Just an FYI we had a block heater put in. At around 15 degrees they can be a little tuff to start 1st thing in the morning. 

I was running a generator to warm the block heater on the tractor when I was at the cabin in December.    :chuckle:

I used the Kubota for a couple seasons and it is a workhorse. Aux hydraulics are great and a lot of attachment options.  Top speed was an issue but for a work rig 25 is usually enough. The bad about it was that the thing was very heavy and not overly rough terrain competent. E-brake can be a bit of a pain n the hydrostatic transmission will hold for a minute and then release when parked, if the brake is not tight it will roll. Ask me how I know :(

My FIL has gone a few thousand miles on a couple of the trail narrow Mules and loves them. He runs an off road motorcycle track and works the thing relentlessly.  I have run them a lot and they are very solid and hard to get stuck. Not all the bells and whistles but tough machines.

I have a Gator for work and it has been pretty solid. Bought a cab heater and lighted it all around. Winch is next. A real pain to work on and the E-brake sucks!

Friend has the Ranger n loves it, much better than the Gator which he ran previously.

 Work horse Kubota is home.  Camo, block heater, hydraulic/electric snow blade, extra set of new tires, other extras.  Made for a long day.  Can't wait to start hauling firewood to the cabin.

Went to them first. Only to be ignored for about 20 minutes then this guy who had been BSing with two others got up and asked me what I wanted. Told him I wanted to know how much for their :sry: RTV 1100. He said he was the owner would work me up a price in a few hours and let me know then went back to shooting the breeze. Three days and nothing so drove up to J & I and bought one.  4 days after that got a call from the Chehalis Kubota some salesman asked me if I had stopped by and inquired about one and if I wanted to look at one. Told him no the one in my garage looked great.  He said his boss just gave him a potential lead.  That was just my dealing with them two of my neighbors have had ordeals way worse after spending 10s of thousands of dollars with them..

Was it Lee do you know?

Sounds like the start of a beautiful partnership.  Hope your purchase works as well for you as ours has.

 :tup:  Played with it around the house hauling spring debris to burn pile.  Feels like it is going to be a  workhorse.  Taking the blade off couldn't be any easier.  Excited about getting to the mountain where I can really test it.
