I "thought" I had decided on a JD 790 which I really liked except the positioning of the shifter and lack of HST. Also looked at a JD4310 and Kubota 3130 but these bumped out of my price limit and frankly I was turned off by all the plastic. I wouldn't have a plastic shifter on a car; these tractors had forward/reverse plastic shifters where they would be exposed to elements, snag on branches, etc.- not very "tractorly" in my opinion.
Anyway, after thinking I had settled on a 790 with FEL and 4X4, JD bushhog, and box blade out the door considerably under 15K, I saw a Kubota L3000 in an ad. I don't know why the Kubota/Deere dealer didn't show me one of these. It looked very competitive in size and features with more HP and lift capacity. Any feedback on prices, features, capabilities, weights, etc. between the 790 and the 3000?
As always, thanks in advance. I've learned amazing amounts on this site.
