ISEKI TG5390 or KUBOTA L3130?

[simat]

I am a newbie to tractors. This forum has been great in getting me up to speed with ideas and information.

I have 100 acres of hilly country in Western Australia. The main uses for the tractor will be for earth works for the house i am building, maintaining the long driveway,firebreaks and the thousand and one other little jobs around a rural property.

Have narrowed the search down to a 30-40HP tractor with hydrostatic transmission and FEL, in particular the TG5390 or the L3130. I can't find any info on the TG5390 (maybe it is branded as an Agco or Massey Ferguson in the States) on this forum.

Any comments on these tractors would be appreciated!

Thanks

Have you posted in the Iseki forum at all to see what feedback you get there?

Thanks for the reply.

No i haven't posted on the Iseki web site. I might try that.

It doesn't look like Iseki is a big name in the States and the TG series is new, mind you it is not a big name in Australia either.

I am faced with the old dilemma of going for the tried and trusted brand or a lesser one with better value for money and a better dealer.

Thanks again

Simat,

The Iseki section made reference to in the reply to your inqury is at this website under the specific brand forums... by the way, Iseki does not market directly to the Continental US.... only Hawaii... Rainbow Distributors is a dealer there, you can search for their website or contact information is also at the Iseki section under distributors and parts suppliers......

All Iseki's in the US are marketed under the Massey, Agco and Caterpillar names and colors..

Thanks for the info,

After some research i have found two variants of the Iseki TG5390. One being the Massey Ferguson 1540 and the other being the AGCO ST41
