I appreciate your answers to my last call for education.
I think I have things narrowed down (as of right now...) to the following choices:
Kubota L4240 have a dealer in Fairbanks
John Deere 4120, have a dealer in Fairbanks
New Holland Boomer 3045 dealer in Anchorage (almost 400 miles away).
All have cabs, all are 4WD, very close in things like HP, lifting capacities with the FEL and 3PH. The NH has a continuously variable transmission rather than an HST / HST +.
I've not yet driven all of them. I did drive a Kubota L3940 here in town. I'm thinking I'll call the three dealers down in Anchorage, and if they have an expample of each type (or close), I'll make a trip down to the big city to drive each of them.
Before then, I'd like to hear any prefferences out there on these machines..and why. What to look out for. Is one engine/ transmisison / hydraulics, etc known to have a particualr problem? Is getting parts from any of the companies likely to be a problem in a couple of years? Any input / advise is appreciated.
Hope the big snow storm down there wasn't too hard on any of you.
Thank you,
John
