This is my Kubota L175 diesel tractor. It's pretty beat up, but it was cheap and it runs and works great.
Everything Kubota: amzn.to/2bvZPbj
I would like to get some regular agricultural tires and wheels for it, though. It needs more weight in the front too; all around really. One of these days I plan to put a front-end loader on it. Not one of the new ones that cost thousands of dollars, of course. I'll do it in true Possum Living fashion by either building it from scratch, or finding something in poor condition (and probably built for another tractor) and rebuild/modify it to work.
The Kubota L175 is basically the same tractor as the grey-market Zen-Noh ZL1500.
I am using it to pull my 1966 Sears Suburban 12 garden tractor out of the briars in preparation for getting it running again, and possibly converting it to run on propane. I have other videos up of the Suburban running. I included some pictures here of the condition its cast-iron 12 hp Tecumseh HH120 was in when I got it. Basically, it had been parked with its exhaust valve open for an unknown length of time, and the top portion of the cylinder rusted and locked up the engine. For this reason, I got the whole thing for $80. I wrote an article about my trip to Kentucky to pick it up, complete with camping in the rain in the Land Between the Lakes (right beside the bridge that a ship hit and destroyed a couple of months ago, as it turns out).
