Dang I thought for sure you would get a better deal than me! Nothing wrong with Kubota though. My neighbor has had zero probelms with his tractor. Mine leaks when it runs. Go figure.

My local HD has 20-30 of the L118's and 4-5 of the gators. L118's are sitting in crates OUTSIDE stacked up 4-5 high. Surprised to see they are not protected from the elements. Nice little lawn tractor for the $$$.

Apparently there not selling were only selling ~65% of projected sales in hd stores 98% of goal in dealers. So the next 3 weeks is make or break for us..
The bags are suppose to protect them we have thousands upon thousands sitting outside in jefferson city stacked that high.. we get some in that sit out in weather about a month or so to audit i haven't found anything that it hurts honestly suprizingly.. unless therez a nick in paint etc.. but for volume price u can't beat go look at walmarts or lowe's. Some HD have there tractors indoors my local one does.

That's not fair at all when the HD get 30 of the L118s and we only get 3 for the whole year! What kind of deal is that? Well, anyway the garden tractors do get a fair amount of wind slap from the plastic wrapping and the hoods scratch as soon as you touch them. Not joking. I noticed when I set up a new L130 that from the factory the hood was wrapped in a protective cloth under the plastic so maybe the wind slap issue has been addressed. They fenders still get dull and are in need of wax before delivery and same with the rears of the Gators.
