Aardvark, I have a Kubota 7610 TLB just like you are considering. For a JD I couldn't get anywhere near the price you were quoted or I would have had the same dilema you have. I do wish I had the larger backhoe that is available on the B7800 though. The greater reach would be of great utility. However, I am size limited (narrow passway alongside shop rules out larger tractors).
Private mail me if you have any specific questions on the package and I'll reply. I'll reply direct if you pass on your e-mail address.

Well, I qualified for Kubota's 0% for 36 months on the full $19.2k for the 7610. Don't plan on financing all of it maybe only half. Am sending in the credit app tomorrow for the 4110 tractor. The 4110 has turfs though and I wanted the ag tires. Not a big deal I guess. None of the local dealers will even consider matching prices for the 4110 at $18.8k, so I'll have to drive a couple hours to pick it up, if I do go with the 4110. I told the Kubota dealer I'd make a decision on Wed, so I guess I've got about a day and a half to overthink and scrutinize everything.
Thanks for all the help so far.

I think that the "quick attach" bucket system that JD has is certainly a point in the *Green* column - I don't think it's available (I've been lookin'!) on Kubota until you get up to a LA402 FEL - which is on the B7800 / B2910 (maybe B2710 too?)
SO - while the bucket on my B7610 certainly CAN be removed - it isn't a *quick* procedure. Removing the entire FEL (ex. for mowing) is VERY easy, though: 3 mins to take off - maybe 5 min to put back on.
Cheers,
Dan

I'm going to say something that you already know. It IS a big deal when you don't get what you want, and you're paying big bucks for it. If you want AG tires, tell the dealer you WANT AG tires. There should be no price difference to you on the initial purchase either. If I'm not mistaken, turf tires cost a little more. I may be wrong, but they are much wider tires, and often a little larger as well.
Don't let the dealer sell you something you don't want, you'll never be happy that you didn't go with your gut feeling. John

I drove the Kubota B7610 and then the JD 4110 on the same day and I really liked the Deere much better (that's why I own one now). The keys to my decision...
1. JD was a much smoother ride
2. Liked positional control on the 3PH much more than the quarter inching valve.
3. The brake/accelorator pedal configuration gave me great pause about the engineering of the Kubota. How can you give someone independant brakes but put them right next to the accelorator pedal? There is ABSOLUTELY no way to brake the left tire only while trying to go anywhere - what were they thinking? Gave me pause about other engineering issues that I hadn't considered...
The 4115 gives you 3 or 4 more HP than the 4110 and will probably run you about the same as your current Kubota quote. The 4110 is a great machine - you'll love it.
BTW - top speed is listed at 12mph FWIW. Also, make sure to pay close attention to the hydraulic flow on the machines you are comparing since you be using a BH.

I'll also chime in on the tire issue. The dealer had ordered the tractor I bought with turfs. I wanted the bar tires, but since my machine was such a new model, Case only had enough tires and wheels to go on the machines that were going out the door, so they weren't sending out spare sets for a few months.
I knew the turfs would be a bit of an issue when doing dirt work, and although I love them on the lawn, I have a lot of dirt work to do, and they just don't cut it, so I decided to order a set of bar tires. So, as of yesterday, I have a new set of bar tires that need to be swapped out with the turfs at a local tire shop.
So, if you want the bar or Ag tires, get them now if you can, or you'll probably end up ordering a set and visiting a tire dealer to make the swap later.
