JD3039r vs Kubota L3560

[jeff9366]

Use Kubota's 0% financing for six years.

Not very smart to pay $1,700 interest for the ONE additional year. $1,700 is three monthly payments.

I am also looking at the 3rd function valve and grapple to help me with clearing the property that I have. I am hoping that the grapple and either the L3560 (i may bit the bullet and go L4060) or the 3039r will move 8 ft sections of trees after I drop them. The majority of the trees are pine and no more than 12 inches in diameter. If I go with Kubota, the prices quoted include the LA805 Loader, i misread the original quote last night when i posted.

Money is a concern, skip the grapple and tow the tree trunks out with chains and a cross-drawbar. $200 instead of $3500.

The bare tractor weight of the L3560 and L4060 is functionally identical. L4060 will be slightly more stable because of 6" additonal width if you must work on slopes but also slightly less maneuverable between trees, through gates and doors.

None of the the current model Grand L tractors will fit into a garage with an 84" header, even with ROPS folded.
Same weight Kubota MX series will enter garage with ROPS folded.

Jeff,
I cant find the promotion from Kubota for 72mo @ 0%. All I see is the 60/mo @0%, 72/mo @.99% and the 84/mo @ 1.99% . Did you see this on a Kubota site? Thanks for all of your input thus far, great info to consider.

Check with your Kubota dealer on "0%" financing. Current financing options are something dealers explain every day.
The web site is not infallible on Kubota incentives.

I visited my Kubota dealer today. There is "0%" seven year financing available but it requires 20% cash down at purchase.

Finance incentives change quarterly, so confirm during December.

Thanks Jeff, I will look into that.

Well I have an update... I went ahead and pulled the trigger and got the L3560... The financing is 1.99% x 84 months... I contacted my insurance agent for a better deal on the insurance... now that I have made the decision I am anxious to see my new machine. Thank you all for all of the input; it was greatly appreciated... I will post pics when I actually get hold of the L3560...
