Soon my shop will be finished and I will at least have a place to keep a tractor out of the weather. So, I'm ready to buy. At one end of the spectrum I am looking at a $15,000 Kubota L4330 with all sorts of bells and whistles. Another option I am considering is a $4750 MF 150 that I would need to add a loader to. The link ends on the Grand L are something that I am not really impressed by at all. I learned how to back up to an implement on a MF 135, get off and hook up and go. Bells and whistles like that are not something I feel are important. My main area of concern is that of transmission shifting differences. I know with the MF I will be clutching alot and shifting between forward and reverse during any sort of loader work. Is the hydrostatic transmission REALLY worth the premium over the old and proven MF?
