Until recently I've been leaning toward Kubota and was looking at other manufacturers more as due diligence than anything. I'd originally been looking at B series and the dealer redirected me to the L series. A thread I'd posted on the Kubota forum lead me to re-evaluate what I'd been looking at. I've also been to see the NH and Kioti machines. So many choices!
I had been comparing the 1533 to the 2538 but now I'm looking hard at the 1538 Shuttle. The big differentiator for me was that the BH on the 1538 uses the same seat, just turned around vs. the 2538 with two seats. My sales guy was out delivering a tractor so I didn't get the price on the 1538 yet, so that could dampen my enthusiasm.
I'm looking at the 1538 Shuttle with the FEL, BH, 7' landscape Rake, pallet forks, probably a splitter and separately a WoodMaxx Chipper, Ratchet Rake and/or Piranha.
Do they even sell the service manual for these machines? I've not had much luck finding anything.
Also, on the trailer for these things, is the utility trailer style generally preferred over the car-hauler style? The two dealers that also sell trailers both sell the utility trailer style and that seems to be less useful to me.
