The L3000 is a good tractor for the money -- like others have said, you must stop to shift from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to third -- they have no sychronizers. You can shift from 3rd to 4th using the clutch while moving.

The L3010 GST has a 8 position glide shift -- move to any of the speeds without stopping or clutching. It doesn't rob the PTO of HP like the HST (hydrostatic transmission). The GST also has a lever by the steering wheel to shift from forward to reverse or vice versa without stopping.

GST is a little less expensive than the HST also. I opted for the GST. I had a old tractor where you had to stop to shift -- the GST is much much more convenient.

My wife finally had the determining factor, "The 2710 doesn't look like a real tractor."

We decided that the 3010 would have a better market for resale if we needed to do that.

Besides, when driven, it just seemed like much more tractor for the money. The 3010 cost us only $1,100 more than the 2710 -- both with front end loaders.

Noticed the date of rebates has expired -- on the link, but my local Kubota dealer said they have an $800 current rebate on the L3000 -- I didn't ask about the L3010.

I'd like to hear from this board about what may suit my needs the best among the Kubota small tractors. I saw a Landscape Contractor with an L3000, and thought it looked ideal for me. Then I came to this site and read the boards and now that I see there are choices, I could use some advice.

My uses for my 5.6 acres (2 acres clear 3.6 in woods):
1. Drag my 300+ ft. gravel drive (it washes out in heavy rains).
2. Mow 1.5 acres of yard -- lots of trees, but mostly around edges.
3. Bushhog 1+ acres (for next door neighbor) and keep some of my woods clear.
4. Mulch trails, shrub and flower beds, etc. Move dead trees.
5. This will be weekend toy and then my retirement toy

I have an old Fordson Dexta with a frontend loader, and I definitely want a loader -- amazing the things I've found to do with it. I also already have a 5 ft. Southern Brand "bushhog" and box scraper.

Which of the small Kubotas would you recommend?
Which features would you recommend?
What brand finish mower would you recommend?

Thanks,

Jeff

I am looking seriously on at buying a new L3000 with 4 wheel drive and a front end loader. I've been getting quotes around the low $14,000 area including an $800 rebate figured into that price. Seems a little high.

Can anyone help me with thier experience?

Thanks. (I posted this on the Kubota Price board also.)

Looking seriously at buying an L3000 4wheel drive with a front end loader. What should it cost? There is an $800 rebate on it presently. I'm getting costs of around $14,000 after the rebate discount. Seems a little high.

Thanks,

Jeff
