Hi all. What a journey! So many models and so many considerations. Just when I thought I had found the brand and price for me (Kubota 4930 with loader and 9'Kubota hoe for $29,700) I hear about the ease of backhoe hookup and wild loader specs on the JD 4610. My ignorant opinion is that at this hp range, losing 4 hp to the Kubota is nothing compared to the benefit of ease of switching implements. I digress. I would be pushing my budget at the $29,700 (delivered to VT from NY with no sales tax) for the Kubota but got my first quote on the JD here in Taxachusetts at $31,772 before delivery and taxes (5%). So the question to the board is: Is there any hope of getting a JD 4610, Hydro, 460 loader and 48 hoe for under $30,000? Thanks for the help

I am considering a variety of new or slightly used tractors including new Kubota 3710, John Deere (new, model to be determined) and NH 40D new. One used rig that has come across my radar is a 2120 (approx 42 HP I believe with SS trans)with 540 hrs. It comes equiped with SST, a Woods frame mounted 9 ft backhoe and mechanical thumb (what a great attachment!), cab w/ heater and 3 yrs left on 5 yr warranty and looks to have been VERY well maintained. Owner claims to grease after every use and to do more than required maintenance (judging by his other equipment and the 2120 I believe him). Price I would accept would be approximately $22,500. My question to the group is: What is the record on this model and how would it stack up against the Kubota and comparable JD machines? I can live without the HST that I would choose if I went with a new JD or Kubota but the reliability, performance and overall functionality are the prime considerations for me. Anyone have any thoughts? Much appreciated.

Good point on the OEM vs. after market suitability Tom. It makes sense that the OEM mount would have fewer compromises required than an aftermarket mount. I hadn't heard about the JD being easier and that could cause me to think about going Green. Thanks

I am narrowing in on the purchase of a tractor. Likely something in the 38 to 46 HP range in Kubota or New Holland. One of the questions is which 9 foot backhoe to get. The choices I am hearing are Bradco, Woods and Kubota. No one seems to be recommending the Kubota. Most dealers are suggesting the Woods. I saw one in action today with a thumb and it was very impressive. One dealer was absolutely fanatic over the Bradco. Does anyone have any experience with the Bradco or the Woods, and why is it that no one is recommending the Kubota?

Thanks

I am shopping for a tractor (my first). I am new to the board and think it will be really valuable. I hope to contribute more than I take over the years. I saw a demo of a used NH 2120 today and the loader seems to accomplish all that I can imagine I would need. I am generally drawn to the Kubotas and have a good deal on a used 3710 available but want to be sure that the FEL is as capable as the NH I saw today. THe Kubota FEL is the LA682 and the available specs are pretty clear Lift Capacity: (Bucket Center) 1499 lbs & Breakout Force 3055. The NH site http://www.newholland.com/na/Products/frontend.html is less clear for the FEL model 7309
giving only 2 numbers (1,350-2,450 lbs)and no real details on what they represent. Does anyone know how these 2 FELs stack up?

Thanks a lot
