What can yall tell me about a L285

[RobJ]

I've read a few of the back posts, have a line on one that looks and runs great. Comes with a 5' bush hog and 4' box blade. Just looking for anything else to make me feel good about it. Since it's a Kubota I'm sure parts and such are still very available. It'll get light use from me.

Would you prefer this over say a L175 or L185? I like the smaller size but the 4cyl engine is a lot smoother.

Any owners out there?

Thanks,
Rob

I had the very similar L345 for several years. (take a look at Reviews for details. You are right the 4-cylinder engine is very smooth. The L285 will work hard all day on 6-7 gallons of fuel. If it's 4wd the price sounds good.
