22hp 3 cyclinder Deisel and will dig and plow all day and night.

I got the backhoe, loader and a 54 inch belly mower.

Now all I have to get is a Chisel (moldboard) Plow and a disk for it before spring so I can work the garden.

I have to give props to the wife on this one she did all the leg work to make sure I could buy it.

That is one nice piece of machinery you got there.

As most of you know, I recently bought a townhouse and got engaged. Well, like you Rubicon, we got about 4 to 5 inches here in Germantown, MD, but it only took me a couple of minutes to shovel the walkway. When the fiance got home from work, I told her that, and she said that I had better enjoy it now because that won't be the case when we buy/build a new home.

My reply, do you think I will be out there shoveling snow when we have a house? NO! I will either buy a plow for the truck or I will buy a snow blower. I remember having to shovel my parents circular driveway as a kid and if there is anything I hate more than mowing the grass, it is shoveling the driveway in the freezing cold.

Oh yea, after I got out of law school I vowed to never be cold again, probably because of those days hunting without the right equipment and those cold days shoveling snow. Now, I have all the right gear.


DaMadman,

You are going to have to let me take a look at that thing the next time I am down your way. I hope your garden is pretty big.

Well I am plenty happy with it I played all weekend. I am hoping for more snow now. I played around in my driveway and the subdivsion road in front of the house to get used to it. I think I am ready to make a buck or two in the neighborhood next snowfall.

We got around 2 - 3 inches in southern Charles/northern St'Mary's

The only thing I still need to get for the Tractor is the chisel plow and a set of Disc for doing the garden. Kubota wante around $300 -$400 for a chisel plow, so I told the guy that was ok I would just get one later. BTW Fabs the garden is about 1/4 acre. so it's plent big for the Kubota. Everyone keeps telling me that this tractor will last 30 years if I abuse it and longer if I take good care of it so I guess I won't ever be buying a riding mower again.

Is the bucket and backhoe on the tractor at all times, even when you are just mowing the grass.

It can be but they both come off with the pull of a couple pins and a couple quick connect hydraulic lines. Each one takes maybe 10 minutes to take off. The backhoe will probably come off first, right after a few things thaw out and I get a couple digging jobs around the house done. The front loader bucket I am not sure but I will probably put it on and take it off a lot.

I want to get a rear grader blade, chisel plow and disc for it and I will have everything I could possibly need.

I already have a chisel (moldboard) plow for my garden tractor but it is a sleeve hitch setup instead of the cat. 1, 3 point hitch but I think I found an adapter for it.

Idunno I will probably just sell the garden tractor and the 3-4 sleeve hitch implements I have and buy a used 3 point plow and the other stuff before spring

Kubota, great tractor and easy on fuel.

The official lawn tractor of the Minnesota Twins (who play on turf in a dome).

Good tractors, take care of it and your grandkids will use it. I'm still using a couple old John Deere tractors my grandpa bought new, one is a 1939 B. My boy loves it. I'll bet he never thought his great grandson would be using it.

Nice Rig!

I have owned a Kubota Lawn/Garden tractor for 13 years and have to say that I would buy another without any hesitation.
