My neighbor has a Kubota B1750. Her husband drained the oil and tranny before he disappeared two years ago. I am trying to get it working for her. It has fuel, coolant and a new battery. Haven't found a manual for it so I am guessing. I have a Dodge diesel truck, but I don't know what needs to be done to make it ready to start. It will turn over, so I assume there are no safety switches that need to be put in the right place. How do I start this tractor and what levers, etc do I need to configure to move it? Really appreciate help. This very nice lady needs a break.

Thanks for the info, guys. I'm inclined to go with the box and scarifiers simply because I really want to dig this driveway up a bit and then smooth it out. Also, if my teensy neophyte tractor owner brain is correct, I can also use the box to really smooth out the few acres I eventually want to clear. Let's see - need grapples on the FEL to move those logs, I got the BH for digging out the stumps, FEL for filling the stump holes, and a finish mower for mowing my finely graded lawn, so I got it made. Now, if I'd just ordered that air conditioned cab and that Jethro Tull CD.....

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I ordered the Gary Ober book, and will be looking into grapples or some quick change forks.

I'm looking at the BX series and wanted to find out how well they do on the lawn after a rain. Do they leave ruts in the lawn? I guess it might sound like a silly question but I'll be using the machine primarily for lawn maint. I have a JD LT155 that weighs about 350-400 lbs. The BX is around 1200 I think. Will the bigger Turf tires help off set the diff. in weight with regards to how the machine effects my lawn?

TIA,
Craig

Hey Glenn, Just checking back. Looks like there's been a little more activity around this topic. All helpful info. I'll drop you an e-mail.

cvwiggs, Good question on the bush hog. I wasn't really sure on that either. I'm also unsure about the difference/purpose of a rear blade ans a box scraper? When would you use one versus the other? John any help here? Thanks in advance.

I think I've been reading this board too long, I'm starting to repeat myself. Did I mention the project I have coming up?
