to provide a drainage area. Man - you should have seen it - mud everywhere! THen I read in the manual, that if you can compact the soil with youur hand (like a good snowball) it is too damp to rototill. If it starts to fall back apart, it is o.K.. They didn't mention how it is when it oozes through you fingers......
I'll let you know of more adventures later.

Regarding this type of situatioon, if the cylinder wall are scored or damaged, could they be re-bored?
Also as an alterrnative, has anyone ever had a diesel that had new cylinders sleeves put in? This requires the cylinder to be bored and then a sleve installed that makes the cylinder the original appropriate size.
I am just mentioning possible options, but my exposure to small diesels are new and limited.
I'm not sure of the cost to block replacement value.
If I am way off in this area, someone let me know. It is the only way I can learn.

Can anyone help me with the value of a Kubota L3250 (1988/89?), with loader. I am looking at one for about 13,000. It is a 4wd, has 800 hours on it, good bar tires (loaded-calcium) and is in pretty good condition. It has the SSS transmission. It is 40 hp (32 at the PTO). There seem to be very few of these around, so it is hard to compare, and since it's about 12/13 years old, I'm thinking it's a little overpriced. If anyone can help me, it would be appreciated. Also, if you know the replacement model, let me know.
