I went through the same process last year and ended up with a B7800. After one year, moving 300 yards of fill and topsoil, plowing snow, dragging out downed trees, digging postholes, and whatever else I can't say enough good things about it.

I compared the 4115 to the 7800 and bought based upon the total cost and the dealer. My Kubota dealer knew equipment, the local JD guy sold expensive lawnmowers to farmer wannabes with 2 acre lots.

I really don't think you could go wrong with either one. For me it was price that clinched the deal. I could live with the JD dealer not knowing much because I knew what I wanted and needed to get the job done.

I'm trying to put lights on also - it's tough trying to move snow this winter in the pre-dawn hours. My 7800 has holes already drilled right near the top in the lower half of the folding ROPS, right on the front. That would put the lights below eye level when seated, any idea if that would be a problem with the location and possible glare? If you used those holes you could attach the lights with a simple L bracket and a nut and bolt.

With the standard alternator how much light can you put on with out taxing the battery? I was looking at a couple 50W lights in the Northern Tool catalog. Figured that would be about 8 amps load.

I maintain about a 1/2 mile gravel drive with my 7800 and a box blade. Can't find a thing to complain about the tractor it's done all I've asked of it, but having worked for CAT I know the limits of equipment.

I do like the hydrostatic, particularly when using the loader. Beats the heck out of my the old JD collar shift on my fathers farm.
