Topic

I mow as often as possible, ground conditions permitting. I also go as slow as necessary but have seen no difference in the clumping. I believe it is because the rear discharge just allows the grass to clump and sit. With the side discharge of my other mower, the grass is jetted out and disbursed nicely. At least there is one hard lesson learned that I can share with others the next time the question comes up on this board.

Dealer is coming over tomorrow (Sunday) to bring back my tractor after servicing). He wants to see the lawn I'm worried about. (This is why I bought from him) Now, let's see what he thinks. I'll be back.

Today I used my loader for the first time without the backhoe on. Almost stood on its nose and scared the you-know-what out of me. Anybody have a plan for a ballast box or something to avoid this problem in the future? Thanks.

Yeah, thanks all. I don't want to get in over my head. I'll call the dealer tomorrow.

In a couple of days, Art's guys will be dropping off my new B7800 with loader, hoe and 72" rear finish mower. I can't wait. Thanks to all who helped with advice. I'm sure I will continue to have questions as I experience the world from the seat of my new Kubota! Thanks again.

I'm about to purchase a B7800 with a loader and hoe. The local dealers are quoting me prices with the 16" bucket. I will be using the hoe mainly for basic homeowner projects with an occasional ditch or stump removal for a friend who does some landscaping. Would I be better off with a smaller bucket (and also maybe save some money)? Thanks.

In some posts from last year, I saw a post about possible damage from backing up with a rear discharge 3pt finish mower. This has long been my preferred way to get into tight spaces with my ATV with rear mount (side discharge) mower. As I am about to purchase a CUT and a 3 pt finish mower, I would like to know if anyone has any updates on the subject. If I have to change to a side mount, I can. I just liked the idea of the rear discharge. Thanks.

Is that the brand that Tractor Supply handles? If not, is the brand at Tractor Supply any good? Thanks.

I am about to purchase a tractor with a loader and hoe. I am used to mowing the lawn with a Yamaha ATV with the PTO mower in the back. I don't have any trouble with looking back or swinging around obstacles. The only problem is running over the grass with 4 tires before trying to cut it. Therefore, the mmm is better in the respect that you only run over the grass with 2 tires. I have heard however, that it is a pain to install/remove the mmm. Any feedback or opinions on which mower to get before I make my choice? Thanks.

Yeah, Climber, I'm actually leaning now toward the 2710. I figure if Art's prices are as good as everybody says, I won't have to give up features to get power. I can have both in the 2710. I'm glad you told me about the ease of mowing. That was a large concern of mine. Any other information you have will also be appreciated.

Not only am I struggling with the problem of which tractor (see "which Kubota to buy") but I am also dealing with the issue of spending that much money in the first place. I really enjoyed reading some of these posts that point out the need to enjoy life. Thanks for taking a little of the stress out of the situation for me too, you guys.

Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry. I think I will probably spend the extra money and go with the Kubota B2410 or similar. I guess that you do get what you pay for.
