My property is about 5 acres. Main uses will be grading, moving rocks, brush hogging, install gravel driveway and yard. I may try to mow with the tractor some day, but that is a secondary concern. My main concerns are running a 5ft brush hog and getting a FEL with as much capacity as possible. I would also like hydro drive. I have only looked at the Kubotas (Big B's and small L's), and the dealer recommended the L2800 because of the larger frame and FEL capacity (compared to the B series). He quoted me $15,300 with FEL and I don't want to spend much more than that. I called the John Deere dealer and he said their comparable machine is a 3120 and this would run me $18,900. I asked if they had a machine similar to the L2800 in HP and size for less that $17k and he said no, but the JD was much nicer than the Kubota, but couldn't give me any details. I'm not going to spend that kind of $, so I am not going to bother driving to look at the JD's. I really like the Kubota dealer, but hate to pull the trigger on something without looking at other options. Any recommendations on other models/brands that are similar to the L2800? Any feedback (good or bad) on the L2800 would also be greatly appreciated.
