I have a B7610 Kubota, 3 cyl. diesel 24 hp 4wd hst transmission and I really like it. I mow 4 acres with it plus other things and in the three years I've had it it's never let me down. Also have a tiller with it for the garden and I've built several other attachments for it. Box blade, breaking plow, lift pole and a rake for pine straw. Forgot to mention the finish mower and a bush hog (rotary cutter). I would recommend a kubota to anyone. Be aware there's lots of sizes and styles so it can get a little confusing. George
Kubotas are great. I have a 5040 with loader and love it.

I'll second what Muhammad said, TractorByNet is the best site for tractor info.
I have a '98 L2900GST (32hp) and use it grade my road, brush cut and about a thousand other uses. When you buy be sure to get a front end loader (FEL), it is the single most versatile attachment you can own.
I've got a ZD-28 zero turn mower, 28 hp diesel, and it will cut about anything. Great mower, but a mower only. Had it for 6 years now and it's posed no problems. Very reliable and fun to mow.
Hmm, looks like most of these guys have the larger models. I have a little Bx23, and it has been a work horse. Had it for about 6 years now and I use it for just about everything. Have had 0 problems with it in all that time. Definitely a solid brand if you are looking into it.
Wow how could I have missed a thread on Kubota tractors...?
Absolutely the greatest under 100 HP tractor in the USA... actually now into over 100 HP.
I have a grand L4200 that is spectacular. Big enough to do about anything I need done, yet small enough to be very handy.
Kubota power is very dependable, I also have a cabbed ZTR powered by Kubota 4 cylinder diesel, it runs a large finish deck or a huge flail mower, PLUS a big snow blower...
As mentioned by the others do look at tractorbynet.com great information there along with another group of good folks. The Kubota forums there are always going strong, with people from all around the world using Kubotas .:thumbsup:. KennyV
I have a BX2230. It took a long time to convince myself it was worth the purchase price. Once I actually had the tractor and started using it, I never regretted making the move.
There may be an easier system for changing attachments, but I haven't used it. I drop the mower deck, switch to the front end plow, then change to the front end loader in the time it used to take to attach the front end plow on the BOLENS I had.:thumbdown: It has even improved my Christian tongue. (I am sure one or two of you know what I mean.):laughing:
Three years, 320 hours, no problems. So far, with the Kubota, I moved "out front" out back, installed a coal stove in the basement, moved the lathe to make room for the stove, leveled 20 ton of gravel in 2 1/2 hours, mowed a ton of grass, and plowed many tons of snow.
Like that pink rabbit, it just goes.
