God bless my Bota
Model Year: 2007
Having never owned a tractor or even a riding-lawnmower in my life, I wasn't sure what to buy when I got my new 11 acre home back in 2007. Somehow, God blessed me and pointed me towards the Kubotas. I think the rude John Deere dealer I first visited helped in my decision a bit too. I as looking at one of the only 3 CUTs on a lot full of combines and huge tractors...I suppose I wasn't big enough for him....but that's another story. After a lot of reading, talking to my online friends and some eBay crawling, I decided I wanted a Kubota. I bought my B7800 in Springfield, Ohio at "Comptons" and the salesman Jim made me feel right at home. I was looking at a stripped down B3030 on the showroom floor but I was a bit hesitant about the price it would be for all the features I wanted: FEL and MMM and Turfs being the most important so Jim told me about the last B7800 they had in the "back" that just happened to be configured the exact way I wanted and he went and fetched it for me. As soon as he drove it into site I knew it would be mine! Now 3 years later, I can say, it works just as hard as it's good-looks make you think it will. I have not had a single problem. I maintain a 900 foot gravel driveway, and I plow it in the winter, I mow 6 acres finish and 2 acres with a bush hog. I have planted over 40 estate sized trees and dug about 100 fence posts. I've hauled gravel and dirt. I think the thing that really impresses me is when I go out to the barn to start it up in sub-zero weather, even if it hasn't been started in a week, it fires up every-single time. It has all the power I need and no matter what crazy job I come up with for it, it has never failed me. I can't say enough good things about my Bota. I honestly don't see how Kubota Inc. can stay in business. The tractors are of such good quality I can't see myself buying another one for 10 or 20 years! Let's see GM or Ford try to stay afloat with that business model!
Pros: Dependable, reliable, works hard, looks great.
Cons: Lasts too long!
