Well, i went to a dealer in western MA who sells bothe JD and Kubota so I was able to drive Kub 3010 and JD 4310 side by side. I really like the small compact size of the JD and the new features of the JD a lot, however, the Kub is about 3,000 less with loader as Kub has a $ 1400 rebate on now. I thought the Kubota was quieter and I supose the bigger tires are an advantage perhaps with traction or not getting stuck so easlily? Also, The Kubota has a clutch on the left side which puts everything in neutral in case of problem which may be an advantage. But JD brake in on left side which makes sence also.
If price was the same i might go for JD...but my instinct still says Kubota will be more reliable over the years and the price is right.
Does anyone have any thoughts before I pull the trigger. My mind could still be changed if I knew the JD's were reliabe...but many posts about loos wheel nits and other problems has made me JD shy.
