Just signed on, working late at the office, so I can pay for one of these tractors, maybe both so I can keep all my new friends. I have four different dealers bidding within 40 miles and I know which one I plan to do business with, Tarzan, I enjoyed your email and I will be the first one to let everyone know how the deere works out. I will never protect or defend something I bought, tell it like it is!!!!!!! If your )$)#*@)$%$ BRITCHES, fess up. I also checked today going to also add a rear wiper, I also meant to add that another good thing about the deere was the steering ram wasl located behind the front axle. I want everyone to know the Kubota is one awesome machine and Tarzan, go ahead and order me a 5040, I had hydraulic positive traction front and rear on my big New Holland and if the Kubota had that over the deere I would have bought the Kubota, I've been a traction and 4 wheel drive freak all my life. I'm just about thru building my professional rock crawling truck. Five days before xmas and I'm going to get my wife this tractor
