billyo my advice is to stay away from JD period. My neighbors are green fans or should I say WERE green fans until they brought their junk to me for repair because they couldn't afford Dealer labor rates and parts. I hear alot of gumbling with members over Kubota parts pricing but wait until you get into a Deere. Enough said. I own an L2600DT forerunner of the new 2800. It's a rich man's poor man's tractor. My neighbors said no more green after they have seen my annual cost with my Kubotas.
Kubota help please!!!

Hi billyo and welcome to the forum. I had a L3010GSt and it was a great tractor. I reluctantly parted with it and later acquired a Kioti LK3054. I have been extremely pleased with its performance in comparison the larger L series Kubota. It was an older unit and had been badly abused. I got into the engine over the winter and found that it could stand a rebuild. I thought $$$ bit not so /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif. Parts were so reasonable I totally rebuilt engine, bought manuals, replaced many other parts on the tractor and (in parts alone) spent about $950.00. Try that with a JD or a Kubota. My point is if there is a Kioti dealer in your area they are work checking out. Ask some of the guys in the Kioti forum about there CK30HST TLB. Might just save a buck too.
