I do not have a .pdf of the manual but I can answer any questions you may have. The Montana is awsome and I know you will be satisfied with it should you make the purchase.
As one person said go with the tried and true. I am sure Kubota, when they were getting their foothold in the market contended with the same thing. They were a great value and still are a good machine but orange paint is pretty expensive.
I would suggest you drive the Montana and the Kubota and then decide. I am confident that you will like the feel, function and price of the Montana.
The Mitsubishi engine delivers smooth, quiet and constant reliable power, the tractor will go and go. I will say the quality of the LG5740 is second to no one.
Quality, value, feel, use, warranty, financing are all considerations and with the LG Montana you have it all plus will keep some money in your pocket.
I would really say try both and buy what is best for you. I tell all of my customers this and have had many try the Kubota and come buy the LG Montana.
Good luck in your purchase and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Before I get really negative comments from all the Kubota fans I feel they are good tractors and am not knocking them. I personally feel they tend to be over priced at least in our region.
Good Luck,
Maka

It is not skimping out by buying a LG Montana. Lets look at it this way. Back, not to long ago there was a compact tractor that came to the U.S. with a funny name that no one knew. Kubota? Don't buy one of those untested, made in Asia tractors. Well, Kubota perservered and built their rep in spite of zero name recognition at the time.
Fast forward to now. The LG Montana is manufactured by a company called LG, use Mitsubishi engines, Eaton Hydro pumps, Delphi, etc.
They already have name recognition as a high quality producer of name brand products, LG cell phones, Havoline motor oil, Delo, LGphilips (plasma and HDTVs), Tropicana soap, own 47% of the U.S. home air con market for window units, LG appliances avail. at Best Buy and other big retailers and I could go on. The great thing is when my customers come in and my LG Montana is made buy the company that makes their cell phone they love, makes the washer/dryer they love, makes the refridgerator they love and if they don't have those things I educate them quickly as to who they are then they have no question as to what company this is that manufactures these tractors.
Couple the already recognized name, with the high quality and the relatively low price and the Kubota dealer down the street is not happy. In fact, a customer who bought an LG from me was told by the Kubota dealer down the road he would not rent him any implements. He is big into rental and makes a good business on that.
Guess what business I will be adding to my tractor sales? Yip, you got it, rentals. The Kubota dealer here has competition and does not like it and is a very poor sport about it. Now, before you get in a tizzy I am talking about the local Kubota dealer here not all of them but now I am out selling him in tractors and I can't wait to start renting equipment out as well.
LG is a 100 billion dollar company with tremendous brand recognition, awsome tractors that is far more recognizable than Kubota was when they started.
A little research will render lots of info on this. Anyone who wants a Montana just needs to look at the company backing this product and know that you will be getting a fine machine that is backed by a hugh company with a world wide presence and recognition.

I hope their tractors are better than their cell phones! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I don't have anything good to say about their cell phones! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I use about 5000 minutes per month and not on an LG phone! Obviously completely different from tractors.
On Kubota, even when they came to the U.S., it was easy to research and find that they had made their own tractors since 1890. I understand your analogy, but it doesn't quite work with Kubota. Kubota had been building tractors for nearly 100 years, and they make their own engines, transmissions etc. Maybe Montana is where Kioti was a few years ago.

Tell me what the problem is with their phones and I will be happy to tell you if it is engineering or some inept sales person or rep who set it up wrong.
Have you had an LG?
I was on the design team that built the CDMA chips in the LG phones, Samsung phones, Kyocera phones, Audiovox phones and several others. The LG engineers are some of the best in the world and that is evidenced by the fact that their phones sales are going through the roof. It is easy to get a bad one out of the millions but what exactly is the problem with the phone?
I designed the RAMS, ROMS, TXDACS on most of their CDMA phones and would be happy to try and diagnose your problem.
By the way they are doing great in handset sales and here are some links
Raising profits
LG projects 70 Million units in 2005
Not the biggest in the world yet but on the way.
Now I am sure we can find a few people to say good and bad about any company.
Here is one on Kubota
Kubota Recall
/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Of course, these are their RTV and not their tractors but.......
This can be done of any product and Kubota as shown here sure has some things to deal with. OUCH!
By the way, 5000 minutes a month could be dangerous to your health. Many debates on the health risk of useage but that is another discussion.

Cool! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I don't know squat about cell phones, and don't really care. I just want them to work; always. Maybe you can tell me why I'm forced to go to this crappy GSM type of service? Nobody is going to convince me it is better than the CDMA or TDMA! Believe me, I get enough experience with it! Well, sort of off of tractors, but I am obviously a heavy cell phone user. (keeps me out of the office /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Brent,
1890???---I thought the only horse-power available on farms back then was from the ones you put fodder in one end and got manure out the other. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
If you are ever over in eastern Ohio on I-70 (just west of Cambridge)--you might want to visit the museum, (I think it is the Zane Trace Museum), that has some history of road building in the US. Out front you will see an old horse drawn asphalt roller donated by the family of T.C. Norman & Son Contractors---this equipment is from that era--and was pretty much state-of-the-art at that time.
(T.C. was my great grandfather---and after looking at your profile---could be a distant relative of yours)
Sorry that this may be a little of-topic--but hey,gotta have a little fun,right??

jhbusa,
Getting back to answering your questions,I think Maka answered them quite well, (and beat me to the punch).
The only thing that I can add, is that, after you compare tractors---in person,up close, and from a spec standpoint---I think that you will find that the Montana 4940 will compare more closely with the Kubota L5030, than the 5740.
The Montana 5740 is a lot more tractor, in most respects ,than the L5030,and still costs less.
Kubota does offer some options (at extra cost) like hydro trannys ,etc.----but the bottom line is --you can buy a top quality tractor from a reputable manufacturer, for a lot less money with the Montana.

My wife has an LG flip phone on the Verison network. The phone is junk and I don't like the network either. I'm sure they make a lot of the phones, we got hers for free. I guess we got what we paid for!
