Kubota L5240: Craftsman GT6500
I have been looking for tractors for about three years. I live within 50 miles of three Kubota dealers. My experience was not horrible, but I was intrigued by the great website that Carver Kubota has on TBN......................So I decided to drive up there and see what the place was all about. It turns out it was better than the website. I had forgotten that they also sell Kioti which turned out to be a really nice tractor. They have really done their homework!

When I called for final directions, I wound up talking to the owner, Mr Steve Carver. What a genuine, decent gentleman! He met me at the door and spent a great deal of his day answering my dumb questions.

His prices were lower than in my town, but more importantly he was informative about all types of details that no one else answered like the advantages of staying with a standard bucket, pro's and con's of rotary cutters and their various gear boxes etc, etc, etc.

He took an amazing amount of time asking me about what I planned to do with a tractor, the type of terrain I would be working on and how many acres, etc. No one else ask me those questions.

When I arrived it was around lunch time so he invited me the local country eatery. He was obviously well know to the locals who all greeted him with warm smiles. When we got back, he turned out to be a really patient person, letting me crawl all over and drive all of his toys. I even drove a Kioti!

The only problem is I thought I had done all of my homework. I knew I only wanted HST but now after working the GST.........not so sure now. I may have to post some questions to you GST owners.

Anyway Steve Carver, Carver Kubota ROCKS!

I was confused and dizzy after looking for only 6 months and reading just about everything I could find on the tractor boards. This site is a real GEM - learned much from the sage advice. Settled on a Kubota L3130 HST - nice machine.

Was having a few doubts about the Dealership (Did I pick the right one?), but after meeting and working with the Dealers son today, feel much like what you describe about Carver. I had questions on the Rear Remote hydraulics and he took me into the shop plus the yard and demonstrated exactly what had to be done. He threw in a couple of hydraulic hose plugs/covers and left me with the feeling that I went to the right place originally.

Recall reading on this board that feeling comfortable with and having confidence in the Dealer is important. I can sure attest to that.

Have fun and enjoy your continuing tractor search. Now that I have mine I have to go to work before the snow flies.
