Hi thanks for your imput. Just in the pictures I like the ls xj2025h a lot! It looks just about right size and power for me. I would love to hear your comparison to the Kubota. I assume the price difference is apples and oranges because the Kubota has the Backhoe? Also on some of the threads here some mentioned there could be some advantage to the kubota bx line over the B line because BX may have a lower center of gravity and the ability to put wheel spacers on so it would push the wheels out farther and make it more stable on the slope. Others thought that the B series was just as good on a slope as the BX line if you filed the wheels with oil or beet juice of all things. That may be something to ask about while you are out today.
After driving the XJ 2025H, I went ahead put a down payment on one with FEL, Backhoe and 3rd function remote for grapple . The total price for the unit was $20,330.00. The dealer is going to fill the rear tires with antifreeze& water. I plan on checking on the spacers and warranty question with the dealer as I would like to add them to the tractor. They are going to order one with the backhoe installed from the factory, so it will be about 2 weeks before they can deliver. I was able to test the backhoe on a GX3025 as they did not have one installed on a XJ2025H.
The best price I had gotten on the Kubota 2301 with the same options was $23,975.00.
I am pretty stoke with getting the new tractor. I tried to upload the excel file with the comparisons between the various tractors I was considering, but the forum does not allow uploading of excel file format. If you Pm me your email address I will send it to you.
Also I see your in your Eureka, MO. I'm orginally from the STL & St. Peters area. Go Cards!!
