The smoke from California is visible here too... in Norway.

We have crazy sunsets here in Ohio. One day the smoke was occluding the sun so much, you could almost look at it.

Arson

They should use those California liberal tears to put out the fires. Fill the seat! TRUMP 2020!

Messick's Equipment Reminds me of Deep Purple, Smoke on the water!

Crashz28 a tractor less than 100 hp is pointless without a loader

He could start a Podcast Tractors 101

When I was checking into buying a tractor, I figured I'd want the 3rd function valve on the loader at some point, but the dealer said it could be added anytime and wouldn't recommend adding something like that to the financing...I think its less than $1,000 to have that 3rd function added including a few hours of labor....however, in my case I may never have it added later down the road because by then I usually have an empty wallet...so sometimes its a better idea to roll everything into that small monthly payment regardless of what the dealer recommends, they're not the one making your payment or buying that accessory/attachment/implement...so do what you want its your money and purchase of the equipment. Get what you really know you need up front while the dealer has the tractor. For me I have to borrow a truck and trailer to get it and the implements/attachments home after purchasing a new machine so it makes far more sense to get everything before I pickup the machine.

This is my same thoughts as well...I've had this issue before with vehicles too. It seems like a savings at the time skipping a few accessories, then a while down the road you wish you had it and don't have that extra $$$ lying around to get it....for a tractor/implement/attachment purchase, it is definitely a sit down and do your homework very thoroughly before jumping into buying because all those implements and attachments add up very quickly, but if you are lucky enough to be able to get one of those 0% deals you would be money ahead to do so. Sometimes when you purchase implements/attachments up front you get $100 or so off for each additional implement you buy when you buy the tractor as part of a package deal....so it makes sense to buy what you really need up front, at least for me it makes a lot of sense where I may never have the money lying around in the future when I suddenly decide that one attachment would be so useful...yeah cool, well umm now what LOL. I was looking at the Kubota BX2680 as I'd use the extra HP for PTO implements I plan to use, but its just never worked out to be able to get one, and now this year refinancing the house to get my name on the mortgage and my mother's name off of it who passed away 3 years ago, has taken up even more money, so kick the can down the road even further on ever getting a tractor...and the 0% financing for those who qualify for that could have bought it with cash in the first place, the rest of us don't qualify for that, not even sure why they boast about it because the majority of people don't qualify.

The loaders on the BX, and B-Series tractors seem pretty easy to install and remove, not sure on the larger L, MX, and M series but yeah those small tractor/loader combos make not buying the loader a stupid move really, and when it comes to resell later, the loader is a huge selling point, even if you only use the loader a few times a year it'll pay for itself pretty quickly.

@@wildbill23c I totally agree!

That's why you need to really sit down and think about what you need and would use. Walk around your property and think of the chores you do or would do and base your implement/attachment needs on that rather than jumping up and blindly buying a bunch of stuff....also, think of some of the things you may only use once or twice a year and could possibly rent or borrow instead of purchasing to have sit around in your way all the time...think about storage solutions too, do you have space to store everything? If not why buy it, its additional clutter you'll be tripping over, kicking, running into, and cussing at every time you do.

If you have the money lying around next spring to install other accessories awesome, but many quickly realize down the road they aren't as rich as they thought they were and thus all those later plans of adding this or that never happens due to lack of spare $$$ lying around. Been there done that many times. I get everything I know I need up front now...at least with a vehicle purchase I found that out a long time ago get everything when you are at the dealer.

Danny Bowen never blood red for 3 days in a row, generally Michigan has very lame pale colored sunsets. I’ve never been out to the west coast but I’ve been all over the rest of the country and Michigan has the least impressive sunsets overall. Lately though, each evening has been worth at least looking at.

I have not

Ok, must’ve been someone else. Thx for the quick reply.

Yes, but it ties up your 3rd function circuit which most people want.

You can absolutely do it, for example you can have a manually operated diverter valve on your loader that toggles between 3rd function and actuating the locking pins. Of course you'd have to get out and operate this valve when you want to switch between your remotes and your locking pins, meaning that the benefit is negligable if you're switching between a lot of hydraulic implements. But if you have a lot of non-hydraulic implements that you need to switch between regularly then you could just leave the valve in locking-pin-mode and save yourself a lot of time and effort having to jump in and out of the tractor. There are of course 3rd function kits that are designed with multiple outputs specifically made for hydraulic locking pins, effectively giving you two buttons on your loader stick instead of one, but those tend to be a lot more expensive since they are more complex.

