    2850e vs 2860e

    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...

    3rd function on MF 2860E

    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.

    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...

The local dealer that I liked the most originally gave me a price of...
