KK is not the best built, but as far as price goes you can almost buy 2 for the price of some others.

I agree with all here , go as big as you wallet will let you . with that much land you never know what you might want to do, and you don't want to have to small of unit when you start brain storming.with 2o acers to mow I'd probly be looking at something with aleast 40 hp,larger if you can swing it.

Update on my orig issue. Kubota apparently received my letter documenting the screen fastener issue and contacted my dealer who called me and left this msg -

"Kubota corporate office received your letter and have it documented. They agree with me [dealer], just go ahead and run it. You still have plenty of warranty left. They have it documented in case of any future problems. Feel at ease. We got you covered."

What do you guys think?...should I take their advice or press for a tranny replacement?

Landini makes good dependable middle of the price range tractors. Owned by Argo,as is McCormick. Massey Ferguson did own Landini from the 60s until the late 80s or so. the Buhler deal is to supply badge-engineered Genesis tractors for European sales in Landini blue.

I just read a reply on this board that stated the horsepower rating of an engine is less relevant than it's displacement. In essence, the comment suggested less horsepower from a large cubic inch displacement engine is better than more horsepower from a smaller CID engine. I disagree, but maybe there is some truth here. I understand "torque" as the act of doing work, frequently expressed in ft.-lbs. ( or newton-meters for Metric fans). I understand the rate of doing work per unit time, ft.-lbs. per second, is "horsepower". So where does engine displacement come into play?

You have to realize that even if it's covered under your homeowners insurance it is unlikely to be covered for all risks. This means that if a tree falls on it due to high winds it will likely be covered (acts of God) but if you are falling trees and a tree lands on the tractor it won't be covered. Homeowners insurance is also not like auto insurance collision coverage - if you smack it into a tree or roll it your homeowners insurance is unlikely to cover it.

Here's a link to the same unit for $749, no sales tax, and free shipping. I thought about that unit, too, but decided against it because the Coleman PowerMate's really don't have a very good reputation. It has a lot of power at a very good price though. Be careful - there are a bunch of refurbished units on the market and they're not always labeled as such so be sure to ask them about that and make sure it has the warranty. If you go this route be sure to report back on how you like it. I may kick myself for not making the same choice as you.<br>

I have an 8 in bucket for my 7500 woods and if the dirt is at all damp the bucket will plug up and not come out without a pick.

I got mine from Gearmore but I think they were made by Rankin. They should price out closer to $300

They are useful, but keep in mind they reduce the amount you can lift with your FEL by 1/2 to 2/3's because they add a lot of leverage out front. And you will need some serious ballast to use them safely.

In retrospect, I wish I had bought there. I foolishly trusted the local dealer and by the time the truth finally emerged, Brock/Moen was all out of BX22's.

I ended up at Gold Country Kubota. The prices were not as good as Moen, but they were truthful and they knew what they were doing, unlike the local guy.

The 1750 will be better for snow, the bx has a better mowing deck, but the 1750's larger tires (if turf tires) offer a softer footprint. If you intend to keep the mower on the machine, check to see that there is enough ground clearence on the 1750 when the mower is retracted. for your other uses the 1750 will give you more power to the ground but the bx will be more manuverable due to its smaller size.
good luck...

I'm with Mark, it's the tires and the ballast that make it or break it, and maybe you the tractor also if you're not careful.

We regularly climb 45 degree slopes, sometimes much more than that, but never more than 45 unless we're running in tandem and then only with two VERY experienced operators.

Best of luck.

The only critters I have seen that can survive the E-ticket ride though the vacuum hose and the sudden stop at the other end are lizards. They even survive the negative pressure in the cannister when the hose is plugged.

You would think their little eyeballs would bulge out or something. Instead they wait patiently, sometimes for weeks, to be let out.

The risk of a crown or canopy fire is certainly dependent on where you live and drought conditions. I live in the Southwest US and I can guarantee that we will have a canopy fire somewhere in my state this year. We are in a drought and the conifer trees have plenty of resin and not much resistance to fire.

We get quite a few fires caused by lightning, but most are still man made from "controlled burns", smoking, arson, and negligence.

Ironpeddler, some of us PAY to be 'premium members' on this site, we do this because the Webmaster, Dennis, provides us with a wonderful forum and it's worth it to us.

If you also think this is a valuable resource to you might I suggest that you approach Dennis and inquire of his ADVERTISING RATES.

Tarps aren't too bad, especially if they don't go down to the ground. Special covers are made for some tractors but they are pricey. My 6-month solution (supposedly over one winter) was a 14' x 25' arctic shelter with an all weather cover. That temporary solution has been in place for 5-years so I guess it worked out OK or maybe it says something about me and my priorities.

My tractor does spend some summers unsheltered at our camp and doesn't seem the worse for wear. I just put a juice can over the exhaust, tip up the seat and hold it forward with a bungee cord. To me, having some shelter and lighting for working on the tractor is more important than keeping it out of the weather. I'd go for something that both the tractor and I could get under. I think I'm less weatherproof than most tractors and I also complain about it a lot more.
