I have a 1995 B20 and am looking to trade in for something new. My B20 is strictly a 'hobby' tractor and it has done wonders for me including help build two homes, two driveways, trail making, snowblowing, tons of firewood retrieval, fencing...you name it, it has done an awesome job. There have been times when I would have liked more power as 20 horses only gets you so far. It's currently at 2030hrs (I bought it used at 900+) and I think that perhaps I should take advantage of Kubota's 0% financing. So I looked at the B26, very nice machine and then looked at an L48 which is the machine I would love to have. Price between the two is not that much, approx. $8000 so I am seriously thinking of going for the L48. When I discussed pricing with my local dealer, he offered 10% off of retail which isn't that much on a $49,900 CAD listed machine. Just curious at what other people are seeing/hearing/getting in relation to discounts. Also the dealer mentioned perhaps another model with a backhoe such as a B3300 would be a possibility (approx. $28k with backhoe). I like the setup and it's a very nice machine and a much lower price point however I am concerned over 'toughness'. I like the TLB's because they are commercial and can really handle things well such as rocks which we have a ton of here.
Future work with the machine will be the same as past however I am considering starting to grow some crops on a small parcel of land, 2-3 acres. Also if I went with the L48, I would consider doing odd jobs locally to help 'finance' the machine.
Any advice/input would be appreciated.
