[QUOTE="zendog, post: 418981, member: 6830"] I own 3 kubota's. The BX2200 large riding mower with 3 pt hitch and front loader. It gets quite a bit done for its size. I own a 48 hp L48 which is a small contractor type tractor with a serious back hoe / front loader combination. I cleared land, dug a foundation, did footer and septic work with this tractor. It is tough and reliable. With a bale spear replacing the bucket, I use it for hay work. Kubota offers several transmissions, but the one I have is a "tractor for dummies" thing. My 65 year old wife does serious work with this and only gets into trouble when she backs it into something. I have a gentleman farmers tractor L5740 (57hp) which is used for field work and bush hogging but I can hook up a post hole digger to the PTO end. It has AC, stereo and a cup holder. This is my wife's tractor. It is 95 degrees outside now and I would be just as comfortable discing a field as I am typing this email. I had an L5030 (50HP) Kubota which I traded. It was just as reliable and rugged as the others but with a big round bale on the front, I had VERY little weight on the back tires. It was a little scary for an old guy like me. Before the Kubota's, I had a 50 HP Case. It was relatively new. It was rugged enough but it was substantially more difficult to operate and easier to get stuck in wet weather. For hurleyjd: Why do you think those JDs are made overseas? Perhaps because the three million dollar a year executive you want to have your money found it more profitable to export American jobs overseas. Personally, I would just as soon support a two-hundred-thousand a year Japanese executive as a three-million a year American. Given that perspective, I choose based on quality and price. BTW my most heavily used equipment is a diesel Kubota RTV with a cab. I use it several times a day. It replaced a gasolene Kawasaki with no cab. The Kawasaki was probably a better machine for my purpose. I like to have everything diesel but the Kubota has an awkward klunky shift. [/QUOTE]
