Because you have two tractors doing the same thing doesn't mean it is right. The bucket cylinders is the first thing to check.

[QUOTE=AV8R;96009] I have an additional question on this topic:How does the flow control to the 3pt factor into controlling the finish or use of a rear or box blade? [/QUOTE]

It doesn't really have anything to do with it other then the speed of the raise and lower.

For the average owner there are no advantages.

You would be far better off with a used larger chassis tractor. Minimum would be a B series and preferably the larger B series like a B-7800 or newer equivalent.

With the different snow blowers we sell some offer bolts that have grooves in them so when they shear they don't round out the holes as much and allow less aggravation with the holes rounding out and causing issues later.

From a dealers stand point. The model is a grey market tractor. They are around and there were people that did import them as well as more.

What it means to you. You can have difficulty finding some parts. The biggest thing is you can't walk into a dealer and expect him to have parts sitting on the shelves unless they used are on a US model and you provide the correct part numbers. The dealers have no means in the Kubota system to find out what the part numbers are. You might be lucky and be in an area that a dealer might have had experience with them and be of more help to you.

Of the compacts there are only a few makes that you might have much luck with but many get frustrated after a few years and move in to a US model.

Some people really know what tractors are who! LOL I believe that one might have been really made by mitshibitshi and you would have had or might have had better luck for info at a Mahindra dealer for specs and parts at this time.... So many built are still like this yet today!!

With changes in life lol me getting older last year I let my 034 stihl chain saw go. With the little use and gas issues making it harder starting.

My first electric was the cute little GTA 26 chain saw which kept me from needing the big saw to be fired at all for spring clean-up!

My wife was having nothing to do with starting the BG 85 blower so I bought a blower and now she blows of the deck and I don't have to! For Christmas I bought the chainsaw with the battery system to match so both are the big battery's are interchangeable as well as a small charger and a rapid charger.

So far I have not used them much but I feel that I made good choices and knowing that we have not had failures at work with the Stihl line-up I am confident that I'm ready to play for years in those wonderful golden years!

Dennis the tractor it is on is a grand L-6060hstc. The rear blower we are doing quite a few with at this point. 80" has been the most common we have sold to pro snow movers and this has been the favorite model. The front blade system is a time saver with it's versatility but it is not for the typical home owner as most want a loader on the front and costs less the same as the rear drive blower.

Ag tires have been the most functional for us on these tractors for driving over the deeper snow for removal. There are many makes and models of the blower at this point but these are standard back up to the garage door and pull away! Clean!!

Poor farmers fertilizer! Been said many times! On another note every time you leave the grass clippings on your lawn is a 7% boost in nitrogen!

That is a rare one as in our area the majority were all four wheel drive even on the small chassis. Typically only see the two wheel drive while in other countries.

It is hard to compare a good zero turn to a compact tractor. They both have different main purposes which they both do very well at but at the opposite ends of the spectrum they are not so good. There is a new player is the zero turns which we really have been enjoying selling for hillsides and that is the Cadet line of pro mowers with the steering wheels. Still zero turn but the fronts are not caster action and you do have control of them to direct the front steering. This helps on hills as well as wet spots to hold your line.
The compacts are physically larger then the zero turn and that is the start of the problem as well as the fact they lack the zero in the turn! I always push for people to buy the smallest tractor or power unit with the largest deck possible. That allows the deck to stick out further from the tractor making it easier to trim. It also cuts the size of the uncut circle when trimming.

A lot of it has to do with your location. In colder areas the condensation often will kill the oil before the engine will.

I know I am a little late coming to the party here but they tell me there is always one in the crowd!
Things have changed a bit since first meeting you fine folks! I learned a lot about what people wanted and needed here for compacts and I appreciate everyone's input through the years.
For me in the business I have been able to watch as the farm tractor sales by numbers drop and the horsepower go up in search of production and compact sales grow to replace them in smaller acreage and sell in even larger numbers! The business in itself has changed as we have more stores now. Third generation coming up and it is getting closer to my time to enjoy the time differently that I have. Listening to my wife i am again late by a few years as she is retired and watching her I figure it could get boring. She enjoys sitting on a beach in florida and reading a book and I still enjoy exploring! I figure we will manage as it is close to 35 years now together which is no mile stone for many lucky couples. When I first came to site I still had my parents and now i have grandchildren as life rolls on.
