Kubota L175

Post by Vivala446 »

My other love is a 1973 Kubota L175 that my grandfather bought new at James Sanders Nursery in Paducah, KY. He got it with an IH 310 plow, an IH 110 disc, and a Woods Billygoat 48" bush hog. He built his own cultivator out of a combination of an A/C one and horse drawn one and had a trailer built using the the front axle out of a 57 Thunderbird (complete with the hubcaps intact). He used it until 95 to truck patch a few acres and after that just for mowing until he was unable to anymore around 98. I sold it in 06 like the fool I am and was able to buy it back in 17. I use it do keep some weeds down for my dad but other than that I'm working to slowly restore everything back to how it would have rolled off the lot. I'm nearly 40, but there's still part of me that feels like I'm 5 every time I pull the tarp off.

That’s a nice size tractor. I’ll have to look that up on tractor data.

I'm sure it's a beast, and a nice tractor. I had been looking for a Kubota myself for some time, but the prices they go for around here... :$$:

I've owned more than one Kubota and I can honestly say their tractors are worth their weight in gold but their lawn mowers are no good.

I was looking for a small tractor with a loader, and 3pth so that I could also do garden duty with it, plow, till. But a Kubota with a loader and find a tiller for it, crazy money. So I ended up with the 644 and I already had a tiller and plow, so at the end of the day it was much much cheaper. I mean, at least 12-13 thousand dollars cheaper than a similar setup with a Kubota.
