I came across a killer deal on a Kubota MX5000 Utility Special with only 240 hours. Figured before I bought it I'd better consult with my local JD dealer, who is a friend, and whose District Manager son lives across the road from me- didn't want the first news of my defection to be his son driving by and seeing me on it. Told him about it, and he smiled and said "Two things- I can't come anywhere close to that deal, and if you decide not to buy it, call me immediately so I can buy it for resale." I think most of the reason for the good price is that its a pretty basic tractor- no remotes (although the hoses to the loader come apart, so it would be easy to add them), no draft control, no shuttle. It has a Hi-Lo + reverse beside the seat for your left hand, with Lo and reverse in a straight line. I use if for loading quite a bit, and I've always had to clutch and shift on my loader tractors, so its not much of a problem.
I find the "Utility Special" designation a bit curious- because the only thing special about the tractor is that its not special at all. As said, very basic, no frills. I think Oliver did the same thing- their "special" tractors were also very basic, with several otherwise standard features deleted, probably so they could get it down to a price point that would satisfy us skinflints.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