Depending on the model, you can swap this stuff around in just a few minutes.

Search on google the name and model number. I watched that video first. I am buying the MX6000. That video has like million views I think. And I sent email asking for the exact things to be added now. My dealer advices me the back hoe attachment may be be a good fit for it. So I am trying to learn that now. Might be mixing it and adding few others I am learning about.

Attachments, yes. Tractors no.

if you see it, click it and send me the URL it takes you to so I can block it.

Messick's Equipment you don’t like Deere?

@@MessicksEquip maybe he's being told by a outside force to buy a deere haha

I wonder if it's like Amazon and you get charged a certain amount with each click. If so Neil will probably click the heck out of it but not buy. lol

@@MessicksEquip I did and posted it in reply to another one of your vids. Also, solved the spamming issue by submitting to the KZfaq's blackmail Premium subscription.

Yes, they have for years

Yes, but you most likely don't qualify for it, unless you have extremely good credit and could pay cash for it up front, you don't qualify. Their loan policy is quite strict.

And AC

I have a LP15- series. I'd go bigger

Any dealer could put it on during the setup process.

Foo Manchu yes. Labor costs for field installed attachments are more than labor costs from the factory, as the factory doesn’t have to charge for any preparation labor, as it will be part of the build process.

the factory does not install cabs on this series tractor. Everything on a cab is from the platform up, so there is little savings doing it all in one shot (except the financing, trucking, etc)

I have, look back

...? because they are really slow?

​@@MessicksEquip I made a mistake.... I just went back to look at the paperwork... the total cost for the 3rd function / install would be $1000.00.

@@jenniferfoster787 Yep its expensive to add that function, at time of purchase or later. Its cheaper at time of purchase since they're assembling the tractor at that time or otherwise setting it up for you...but later on its an additional cost because of the additional regular shop labor rate. Either way its expensive for no more than what it actually is and does. Just like the rest of these toys, they're expensive because they're made to make your job easier and the manufacturer's know it otherwise they wouldn't be selling them like crazy....wow my dealer hasn't had a single BX tractor on their lot in over a year now....so glad I am not in desperate need of one. Yeah I could borrow a tractor if I needed to but, I don't like using other people's equipment.

Don had had some days out of the office sick. Call 8002223373

Buy later....yep, 30+ years later and I still don't own a tractor. Probably never will at this point...fun to dream about what all you could do with one and all the time and work you'd save.

Did one just this summer with a grinder and a hacksaw to finish. It took five minutes. You sure you weren't cutting cheese?

@@roflstomps324 💪

Angle grinder?

For me, it is the opposite. I will be coming home (or actually getting it delivered, hehehe ) with new tractor and all the accessories and my husband has not a clue! Lol.

Mine was 0% financing. I can keep my money put it to work for me now. To me a no brainer.

Most of the time the cash discount is so minimal that you'll end up ahead taking the 0% and making some interest on the cash elsewhere. Not a fan of unnecessary loans myself, but purely on a cost basis your actually not always ahead paying cash.

When one finances that person never comes out ahead. Banks need to make money and operate as a business-hence folks paying interest. Billionaires say that credit is for poor people for a good reason. That is why ultra high net worth folks have virtually NO personal credit history. Try to make it so that the bank makes you money and OWES you money. -Open a CD! Have money earning money. Use their modus operandi.

That's what I am suggesting. Take money from the bank of Kubota and invest it in another bank at a higher rate of return. When cash discounts are zero to a few hundred bucks like they are now, this makes good fiscal sense

About 20 years ago to very wealthy surgeons in the state of Connecticut won 100 million $ in a lottery. These two guys had net worth of about $20 million a piece from their work and from family inheritances. What they did before they claimed the lottery money was form a corporation with shadow owners and DBA’s. When the corporation they formed went to claim the money they didn’t have to really pay the lottery tax because their corporation got the corporate tax break. I do not know the fine nuances and particulars of how they avoided not paying the lottery money chunk that usually comes off of a winning. I’ve noticed however that people with money are very good with money and know how to put it to good use. More importantly- they know how to hide it while making more money.

Same goes for cars.

I wish I had someone to teach me. I absolutely wish I had the knowledge. I will be trying to learn for sure. Did not grow up a farmer. Wish I had. Would of loved it. Never too late! I am 47 and jumping in buying my mx6000 now.

Do you actually live in Dallas? (That is where I am )
