I Traded My Pickup For A Tractor! Was It A Mistake?

[@roadglide1142]

You made out well ! The loader capacity is 700 Lbs . Change the fluids & fuel & air filters & it will serve you for many years!

[@mchuo7834]

Those tractors are solid.Very durable Japanese engineering. Great trade!

[@michaelmactavish4445]

yeah thats the same brand as the generator im planing on buying is a kubota generator gl11000 wich kubotas has the #1 top best values on them

[@zacharycoslic1274]

Very good trade I just bought the size below it the 1880 I love it. Two things the glow plug’s usually only have to be run about 10 seconds and when you start it up do NOT run it at high rpm’s it is hard on the engine Kubota says in the manual wait until engine is up to operating temperature before throttling it or working it. I’m sure you will be happy with it!

[@Team_Fortress2]

Any engine when cold should not be ran at higher RPM’s this is common sense. You will wear down your bearings and seals and could crack your cylinder or bend rods.

[@bradyjones8014]

Hop in ur truck in the morning, hold the pedal to the floor when you fire it up, tell me how much she likes it 🤣🤣🤣

[@alanack67]

@Brady Jones do it all the time, it wont blow up

[@mcnellisllc9298]

In my area (Rural South Jersey), You made out like a king, I just bought a Bx2200 2002 with Digger attachment. For $6k. 1500 hrs. Great deal that Kubota is worth 12-15k all day.

[@michaelmactavish4445]

yeah kubotas are accully the cheapest brand on the market and better savings

[@sccarguy8242]

I’m stunned the truck did not sell fast… down here it would not have last a day. You still did really well.

[@phil3924]

I don't know your plans after college but I hope it involves wheeling and dealing. You're good at it.

[@SH-di8im]

You got a slamming good deal And that is one of the best compact tractor that you can buy

[@therealdeal67]

The decision you made was definitely a super deal, one way to look at it ,you will getting some great use out of it and the resale value is still there if you ever want to sell it 😀 take care and always stay safe 🙏

[@brimdi242]

I have a similar model, BX 7400. I've had it 18 years, always runs, just change oil and filters. Mine has a box scrapper, belly mower and loader. Hop on it and get to work right away. Your tractor is a keeper, keep it in the family. It can do insane amounts of work. Enjoy.

[@richardguse3410]

Looks like a great deal. Suggest you respect the orange markings on the tach when engine is cold.

[@karimkalache712]

Channels been fire so far this year 🔥 All the best to you for 2023!

[@VTOutdoorServices]

Looks good from up here in Jeffersonville. Those are neat little tractors. I’m sure you could sell it for 10 all day long

[@alkachow8171]

make sure you let it warm up before revving, and make sure its at its lowest rpm before shutting off

[@buddyrevell6369]

That's a 12-15k machine. I run mine with 480lbs of cement on the back and it is a beast. You need weight on that in order to do work with that bucket. The only issue is you cannot add a backhoe to that model because it does not have the sub frame reinforcement. The tractor itself is very low to the ground so be careful on rough terrain. They actually sell a bottom plate for it. You did spectacular on that deal.

[@manbearpig2164]

Got a brand new bx23s 2 years ago, loader , backhoe, forks, box scraper , brush cutter, post hole digger, 26,000 dollars

[@josephcizek7030]

I have owned Kubota's since 1978 and have never had any issues. My wife has a 2008 BX2660 with loader, back blade, 60 inch mowing deck, 48 inch three point rear mount snow blower. I gave $12,500 when I bought it in 2011 with 247 hours. There is 1400 hours on it right now and no plan to ever part with it. I have 2 other Kubota tractors a 2010 L3600 cab tractor and a 1999 B2400 TLB plus a Kubota ZD23 zero turn. As far as I would be concerned you got a great deal. I see the tractor has the lift arms for a belly mower and your tires are called R4's and industial ag tire, as we have a full set of those on the BX and a full set of turf tires.

[@Julian-do7bv]

I have a little Mahindra Emax 22L with front loader and backhoe tiller and box blade and Auger I paid 27k out the door brand new I bought it just as everything was shutting down for covid the dealer called me 3 weeks later and told me had had someone there that would buy it from me for 30k because the factory told them they wasn't getting any for at least 6 mons but you will be shocked by what these little compact tractors can do just make sure you have enough ballast on the rear the front loader can pick the rear end up way easier than you think and yes make sure you get the top of the ROPs bar it could save your life

[@nathankim7664]

With no bites and only junk offers, trading the Silverado for a Kubota was an *aTRACTive* offer! I think you did well! Can't wait to see more of it! Are you starting the spring semester soon?

[@owenheffernan9355]

We have one for cleaning out stalls because it fits in tight spots. We named it the Baby Bota after baby yota

[@BK-ol5uo]

You made out like a bandit on that trade, ARV. Just wow!😳 Do some more videos of your K1500 when you get the time. Love that truck, hell of a find @ 60K on the odometer.

