I think it was better in the long run going new. I went back and forth with new vs used but the pros vs cons was much higher with new. I looked at few brands as well. I looked at Kioti and John Deere. But Kubota won. Having one vehicle built in Japan and the other vehicle 1/2 American 1/2...

Being the dealer is close they told me it helps if I need service they can pick it up on the way through since I am very close. I could almost drive the tractor home.

I went through my homeowners and that was an extra $95 per year with $0 deductible, b2601 tractor, 60" loader/60"mid mount mower & rim guard was $28,700

Well I jumped off the used one and left the money in the bank for other investments and went new with 0% for 84 from the local dealer that is 8 minutes from my house with good support and a warranty. Not saying I hope to need the warranty but after seeing the deck usage of the used one I am the...

A very long post with a outcome that is unfortunate another manufacturer don't really care and move on to the next person. We can only try to make the best decisions when we purchase our equipment. Not saying the OP did not do that, but he definitely got hosed by the dealer.

This is the used one and isn’t that QA? I am still learning the difference QA or SSQA.

That makes sense. I only saw them on Kubota the most, I hardly saw them on the JD's I was looking at. Either way I still like Kubota. I am leaning on going with the used one to save the large amount of money. Even 309 hours really is not much for the year. The tractor does not look beat up...

It has the LA434 loader and looks like it has the flip handles on the bucket. Also why do so many front wheels need rewelded. I have looked at several and 1/2 seem to have broken front wheels welded back on.

I know this has been talked about often. Does anyone see issues buying a low hour 309 B2601 it is a 2018 model with the L434 loader, 60" belly mower and rear quick connect. The new one has the L435 loader and 60" deck as well. The used one is $14,600 and the new one is $28,500 with 0% for 84. I...
