erparis,

Be sure and talk with "Rosy Brothers" in Dryden Michigan about Kubotas. I think you will like them and their prices.

Doesn't that $15,900.00 price sound high? I gave $17,200.00 in September for my new 2012 L3800 w/fel, loaded tires, quick attach bucket, cruise control and bucket indicator-delivered.
Just curious. Just want to see erparis get a reasonable deal.

lunky55,

I agree with you about the $15,900 being a little high compared against a good deal from Rosy Brothers on a L3800. Depending if erparis is tax exempt or not and could save on sales tax on new, only then does the L2800 at $15,900 sound good. An offer of $15,000 and no tax sounds more appopriate for the L2800.

At what dates do teh EPA tier 3 & 4 kick in for this size machine?

I believe L3200/L3800/L4400 are currently all tier III. I would not expect a change to IIII until the next model change and that will probably be a few years yet.

I would look for something with a cab since you want to move snow with it.

He doesn't need a cab. Cabs are for girly-men.

I do chores similar to that with a B2920 and it works very well. i don't have a snowblower though and plow instead (.5 mi driveway). A cab would be nice in the wind and snow, but torture in the woods. I always have my tractor in tight spots when pulling out logs or doing work in the woods. If you dress warm enough with a face mask then it isn't too bad, even in a driving snowstorm. Make sure to get a mid pto if you want a front snowblower, a rear one works fine, but personally I wouldn't want to drive in reverse that long.

At the risk of being thought a sissy, I want a cab, but that seems t obe a very exxpensive option on any brand/size out there.

It never hurts to check into one you may be suprised on the price. I have seen used b series with cabs for around 20k.

Well, count me as girly then. I decided at my age with arthritis, etc., that I wanted my creature comforts, and wished to avoid heat/cold, yellowjackets, dust, etc. Since I had one time to buy a tractor, I decided to get the cab with air and heat that I wanted.

Sounds like erparis has another decision - does he want to be a sissy-boy or a girly-man.

I became a girly-man last November. :D
