Razor, I sure did like the 3010 better than the3000, I had to give up the ind. tires and the hi-end mower, but I think 15,000 for 4wd 3010 with kubota loader is pretty good price and my salesman was tough to haggle with. See if your guy can get close to this if you like it. I will give you names and numbers here in E tex if you need. ( hook em horns! )
