Possibly Going From Green to Orange

One thing that sold me.

The JD I was looking at was made in CHINA AND MEXICO only assembled in the USA.

The Kubota was MADE in Japan AND Georgia...USA :D

Fug...I did not know that about Kubota in Georgia. What city, do you know? Interesting.

i wanted to give Kubota a good hard look, but they can't seem to keep a dealer in my area. we've had 2 in the past 10 years and neither offered good service. closest dealer to me now is about 45 min away:( i was very interested in giving the M5040 test drive and look over. oh well, maybe someday they'll be able to open a dealership in my area and compete with the Deere dealerships.

I recently sold my Kubota and really considered moving to a John Deere. While the Deere did have a few very nice features, it was simply less tractor for more money. The HST Plus transmission in the Kubota is impossible to beat right now.

I wound up with a 5740 cab and couldn't be happier, although I wish I had that John Deere air ride seat!

They build the BXs, the ZTRs and the CUVs.

In 2004 I purchased a new BX23.
It now has just a tad over 1100 hours on it an it hain't brook in yet.
*************************
Since you are making the switch I'd go with the BX24 and get the Back hoe.

The only thing I don't like about the 2350 is the neck snapping when you let off the reverse .[/QUOTE]

I have 3 BX Kubotas and haven't ran into this problem.

What model where you looking at? Most of the CUT's are made by Yanmar in Japan.

You hit it right on. The 2305 parts are pretty much all Chinese (especially the cast gears used for the PTO that got destroyed on my machine).
