Owned 5030 for one year

[DDT]

My 5030 just had her 1st birthday last Sunday. After having 4 deeres before I really think Kubota has quite a tractor. I am more than pleased with it. 620 hours on the meter at this point. OH and the most important part, it has not been to the shop for any work to date.
Now the next step is to sell my JD front deck mower and into a BX1500.
Thanks to all the commints a year ago when I was looking.

Hiya DDT - wow, 620 hours is quite a bit for one year, I guess "tractor work" really is quite a hobby for you! I have 540 on mine in 18 months and I thought that was a fair amount. What kind of tranny do you have in yours? I do love my hydro for tree work with the varying terrain I encounter, and close quarters.

I have the hydro tranny, cab with heat and A/C. If I did not have to go through shoulder surgery last Dec it would have been more. I had to have a buddy come to service my truck and tractor untill spring came.
