    Not exactly. Decided not to put one on because it’s hydraulic and would need several. I run AMS oil in the motor and Chevron aircraft hydraulic oil. It’s rated to -100*.

    Congratulations !! At least tractors hang around long after the sting of payments is over.

    Plus the warranty !!! One thing to buy a fixer upper..... totally another to buy a machine some first timer cut his teeth on just to save or should I say "roll the dice" on saving another year's payments.

    Yea, the warranty is decent. Anything a few years old with low hours was too close in price to justify buying. Kubota offered an $800 rebate if i chose to finance, $700 off the first implement (loader) and $300 off the second implement, which i didn't get yet.

    Better than the warranty is the KTAC insurance, you have to have if financed. Warranty does not cover dumb mistakes, like I hit a chunk of ice and knocked oil drain plug off and blew motor at 300 hours:hair::jaw:.. KTAC covered that oops.. on a 50hp diesel was easily 5 figures.

    Something to think about on insurance. My tractor actually belongs to my company (job shop) even though only 10% of the time it's there. But it's included in my insurance for the shop at no apparent cost. If it falls off the trailer and or ...... catches fire, stolen or is damaged do to a mishap ect. I am covered including liability to others, and lost wages. If you own a company it might be a good thing to ask about including it.

    It covers everything under the sun except purposeful destruction. Cost was $1600.00 that covers 5 years, not bad imo

    We deal with Townline, in Plainfield, NH. Been very happy. One of their “things” they do on a new tractor is three bucket hooks - incredibly useful to have three.

    Very! Lots of good info! You have a nice selection of tractors and implements. Do you find that the quick hitch would conflict with the rops if it were down?

    I checked them out, kinda worked with MB and Champlain valley- whom did right and were honest. I have nothing good to say about MB. Wish i looked at town line a little closer, but I'm happy with everything. Champlain will do the hooks, rimguard, and the engine block heater on the house, along with free delivery -an hour and a half away. Even said they would drop off the tractor until the third function came in, and just come back to pick it up to install, then re-deliver once ready. Real nice honest folks there.

    I ordered the deluxe canopy, mainly because i don't have tractor storage yet. I wanna be able to run a tarp over it before any snow. At least this will help me build something to store it in, tall enough to fit as well.

    Cool, the canopy would be a nice place to mount some additional lighting.

    Congratulations!

    If you want to do anything in the winter you’re gonna need chains! I’ve bought several sets from tirechain.com, very good service. If you get any ice at all your tractor won’t move without chains.
