kUBOTA l45

[Tailrotor]

Hi , everyone

This is my first post and wanted to see if anyone else on here owns a Kubota L45 TLB. I wanted to hear what you have to say about the tractor and your uses. Here are some pictures of mine that I bought last June. This is really an awesome tractor and work horse.

That is a nice looking tractor what kind of grapple is that? It looks like the Anbo.

Yes it is an Anbo 5ft grapple. I have done a lot of work with it this last year and it has been one of the best attachments that I have. I leave it on all the time and use the bucket when I need it.

Awesome tractor...sometimes I wish I had gone bigger than the BX24, but right now I am content. Maybe an upgrade after my loan turns right side up

I first saw that machine last year at the AG show. At last Kubota put an
HST into the L39. An excellent TLB, I am sure. Did you look at the
competition before buying? JD's 110, or the Yanmar CBL40 perhaps? What
made you go with the L45?

See you at the AG show. Just a couple of weeks away now. Nothing like spending some time at that hot-spot Tulare.

Back to the topic.

dfkrug , Hi

I have to be honest here, I did not look at the other two units. But I did do a lot of reading on all the tractors out there. And I already owned a BX2230 & B26. So I kind of bleed orange if you no what I mean. And I was still paying on the B26 and I knew no one but the Kubota dealer would give me what I wanted for it toward a new tractor. John Deere does not want used kubota tractors. But I am the proud owner of a BX 2230 & L45 now. Kubota does make an great tractor.

So that means you tried the Kioti, too?

Anyway, I understand your decision. It's always nice to get a chance
to compare/contrast similar machines, esp when you are about to spend
over $40K.

No I did not try the kioti either, I don't even have a dealer around me to try one. Nor do I know were one is at. The Kubota dealer is 8 miles from my house and a John Deere dealer is about 30 miles use to be two but one closed up. And as I said before I all ready had two Kubota's. And I have some neighbors that have had some for years like 20 or so and they said there rock solid and I have come to see that myself.

And what the heck its only Money. Can't take it with you and I have no kids so I have to spend it on something.
