    Off-Topic: Anyone Use a Grapple?

    I agree with aarkie in that a grapple, or even pallet forks can present additional safety concerns. With either attachment an operator may attempt to exceed the limitations of the tractor and/or the attachment. An example: Loads that are off center as with logs or other heavy items. Or, moving...

    Off-Topic: Anyone Use a Grapple?

    Ohio pawpaw: I have a grapple for my J-D 110. It's a pretty heavy duty unit. The top has two independent operating hydraulic grabbing sections. They grip uneven loads much better and safer, I believe, than the one section offered by Land Pride and others. The grapple has been a 'best buy' for...

    Is the X1100C a good machine to plow snow?

    I agree with 4570FAN. The RTV has shifting quirks that we have complained about for years. Why the Kubota Corp has never addressed this issue is a mystery. One day ,other side by side machines will come up to the otherwise quality of the Kubota and then folks will be buying other than the...

    Slightly Off Topic - Heating Pole Barn

    Pawpaw; Sounds like quite an ambitious project to warm up such a large uninsulated and open ridge-vented building. I also have a steel sided pole building of similar size. Also non-insulated and not heated. However I did construct a 8x18x8 insulated "tool room" inside. Sort of a room inside the...

    Remembering 2019

    Was a great year. Mostly good health. Visited with friends that I had not seen for a long time. Jobs for those that need/want work. And, lol, the RTV is running just fine. How was your 2019?

    if Kubota would grant my wish

    Just kidding. But, I'd suggest a better windshield wiper system, better fueling arrangement, forward reverse single pedal transmission, color coded filters and dip sticks, 35-40 mph top speed, more reasonable prices on fluids filters and parts. Better informed dealer network and mechanic...
