Thread: My Wife Said NO! YOUR A JUNK ADDICT

Depending on usage, that Tractor is going to be a bear. Like an old drag car, it's meant to go in a straight line and not much else.
Small Kubotas with shuttle shift or hydrostatic transmissions are light, powerful, and very very useful even in small spaces. Just thinking out loud here.

My old boat:

I was so in love with that boat, I used to polish the mains.... Could have done kidney surgery in that engineroom. I had the engines balanced perfectly, I turned them up to 2200rpms and they ran smooth as silk.

That was pretty good, I've seen that commercial I laugh each time I see it.

We watched several other clips about the Raccoons from your link.

We have been feeding a stray cat for about two years he wants to be on his own. He just comes for food; in the 15 years he is the only one that we cannot get close too.

We put food out when the (New Guy) that’s what I’ve called him since he started coming. If we don't get the plates up soon enough the Raccoons will come. One night we had a family of 6 we try to get them to leave but they can smell the food we have rescued many Cats and do not want a confrontation. The cats we take care of were all strays but have become domesticated so the Raccoons could do them harm.

Thanks for the link it was very funny.

Drew,
I could be wrong but I'm thinking you went to a Diesel Mechanic School maybe in Wyoming. I was there for Auto Interior and I know they have an excellent Diesel training class. That is something to be proud of working on such huge Diesel Engines. Then go home and work on your Diesel truck and lawn tractor. Nice Boat plus you Ford trucks. That was very interesting the clips.

I'll check out the Kubota's that would work out great for what we have to do we have mostly woods so I don't need a big tractor.

Thanks for posting
Richard

Just a thought on Kubota tractors
we bought a 18hp 2 cylinder diesel 4X4 Kubota tractor at an auction
fine machine but when I tried to get some parts at the Kubota dealer
they told me that it was a gray market tractor and they could Not help me with any parts., He was very snooty about it.

I never went to school. Only graduated high school because my mother taught there (cracking the whip).
I was fortunate to run a business for years with a fleet of horrible vehicles that broke down every few days :-)
Thus the saying with ford trucks: "You can fix darn near anything if you replace darn near everything."

back to tractors:
Don't know if you can find one, but I ran a landscaping company for many years, the handiest tractor was the Kubota B21. It is small, light, could do big work and not destroy the grass in bazillion dollar yards.
por ejemplo:

Tho I worked with a fella that was 325lbs and he looked mighty funny on the tractor.

anyway,
Drew

Drew,
Your parents must be really proud of you and you got over the cracking of the whip.
My daughter married a College Graduate from Notre Dam he has not worked nor has he wanted to work in 5 years. He will be 40 years old soon. Just goes to show the difference in people some want to make it others want to take it. My daughter has been married to a bum the same amount of years that you have been married. We can’t get her to understand he is no good.

That link looked pretty strong with the work out. Maybe someday I could get something like that.

Thanks Richard

It's grey But we can paint it!!!

Wow that's the same Kabota we rented to do the foundation trenching and driveway work here. Those little tractors are amazing, and do tight turns!
One for sale locally that I'm trying to get my friend to look at, who has a few acres in the country.

I'm in love with them. We had one with 16k hours on it.
All I recall replacing was minor stuff. Not to mention we had a hundred different untrained drivers. The B21 was awesome.

Some of the newer models have midmount PTO's for belly mowers and stuff too.
