OK,
After countless hours of readin about Botas' all over the web, I finally broke down and bought my first kubota; with the help of my 2 yr old entry level JD L130 loosin its hydrostatic capabilities, at least when encountering a slight,"and I mean SLIGHT" uphill grade, talked to the JD dealer and they say these "L series" do have problems with the tranneys, and when I asked about parts? "Oh' they (JD) tell us to tie it to a post and mash the pedal, if it spins the tires all is OK, if not, replace or in my case, sell em a new tuff torq trannie at 5 to 6 hundred smackeroonies, now I think, Hmmm? This means that in a couple of years I get to do this BS all over again. I THINK NOT!
So after the dealer offered me a low dollar trade amount, I went to the bota dealership, and they sold me my first bota, A dirty and dingie B2200 diesel 4wd with a 60" belly mower and an LA 302 front end loader and allowed me 1400.00 on my junk deere L130, after I got her home I tried everything to bring off the speckled mildew and tree sap but nothin touched it even with a scrub brush, THEN ??? I got into the wifes cleanin cubbard and with the ease of some easy-off my bota cleaned right up with little effort, and polished and waxed to a showroom finish shine, Even my wife couldnt beleive it was the same tractor I toted home the day before, and as far as the Kabota review goes well its only been a few days in my garage, but man do I understand what all the bota hype is about, I finally got a tractor that is still willin to keep goin when my tank is dry,
What a powerfull lil orange machine.
