Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire John Deere or Kubota

Just like pickup trucks, fertilizer, eggs. Everything has gone through the roof.

In 2020 we sold a roll of bale wrap was $65. In 2021 it was $105, if you could get it. Some people were charging $130. This spring it's around $93, so it came down but it's no where near were it was.

A tip for those folks moving snow with a front end loader. Spray the inside of your bucket with WD-40, or generic silicone lube spray. The packed snow, even the heavy wet stuff, will dump right out, rather than clog the bucket.

Out of the 2 you mentioned, Kubota even though I did not buy either one

Diesel fuel works fine too !

Used to give the shovel a coat of Pam Cooking Spray too - seemed to help.

What is this "snow" you guys are talking about?

yep!
The 'other' orange, been worked too hard but just keeps on going.

It somewhat resembles this:

Ha, yeah, its pretty & all,



but, it does create some work.

This is my driveway, after I drove my chevy half ton in. Notice that it's underbelly, was dragging !

5’ cutter on a 25 HP tractor prob not an optimal combo. 4’ would fit that tractor better.

I’d want a 40+ HP tractor for 5’. My 50 HP JD has a 6’ Bush Hog, about perfect combo for that size tractor.

Mine handled a 15' batwing with ease

My Dad’s 80 HP ‘60’s vintage 830 Case handled a 15’ Terrain King easily. Never got bogged down due to lack of power and he cut some pretty bad stuff with it.

My 1970 4020 is worth more than double what it sold for new. When I got it I payed about 1500 more than its new selling price
That’s a 53 year old tractor they sell for 18-25k
They were 10 k new
Why?
Go see what a 100
Hp tractor will cost and will it still go to work 53 years later not eve an engine overhaul.?

Those were/are really good tractors.

I agree with your assessment about how many new tractors will be performing 50 yrs from now, as well that ole hoss.

I have a Kubota L3130. 32HP 3 cylinder, hydrostatic tranny. Only thing I replaced in 20 years was a loader hydraulic cylinder and some hydro hoses. I think it has 700 hours on it, so it has not been used much. Home use, 4 acres to take care of. No regrets.

Deere is known for putting crap out on the market and letting the public test it out for them!

They are pretty good at putting out decent products... With one caveat. The "E" series. That is a cheaper price leader line of tractors made to be competitive with other brands, and they have "issues" according to my local JD dealer.

Due to the blowing snow we can't get a feed pickup down to our river cows.


Relying on these two POS's as we speak....lol!






Kubota guys bitch about winter, JD guys just deal with it!

Real Farmers and Ranchers deal with a lot of stuff that the wanna be's cry and complain about.
I am not a Rancher or farmer and i do not have to deal with all of the bad crap that real farmers and Ranchers have to deal with to make a living.

I pat you real guys on the back for what you do to help feed all of us.

It seems like the only people you hear from most of the time are the cry baby wanna be's


A guy with a 25Hp Any brand tractor is only a wanna be and not a serious Rancher / Farmer but they get top billing most of the time

I thank all of you Real Farmers & Ranchers when it comes to getting the real information about Equipment.

By the Way I own a Kubota and love it for what it does for my needs.

I am Not a Real Rancher or Farmer.

Thanks again for everything you do for us.

Kioti,just that..
