    Small Kubota tractor with loader or rear attachment or both. Most common 3 cylinder diesel I know of at least? Just the first guess!

    Man!!!! Are you serious!!!! How did you get that?

    Are you my neighbor lol


    Yup, small Kubota tractor.

    0.7L 3cyl diesel. Takes 3.2qts of oil for such a small displacement thats good.
    And 12qts in the transmission!

    I've heard nothing but good stuff about them. Engine is made in Japan.

    Because I want one!

    I wish I was your neighbor so I could borrow it.

    Transmission fluid runs your hydraulics, too. Thus, the extra oil.
    Nice machine!

    Yup about the trans/hydraulic fluid.

    And yeah they are awesome little machines. I foresee I'll own it for a very long time!

    Are you gonna get one?

    I use old stuff, but I like dreaming about new stuff! I would enjoy having a new Kubota some day! I need two machines to die first!

    My riding lawnmower is 26 years old (John Deere LX176). 14 hp Kawasaki motor that just keeps chugging along. I bought the machine used in 2002, & I mow two lawns with it. I've been using the thing for 15 years, & I have no reason to replace it.

    I also own a Bolens G174 (made by Iseki). It's has a 2 cylinder Mitsubishi diesel motor, & it's built like a small tank. I believe it's from the mid-late 1970's era. My neighbor sold it to me very cheap when her husband passed away from cancer. She didn't feel comfortable using it. She's an absentee owner (professor @ UW-Madison & owns a second home next to mine), & her 33 acres connect up with my 72 acres. I mow our 105 acres of trails with it. I also provide her with a lot of firewood for her fireplace. Giving me a good deal on her old tractor has worked in her favor, but I would have helped her out regardless of all that.

    It's been the perfect little tractor for me. It goes pretty much anywhere my ATV will go, which is good. I have some narrow bridges that cross a few creeks on my property. A normal size tractor would be to much.

    I wouldn't mind having something newer some day, but the Bolens has been a beast of a machine. It doesn't look like much, but it's perfect for putting in food plots (for deer & turkeys) & maintaining rough trails. I have pretty rugged property. Not well suited for nice new things!

    My first guess was a sxs but their usually lighter, next is a Roxor Jeep thing but they're around 3000lbs Attachment 14622 or one of those mini truck things Attachment 14623
    Could be anything, a welder mounted to a trailer?
    How about a hint?
