Chuckles, what is the matter with a BX Kubota, low profile, has all the attachments of the bigger tractors and close if not equal to the manuverability of the lawn mower. I don't see a need for a bigger tractor here unless it is for a bigger blower.

you do have a slope, that is all you don't have a hill, nor anything to worry about with a B series tractor as far as the grade. Nice looking setting by the way!

Can I run a B7500 across this slope

Good oil is the first step to the engine not having much wear when starting. Cold engines do let partially burnt fuel into the base to affect the quality of the oil. To allow them to run for five minutes of idleing when in use is not a problem. To let them sit and run for 10 to 15 minutes while doing other labor is excessive.

To let idle or cut off that is the question

If I'm tight quarters while working give me a hydro. Thats for mowing and loader work. If you are going out to the big back forty and skid some logs off the hill, have 20 acres to be brush-hogged over hill and dale, give me a glideshift. Sorry boys that is where satisfaction levels are the highest! Unless you have a bare pocket and a broken down 8N then go for a economy tractor like the L-3000 and you will still notice a big improvement.

Craig, there is a big difference between thse two tractors and a lot of it depends on you. Can you work with a gear drive tractor after driving a hydro to mow with? How much are you doing that you need to move up to a 790?

So, is no one going to 'fess up'? Seriously, from what I understand, the gentleman who called my dealer was disappointed when the quoted price for a B7800 was more than what I paid. My salesman assumed this gentleman and I were acquainted since he had all the 'dirt' on what I paid, etc. William (salesman) called me wanting the guy's name and phone number to provide an updated quote. He (William) talked to the owners of the dealership, and got approval to sell the B7800, and loader for the prices I posted above. The MMM would be slightly higher as there had been a price increase on this item from Kubota. The mystery caller had to have gotten the info from this site, so come clean!

This is like a good whodoneit!

Chief, I think that part of the manual was written by lawyers. My choice for ballast is filled tires (water), two sets of wheel weights (these stick out 1/2 inch past the tires [standard size R4s]), and always an implement on the back. If I'm going very high with the loader, I make sure the implement is one of the heavier ones, like the box scaper or the 55 gal spayer, filled with water.

I had my reservations some 10 years ago about the "portable buildings". Eventually, I decided to get one for several reasons, the two main reasons were a) cost and b) taxes.

I wanted to put up a building that could accomodate my tandem flatbed trailer with tractor and Bhoe intact on the trailer, as well as my tandem dumper and other "stuff". The ending result was a "portable building" that measured 10 feet on center, 24' x 22'. I can't say for any other area of our country, however, here in the NE, property taxes are ridiculous. The tarp covered tubular frame, is not subject to annual property tax, because it is considered to be a "portable building".

It is a Cover-It brand building, designed with heavy snow bearing structure. I have had 3feet of snow and ice on it with the wind shaking the bejeebies out of it, ten years and counting!
Good luck with yours Chief

I agree completely. I learned this one the hard way myself on a motorcycle. I did get my bike back and the joker did go to jail but it was a huge head ache and my bike was pretty beat up and worth a lot less $. I now only take checks and money orders in advance and I insist on a tw week clearing period. The only exception is a US postal money order and I still get that up front but you can cash them on demand at the post office. If you get a joker that pulls a scam with one of those its a Federal offense. A few years ago I sold a couple of Jet skis and the couple that bought them had a poop fit about bringing cash. My response... No Cash no title or bill of sale you get nothing, and yes I do check those bills. They showed up with a check and were showed the door. I guess they thought I was a push over but I said there are three banks within 1 mile, go get the cash or get lost.

well, i have baught the kk tiller a few weeks ago, and i am very impressed. The only problem now is i am out of places to till up!!! I have tilled about two acres so far, some for garden, some for new lawn, and I love the machine. The slip clutch works great, and it tills very deep. I run my 2 bottom over it first of course. I hit a huge rock (2x3x1) and the slipclutch worked great. It leaves a very good finish, even when wet or sod. Very easy to hook up on my tractor. The finish is not much to be desired(paint) but the unit is solid. I am wondering if landpride isnt pricing themselves out of the market. No offense, i have lp equip to and i love it as well. But im sick of paying out the nose for it!

Woodsman -
That is a good sounding deal, especially with a one year warranty...does that cover everything or just the drive train? Good luck with it!

Mark, thanx but for all the reasons above I sold off the Marlins I had. The 444 is just too brutal for me. I am planning on picking up a model '94 trapper in 44 mag next week. I do like the Marlin concept/deseign but I really think they need to put more fit and finish in their product. On The other hand they have a huge following based on a very affordable price tag and that is more than a fair price. I do like the Case colored cowboy special they came out with all though I am not sure which pocket protector pencil pusher came up with the brilliant idea of only chambering it in 38 special. Good grief at least use an actual origional caliber like 44-40.

Landscapeing is really a seperate issue and you may have to discuss a box grader Vs. a rear blade and add a landscape rake. For the remaining you will get a lot of opinions that often vary by the amount you want to spend on implements. I prefer a tiller but you will likely find many proponents of a disk.

It is noteable that the 2210 frame is a two piece lawn and garden style frame and not a solid tractor style frame. It has been my understanding that this is the reason that JD does not make or recommend a backhoe for theese.
