Thinking about buying a new Kubota...

[MChalkley]

I'm thinking about buying a new Kubota. What do you guys recommend?

 

[MChalkley]

Oh, shoot! In my haste to be the first poster, I missed something: /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

And one more thing: Muhammad, THANKS FOR THE NEW FORUM!!!

Now Mark, are you talking about a new Kubota, or another Kubota?

[Muhammad]

No, thank YOU (guys) for being so energetic and supportive. Otherwise there would be nobody to make a new forum for!

Well, I guess I should've provided more details...

I'm looking for something that will work my L4310HST into the mud, but won't be any bigger, and will turn at least as sharp as what I've got. Also, my Bradco 609 has to fit on it, as well as my other implements. I would like at least double the loader capacity as my modified version with the bigger lift cylinders. 75 PTO hp would be nice. Michelin XM27's standard all the way around. Capability to push over 12" and smaller trees would be big plus. The rest of the list escapes me for the moment, but this is a good start. This is beginning to sound like those personals ads where people ask for the perfect mate...

 

[Muhammad]

Hmm, well those are all very modest requests of a possible candidate. Reminds me of a couple of years ago and a request for a 40HP, 4WD compact with a host of 'big tractor features' ---that would fit in the back of a pickup. I guess that one is still in development?

Mark, you need a military surplus tank to play with.

 

[MChalkley]

Yes, but I've grown attached to the 3-point hitch, and I don't think I could live without it now.

I think Del's BXM220080 hit the nail on the head. Have you ordered yours yet?

 

[MChalkley]

Yes, I have, but I think it'll be long enough before it gets here that I'll start looking for something else in the meantime.

Visiting a dealer. (Where does that one get me now in the promotion list?)
