    For anyone having a bad day
    Read below and then take a wild guess as to how much of a :crapstorm: This guy started on a forum with thousands of members . (Kubota BX Board)

    "Less then 2 and a half months. And I'm over 100 hours. All these posts of people FINALLY hitting 50 hours 6 months after their purchase confuses the heck out of me. How do you justifie such a purchase without having work for it to do? How is it you seem SOOO interested that your even part of a Facebook group dedicated to these tractors yet you can't find a use for them??? I find it a true shame. These machines have the ability to take anyone's side business or small starting company from exactly that to a full out operation. Yet I constantly see and hear of them just sitting.... can anyone shed some light as to why this is SOO common?"

    Apparently he has to justify ownership of things .... LoL I am betting to this significant other:}

    And with over 150 flames so far he responds with

    "Sorry some of you are so butt hurt over a simple question. Looking for some insight to if you somehow manage to justifie your equipment with minimal hours or if you just have too much money to burn. This group is supposed to be to gain and share info on these machines but it seems anyone who uses it for real purposes is just in the way of the weekend warriors who don't like to go thru the work involved to do things right. Shame."

    LOL Sigh

    It’s the serial #1 car.
    I have the privilege of working on it and the crew while it races.

    Ok...I started a reply then my neighbor came over...anyway I just use the paper towel trick when making spaghetti sauce when the meat is done. The wife makes meatloaf so not sure what she does.

    The Kubota....there are people with equipment that have to justify every hour of ownership and it better pay more often than not. Not saying small tractors can't make money because they are more than capable but, I consider equipment of any size as a step and back saver. Anything to take the labor out of the work. That's usually a 180 deg view of what contractors think. They are all about production, production, production. And still (keeping with my view of equipment) if I had the money I'd damn sure have a small tractor, if for no other reason, just for my convenience to move whatever it is I want to move and putting in hours is just nonsense. A friend at work has a small "farm" and he just recently bought a used Japanese spec Yanmar tractor. It's old, 4x4 and just bigger than a riding mower but it's pretty awesome. He scrapes his driveway, repairs irrigation ditch, pulls a brush cart...total step saver. Work smarter, not harder and I'm sure many of us know the aches and pains from the sins of our youth. So any advantage we can get is well worth it. Now, having said that, at work I have a schedule of miles and hours I'm supposed to put on each piece annually by month. I don't know who the hell came up with that thing but they are pretty skewed. I'm supposed to put just as many miles on my damn tiltbed trailer as I put on the dump truck. And if I'm hauling dirt, how does that work?!! Anyway, "douche" is a great reply.

It’s gettimg so hard to find enjoyment time to work on them... we will race we think this year but north east as far as I know. Way to early to know. Cars are torn apart. Well the elva is together now though. Just picking at stuff..
