I know that you guys are dealing with a serious incident here, but I've got a question for you. I spoke with my local dealer and he quoted me an $800 price on dual rear remotes. Is this a typical cost for this add-on?

crunch, it sounds like too much fun around your place. I need to get to the point where my two youngest kids are out of the house and then maybe I can get the kegerator. Have you ever had a Shiner Bock? If you're ever down this way, come by and we'll hoist a few.

I think that the 7510 wins out between the two, but agree with the other guys about the limited use on a lot of traditional tractor chores. Selling the 9N and applying that money to the upgrade in tractor size sounds like a good idea to me. Once you get a few hours on the new tractor, the 9N will probably just sit in the shed. Take a look at the B7800, with 4WD and HST. It should come in pretty close in price, and deliver a lot more capability. Definitely make HST a gotta have on your shopping list.

Hey Joel, I had to go out to Phoenix AZ to move my father-in-law. Sold his place to move into an apartment that has nursing assistance if he needs it. Parkinsons. I was very glad to get home.<br>

I totally get off track with that snow blowing stuff. It has been 7 years since I left Alaska to come to Texas, and I forget so easily the work involved in moving that stuff. If I had only had a tractor and blower up there, I could have made some serious off-duty cash. <br>

And yes, Kubota has drive-over MMMs.

Thanks, y'all! I got the rams I mentioned before, but from your advice I have decided to go ahead and buy a 4X24X2 cylinder from Atwoods...priced at $199 with no shipping involved. That is, if I can slow down enough to get it done. With the winter coming on, there are too many jobs that I'd delayed doing this year. Oh, finally got the latest project done, a car we pieced together for my son. Have less than $300 in it...Oh, if only that was always the case! Check out picture number 7. I think I did well on this one.<br>

You're right! I never saw that until now. That's my son-in-law...and he knows better! I might just change that picture, and soon.

Pull out your truck owner's manual, look up fuse location, and then go to the passenger side footwell. The fusebox is behind a panel forward of the door opening. Pull that off, and then pull the fuse box cover. I can almost guarantee that you have a blown fuse. I have that problem on occasion with my 2006 f-150 and it usually happens when I plug the trailer in with the lights on the truck turned on.

Hope this helps.

Joel, unless I'm way off on my math, a load of 150 gallons of fuel shouldn't have been enough to damage the S-10. 900 pounds plus the container weight (300?) isn't too much weight, unless the guy was jumping terraces with the truck or something like that. You're right though, the operator can make all the difference in the world, which is why I never loan my tractor.

Thanks for the help guys.

I did the compressor route. But I have gotten a freeby sump pump, and I plan on working up a geyser type aerator with it this weekend.

LBrown,

if you don't mind my asking, why do you want two of these machines?

Joel has a very good point about their size...

We see more and more of them used by hunters that lease land down here in Texas. Most of the guys that can afford to lease hunting property also have the money for these toys.
They outlawed four-wheelers (all wheeled vehicles) from river bottoms in Texas as an appeasement to the tree huggers and big hunting property owners. That way most people can't get too far into the river bottoms to hunt the deer that they've been feeding all year. Why not use boats? This is Texas, and most rivers are not rivers at all unless there is a flash flood. Speaking of the tree hugger angle, their view was that the four-wheelers were tearing up the sand too much. Never mind that the river course changes with every good rain.

Oh, and more ranchers are buying them for fencework, etc. They're a lot less upkeep than horses and mules.

No, I didn't know that.

I do not propose that the Aussies have anything better than we do. The stand that immigrants assimilate the values of the nation they're moving to is what I was pointing out. This is by far not the opinion of the whole of Australia...just the opinion of their leader.

We have hashed this out a lot, and we all know that economics drives the willingness to communicate in foreign languages, so the point is probably moot. The fact that one man in that position actually made a stand that wasn't PC is probably the only real story here. But it's a nice one.

I agree with AnnBrush here. I did the same thing. You will destroy the garden tractor/riding mower and spend countless hours doing jobs that can be handled quickly with the right equipment. I have two acres of lawn, and if I ever took a vacation I'd be so far behind on mowing that I cussed myself for not getting a small tractor instead of the riding mower. Time is your most valuable asset, use it wisely...undersized equipment for the job is a good way to waste time. From my experience...

My bother-in-law installed one in their old farmhouse (like yours, high ceilings) and they love it. I had never heard of the brand until he got one.

I guess you closed off the chimney, with the exception of the flue pipe hole? It is hard to tell in your picture.

I like the look you achieved. As one that grew up in a poor county in south Alabama, we had to rely on fireplaces. You could feel the draft sucking the warm air out of the room when you stood in front of a big fire. So a lot of fireplaces were closed off when wood stoves became popular in the 70s.

Have a great day.

I know that most folks want their seat replaced for free, but there are some really good aftermarket seats available if the Kubota seat doesn't work out.

As for the B-series tractor seats, my dad's dealer had the replacement for him in about a week. I don't know if it's appropriate here on the forum, but "kudos" to the Kubota dealer in Dothan Alabama. Really customer-satisfaction oriented folks!

If the teeth turned blue, the temper of the metal was affected. I may be wrong, but I suspect that the guy that you hired to sharpen the chains rushed the job and didn't know what he was doing. I'd be surprised if the teeth ever hold an edge very long after being burnt.

As for what to do about it...was the guy that did the work also the boss? If he was, I'd look elsewhere for future sharpening. If he wasn't, bend the boss' ear, and insist that he make it right if he values your business.

Just my opinion. Good luck!

Bgreely,

I have a Kubota L2800 HST 4WD w/R4s with FEL 5' finish mower and box blade. I paid $17,200 for the package. I couldn't be happier with its performance. I agree with Joel that you should really put some thought into your tire selection. Check with other CUT owners in the area. Of course, each tire choice brings a different set of abilities and limitations. I'm very happy with the R4s, but the area I live in (North Texas)is pretty flat. I've put 160 hours on mine since I bought it in February of this year. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as some of Kubota's offerings, but it is a great tractor for basic needs.

My dad recently bought a B7800 HST with 4WD and R4s. He is in LA (Lower Alabama) and he's very happy with his choice as well. Kubota is a great tractor. He mostly uses his to mow his property. It is definitely a smaller tractor than the L2800, and I don't think its four-cylinder runs any smoother than the three-cylinder in the L2800.

Good luck!
