Don’t we all wish that we lived close enough to Messicks to have Neil and the gang as our local equipment store.

Yes, Neil is a very passionate sales person. What some who have left comments here may not know is that Neil doesn't just work for Messick's, his last name is "Messick". Makes a difference. Thanks Neil for all your videos. All the Kubota dealers around here recommend Messick's videos to their customers. Wish you many more successful years ahead.

Much appreciated. This was a great video for someone (me) who hasn't used a tractor in 30 years, and what I was used to using was made in the 1940's-1960's. Lots of changes and this makes me a little more confident when I take delivery of our L2501HST up here in Wisconsin.

Absolutely great video!! This should be mandatory viewing for all dealers. I certainly wish my Kubota dealer had spent half that much time with me. I ended up buying an undersized tractor. My Kubota dealer was so bad I finally sold my B2620 and bought a JD. I sure wish Messick's had a dealership in Maine!

Though not mentioned, there are some advantages to a shuttle-shift transmission over the hydrostat, so it's worth looking into. By the way, I just placed an order for oil and filters to do a 500 hr. maintenance on my Kubota MX4700. Messick's is hard to beat for after-the-sale service and parts.

I had rented a John Deere 210k tractor that trash emissions system on it, it would not finish so you're stuck trying to run with a derated engine wasting fuel wasting time unable to do the damn job I needed it to do terrified to actually take it what I needed to take it as it had no power. The 4 wheel drive wasn't working not like there's a lever to engage it JDs are worthless considering it's a rental unit I sent it back after wasting a day fooling with it getting nowhere what a piece of garbage waste of time waste of money you think they would credited me something hell no. That's why I bought a real tractor and sure as hell not a new one mine's all mechanical no computer BS anywhere considering all this garbage of right to repair and everybody trying to make it where you can't work on a damn thing the hell with that what's wrong with these idiots.

I have a fair amount of experience driving a tractor and working a loader. Just now getting to the point of shopping for one for myself. This is a great video to show some of the things we can't see in your other videos. (what a person looks like sitting on a B series, size, where are controls, etc) But I think the gentleman in the video did it the right way. Do all your research first, watch the videos, read the specs, etc. then go sit on all the models you are thinking about. I think if you just go straight to the dealer, especially as a newbie, it will be extremely overwhelming. Thanks for all the videos you have put out, top notch!

Thank you for the show & Tell. The information you SHOW on the Differences, not just Price. You try very hard to get the customer the RIGHT size for their property. Believe me, we got the smaller Kubota mower for larger Grass around open space under our elevated water tank. If only I had a salesman like him, to show the big Difference on the larger tractor. Always go one size or two bigger. I would spend so much of my Day mowing, would be a world of different's if I had gone bigger. The Battery will Die like he said at the time you need to do your job most. Always replace, get a trickle charger for battery It makes a big difference on my 1971 Large Batteries for my old Detroit Diesel with Double set of heavy duty Equipment Batteries. The front Bucket Leveling is so important, though the Green Machine's had that option, the flat plate on top of the front bucket, makes Leveling so smart. I have to guess where my Level bucket is on my 1978 front bucket. I feel it out when I'm parking her. I will start looking for a flat spot on top of my Bucket, thank you so much for that great information watching this video.

My usage model is pretty similar, 10 acres mixed use but mostly pasture with no finish mowing and my b2650 does great. It is a trade off, there are times where heaving something heavier would have helped but I also find the B series pretty manageable in my wooded area and I am not sure I would be saying the same if I had an L series.

Great video. Very informative. If I were purchasing a tractor my main uses would be loader, finish mowing, and a roto-tiller, what would you recommend? To give me an idea of what size machine I'd be looking for. I was thinking a BX but maybe a B would be more ideal? I should add that I have a small property only 1 acre, and about 3/4 of it is grass, and the roto-tiller would get used maybe once or twice a year on a small garden area about a 20' x 24' area then my old Troy Bilt roto-tiller would handle the rest of the year easily between the planting rows. Would a BX handle that type of use, loader would be used around the driveway and help with moving snow out of the driveway entrance that the snow plow throws into the driveway as they go by. So pretty light work overall, but I can't put a loader or tiller on my lawn tractor, so I would eventually be looking to move out of a lawn tractor up to a compact tractor. Hope this information gives you a bit of an idea to get started. Thanks. Only wish I lived closer I'd love to work with Messicks when I'm ready to purchase. You couldn't happen to build a store in the Boise Idaho area would ya LOL.
