I'm trying to decide between a jd 3203 and a Kubota L2800. I plan on getting it with a FEL. I have been qutoed 16k for the Kubota and 16-17k for the JD. How do these prices sound?
Are there suggestions on one over the other?
Thanks!

I don't know a lot of the performance values of the deere of that model as it isnewer but I'd not even consider it unless it was a three range hydro. I've driven enough hydro's and the three range is so much better as I find the bulk of all work being done in the middle range and there is no shifting or range changes involved in operating the tractor. ....

Thanks Art!
Is the $16k a reasonable price for the 4WD HST tractor and loader? Would you recommend R4 or turf. I'll mostly be mowing, but landscaping work occasionally on my 6 flat acres. ....

Unless you are working on loose soil that is wet I've found that the turf work great for most all jobs. If the ground is wet the turf will likely dig or mark the turf less. If you are going to be working in loose soil then the bars of the industrial tires might give you more to grab with. ....

I have the L2800 with R4's and love it. I was very torn though with whether or not to go with the turf's. Sometimes I wish I had. I am not slighting JD in any way, but the L2800 is hard to beat for the price by anyone. That price sounds fair. ....
