    Wouldn't you thought they would have painted it?

    Wow. That looks like it could be replaced by something much better pretty easily though.

    That's what I'm thinking too, maybe 1 1/2" handrail pipe or 2" or so sq tubing.

    He’s been driving going on 4 years. My older boy doesn’t like to drive and my younger daughter will if she’s outside. The one in the photo is my helper, is always ready. He loves running anything.

    That XS 500i is impressive it only has 1/2 a tank so far. The throttle response is mind blowing. It’s the difference from a top fuel dragster compared to a junk yard found carburetor Yugo, that somehow started with 30 year old fuel.

    Thanks, I'm glad my local dealer could look beyond a book and think of a solution

    Not a Kubota but I ordered a Massey Ferguson sub compact last week and waiting on a delivery date , they said a couple weeks.
    I have been looking for a long time for a used machine and found nothing. Finally said " Screw it " and ordered a new one. With quick connect bucket and a set of pallet forks it will be awesome for some yard work , getting logs on the mill and snow removal.
    Best part is the Mrs. actually helped by telling me " You have been looking long enough , will you just get it if that's what you want " .

    I will get some pictures up when it makes it home. I am now like that kid waiting on Christmas morning for his new Red Ryder BB gun !

    I know exactly what you mean. Read back a few pages on this thread about the time I was having trying to get the pin on to Quick attach converter plate...

    The M6040 was getting dirty doing some ditching today. A few places are dry enough. But I’m still making a mess!

    I got a deal on a box blade at my local dealer, so jumped on it before these metal prices skyrocket!

    I'm planning on clearing an area to make a paddock for future 4 legged critters, will help with grading and the garden. I already graded the road with it and it worked great!
