Kubota B2920

[bama7]

My B7800 (loaded rears, R4s; decent traction esp when hanging an implement off the rear) tamed a LOT of my 40 acres. I highly doubt any other machine (excluding an industrial one) could have done what this B7800 has done. Nearly unbreakable. 1,800 hrs on my B7800. I've put on about 1,100 hrs. Only once was it not able to return back home: popped off the hydraulic return hose.

Heel-toe, um... geez, big deal: two tractors, one side-by-side and one heel-toe and I have zero issues switching between them. OP, seems like you're looking for excuses to not pull the trigger, and, well, OK, I get it, but if you can't adjust to something like heel-toe I have to wonder whether you're able to really take on complicated tasks. (with the side-by-side travel pedals on my Kioti I will often jab the wrong pedal- just happens, even after 700 hrs of operating time)

BTW - Tooth bar on bucket works pretty well to break up soil: I even, gasp!, do a lot of back-dragging (sometimes lifting the front-end up in the air while doing so) with mine (as noted above, the B7800, and from what everyone else seems to indicate is the norm for the B-series, is nearly indestructable).

I have owned 3 tractors so far in my life. If I live through tomorrow I will have owned 4. I joined this forum to learn from people with experience. I obtained the information I needed to make my decision. If I am to spend my $12,000 it will be for something I am comfortable with. You can do the same with your money. I am glad you have experience, 700 hrs. I seriously doubt I will put 700 hrs on mine in the rest of my lifetime. I use my tractor to get things done and enjoy myself at the same time. There are many brands of tractors and not all of them operate the same way for a reason. You like heal/toe then good for you, but I don't. I worked on and around jet aircraft from 1966 until 2005 when I retired. They are somewhat complicated.

MY POINT was to instruct others. I have TWO tractors with different Forward/Reverse pedal configurations- I am able to adapt to both. It's not just me making this point about this, there are several on these forums who also make this point.

Good for you for working on "jet aircraft," I'm sure that whatever that was was instructive.

Oh, and I've got a combined 1,800 hrs of seat time on my two tractors: plenty to understand the nuances- hence my insistance in knowing what I'm talking about.

Hardly. See my signature.
My first new Kubota was a 'B'.

I see your signature, and???????????
Read post 26.
I am a Kubota Tech and have been for many years. About half of our customers that own BX, later B and LX series are my size or bigger. Not once have I ever heard a complaint about the tractors because of their height or shoe size. I am not sure how you came to your opinion of there not being enough room.
