Does LS make a toy blue tractor. I have a Great Nephew who will be 9 in Sept. He has Downs Syndrome and many other medical needs, including half a heart. Long story short, his favorite tractors are Blue and I was wondering if you had miniatures I could buy for him. TIA Mikki Judge, Iowa.
I was sold on the unit 5 years ago. I needed a little time to come up with the finances. Biden was installed and the unit price went up to much for my budget.
Steel prices have dropped 50% in the USA and look to be headed even lower possibly *WAY* lower...all economic at this lower price meaning the Factories will still be running at even far lower prices not just for steel obviously but pig iron too so expect a continued flood of product not just domestic made but also imports in particular for attachments now as well but also everything at the hardware store. #everything_attachment factory shutdown which was a huge disappointment but possible if prices get low enough this could change. Amazing machines on the market these days not just for personal use anymore as well if prices really start to come in here. All maintenance items such as fluids, filters, gaskets, nuts and bolts everything needed for #sustainment all available now too whether that be in a shop or "ordered be here in a day" kind of thing. Definitely massive gluts starting to form up in everything.
Like the video for all the details. I'm interested in the MT225S with CAB and need to know the height of the cab for clearance into my garage. The opening is 91 inches high and would need several inches free to travel in/out with no concerns. I believe your store is just an hour away. thank you
Having had a Craftsman 1000 kholer for many years and still running but it's time to upgrade. After lots of RU-vid and Google and physical researching I went to a FERRIS Dealership TOPS. In my area Harlingen TX according to them nobody has any 42" or 48" available not even the warehouse, they'll have to be made and it'll take around 2 to 6 months to a year. 8a to 5p Hrs of operation and they're always jammed with people needing service but they don't can't help anybody. TERRIBLE customer service so just imagine trying to get parts or maintenance. Stopped at a KUBOTA and customer service was fast attentive huge store and fully stocked organized plus they have many Kubota locations everywhere. 4 year warranty too. Bought the KUBOTA 42" Z232 Kawasaki zero turn with free delivery next day. Very happy with SERVICE and feel confident about continuing business with Kubota and will be buying more from them . Also Ferris mostly uses Briggs and Stratton motors.
I had the older MTD snowblower attachment on my lgt1050 and it was a chore to install and also to remove. There was no spring assist so you were dealing with the full weight of the bucket. I was amazed at the newer style, as shown here. It is amazingly easy to install and remove and the spring assist makes lifting the bucket very easy. Looking forward to a winter with more snow than we had last season so I can work out with my new SLX 50.
Finally, a video on the model I bought. These are may not the best in the lineup, but are very plentiful and affordable for most. In my opinion, it has less tech things to go wrong, a well known engine and old school easy to fix technology. Depending on property size, for a first time Rider owner, I think it’s perfect.
DO NOT BUY ANY KUBOTA PRODUCT I BOUGHT A NEW KUBOTA LX 4020 TRACTOR TO USE FOR A SNOW REMOVAL BUSINESS IN BRIAN HEAD, UT. I HAD TO PURCHASE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO AS IT WAS THE ONLY KUBOTA DEALERSHIP WITHIN A 1000 MILE SEARCH TO HAVE THE TRACTOR I NEEDED FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED. The Dealership, Wickham Tractor in Fort Collins, CO sold me the tractor and added Howes diesel treatment to the tank as well as selling me the remainder of the bottle to use to prevent the fuel from jelling. I Used as per specs. Tractor was purchased on 11/21/23 and I picked it up and transported it back to UT. Tractor was in operation for 17.2 hours before it would not start. Local Kubota dealerships said they would not come out to try to fix it as we did not buy it from them. Took it to Las Vegas, NV, as they were closest Kubota dealership, dropped off on 1/8/24 at 730 am. Kubota dealership said the fuel smelled funny so it wasn't covered under warranty and said $12000.00 plus to fix. The DPF was completely clogged and the only codes were low temp MAF sensor and no communication with EGR. Western area rep said there was no fuel to test because I drained it. This is a Lie. Had more than 6 gallons of fuel in it when i dropped it off. I have all the emails and correspondences and text messages, proving they denied coverage for adding a fuel additive. Sergio at Kubota customer service said, “When I put fuel in the tractor it voided