I’ve finally made my decision.
I was going to go with the Kubota due to it costing a little bit more but decided not to for these reasons:
1. Loader hydraulic lines on the outside of the machine
2. The dealer tried putting me in the LE ( less features edition)
3. Weight to HP ratio
4. Dealer...
According to the brochure the MT 350 and MT 340 are shorter and narrower than the MT 3 42,47,52,57 thus making them a frame size bigger according to the dealer and separate brochures for them
Will do
Ginop is the only Kubota dealer near you. I’m curious on why that dealer lacked good service
on a side note, I hope you had minimal issues with that Tornado yesterday.
Gaylord took a beating unfortunately
Summerix is the dealer I would be going with.
I know Ginop sells NH, is that your backup dealer?
I agree with the lack of snow and reoccurring jobs.
Based on the weak dealer comment, can I assume you’ve had issues with the LS?
My gut tells me go with LS. The dealership seems to be hands down customer oriented. They answer the phone 7 days a week up to 10pm. I heard other good things about them on this site
The MT3 35 and 40 are a little bit smaller and lighter than the MT 3 42, 47, 52 and 57.
Same cab and engine
Different Loader, Frame and Front tire size
The MT3 35 is $1,000 cheaper than the 40
Another thing to Add is 0% for 84 months with Kubota vs 4-6% with outside financing.
same or close money at the end of the day when financing is factored in
The 45hp machine was the next frame size up if I recall. For 3k more I can go to the MT342 which is a frame size larger.
I guess I’m just trying to justify the price difference for the Kubota.
Not that this is bad, but I rarely see used LS tractors for sale
My Kubota dealer is fighting for my business as I’ve purchased from him before.
