I've got about 15 hrs of hard work on my 2800 now - I love it! I told my wife the other day that having the tractor was almost like having the internet - I'm having a tough time remembering what life was like before it!

I drove both the B7800 and the L2800 today and was impressed with the overall feel and size of the L. What I liked most was the way the loader attaches to the tractor and that and it had a smoother operation compared to the B7800 as well as being heavier duty. Another bonus is the stick-hst and the cupholder! ;-). I did noticed the throttle lever was very stiff compared to the B. Having driven neither model previously, I was leaning more towards the B since it was a $500 less and more HP, but after test-driving am now thinking the L will better suit me. Mostly due to the added weight, wider stance, more bucket capacity, and overall less vibration (yes, I noticed this considerably more on the B). One disadvantage to the L is the lack of mid-pto offering but I suppose a RFM could be used if I ever decide to start cutting the lawn with it.

Here is what the dealer will do for me:

L2800/HST/4wd/FEL - $16,400 (matched an out of state price)
Field Mower - Bushhog RZ60 - 60" - $900
Box Scraper - Bushhog SBS600 - 60" - $700

Does this seem average or great pricing?

Cheers,

As others have said pricing varies according to region. That being said I paid $15,900 (before taxes) for my L2800 HST / FEL / Filled R4's / Folding ROPS earlier this year, and $1175 for my Woods 60" cutter. There was a rebate from Kubota for $300 which actually brings the tractor price down to $15,600 now that I think about it.

The throttle lever is adjustable. I reduced the friction on my L3400 since it was real stiff. Works great.

good to know, the dealer said thats the way it should be so it doesn't "self" adjust while mowing, etc but just seemed to much so..

I think that is basically true but I adjusted mine to a fair amount less and it still stays put.

Same here - did it just this last weekend on my B2910 - it was so tight and "sticky" that I would often overshoot the rpm I wanted because of how much force I had to apply to get it to move at all.

Loosened it up and shot a little LPS 1 on it and now I can adjust it easily.
