As noted, Fuel Mapping in ECU. I waited and purchased the 2860 and I love this machine. I don't even call it a "compact" as I use this tractor as my primary utility tractor on the farm and it does a great job of doing the workload my 70HP handled such as mowing hay and moving round bales. I...

Following. My dealer will sale me the kit for around $1000, but same ordeal. They highly recommend that they install it. I'm currently running two hoses to my rear to support my third function, which is fine for now, but I do want to add the true 3rd function.

I forgot to add that the price for this machine is right around Rural Kings with FEL. Here's some quotes I got for similar 55HP tractors and FEL's. MF 2860E - $32,000 (includes some extra options and filled tires) RK 55 - $31,000 JD 5055 - $42,000 Case / NH - $34,500 Kubota MX5400 - $36,000

Just took delivery of my 2860E I was looking for something with a little more horsepower than my Kubota L3400 (which I had for 18 years and absolutely love). I needed rear remotes and something around 55HP to run my mowers, rake hay, and handle some bigger chores that the Kubota couldn't...

Following, as I'm looking to trade my Kubota L3400 in for a slightly larger tractor, and the 2860E seems to be the perfect fit. Now if only the dealers can get these tractors back in stock. I'm also not opposed to the slightly lower HP 2850E. I really don't know what the difference is other...

A few of you had asked me to post my opinions on how this tractor fair-up to real farm work. So here's my response. I now have owned my tractor for over a month and have about 20 hours on it. We have used it for just about everything. It handles a post auger without any issues. I actully...

Well, I have had my L3400DT for almost a month now, so I thought that I've had it long enough to write a review. I purchased this tractor to use as a primary utility tractor on our farm. I also purchased a 60” Woods mower with this tractor to mow most of my yard as well as the pastures and...

I couldn't help posting this picture of my son's new love. We have other tractors on the farm, but he has a personal attraction to the orange. I'm now generating a list of ad-ons I want/need for this tractor. I'm looking at a grill guard, weights, FEL, rear blade, and some other goodies...

Well, we picked up my L3400 and 60" woods finish mower on Thursday. I also picked up my dad's B series tractor and mower. With my woods mower in my bed of my truck, the two tractor just fit on my 18' trailer. I have 1 hour on the new tractor and I LOVE it... We have a few dry days ahead, so...

Thanks so much to the folks on this board, I have learned so much and I excited to be picking up my new L3400 with 60" Woods mower on Saturday. Sadly, I could not deal with the local three dealers and I made my purchase from a respectable dealer on this board. All and all, not a bad drive as...

I had a not-so-fun day at the local dealership yesterday. After a month of researching and calling about 10 other dealers in a 100 mile radious, I recieved prices on an L3400 with ag tires and folding ROPs from 11500 ~ 12300. The local dealer that I liked the most originally gave me a price of...

I'm looking at purchasing either an L2800 or L3400. I only need the tractor for mowing 3 acres of land, brush hoging about 10 acres (some steep ground) and a raking tractor for 50 acres of hay. Also plan to use the tractor for snow removal. My local dealer quoted me a price of $12K for the...
