I am Reggie Payne from Morehead City, NC. I have been reading this forum for a couple of months and would like to thank everyone for all the good info posted. This is an extremely beneficial site thanks to you all!

I recently sold my first tractor which I had had for a couple of years. It was a Kubota L3400 which I bought with 1.1 hours in 2007. I bought it for my daughter and her husband to use at our other property (6 acres) where they lived. He got out of the Marine Corps after his last trip to Iraq and they moved to St. Louis where his family is and he grew up. Didn't think I needed the tractor anymore. Was I wrong. We have decided to move to that house. Now I have 6 acreas to take care of so I am going to buy another tractor and necessary implements in January.

I have reviewed this site a lot for info on new tractors. I believe I am going to go with a Kioti DK40 HST or DK 45 HST. I realize I don't need near that much tractor for the property but I am semi retired and am hoping to pick up some extra cash doing bush hogging, box blading, land clearing etc.

The Kubota L3940 is also a good possibility but after the cost of implements, it is streatching my budget a little too far. There was only $2200 dollars difference in the prices quoted over the phone from the Kioti dealer and the Kubota dealer. It seems the price gap between Kioti and the big 3 has narrowed considerably from what I expected based upon comments here. $22,200 for the Kioti DK40 HST with the 401 loaderand $24,400 for the Kubota L3940 with the LA724 loader. These are cash prices.

Anyway, once again I thank you all for the information you have been kind enough to share. I hope to be a contrinutor in the near future once I get a little experience.

Good morning to you and a hearty welcome.:D

Have you considered add a backhoe to the list if you intend to do odd jobs?:D
