Just found the forum..
I had been running a Kubota L185DT to death for the last 6 years, actually the Ole' Gal had over 25,ooo hours and still started every cold snowy morning and threw snow for our 1 mile of road..
I put a 60" Farm King blower on it, and was barely making it down the road dripping oil all the way As long as I was out there and never let the snow get deeper then 6 inches I did ok..
During the Summer I was using a SBX-60" Brush Hog Box Scraper to keep the road in shape... Along with a 60" Rear blade and the FEL I did a little work with it..
The week before Christmas we got hit with over 3 feet of snow, and I finally decided to bite the bullet and trade off the 1979 L185DT and get more power..
I found a 1997 L3600DT that had just cracked 1000 hours, we traded just the tractors and FEL's I kept all the old implements..
Searching on the net I found several L3600DT's that were quite comparable to mine that were all listed within $1000 of each other..
Just got the blower all tweaked onto the L3600 today and tried it out on some snow clean up around the pole barn and driveway.. Seems to work fantastic, as there is plenty of power now to the PTO, looking at the specs the L185 was running 11 hp back there and the L3600 is pushing 31 hp so it feels as if there is no load at all..
Deal wise the selling price of the L3600DT was $12,500 they gave me $2250 for the L185DT that the front wheel literally was falling off of going up the trailer ramp as we were trading at the front of the road..
I think it was a fair deal myself..
