I am currently looking at a Kubota L3000 4wd tactor w/Loader and a JD 790 tractor W/Loader. The Kub. has a little more HP and weight than the JD. Both look like good machines. Does anybody have some input on these two tractors?

Richard, be careful when comparing tractor weights from catalogs. As I recall, Deere quotes their weights as "field ready" which includes tires, battery, fluids and I believe a 150 lb operator. Kubota's weights are "shipping weight" without tires, fluids or battery. Weight is a very important criteria in these "compact" tractors since they are generally traction limited. ....

I decided on the JD 790 because the dealer (very large for this area) was very helpful and hopefully will be there if I need service. The other, and maybe more important reason, is that the JD 790 has a subframe mounted backhoe arrangement. Although I have not bought the backhoe yet, I like it better than the 3 PH mounted backhoes. One thing I did not like about the JD 790 is that the lift capacity 24" behind the 3 PH is only 815 lbs. It has not been a problem, but I think the orange has more capacity. John. ....
