[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1132727, member: 14713"] Congrats! That new blue tractor is PURDY! :nod: :nod: :nod: I've always used plain old liquid Turtle Wax for automotive paint, but there are probably better products out there. I notice your loader does not have a grapple. I wouldn't want to be without a grapple for handling hay. Sorry you had bad experience with the Kubota dealer. My Kubota M126GX has had a few glitches along the way but so far warranty has covered everything. My Kubota has a lot of gears (really more than I need), a buddy seat, and great climate control in a roomy and clean cab. My Kubota dealer has been great so far. Same dealer also sells CIH and NH. The red and blue tractors are at least $20K higher priced than a comparable orange tractor. I was able to buy a new Vermeer R2800 rake with the difference in price. My tractor doesn't have 200 hrs yet. I will have had it a year in June. I like the Kubota loader that came with MDS bucket and grapple. I notice other Kubota dealers have them set up this way. The loader has a joystick control so I can run the loader/bucket/grapple with one hand. The joystick controls the loader functions. There are two electric buttons on the joystick knob to run the grapple. My Kubota has 24 forward gears and 16 reverse which is more than plenty of gear selections. Basically 3 ranges that have to be shifted when stopped. L-M-H Then the +/- button on the shifter knob offers 8 speed powershift within each range. H is locked out in reverse. Reverse is provided by the LH power shuttle shift. Shuttle has F-N-R. Everything has to be in neutral to start the tractor. Kubota has a 25 mph road gear but not enough power to do that with a load of hay going up any kind of hill. Usually have to knock down 2 or 3 gears. I use 6L in reverse is about the right speed to back under 15 bale haystacks. With mfwd the Kubota doesn't spin out halfway under the haystack like my MF 2775 did. And the Kubota is a much smaller tractor. I do notice the HP difference when I get on the road! [/QUOTE]
