There is a grease fitting between the pedals underneath the tractor that is often forgotten to be greased and lubricated. On my 4300 which had hte heavy pedals, they are now very smooth and easy to operate without any mechanical adjustments.

I had the same dilema as you are having in April, 2000. I had both dealers bring out tractors to my property to try. I tested the Kubota 3010 GST and a John Deere 4300 HST. I did some cutting with a 5' cutter on each tractor and felt the JD had more power. Let me say that both tractors are well built and ran very smooth. I also checked around on used tractors and found that the JD's at least in our area have more re-sale value than any other tractor. This was important just in case I want to move up to a bigger tractor in the future.But the main reason I bought the JD 4300 was that I had much more confidence in the JD dealer than I did the Kubota dealer. He cared about my needs and concerns and gave me much more confidence in his product and service. He showed me why his product would do the job and never put any of his competition down. The Kubota dealer did not do that. All he did was tell me why the other products are inferior without telling me why his product was better. By the way, I paid $700 more for the JD than the price I had for the Kubota. Do I feel it ws worth it? Yes, because this tractor has been one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have had no problems and I love my dealer as he has called me every month to make sure all is OK! I guess what I am telling you it is more important to have a good dealer behind you than anything else. I hope this helps you make your decision.
