I am going to look at what is being called a 1985 kubota 285DT, 2 wd with loader. I am going out on a limb here and guessing it is an L2850 by the current owners description.
I would like it to replace a Ford NAA and or a Farmall H that I use for small haying with sickle bar and ground drive rake, mowing, and other light farm chores. It is diesel and I assume much more fuel efficient than the old tractors, and has a loader, which I do not need but would be nice when loading my manure spreader in the fields. I am a small Farmer and this tractor would be used as such, not a toy for me. I also am very familiar with the size and 2 wd limitations, no worries there.
Anyone have old Kubotas, are the parts readily available. Looks like a nice tractor for the money, but I am just going by pictures at the moment.
Any input would help, Thanks
