Ok, I had started a thread in the main area, but decided to move this discussion here in the Kubota area. I has been looking for a step up on a new tractor from my BX1500. I was not really considering Kubota as the only way to go, but was thinking B7800 low end and L3400HST on the high end for comparision. Mahindra had been a consideration, but due to a lack of local dealership interest, I have decided to keep looking at Kubota.
Someone on the other thread also mentioned that I should not rule out an L2800HST.
So, what do I get in an L2800HST over the similar HP B7800?
I think the L series is a bit heaver and may have a few more standard features, but will I see the beneifit for the extrat cost?
Position Control vs. Quarter Inching Valve? I have read that position control is superior and I will be doing mostly dirt work with an FEL and box blade.
What about FEL difference? Is there a an advantage with the L2800?
Any other things to consider? They seem like they are very close on power, so what do I gain for the extra $$$.
Appreciate any input!
Thanks,
Carl
