Well......I finally made the purchase. After a long time of debating, discussing, looking, researching and also justifying why I shouldn't spend the money I came to my senses and finalized my choices Monday.
Here's what I bought:
Kubota B7800 w/ mid-pto and foldable ROPS and R4 tires w/ rear tires filled w/ Rimguard
Kubota 402 Front end loader w/ two tow hooks installed by dealer (welded to top outside edge of bucket)
60" MMM (Kubota)
72" Bush Hog rear blade
60" Bush Hog Squealer bush hog with slip clutch
Paid 19,751.34 with taxes/fees. I got a discount on my implements, free delivery to my house and the rear tires loaded at no charge. I also was able to set up a pickup of my old Farmall 560 w/ loader and backhoe when they bring the Kubota to take down to the dealer for a consignment sale at no charge. They will just off load the Kubota and take the 560 back with them. Hopefully we can get a few thousand for it. (Of course today, I was getting it ready to be picked up and blew a hydraulic line in the backhoe. It's always something.)
The dealer was very cordial and upfront. I went to him expecting that since I've done other business there as well. I think he took more than fair care of me on this purchase. Now I've had the painstaking wait of two or three days before I get to get into some projects.
This is my first post here but I can tell you that I read posts here and looked at reviews for weeks while trying to decide what to do. I was glad I found this site b/c it was certainly helpful. I know it will continue to be now that I actually own a tractor and am not just wishing I did. I'll let you know for sure how the 7800 works out. I talked to a lot of guys and got a lot of input. I think I made a solid choice. Hopefully there won't be too many times that I have the "I should've gotten the L3400......" syndrome.
I'll be back with a full report in a few days.
