I have just aquired a new to me older 6x4 gator. It has had a few parts taken off but they are still there. THe unit looks complete and comes with an extra transmission and engine of unknown condition. Has a cab with doors. But no bed. The bed is a non issue, I can weld and it dosent worry me. What does concern me is the cost of replacement parts. I am used to doing all my own repair work and can pretty much rework anything i decide too. Componently they dont look too complicated but parts diagrams can be decieving. <br>
<br>
Just wondering what to expect as far as a rework. If it is gonna cost a mint for repair parts "IE buying from a dealer" or can I get them from other sources. <br>
<br>
Thanks for any contributions and for this board. There is alot of good info and I have been reading here prior to making the decision to buy this toy.

I just purchased a L3010HST after MUCH research. From reading, talking to owners, dealers and finally, operated as many machines as I could, I came up with the following:

My opinion: there are few bad choices. I wanted a hydrostatic transmission and that ruled out Kioti and Massey F. That left New Holland, JD and Kubota. I found fewer users in my area with service problems (the dealer matters a lot) among Kubota users. I like a lot of little things better w/Kubota than JD. Fewer electronics to potentially fail, more substantial loader, metal rather than fiberglass construction and slicker 3 pt hitch to name a few.

That said, I've friends who love their JDs. I almost bought one.You'll regret neither when you're sitting on top.
Good luck

I've given much thought to a rear mounted snow blower but get a stiff neck thinking about going in reverse that much. My road is steep and narrow. The $$$ that go with a front mounted device are equally intimidating. What about a rear blade in conjunction with a FEL bucket?
