Actually two questions, the dealer I’m working with via e-mail quoted me a price on a B3030-HSD-F, I can’t find a tractor with the F distinction anywhere on the Kubota site. Anyone seen that before, ) I would like to be informed when I get back with the guy).
Second I wanted to get the 72 ride over MMM but Kubota doesn’t make a collection system for it. I have to deal with 3 acres of leaves every fall and really want something that I can attach to the mower and alternatives or do I back down to the

That's why I took the 60" (to add a bagger later for leaves). I have a bit more than 2 acres. For now I use my 20HP White garden tractor with MMM and bagger to do that job. A Kubota bagger is a bit expensive and I heard they are supposed to be designing a new model easier and faster to dis/mount. I'm waiting... it's been two years now and no new model so far...

As for "F"... I really don't know what's the meaning of it.:confused: Are you looking for a B3030 with a front end loader?... you know B3030HSD-F (F for FEL).

B3030HSD-F = foldable ROPS B3030HSD-R + rigid ROPS

Thanks for clearing that up, it makes sense.

You are welcome...... I just saw that myself the other day on a spec sheet.

Indeed, that makes sense. I didn't think about the ROPS since it was clear, from the beginning, that I wanted my B3030 with a backhoe, so my dealer never mentionned the option (ROPS: foldable or not). Thanks ChuckinNH :)

With the backhoe you want the foldable rops, helps to keep your head away!

I know in our area that often they just use the gator blades to make the leaves smaller.

Is the Kubota bagger for the 60" a real pain? I lived that with the JD 2305 and was hoping for something a little easier to install and remove.

I don't have one yet, but other TBNers said that to me and it's been confirmed by my dealer.