[@bradyjones8014]

My company has always ran kubotas, always fire up without being plugged in -30 in Canada, great machines

[@tcanthony2]

That’s a hell of a deal. That’s a keeper. I wouldn’t let that thing go for anything unless it’s bigger.

[@leonb2637]

This tractor looks like one that would be good for someone who has a landscaping business. Maybe you could find a roll cage online for a decent price to make it worth more and safer. Meanwhile have some fun with it.

[@sbogart2004]

Those are great tractors. Sold mine last year ( had two of the same size) for $13,500 with similar hours. Small but amazing what you can do with them.

[@XC0688]

Awesome deal. I love my Lx2610. Every so often check your hydrolic fluid level other than that these Kubotas are great

[@michaelmactavish4445]

im gonna be buying a $8,600 kubota gl11000 with 16.5hp diesel powered wich takes tractor filters

[@fhm5384]

Great deal! I have the BX22 and it is a rockstar! Do not underestimate that machine. It may be small but it has a big heart! I have twitched a ton of trees from wood lots and done a lot of side work for guys will big machines. Solid investment!

[@brandoncherry1651]

You did good no paint missing in bucket tires look good

[@corruptedo1]

What a deal!! You did great. Those tractors are solid.

[@masethephotoguy]

Made out like a Bandit! Based of condition, hours, and location (I'm down in CT), I wouldn't let it go for less than 10k. However, if it were me - I couldn't let it go.

[@Joelwee1028]

When I saw the title, I was worried you had traded the “new” 96 Chevy. That little tractor was a good trade for the high mileage GMT900.

[@livewithnick]

You definitely made an excellent trade. Tractors keep their value generally.

[@larrypratt5148]

We had Kubota compact tractors and RTV side by sides for basic transportation in the mine I worked at. They would weld a platform on the back that 3-4 men could ride on or could be used to carry supplies. Tough machines to hold up underground.

[@swamp-yankee]

I’ve got an 03 2500hd & the wiring in the clusters come un soldered. If gauges are coming and going that’s probably what it is. It’s wicked easy to plug a new one in but they’re about $300

[@stewtube1240]

Looks like a sweet deal you made ! Congrats ! Happy for ya ! I think it is Beetle approved ...I seen her waging her tail :-)

[@johnh2514]

I think that was a great deal! Good luck with the new tractor and happy new year!

[@999thenewman]

You did great. Patience pays well.

[@wesleyflatt1993]

Dude. That's a steal of a deal. Way to go!

[@jamesstout3430]

Hey Q-man! It's always a bonus when I start streaming my "shows" and I see a new post from you. I think you did good.

[@C0Y0T3]

You made out like a total bandit. Sweet tractor, always good to see another vid too

[@frankm8533]

$5,500 that's a good deal for that truck I saw a extra cab here same body style 4x4 150k it was $7500 definitely a good trade good tractor

[@robertmailhos8159]

Nice looking tractor 🚜 it's going to be a great tool for cleaning the driveway

[@anthonymcandrew529]

Another great deal! Happy New Year & happy tractoring.

[@rustyramblings5807]

I think you did quite well.They have a really good reputation.

[@waverider48]

You got a hell of a good deal; those are pretty pricey little machines; they're a "Sub-Compact" model tractor, the loader is good for small stuff, mostly meant for like mulch, just the hydraulics aren't meant to handle heavier stuff. Not that you can't do dirt work, just not what it's meant for. The tires are actually two different ones, the rear are R4 Industrial ply tires and looks like the fronts are R14-T tires. The R4s are a good compromise between turf tires and R1 Agricultural tires, still good tread but wont tear up grass. The R14Ts are even more a havsies between the R4s and R1s; still a good turf tires and great traction. The biggest thing about tractors is that they hold their value; they'll loose value once it's not "new", but there's a reason 30 year old tractors are still $10,000+. Your little BX is nice because it does not have any DPF (diesel particulate filter) junk on it. Keep the oil and hydraulic filters and fluids changes, it'll be good for decades.

[@lifelong5425]

That is seriously good trade....and, very useful in your neck of the woods.....

[@marcusgs12345]

That was a great deal, those tractors are really good!

[@redneckbryon]

Nice My neighbor got an almost identical machine. I think he said he paid around 10K Canadian for it about 4 years ago, but us Canadians unfortunately pay more for everything.

