Questions: 1) other than option to bale do i need 35 HP or over. <br>sc - serious loader work with good traction and

2) What is a good Kubota for small orchards?
sc - any of the Grande Ls (L3010 - L4310)
3i assume wheel base is of some importance, as well as turning ability on a grade.
sc - Yes
3) Lots of talk about 4310 but little on M4700, which is pitched by Kubota as best all around small ag/orchard/landscaping tractor.
sc L4310 , user friendly -- designed for various utility task as well as a good performer in the ag sector.
Is this a new model?
sc - "the Grande L family of tractors started in '93/'94
The L4310 replaced it's twin brother L4200 in '99
Is there any reason other than price to avoid low M series and go with high end L series?
sc - trans.(HST,DT,GST) options, user friendliness, on/off made easier for us old folks, cab options, tight turns, hands free operation for ORCHARD SPRAYING with WAND duties, inexperienced operators training and safety, hauling advantages, more hp in smaller package.
M4700 looks more like a farm tractor to me,
sc -- you got it
and is not that much bigger in size or wheelbase.
sc -- "that much," sometimes an inch may as well be a mile. It will either fit your tightest dimension or it will not. You should try to plan ahead to avoid "expensive surprises."

Anyway some have said that I could just get L2350 for $8500 used and its fine, but implements seem to be quite restricted as to their ability, and I will be doing things around the farm, and it seems like if one is going to have a loader it should be able to load some heavy stuff.
sc -- If you "buy right and at good value" and error in size/model selection you can trade without taking a "hit". The key is good planning and buying a good value. Avoid purchasing implements that will not hold thier value or disadvantage you if you have to sell quickly.
It would be nice to have a bale option, but there are so many farmers around here that bale it really doesn't make a huge degree of sense to pay a lot for just this capability.
sc - good thinking

Good Luck and happy shopping,
Steve

L3710s - Great Tractor<br>$19739,DT<br>$20146,GST<br>$20699,hst<br>All in stock,work ready.<br>Hi Chip,<br>We've been fortunate enough to have sold many of the new 10s series. DTs, GSTs and HSTs. All the buyers were encouraged to try all three transmissions and <br>fully understand the important PTO differences/operation on each model. <br>I suggest you establish your tractor goals, drive the two models. Then select the one that FITS YOU (your family) best. Make sure -- that if others in your family will be operating the tractor in the future, you give them equal consideration. <br>The hydrostatics - HSTs get

1. A tractor that comes to a stop, and goes to neutral, then to reverse at any RPMS, any incline, any PTO position WITH LESS EFFORT THAN IT TAKES TO "raise or lower your right shoe weight," No Clutch use for fwd/rev.
2. as much free hand use as possible
3. soft / feather starts at low RPMs.
(THESE UNITS ARE FANTASTIC from this standpoint, AND
kill off the "other" brands with one demo)
4. SAFETY/COMFORT- new, senior citizens, ladies and children for mowing operations -- all those folks interested in the safest tractor for "non-experienced operators - just now graduating up from a "lawn mower type tractor"
5. AS LITTLE EFFORT AS POSSIBLE TO COMPLETE A HARD DAYS/NIGHT WORK - Hard working loader and snow plowing operators. Your back, arms, shoulders will be used only a fraction as much as with the other models.
6. the best REVERSING and LIVE PTO tractor for mowing, tilling. spraying operations
7. A tractor used mainly for trailering, boat ramps, trams
transport.
The GLIDESHIFT GSTs are being shopped and purchased by folks who are seeking as goals for their tractor:
1. a shift system they have become "used to" and completely satisfied with the KUBOTA they traded-in or already have at home.
2. power turns with foot turning brakes
3. folks who prefer not to use their feet or legs for the
fwd/rev function
4. Farm managers seeking SET BY FACTORY SPEEDS, instead of leaving it up to the operator to "find the right speed" for certain applications. WHO DO WANT SPEED SHIFT ON THE GO and hydraulic shuttle fwd/rev.
5. Wanted a time test and proven - WINNER transmission, with hydraulic (no clutching) fwd/rev shuttle and speeds shift "on the go."
The F-2wd and DT-4wds with mechanical shuttle and 8x8 transmission have been the choice of purchasers seeking:
1. A value based long term proven transmission with SHUTTLE, and max. drawbar power to the wheels with preset speeds for basic farming and industrial applications.
2. A heavy duty, tough tractor with a cost saving @ $900. compared to the HSTs and $500 GSTs
3. The best value at lowest cost tractor on the market with shuttle transmission, power steering, independent live power take off, flat platform.
4. Folks who do not need to shift speeds ON THE GO nor hydraulic fwd/rev shuttle.

Both tractors are really nice. If you take the loader on and off lots ---- then do it on both units before making the choice. Deere does a good job with the de-tach -- but Kubota's system is great also. The key is --- How does the tractor feel under YOU. Feel the gears, speeds, noise level, on/off comfort, platform spacing, easy of controls-steering wheel-hydr. levers. Test drive, hard work demo, or rent them both. My choice is Orange -- I'm bias and feed my family selling Orange. The fellows next door at the Green place are fine gentlemen and need grocery money too. If you'll give the Orange HST a chance. to show how smooth it is... you may re-think the transmission choices...Good luck and have fun shopping.<br>Steve<br>Carver Equip NC

We have a very capable and competitive John Deere dealership right next door to us on Highway 301 South in Dunn, NC...ie: Harnett Tractor Co, (910)892-6171 speak to DAVID LEWIS. They're really very good and sell a lot of green painted tractors and I never hear a complaint from our mutual customers about the products or service provided by the fellows next door.Both, our marketing efforts is based on providing excellence in the mix of value,service, flexibility. Come on over check us both out. We'll take our best shot / as will the friendly folks in the GREEN SHIRTS.At the end of the day -- the prices will be very close and most folks make a purchasing decision motivated by another issue. The issue maybe (and is for many folks) that they appreciate and are willing to pay a little more to the dealer who does all they can to make shopping as convienent as possible by providing internet communications.good luck -- the more folks who drive in to see them, the more will visit us too.

Hi Barry, we have had vey good service and experience with the L2650s and later models. We see very few L2550s. I suggest you test drive and demo the unit with a pto implement to make sure the 2 stage stage clutch (for live pto) is operating properly.While you are doing the demo - what the hour and your wrist watch to assure yourself of the
