    Diesel Powered, Orange Crow Bar. Gloat

    Diesel Powered, Orange Crow Bar. Gloat
    "Jim Becker's line"
    My new Kabota arrived Fri. Don from Bobcat of Duluth showed up about 11 am Fri with all the toys.
    I gave a lot of thought and made many phone calls before I took delivery. As many of you know, forest fires are raging in the area. Fortunately our area generates its own climate. There are no guarantees in life but the fires are about 30 miles away and always moving away from my place.

    Don spent about 1.5 hours stepping through each stage of operation.
    We removed, and put on each attachment. one of them twice.
    The Kabota sells itself but the service is what sold me on this dealer.
    It was A # 1 all the way.
    Thanks Matt and Don from Bobcat of Duluth.

    Orange crowbar

    Hi Tyler,
    Nice unit. I have had a Kubota for 24 years[same one] and it still is ready to go after I am flagged out. Made a living with it for 7 yrs after quitting my last job. Didnt get the backhoe attachment, though. Just dirt work and mowing. Yours will probably outlive you. Max

    Kewel tool!

    You are one fortunate dude!

    Re: fire. There is one about 35 miles from my home in Arizona. Last I heard, no one was too worried. We have great forest fire fighting people in the West but every fire is a great concern to me. The biggie in 2003 in San Diego county got within a half mile of my property. Don't want to do that again.

    Keep safe, from fire, and with the new toy! You look good in orange,
    Carol in NV

    Oh man, now you are officially a gentleman farmer.

    Have you ordered your sign for the roadside that proclaims

    Howell Farms


    One thing is missing however, where is the canvas and plastic cab for this winter?
    Best Regards, Ken

    Tyler, just remember, blue containers for water, red for gasoline, and yellow for diesel. Keep that straight and you will be fine. Congrats on the new tractor! Jim.

    Tyler, is there no end to toys?

    Tyler tyler ......

    a back-hoe, huh?

    one word of advice J.U.L.I.E.

    that is one nice set up. you will love that loader.

    Have fun and play safe.

    congrats

    Joe

    BTW: I hope you bought a Quick Detach unit for the loader and blade!

    also BTW: if you didn't do it already, buy a wear plate for the loader! this is important.
