Makes sense to me...

What Oil To Use With Kubota

Thanks for everyone for all your input.<br>
<br>
I had a Grand L 4630 and hydraulic Bearcat chipper (72854) but since having kids and only being on a small piece of land it made no sense to me to buy a tractor of this size or larger again.<br>
<br>
I took into consideration the space between trees and palms in my yard and the B3030 was the choice when it came to spacing and operating issues.<br>
<br>
I went with the quick attach 54" bucket, forks, and chipper /shredder. So after going through a few hurricanes and the upkeep associated with South Florida's tropical climate and plant growth rate it made more and more sense to get some sort of unit.<br>
<br>
I was prepared to go larger but in the end I believe this is the right choice to maintain a 1.5 acre piece of land. I should take delievery before Sept. 1 <br>
<br>
Again, thanks to all, and boy, it sure feels good to be bleeding orange again!

I am kinda in the same situation although I keep coming back to Bearcat. Some may say they are not that good or they have their issues, but I cannot tell you how many times this week I have personally spoken to the service department and engineering department for Bearcat.

I have left a few messages and all phone calls were returned in a timely fashion- and my questions were asked. There is something about the Bearcat product that keeps me coming back for more. I have owend the 72854 and I must say that is an impressive unit. I currently am looking at the 73554 and the 76854 (16 blade 9" unit)...

I know it is just a matter of days but I will be bringing home another Bearcat.

I had this emailed to me this morning from a Kubota rep.<br>

The unit I really like is the 72854 / or the 76854 - but again I am only talking 1.5 acres here and it seems like the unit and tractor may be overkill...

I hate to drop down to a B series or a BX but being on 1.5 acres it may be the "sensible" thing to do and trash the rest of the debri...

Being in the computer business myself and witness to several clients who have "trusted" overseas transactions on eBay:

It is a bad deal.

They get your money, close the ebay account, and whamo- you are left high and dry.

'nuff said on this topic.

Yeah it is a shame- it looked like a demo. But what really bothered me is the fact that I was told it arrived in crate from Kubota, only to find out a dealer in Lakeland shipped it to Miami as requested by the Miami dealer.

Either way- I should have been asked about it but the unit looked like it was treated pretty rough.

It seems AnnBrush has an issue with BearCat as well as Winco- again sorry to hear your equipment is giving you so much of a pain.

But my post was not BS and I wonder how well you maintain your equipment, which would probably answer why you seem to have so many issues.

I maintain all of my equipment and keep it garaged.

Jeez- you must have a lemon. I have had then a while and have been impressed with the units. I have had zero issues with either unit. Sorry to hear that.

If it is a small piece of property with trees the boom can sometimes get in the way. I use a boomless sprayer with a spraygun for round up, fungus, inscect, etc.

I dont miss the boom at all.

I looked at the RTV900 today and at least here in Miami- no one seems to know how to order these units. I also looked at the 1100 as well.

The 900 is a great unit.

Have you looked at the BX24? I am sure the money you would spend on the BX23 the 24 could not be that far off...

Ok so now it has been over six months since I bought my L4630. So far I have been beyond impressed. This tractor is not only well built but there is not much I cannot do with this unit. <br>
<br>
I attached a BearCat PTO chipper(8") and have really been surprised with this as well.<br>
<br>
Looking back, the feedback on this board was wonderful. If you are considering a Kubota I would look into the L Series. Consider nothing less than a BearCat for a chipper.

I agree the classified should be viewable by all. But I do know that it takes a lot of money to keep a site like this going.

Besides do we all really care what you think of him or me or whoever. I am blessed to live in the USA and I hope you all realize that you are too. Freedom of speech and language...

Let him go I have tractor info to research.

I looked at most of the chippers on the market (big names) and I ended up with a Bearcat www.bearcat.com They have several to choose from but in my case it was the fact that I could call up and speak to a person live.

There product is great but there service is awesome.

I run my computer business out of a efficency in Miami located on the same property as my home, it just made sense to include the extra KW and go to a larger unit to power everything.

Anyone seen or been on the Grand L 4630 or Grand L5030? I am trying to narrow it down and it seems there is $1,000 difference in price based on 3.5 hp difference.

Most of my tools are digger, Back Hoe, Tiller, Bush, Hos so it appears it may not be worth the extra $1,0000.

What do you all think?
