The Kubota tractor is a 2004 L3130 with HST and R4 tires (filled). It has 29 hours and appears to be in excellent condition. Asking price is $12,500. Can anyone tell me if that is a fair price? Thanks!

I own an IRONHORSE I-224 and love it! It has been running great in the winter and summer. It has been very dependable in the field and plowing snow. Maintance is simple. It's been in use for over a year and a half - 200+ hours nothing to complain about!

I dated an artist for several years while at college. Gesso is what artists all use to prepare a canvas. It is a water base product that seals the canvas and has a somewhat rough/porous texture that all types of paints adhere to without bleeding. You should be able to find it at any store selling artist supplies or any university bookstore.

I would suggest preparing the canvas in the proper way to help the new artist in whatever way you can to encourage them. The tubes of paint are also somewhat expensive and they will need about a half dozen or more primary colors for mixing with a pallet wheel.

Maybe your artist will be famous some day.

I'm willing to bet there's a couple of spots on that spread where you could lay out a nice 2400'ish foot turf air strip.....

That way you could have an international hunter's B & B ...

Best of luck.

If it has a hydraulic clutch mechanism I'd lay my money on the slave cylinder having bad seals.

This is a fairly common problem on Ford 1 tons.

The seals in the slave cylinder go, allowing the fluid to escape around the piston, this allows the clutch to engage without releasing the pedal. Other times it either doesn't fully disengage or even move at all.

Some people just pour the reservoir full of Lucas Power Steering oil, but it's not great in cold weather and is only a band-aid anyway.

Pull the inspection cover if there is one, and have a look at what it's doing.

Best of luck.

Like Peters mentioned, we use old conveyor belting.

Conveyor belting is designed to stand up to a non-stop barrage from aggregates hitting it. We have some pieces that have probably got 6 or 7 seasons of commercial plowing on them, they are wearing down, but are still useable.

The other thing that helps a LOT is to use skid-shoes with any edge other than steel, that way the weight of the plow sits on the skid-shoes, not the soft edge. This way the rubber acts like a squeegie and merely wipes the surface clean, instead of being forced down into the surface and grinding away at the rubber.

If you ask nicely at a place that sells snowplows, or have a contact who snowplows, ask them, every plow sold comes with a set of skid-shoes that usually never get used, they will usually be able to scrounge you up a set. I know we've got dozens of sets of them in the shop.

Best of luck.

I think the coverage would be about the same with any brand. None of them will repair damage they consider to be caused by abuse. Accidental damage happens and you just learn to avoid it as much as possible.

Michigan's governoress, Jennifer Granholm has done nothing for our state except raise or put taxes on everything. She is in the process of selling of state land. It is a very time consuming and cumbersome way to buy land. They're trying to consolidate. They're hoping to sell off little pieces and swap with others to make larger mass areas. It takes more patience than I have.

Chris,

I can speak for the 2210, which is essentially identical to the 2305 in terms of capabilities.

a) pull a 5' boxblade, NO. I do have a smaller volumen wise 4' boxblade and that's all the machine really wants on the rear.

b) Pushing snow, I use the 54" front blade and it's awesome, you will not be dissapointed.

c) Cutting 6-9" grass, no problem, the machine is an animal.

I'm finally back. Now things can get back to normal for a while.
JD855, we were in Beijing for about 10 days so we saw the Forbidden City last week. Much of it needs a bit of maintenance but it's still beautiful. They are working on much of it though, I'm sure it will be done by 2008.

Mark, much of the populace now has a taste for money. They want many of the things that we take for granted. Right now labor is almost free when compared to the west but as the country becomes westernized that will change somewhat. But basically you're right, it is a sleeping giant.

Iowa and Ken, I don't advise driving there either. :)

One thing I noticed was that even with millions of bicycles there were almost no locks. People would put a bag down and just walk away for a while. There must be very little theft. We walked through much of the city over the time there and never felt unsafe.

I recently bought the 4200 with the 27hp Kawaski engine. I'm very pleased with it so far. I mow 6 acres reguarly and have a 900 foot driveway to clear in the winter.

I would have preferred the turbo diesel, but I just didn't want to spend that much. The 27hp seems to be very adequate for my use.

You can cheat a few extra inches of lift out of your limited cat. 1 by replacing the fixed length lifting rod with a second adjustable rod (see my pics). You could also park the rear tires on "ramp" built with wood planks or similar. However, I would highly recommend that you look at a digger built specifically for a sub-CUT, even if the only difference is a shorter auger bit. Good luck with the hunt and be sure to let us fellow sub-CUT owners know how it works out!

For moving stone and doing heavier work you can't beat some extra weight built in. The B-7800 is a lot of horsepower for the weight and is great for yard work The L-3400 as much as they are hard to find I think I'd be looking for that model.

Here are the features I wish for almost everyday.<br>

A horn - to get my wife's or the dogs' attention, or get them out of the way.<br>

A 4wd indicator light - I sometimes go 2-3 hours without realizing I forgot to take it out of 4wd.<br>
<br>
Less often, a lights indicator - It's hard to tell they're on during daylight hours.<br>

Today I was buried up to my axles in loose, sloppy clay. The diff lock didn't help. If I didn't have the F350 and logging chains, it would probably still be there. The R4's just spun. So now I'm thinking about a winch too!<br>
