The angle blade is good for moving loose stuff off to the side. The box blade has sides on it so the dirt or gravel stays in there until your ready to let it out. You can back into a pile, grab a box blade full, and move it across the ground where you want it without it depositing much of anything in between. Usually you will raise it slightly and while moving it will deposit it evenly, thus leveling the dirt or gravel. I grew up using a box blade on a Ford 8N 25 years ago (the Ford was an antique even then!). I think it is a fabulous landscaping tool. Plus you can lower the teeth and actually dig up hard packed ground and really do some excavating with it. Your probably not gonna dig a tank or anything with a small box blade, but its a great tool.<br>

That sounds real good to me. I assume the tractor does not have a loader.

My Kubota manual says to change engine oil, filter, transmission oil and filter at 50 hours. It is an HST (2710).

I have a Kubota B2710 only a month old and there are some things I would like to do with expensive implements that I don't need to use often enough to justify purchasing. Particularly I would like to do some backhoe work, but $6,000 is awful steep for something I would use only occasionally. I also need to use a tiller and post hole digger on rare occasions.<br>My question is, can you rent this stuff? If so, where should I look to find them to rent, and how much for a day would I expect to pay?<br>I know you can rent a tractor, and would hope an implement would be a lot less since I already have the tractor.<br>I already own a loader, shredder, finish mower, and box blade.

I have no experience with a belly mower on my Kubota B2710, but I really like my 3-point finishing mower (Rhino FM60) for the lawn. It costs much less than the belly mower and is easy to put on and take off. I can back it up under trees, where you would have to drive the whole tractor with a belly mower. I don't know how it could cut any sharper - I don't feel it lacks any in this area.<br>The finishing mower is very expensive and I would not subject it to the stuff my Rhino SE5 rotary cutter goes through. I used it on my rough pasture, not really because the ground is all that uneven, but because the weeds, brush, saplings,and grass are sometimes taller than the tractor. It doesn't bog down at all and does a good job. Of course it doesn't look like your lawn, but its a big improvement.<br>If your trying to cut it like a lawn, maybe you should plow it up and blade it so that it is smoother. Then you can used the belly mower.

I agree. I don't know which tractor I would have chosen, but based on the supply problem with JD HST tractors, I didn't even look at them - didn't even visit a JD dealer. I went straight to the Kubota dealer and bought a B2710 off the lot. I have no regrets so far.

When using my Rhino SE5 rotary cutter and my B2710, I set the RPMS about 1300, push in the clutch and pull the lever to engage the PTO, then I let off the clutch slowly to engage. Then I bring up the RPMs to mowing speed. When I push in the clutch to disengage the PTO, and in fact disengage the lever and get off the tractor, the blades and PTO on the cutter are still freewheeling for a short time and slow down gradually. The cutter had that round thing in the middle with two blades that flop in the breeze, of course getting to the extended position by centrifugal force. I have not experienced any of those noises some of you are talking about.

For what its worth, when I was looking for a tractor I saw an ad in the Dallas Morning News for a B1550 for $6,300. I called the used tractor dealer who placed the ad and he said it had been sold. He said it looked like it had been on the ocean floor. I take that to mean pretty rough. I went to the dealer and looked at a B7100 with about 500 hours and it looked to ME like it had been on the ocean floor and he was asking $6,900 for it. He said it was in a lot better shape than the B1550 he had sold earlier. All in all the $9,900 seems high for 1500 hours, but I'm not sure how high.

I have a B2710 with only 23 hours. I can't imagine having to shift and clutch to go back and forth when mowing, plus using the loader. The L2500 looks like a fine tractor, but I cannot equate it to the B2710 with the HST. What little extra yield you might get from the PTO with gear is probably imperceptable, but the thousands of times you change directions in the tractors lifetime will easily be perceptable. The only justification I can see for going with the L2500 is that it is a good buy - a fine tractor for less money.<br>This opinion is on the basis of using the HST, and not having test driven the L2500. I have driven gear tractors tho, and really appreciate the HST. I considered a used L2350 (the predecessor to the 2500 I think) on the basis that I didn't need the HST. One test drive on the HST sold me and I didn't even drive the gear tractors.

The tractor can mow but the Scag can't move dirt, till, etc. No dilemma in my book.

So..... your saying there is no downside to turf tires? Gee if I had known that I would not have gotten these R4s. They work great for traction but do tear up the grass a bit on turns.

What does a landscape rake look like? I have some woods with tall grass and lots of deadfall limbs and stuff that I need to get cleaned up so I can mow. How expensive an implement is it, and how do you go about it? I have a Kubota B2710.

I have a 5 foot Rhino cutter (SE5) I have only used about 10 hours or so. It has worked great in some real thick and tall weeds and honey locust trees. Some cedar elm, mesquite, and cedar trees also. I have 24 acres, about 12 of which is woods, the other half I mowed for the first time in 15 years. It was really a mess. I ran over trees about an inch or so and smaller - went around anything larger. I ran over some 2 inch trees accidentally with no problems, but I prefer to use the chain saw the bigger stuff. Plus, as far cedar elm, I want to keep them if they have gotten that big already.<br>Anyway, thats not a lot of use to draw from, but it seems to be a really good piece of equipment. I haven't sheared a pin yet. Pull it with a Kubota B2710.
