looking at Cub7532 and Kubota L3400HST

[sltretired]

I'm looking forward to driving both tractors in a few weeks. I'm hoping that I like the '06 Cub as it's 5-6K less expensive than the '09 Kubota.

Thanks for sharing your experience with your 7532. It helps a lot.

Now to shop for implements. hmmmm.....

Just curious - does that price include a loader? I'm assuming not, that sounds like just a tractor price. (for the 7532)
If it doesn't, I know a few places that have new leftover loaders for the 7532. Just let me know, or any other Cub questions I'd be happy to help.

The price DOES include a loader. I'm shopping now when things are slow so hope to get the best deal now. I'm happy that you think that this price is fair with the loader. I think that he wants to move the Cub thinking that the Kubota will be less work to sell.

I spent some time looking at your garage project, as well as some of the other jobs your 7532 had a "hand" in. I was impressed to see the loader full of a pallet of what look like pavers. With your experience with so much heavy machinery it gives credence to your experience with the 7532.

Wow, an excavator, a dozer, skid steer! What does an excavator go for?

We bought a nice '98 Chevy K1500 Z71 three door to be our first working truck ever for my wife and I. It's completely clean with 133k. I'm dreaming about it hauling the 7532 home on a nice utility trailer and putting it immediately to work!

8K (or less) for that tractor w/loader in good shape is a steal! If you don't get it let me know....
The skid steer isn't mine, it's my concrete sub's. Excavator's like the 312 are around 30K....I'll use mine for a few years and re-sell. Got several projects to complete first.
Let us know what happens!

It's been SO cold here (and snowy, W. NYS) that I decided to wait for the weather to at least climb into the 30's and then go try out the Cub 7532. This week it's supposed to get well into the 40's for several days so will revisit the tractor dealer and report my experience.

Again, thanks to the experienced folks on this site for helping to steer me straight as we build our equipment inventory and our house.

OK, off to talk to my well driller, carpenter, framer, basement sub (Superior Walls) and the BANK!!!
