Buying Advice Leaning towards LS, feedback appreciated.

This just in! Called a Kubota dealer about 20 miles away to inquire on their machines, for my budget I'd be in the BX series. HOWEVER, they just took a trade and have a B2920, 67 hours on it, HST, FEL, 51" snow blower, hydraulic chute, 1 yr warranty still on it, immaculate..........$15,500!!

I'm out the door now to look at it!!

That's a nice tractor! Only negative I could think of it the 1/4" valving instead of position control for the 3pt.

Well...it looks like you might have a similar experience to mine. I was looking hard at the LS J2023/XJ2025 when I came across a good deal on a Kubota B2920 with 112hrs about 5 months ago. I have been very pleased with the B2920 so far.

I'm the happy owner of an LS J2023 that I bought new last year. I paid $12,200 for the tractor and loader. I know the 2025 are Tier 4, but the exact same machine as my 2023. If you can find a dealer with a 2023 still in stock, I would HIGHLY recommend going that route.

Just got back, talk about timing! no brainer, deposit made! 2013 Kubota 2920, 67 hours, all in the winter months, almost a year and a half left on warranty. FEL like new, owner just had it in for its 250 hour servicing even though it wasn't needed or obviously due. Snowblower is a beast, hydraulic chute & rotation control. Canopy wired with up front headlights, problem is, with canopy may not fit in my garage. I can lower it about 2" but it will be close, only negative though!

Congrats on the purchase. Did you consider the turf tires? My LS has R4 tires and I couldn't imagine going with anything slicker.

Previous owner had turf tires so that's what I'm buying, Rim-Guard filled too. level property, will add chains if needed.

Turf tires are necessarily slicker. In some cases they provide more traction due to having more biting edges.
