That thing is adorable with the little cab on it

My father in law has a nice little Kubota that must be 30 years old at least. That man maintains his equipment, and there is a list of guys that want to buy his tractors, trucks, whatever.

What are you going to do with it? I’m not seeing any snow clearing stuff.

Very nice. It looks like a show piece. Did the previous owner use it as intended?

I don't think he has enough snow to sweep, let alone start a tractor.

I love threads like this for the simple reason that they give a little window into a life that is so different from my own. Thanks for sharing and that's a beautiful tractor.

This came up in my FB feed yesterday from 9 years ago. I loaned my snow clearing tractor to a buddy who was drifted in pretty bad and couldn’t get to his bales with his 4240…

I have not had to start that machine yet this winter…

I just bought a Meteor 6’ blower with an orbital hydraulic chute. First new snowblower ever. The dealer was happy to sell it to me this year. It’s black n red too. The setup looks great. I’ll snap a pick when it’s working to show. My shoulder is toast from cranking a manual chute for 30+ yrs.

Thanks for the comments. I think it’s looking great too. I’ve already got suitors for the older 35 she’s replacing. It’s actually newer than this one!! They built these tractors to last!

We have a mower for the 3pt hitch too.

The PO restores them and sells. He thought it would go to a new owner to show but we’re going to use it. I won’t be able to keep it as nice looking as it is now but she will get more than the 7500 hrs showing now vs garage queen!
