Thats quite some shot. You in the boat during that ride? If so, tell us about it.<br>
<br>
The return ride from a jump like that is usually a real hull craker.<br>
<br>
The Coast Guard used to have a photo much like that. They had one of their 44 foot rescue boats and goot it a bit higher in the air than your photo. The shot was taken of a Boat off the Oregon Coast in the winter of about 1972. I talked to the captain who did the deed for the shot. The boat almost did not recover from the fall as it displaced so much water on the fall, it almost submerged. And that rescue boat, was designed to survive stuff like that.<br>
<br>
So lets hear you story.<br>

You are right. I have not taken delivery on the tractor yet as I need insurance first. Kubot'a Insurance will cover the loan only. Though I have about $250,000 of coverage for my personal property, the new Farmer's agent will not cover the tractor. We are looking at other insurance companies. As for the loaning, ya, under normal circumstances I do not lend or borrow, except I was borrowing his tractor for the last 20 years, it would be hard to say, you can not borrow my new tractor.

I have talked to a lot of dealers in my research. Many of the internet dealers had much better prices than my local dealers, but then after considering the cost of shipping the unit, the local dealers were in the ballpark.

If you are able to drive and tow back, you can get some great internet deals unless like me, the tow would be 1800 to 2200 miles. I have done a lot of towing of farm implements over the years, and it is no where close to as easy to tow as a travel or horse trailer. 1800 miles is a very long tow just to save a few $$.

I decided to go with and order my B2410 from the local dealer. I asked and got a commitment from them to pick up and deliver back the tractor or any of my implements free of charge for any service work needed for as long as I own the tractor. I figured that working with the local dealer would be more cost efficient in the long run.

Then at the last minute, they asked if I wanted a B2710 for the same price I ordered the B2410. This was just being in the right place at the right time. They are putting the R-1 tires right now on my new B2710.

During my research, I had my dealer deliver two different configured B7500's, both with loaders.

For drill, I swapped the loaders just to see how easy it was. Took me about 15 minutes two switch both loaders first time out. It is really easy. The hardest part was lining the tractors up for the swap.

The B2710 R-4 tire rear tire size is 12.4x16. The R-1 tire is the same 12.4x16 size. Are these tires actually the same height?<br>
<br>
My soil has a lot of clay content. Do you know which tire fould be better for that type of soil

Just when you think it is done, it starts up again.<br>
I go Kiwis (the fruit). My vineyard is planted and trellised with a pergola system that has wires running horizontally through the field at about 6 feet off the ground. These wires are very, very strong and have very little give.<br>
<br>
In chosing a tractor, it is important both the tractor and the driver, me, fit under these wires. The tractors I have tried all had foldable ROPS. <br>
<br>
I had the Kubota dealer deliver a B7500 with R-4 industrial tires for demonstration and both it and I fit under the wires just fine, but it turned out the B7500 did not have the features I need, so I moved up to a B2410. Since the dealer did not have any instock, I roughly calculated the clearance of the ROPS and me and think we both will fit under the wires. <br>
<br>
So, I decided to order the B2410. Now I am wondering since it's industrial tire size appears to be the same tire as the B2710 (per my dealer's spec book), if the B2410 and I will fit under the wires. And these tires are a lot taller than the B7500's tires.<br>
<br>
Now for the twist, Well, the dealer has a B2710 that comes off flooring and is willing to sell it to me for the same price as the B2410. It appears to be just an inch or two too tall for me to fit under the wires and it appears from measurements that the tractor will clear the wires by a few inches. This unit has R-4 industrial tires also. I am having it delivered next week for testing.<br>
<br>
I can also use R-1 Agricultural tires as my application is purely agricultural. I almost never will be off dirt. <br>
<br>
My question is to you guys or gals who own a B2410 or a B2710, could you measure from the ground to the top of the cleat and tell me how tall your rear R-1 Agricultural tires are? Then I can compare to the R-4 tires and determine if a switch in tires will give me the clearance I need. The dealer said the R-1 Agricultural tire is an inch or two shorter than the R-4 Industrial tires, but we did not have any to measure<br>
<br>
Thanks for the help<br>

If they are an inch or two shorter, then the B2710 will probably work. <br>

I am in the market for a new tractor. The closest Kioti dealer is about 120 miles away. Locally we have most of the other major tractor dealers including Kubota.<br>
<br>
On paper the CK20 HST looks like a nice tractor, but I have been unable to find one to test drive.<br>
<br>
Though the CK 20 HST seems to have the power of a Kubota Compact tractor B7500, it appears from the pictures to be more of the physical size of Kubota's subcompact tractors.<br>
<br>
In the Kubota line, the B2410 or the new B7510 fit my specs the best.<br>
<br>
How does the CK20 HST compare. The Kubota has a turning radius of about 7 feet (84 inches) How about the CK20?<br>
Does the CK20 HST have one pedal like Kubota or two like John Deere?<br>
<br>
Does the CK20 have position control for the 3 point?<br>
<br>
I am located near Fresno CA. One dealer I talked to wanted $15,900 for a CK20 HST with a loader. The other wanted $14,000. Are those reasonable prices? From the web, it appears I could get a much better deal if I drove either to Texas, Michigan or to Alabama to purchase the tractor, but then that is about a 3,000 round trip.<br>
<br>
Is the CK 20 HST as durable and reliable as te Kubota?<br>
Thanks for the help

Can anyone explain the difference between the position control of the B2410, B2710 or B2910 and the 1/4 inching control of the B7800?<br>
<br>
On a 9N Ford, the 3 point has I belive position control. Is that correct?<br>
<br>
Does the Kubota position control include a stop screw like the 9N?<br>
