Sorry orange I really wanted to go with a Kubota 2150 but when you can get a Cub 7305 30 hp. compared to 21hp., with 900lbs. more weight, 600lbs. more lift,a larger tractor but only 4 in. wider, with hydro. trans. a larger operators deck, more cu. ft. capacity,with loader, box scraper and hyd. top and tilt kit option, plus a tilt steering wheel (spoiled huh.)for $1500.00 less. I just couldn't pass it up. Plus a dealer who treates you like a friend rather than someone who couldn't care less if he gets your business or not, there just wasn't a choice. Bye orange, Hello Yellow and White.

Sorry Kubota Lost

Well I finally made a decision. I started looking at used tractors and discovered that most were worn out pieces of junk, because who would sell there pride and joy unless there was something wrong with it. I needed reliability for years to come, not something I have to work on all the time. I started with an older Kubota B-20 with loader and box scraper for $8000.00. I had an experienced mechanic look at it and found just too many things wrong with it. I then went through many more tractors from JD to Kubota to Ford and New Holland. I really wanted a Kubota for its Rep. and reliability, so I went to a dealer who is not to far from me, all major brands are close to me so distance is not a problem. I did an extreme amount of research for 3 months with various brands and had my heart set on Kubota, that is untill I sat down and talked prices. I was shocked to say the least but I still wanted Kubota. The dealer was very knowledgeable and courtious but was very stubborn about price dealing so I decided to sleep on it, (I almost did it). The next day I stopped by the Cub Cadet dealer one more time to talk turkey. I was looking at the Kubota 2150 for $21,500.00 loader and box scraper inc. with top&tilt Hyd.kit option. I was looking at the Cub 7205 or 7265. I decided on the 7265 but he didn't have one in stock but could get one from another dealer, he then offered me a 7305 for $500.00 more because he had one in stock. I ended up with a 7305 with loader, box scraper and optional hyd. top & tilt kit for $20,428.00. Not only does it have 30 hp. compared to 21 hp. on the Kubota but it is only 4 in. wider-still narrow enough to get between rows of grapes, but it is 900 lbs. heavier, lifts 600 lbs more, is overall larger, has a more open operators deck, and for bells and whistles it even has a tilt steering wheel-which I have allready found to be of great use. As far as fit and finish I have only found the hyd. hose routing that needed adjustment. I am extremely pleased with this purchase, I know I could have saved a lot by buying used but like I said I want this tractor to be around for a long time. I have really put it through the paces scraping our 1000 ft. driveway and have started moving enormus amounts of soil to level out our front yard to take in a fantistic view. This tractor can't be stopped even with a full load in soft wet soil and on a steep grade. The hydro. trans. and power steering is a dream. I wanted orange but god am I glad I went with yellow and white. Hope this letter helps pursuade some buyers to go with a superior (for the price) tractor.