warranty.” Apco, the Kubota dealership in Las Vegas, sent out the injectors for testing they came back as bad due to fuel contamination on 1/23/24. Kubota persisted in their point of me putting bad fuel in the Tractor. When I called the tester, I pressed about the fuel contamination. The person who did the test, said it was visible metal in the injectors that most likely came from the high pressure fuel pump. There was no metal in the fuel tank, fuel filter or fuel water separator. The dealership i bought the tractor from said they were the only ones that could help me at this point due to Kubota policy. Eddie at Wickham tractor told me I needed to bring the tractor back to them, 1367 miles round trip. and they would sell me a new one because I had broken this one. And would see about trying to fix the one I had already bought for a discount. I transported the tractor back to Greely, CO to Wickham on 1/18/24 they tested the fuel that was still in the filters and it came back as fine 2/8/24 so they were going to replace the entire engine. This could take between 3 to 9 months. My warranty coverage says all warranty work to be completed within 30 days. On 2/28/24 I found out there was internal Kubota Service Bulletin that came out to all the dealers the week before I bought the tractor stating the very problems my tractor was having. They knew this, and still denied coverage, and finally, when I presented this fraud to Kubota, on 3/7/24 Wickham tractor said they were going to replace the tractor with a new one, but wouldn't give me a timeline of when I would get a new one and I would have the expense of picking it up from them verses a local dealership. These delays have cost me my business and reputation to move snow I had to pay out my competitors and cancel and refund all my contracts. A service bulletin for this tractor was issued before I bought it stating this very problem. and it was to be fixed at Kubotas expense. They knew the problem existed, they tried to blame it on me for adding fuel supplement, they tried to coerce me into buying a new tractor on top of the broken one so i didn't lose my business. they refused to cover the cost of repair until i proved their fraud, and intent by pushing the narrative and then changing and deleting emails. I have all emails and correspondence showing the timeline, the fraud and intent.
I believe from what I have been able to put together so far is that this same setup for the v blade will also run the Kubota snowblower. I’m seriously considering buying one of these.
I have the 2023 RTV XG850 and really like it, It does need more clearance. Here on the farm crossing creek beds it overworks the skid plates on rocks. Took it to an RTV park and wow, climbs like a goat and stable all the way, again, it needs a bit more clearance. Looking for a lift kit to get the extra 2 inches of ground clearance.
😊😊 yeah how much in zero turns go for? What is the price and are they legit? Are they awesome? No call packs. No flat tires. Nothing breaking on them after you get them 3 months 6 months to an ear. I mean by hurt a lot of people complain but I don't know. I'm hesitating to buy one. I don't want to be in there. Same boat but the grass is getting off of high. Even what are used ones going for. Just buying somebody else's junk. Probably I don't know
My 2022 sidekick is junk. Bad Gas and water contamination of the crankcase oil. Been in the shop a month now with a warranty claim and dealer can not get help from the kubota rep to find the problem and a solution. Seems the 850 engines have a problem that can only be solved by throwing parts at them and Kubota is ignoring that. Don't waste your money on the sidekick look for a side by side from a reputable company that specializes in them. My buddybought a Ranger when I bought the sidekick and he has had zero problems and at 25 hours mine has been ib the shop a month with Kubota not caring..
I just bought one and my first mow 22 minutes on fairly thick grass took almost 40% of the battery. I'd say around an hour tops. I'm returning it tomorrow.
The Cub Cadet Dealer in my area that I deal with a lot for Stihl items as well, told me to avoid the 3 Stage Snowblowers. I bought the 13hp 2 stage and I’m very happy with it. Now that being said, I’m not sure about the Lawn Tractor Model. Be careful, I trust my guy cause he knows I’d climb all over the vet him if it didn’t work correctly!
Its a great idea, but the push tube technology is way outdated for what could be a simple quick installation and removal. Those push tubes are a horrible design, and you end up struggling to install and remove the blower unit. Looks like they no longer offer the blower which given its installation design I'm glad its gone. I now have a tractor that I can put a blower or a rear blade on so the snow blower for my XT1 might just get sold, its not worth the hassle.
