I've pulled the trigger on a brand new Kubota L3200 HST with the FEL and a Landpride RFC2060 brush cutter with the flat top and optional chains for guarding against kickouts. I wanted to get one while I could still find one. They've stopped manufacturing them as they switch to tier 4 emissions. I didn't want to be part of that switchover and price increase. I had all 3 rear remotes added and the 3pt stabilizer. I had the rear tires filled with Rim Guard so I'll have another 1,200 lbs of weight. I bought an 18' trailer to haul it with double axle (3,500lbs each). I need to take the old F-150 up to get the electric brake controller added since my current boat trailer has surge brakes. I'm so happy to be saying farewell to my current Ford 2N and brush cutter. I never knew if I'd get to spend time using it or trying to get it to run.
I still need to decide on a tiller. It's down to the Landpride reverse tiller RTR1550 or RTR1558. The 3200's manual lists tiller width at 54" max but the dealer said he puts 66" tillers on these Ls to cover both tires. Since I only need to maintain a small horse arena and a 25'x25' garden I think the 50" would be sufficient if I offset it to cover 1 tire. I don't really see the advantage of the 66" except in time - which would be minimal in my application to begin with.
