Kubota have had the compact range of equipment sewn up for years now with many a new kid on the block trying to steal a march.

I purchased the three cylinder, diesel Kubota B7001 compact second hand and I have to say, just like the ones we hired in, it does everything it says on the tin.

I have just rotovated an area of ground that has been used as a infill for a while so it had it's fair share of stone, brick, some plastic and wood yet the Kubota handled it with ease.

Not only did it rotovate in low third gear without power loss but it managed to deal with a very steep incline (as seen in the picture), although I did have to use the four wheel drive and differential lock to keep good traction.

Whilst the tractor unit itself is no where near new - I bought it from a local dealer but it has been imported from China - it is excellent condition and (touch wood) has several good years life left in it.

On the back I have an Agric ALJ35 98cm wide rotovator which makes easy work of the firm soil and chops it up finely.

A little note of interest if you are planning to hire in a tractor/rotovator combination to prepare a new lawn, clean up a vegetable patch or prepare some newly levelled top soil.

Use low first gear to chop up the ground. This will help to create a workable top to start with. After you have prepared the top surface, changed to third low gear. The extra speed will allow the unit to act like a leveller-grading machine.

How Cool are Kubota Tractors??!!!

So we had our backyard landscaped the other day and the contractor brought a small little excavator/backhoe and I was blown away by how well it worked and how nicely it maneuvered around the dirt, and the obstructions. I was so impressed that the name of the mini-excavator stuck in my head - KUBOTA. Below is some information on Kubota Tractors and such.

The Strength of a Big Machine in a Compact Excavator
In addition to superior horsepower and performance, the Kubota U17 delivers low noise and vibration levels, exceptional fuel efficiency and compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's 2008 Tier IV emissions regulations. The Kubota D902-E3 engine teams up with an 11.9-gallon-per-minute hydraulic pump capacity to boost versatility for a wide range of tasks. For additional efficiency, the dozer arms on the U17 are extended to optimize clearance between the dozer and bucket, making soil and rock collection close to the machine simple and efficient. The U17 has plenty of power for heavy loads and tough excavating jobs with a quick coupler and bucket breakout force of more than 3,000 lbs. And, with a compact 3-foot, 3-inch overall width, the U17 is small enough to fit through almost any gate - but with the machine's hydraulic, expandable variable width tracks - the U17 offers balance, stability and functions "big enough" to get the job done.

Safe and Comfortable Operation with Easy Maintenance
From safety features to enhanced operator comfort, the Kubota U17 is equipped to be efficient and productive. The Roll-Over Protection Structure (ROPS) canopy ensures safety and security on the job. Dual- flange track rollers reduce de-tracking on slopes during operation, while the tie-down rings provide a convenient way to transport the U17 safely when it is not in use. The high-back suspension seat provides optimum comfort while the two-speed travel switch on the dozer lever allows for faster operation while freeing up space on the floor for a wider foot area and lessened operator fatigue. With protected, top-mounted, boom-cylinder, motor hoses and front hoses, repair costs are reduced and durability is improved. Operators can also trust the advanced technology of the U17's digital control panel that provides alerts when maintenance is due.

Working Range and Optional Implements
The Kubota U17 has an 11-foot, seven-inch maximum digging height, and an eight-foot maximum dumping height to reach elevations needed for virtually any job. Combine that reach with a seven-foot, seven-inch maximum digging depth and the U17 is as versatile as it is powerful. To further worksite versatility, optional implements for the Kubota U17 include buckets, spark arrest muffler, travel alarm, hydraulic auger, canopy lights, quick coupler and hydraulic hammer.

After the experience of seeing the Kubota mini-excavator in action, I had to write about it a little bit and build a site on it too. As with all the sites I make, I make a link here to promote it a little bit.

Christian Loans From California to Newyork

There are millions of Christian families out there who try to get all of their services and products from Christian businesses and other people from their own congregation if you want to put it in local terms. If you are one of the millions of Americans who are in need of a Christian loan then I suggest that you start by looking online. Even if you don't get your loan approved online at least you will have a better idea and a better understanding of the terms of your personal financing product work and how they play out or the duration of your payment periods.

Whether or not you're a true Christian, or a half-baked Christian, it really will much matter because you are going to be dealing with the same kind of interest rates (APR), and everybody else in America who needs alone for debt consolidation for four a car purchase or for a home mortgage purchase. I suppose it is a really good English but what you do I'm tired.