[@KenMrKLC]

Thing is cool! Maybe get an enclosed cab for it and a snowblower thing would be a beast for snow

[@organiccold]

That was a good deal and a nice tractor. Happy New Year

[@kevin9c1]

Nice machine. If you feel bad keeping it because of its value consider a Simplicity Legacy XL. They came in 4WD and are probably 80-85% what this is for waaaaay cheaper. They were available in diesel as well. I have a Legacy 20 with a loader, snow blower, mower, snow cab and cat 0 3 point. High/low axle, locking differential, real hydraulic power steering. Had like 311 hours. Bought it in NH for $1800, for everything. They are good machines. People just pay insane money for Kubotas and John Deeres....

[@bobbyholmes3985]

Good trade, keep oils changed and all filters at least once a year. Also keep Good additive in the fuel in the winter time.

[@ZeldaNumber17]

I got the same one even the same year! Mines only got 260hr on it and we use it a lot. You only gotta run the glow plugs for a few seconds, mine will fire if you just twist the key.

[@jifi-0178]

The glow plug time varies a little bit depending on how cold the temp. You can burn the plugs out if left on too long. You shouldn't need much more than 5 seconds for temps down to 20F. No more than 10 secs for temps down to 0F. For really cold places you would install a block heater (available accessory). As you can see, the tractors will start right up if maintained and with a good battery (just like anything else in the ARV fleet of toys.) I have the version that is 2 sizes bigger (frame-size) and enjoy it. Oh ya, the tires are type R4 (industrial = in between turf and agriculture). I have those on my tractor. The newest tire type recently on the market is now R14 (different tread pattern than R4).

[@sds433]

You should adapt your plow to the tractor. I think you got a great deal!

[@dave11686]

I don’t know anything about tractors but that was a nice GMT900

[@tobycatron2103]

Be careful around sticks. The fan for the transmission is plastic and a lot of people have shredded them. Kind of a pain to replace. You can buy a shield

[@nysportsfan9680]

great trade for you!! tractor looks great

[@MrZimmaframe]

Sorry i laughed when i saw that lawnmower size/tractor lol 😂. If it all works good it's a useful machine to have on the properly

[@Edogawa1117]

Happy New Year to you. Always look forward to your videos.

[@andyintex]

Great deal, you take a little care of it and it will be around a long time!

[@ACarGuy915]

Nice buy. I’m in Saint albans and couldn’t find a deal like that

[@IHcubcadet]

Those are great tractors. Engines run forever. I am blown away they traded it for that Chevy. Its worth well over twice. Very low hours. Hope it’s not hot lol. Maybe someone got divorced or something. But seriously that’s so cheep for a 2017 kubota.

[@petersmith7140]

why dont you give it a few minutes to warm up before giving it the beans?

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

I'm really surprised you couldn't get at least break-even for that. I saw a 2006 Yukon or maybe a Suburban on Marketplace the other day for around $12,000. Dealership of course, but, you are too.

[@Tylnorton]

Dude that's a steal. If your truck was worth $6500, those things can easily sell for double the price. But at the same time, you can plow, and even move trailers around.

[@MAGA_Trump_Warrior]

You did very well on the trade. Any piece of equipment is worth more to have around than what the book value is on it. You may wanna keep it and not sell it ever.

[@Adventures_with_Josh]

That was one heck of a good trade for sure

[@rrcoster]

Think did well on trade especially when tractor hold there value and you find it very useful where live

[@alanack67]

Reving an engine at no load when its cold wont hurt anything

[@richardthomas1743]

Yes Kubota makes a really good tractor. It is worth a lot more than the clapped out Silverado! 👍

[@Brooklynraised68]

Great deal looks good 👍

[@iowafox2206]

Not going to lie I would do this trade for my daily drivers. This is a dream tractor to me! Kabota are super nice little tractors.

[@theotherdanw]

Nice looking Kubota! I think you got a great deal!

[@scottwalter1156]

Wow what a good deal. Those are very good tractors!

[@danbartolini27]

For a moment I thought you got screwed then I realized how old the truck was and even with no other attachments I think you did well .,,of course you got screwed when you bought the truck though

[@DrGass-ur1ky]

Good snag brah where you at in Vermont im I'm Windsor County

[@jamespfitz]

LOL. Before you estimated your costs I thought to myself "$6,000." I guess I gave you credit for your time and talent.

[@jasonjgr8580]

Nice tractor, Think you got a hell of a deal.

[@wheelinndealin]

That tractor being hydrostatic really makes it worth something! You can get good money out of this machine

[@ThatDudeArvai]

You should rent that out to people to make some extra money on the side. It's a great investment opportunity!

[@85square]

those are great little machines, can be tippy though.

[@jacobhearns9724]

You got a steal, imo. Nice job.

[@jackb1000]

WHATTA DEAL!!!!! Great go'in Man.

[@hondafreak2755]

Very good trade,u should keep that tractor,it will serve well for u

[@LaLaLucky7777]

Great trade! Kubota tractors are Great

Bring it down to Pennsylvania or New Jersey and you will get over 10k for it

How’s the 96 Chevy doing?
