Comparing the 'orange' machines.

[IXLR8]

IXLR8, I truly am happy for you and wish you the best of luck with your new machine. The CTD (not sure what that is, but I have right side rotator cuff/tennis elbow/wrist problems myself) will truly justify a fender mounted joystick, I love mine. And, just for the record and for those reading this thread and tractor shopping at the same time, fender mount relocation kits are availble for many machines. Dave

My budget would not let me go to the B3030, never mind the L series. This is the first I have heard of a relocation kit, if I had known it was available.. then Kubota would have gotten a much more serious look. Maybe my local dealer is not as good as I thought he was... he just lost a sale due to not informing me of this.
Basically "Tennis Elbow" is a CTD. Repetitive motion doing tiny amounts of damage over time culminating in a problem that really never heals.

I think some are having a huge problem differentiating Facts from Opinions.........

PLEASE give it a rest. Multiple repetitive posts stating the same thing are ridiculous. Each person is allowed to decide what works best for them and give their opinion.

IXLR8, good luck with your new machine. Glad you found what makes you happy. That's what it is all about.

For the valve to be mounted on the fender is an option that has been available for a few years. Some ask, with a cab it's the best way to go to contain heat in the winter.

....and the cost to mount the valve on the fender?

There is about 190 dollars difference in the valve. The installation when assembing is the same for either.

So the valve that comes standard on the CK30 is $190 option on the Kubota. Thanks for the info.

I consider it a plus to have the two locations for the valve. I've seen many who prefer the valve to the front as it is where they are used to having it on other tractors.
The valve that is located to the front has always been lower priced then the fender mounts for all brands that have the option.

Art, you are the consummate pitchman.
