I've heard good things about them, but I plan to work mine like a tractor, not a glorified lawn mower. I had dad's Kubota on 3 wheels twice in the 6 weeks I had it. Wasn't cause I was babying it I can assure you that 😂

Don’t hold up, for light duty it’ll be ok but if you work it like a tractor it’ll let you down. Back dragging and anything above light duty work you’ll be busting and bending parts. He’s been in the business for 25+ years and when he talks, I listen....

His name E F Hutton?

So far I have been well pleased with my John Deere 1025. It is a far better machine than the Kubota that I had. Of course the Kubota was over 40 years old and the JD is brand new. LOL. One thing to consider on many of these sub compacts. Alot of the 3 point hitches don't have position control. They simply raise or lower. It makes a big difference when trying to grade or even set brush hog height. Position control makes it far easier to raise it just a hair and hold it there. The 1025 had that and is part of the reason I went that way.

ONe thing to consider is when things open back up here, I would bet you will see some pretty good deals as dealerships are going to be looking to move some inventory. You will also be able to get some long term financing at 0%.

It gets really squirrelly when on 2 on a hillside 😂
But in all seriousness, they’re discounted and offered for a good interest rate for a reason....

Try a brush pile on a 30 degree angle 😂

The Mahindra Gordo had a year or so back would have been perfect but not at 0% interest.

I attended the US Farm show in Feb. Those tractors come from China and Korea. I like my home Kubota over my camp John Deere of similar size. At the end of the day....they both finish the task at hand.

My buddy and I built 7 bluebird houses today and one small chicken pen...ran out of wire for the pen but we will finish when we get more wire.

some day I'll be rich enough and smart enough to be able to stop hand digging footers. All this dirt for an address post. Didn't take long but I'm not 20 anymore.

Bil and I built this garden box today. Will put plants in after mothers day. Been a fun day.

Dad, I and my father and law poured the 4 yards today. Went well with a broom finish. Very pleased.

12 tons of 57s today. Remarkable difference and a huge boost to the curb appeal. We sold our other vehicle yesterday, so I ordered gravel and Tracie has loaded a cart with a new front door and lights. Also have some new rockers coming, as well as some landscape maintenance and trim painting. She's coming along!

I don’t think 12 tons would fill my potholes right now! 😂

I needs to dry up before I can get this job tackled. Nice work👍🏼

You need to set up? Lol. Freudian slip?

Lol. IT, it needs to dry out. My liver is functioning at record capacity. This no camping thing has added extra drinking days. No setting up or driving happening😂

I’m like Dave...120 ton every 3 years. Listening....@5cent.

Looks great Twire & Jesse!

Yeah, yeah, I hear u 2 loud and clear. I'm putting together my timeline now to cut it in but weather is the wildcard. Looking at 155-160tons for the base 1's & 2's, then hoping to stay in the 130-140 ton range for the following 2 layers. Was able to source woven geotextile fabric for $1.50/ft for the 450' run.
