I had an L2201DT which is 4WD. I sold it for around $3000 with a brush hog. It was a very dependable tractor. It is a Grey Market model meaning you wouldn't be able to get a lot of parts from your local Kubota dealer. It is basicly the same tractor as the L245 US market tractor. Same engine. Mine had about 1500 hours. No real issues with this model that I am aware of. I wouldn't give more then $2500 for it, just my opinion. It is a lot of tractor for the money. As with any tractor, look for radiator condition. Oil contamination. Leaks, etc....

If you go to a dealer with a parts request, say you have the L245 dt, don't say the other #. They get real P***y when they find out you have a grey market tractor, won't want to sell you anything!

You might get "real P***y" too if someone asked you to do something that could cost you your livelihood. It is a Kubota USA policy, and dealers can have their dealership pulled for violating it. We used to sell Kubota greys, and had a good relationship with a Kubota dealer for parts. When the edict came down years ago, we stopped selling them, even under the zennoh label, as we do not wish to sell what we cannot get parts for on a consistent basis.
