<font color="blue"> Some interesting pictures.
Will have to ask Henro to interrupt them. </font>

Well Ron, I think you got that right...interruption is something I am capable of, at least on occasion... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif The wife doesn't call me "no manner man" for nothin' /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

But I am sure you meant interpret... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif ... more a job for the wife, who in on her way back from Japan as I type this /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm attaching a photo of a 27 HP Kubota cab tractor, which I took in Japan last fall...shades of the new B series I wonder?

Kubota does not seem to going the sloped hood way.

Yes, There is a B7510 turf special. I did not pay too much attention to it, as this is not an area where we have much interest here in WYoming. It is a suspended deck, can be ordered with turf or R-4 tires, cutting height adj. says lever and pin, I did not look at it close enough to know haw it works. MSRP $12,620.
Henro, the cab on that tractor looks pretty close to the new 3030, but the hood styling is not the same.

I'm sure I could not make that kind of mistake. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Cnoel,
I always appreciate your seek previews of the Kubota line. Thanks for posting the info for us Kubota junkies. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

You mentioned the L 39 TLB. Would you know if that is replacing the L35 with a hydrostatic version in that size range? There has been a lot of interest in a hydro unit between the B21 and L48.

Thanks,
MarkV

I wish. We were excited about a hydro also, but it is not to be. It is the new L-30 GST 12F8R. 10 ft digging depth, sloped hood, curverd loader arms, skid steer QA,self leveling on loader that can be turned on or off, all guages on side panel, quick attach on backhoe bucket that is compatable with th L48, and about 4 diff. KX models. Overall, it is a very nice machine. They went with the Glide for price, reliability, and takes les HP to run. Apparently it was about 50-50 with whoever they talked to as to which tranny they wanted, so they kept the gst. The GST is still a very nice, efficient trans once you run it a bit. Won't be as good as a rental tractor for sure. I think they had a proto with a hydro, maybe you can get that one on the grey market! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks Christa,

I am disappointed that there is not an HST version coming out. I would have thought for sure that would be the major up grade to the L35 when it went through a redesign. Your right that there is nothing wrong with the GST tranny, I am just so comfortable with an HST that would have been my choice. Guess I will not have to cash in all those bars of gold in the basement after all. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
