THE GOOD OLD DAYS
It's not a wise plan to go deeply into debt. but 1 suppose there will never be a better
chance for the man with only a thousand dollars to secure a home and a means of
making a living than there is right now.
Kubota built the thrifty little B5100 "tractor with economy
in mind. But they didn't economize on its features.
It has a sturdy 12 hp 2 -cylinder diesel engine. standard rear
PTO. 6 forward and 2 rcycr.c speeds, hydraulic 3 -point hitch.
independent rear brakes, differential lock. and your , hoiir of
wo- or four-wheel drive.
It can handle a mid -mount
mower, rotary tiller, plow, front
loader disc harrow, and rear blade.
Not to mention a tight budget.
