Kieth, I suggest you decide which style/series tractor will meet your goals. <br> B vs L<br>B - hydrastatic trans, easy on/off, LOW UNCLEARANCE, limited traction, live pto, user freindly (safer) for inexperienced operators, ladies, and teens.<br>L - not a flat operators deck, better visibilty, more traction, more underclearance, not live pto but MORE actual tough work ability<br>This is the first choice you need to make, then the other isues will fall into place. <br>B2400 and L2500... are priced as excellent values, especially if you have bargained for WARRANTY. <br><br>TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE L2400.

good luck,

<br>interesting, not many like this one mentioned. The tractor with 1800 hrs after 5 years use is not bad at all. The R4 tires are a

The Glideshift trans. is "the best" one available. The "add on cab" hurts value compared to the factory type cabs w/ac and two remote hydr. control valves as std. equip. that were available on L4200gst 4wd models. The availibilty of the loader control JOYSTICK valve inside the Sims cab may be an issue you need to check carefully. The Kubota designed cab and loader control valve is very neat and easy to reach/use, without taking up valuable cab space. Caution in shopping is needed when testing the transmission shifting through the different speeds and fwd/rev hydr shuttle. If the tractor was used as a HD working industrial unit --- the reason for selling now -- maybe a hidden problem or agenda. Make sure it doesn't hestitate too long between speeds or direction. If it does, have an experienced Kubota mechanic advise you. I'd suggest a rental or real good demo (with load and warm up time) before purchasing. Or get a power train warrranty that will last you through the summer. The cosmetic appeal (looks) of the tractor will be very important in its value and will give you a good feel if the unit was "abused" or "babied". If warranty is not an option --- SHOP and BARGAIN very carefully.
You'll want to compare it, " price wise", to other L4200gst w/factory cabs (AND A/C) The air conditioning is a very important factor in many ares and the tractors that have it SELL/and/SHIP all over the country. Therefore, the extra value pays a dividend even for "cold country" buyers when they resale or trade-in the used tractors.
FLIP SIDE-
Sometimes folks DO NOT get the factory cab because it usally cannot be used with a three point hitch type backhoe. The Sims cab, here, maybe a result of this factor and may play into your planning as a PLUS instead of a negative.
good luck, keep us posted

<br>Scott, the numbers look real good on the L2900gst and the L3710 hst. If you really don't need a much larger tractor to meet your goals, you might consider looking a new L3010hst or L3410hst. You'll probably find the cost very,very close to the price rental L2900gst. With the new L3010,etc. you'll get about $800. worth of

The tillers out sell the the disc harrow and plows in our area (SE) 50 to 1.<br>They usally do more tillage and leveling in one pass than a little light harrow does in 5 passes. Also they pull much easier than a plow and leave the sedbed as far closer to planting condition than either of the other tools.<br>The tillers are more useful in lawn turf bare spot repair and landscaping

The serious gardener may desire to "turn over the soil" with a "bottom moldboard plow" then use the tiller to level up the seedbed.
good luck..
ps... remember to make sure your new tiller pto shaft is NOT TOO LONG when fully collasped. If it is, it will damage the pto housing of your tractor when in the fully raised position.

<br>StevePA said he had 40 acres of woods / one acre cleared. Plus he wants to push/load/dig and .. some mowing. Thru the years, of taking a 3pt bh on and off an operators has a ton of bruised knuckles, pinched arms and

The B20/B21 comes as either loader or loader/backhoe unit, not just a tractor. The loader is NOT a QUICK/ATTACH. In fact, it's almost a non-detach. The really tough and hd loader/bh frame design is the reason these units can take the tougher work in stride. The extra weight of the frame give the little tractors more push power thru better traction. You get a bonus safety factor because the extra weight is low to the ground improving the center of gravity.
As for disadvantage in mowing, as mentioned in your post, the dealer may have found an issue that I am unware of. We have sold and leased well over 50 B20/B21s and haven't seen a disadvantage nor have we yet had a customer come back and request to trade for a B2150/B2400. If one wants to remove the loader while mowing they would NOT want a B20/B21. We have seen this issue arrise only with commerical/residential mowing/mainteance contractors.
The estate managers/home owners usally leave the loader on 99% of the time.
You can install turf and/or ag tires and/or oversize turf tires on these units to improve tasks applications.
The HP concern for various size pto implements would favor the B2400. However, the B20/B21s handle a 60" finishing mower well.
Somefolks (my friends) want the larger heavier units ie: L35s, L3010s, L2850s for push and loading power + more unclearance. Some folks (my friends) want small compact units that can pass/travel between close trees, store easier in the shed/garage, haul easier behind small pickup. " I stand - exactly- with my friends." Good Luck. (adv)www.carverequipment.com "> HP advise
