Skeets, I am in south georgia and my soil is actually not red clay. Its more a sandy/black soil with a white clay mixture. Its pretty hard when its dry but a couple of inches of rain softens it up quite a bit. The red clay soil is more middle to north georgia. The big farmers in my area...

How long do you think they will keep the 0% financing offer available. I know the website says May 31 but its been going on for a while now hasn't it. I am going to get a new orange tractor but I am not quite ready to bite the bullet. I could really use a few more weeks.

The garden is around 1/2 acre. I am actually looking into maybe doing a little produce farming. I have 17 acres that my primary business sits on. Its a custom cabinet shop, so I am not looking to make a living at the farming but maybe a little extra side money and some good eating. I have...

I was planning on using a rotary tiller after the bottom plow and then using the plastic mulch attachment. I realize that soil conditions will make a difference. I won't be plowing when the ground is hard and dry. What is the lifting power on the L3800? I have been leaning towards the Ag...

I am leaning towards an L3800 FEL, HST. Is the hp enough to pull say a two blade bottom plow? If so, will it pull it with the R4 tires or should I get Ag tires? Will it pull a plastic mulch layer like the one in the link below...

Thanks for the interesting read everyone. I am sorry my post got a few feathers ruffled but its interesting to hear the different arguments. I drove a friends HST this morning and I still can't decide which way to go. Not saying that I don't like the HST but it is not what I am use to when...

Is an HST just as durable? I am not an expert but have driven a few tractors over the years and they all had gears. All my vehicles have automatic transmissions nowadays also but I grew up on a manual transmission so I can use a clutch no problem.

It was around $1.5 k difference. I was just wondering if the 6 hp would make that much of a difference in the power. Doesn't seem like it. I am in south Georgia so its all flat land. Will probably use the FEL and Box blade more than anything. I will be using a rotary mower from time to...

Excuse my ignorance but what does a two stage clutch do? Also what is the advantage of a live continuous PTO?

What would be some advantages/disadvantages of these two transmissions? Are there any pulling differences? Seems to me that the gear drive would give a more steady pull vs trying to maintain a steady throttle with your foot on the HST.

What would be the advantage of 6 hp? Why would Kubota make such little difference in these two models? I noticed that the pto on the L3800 is live continuous vs transmission driven. What is the advantage here? Other than the 6hp and the pto, they are pretty much the same tractor as far as I...

I have a L3000F that belonged to my father. He passed away a couple of years ago. I use the tractor occasionally but would like one with an FEL so I am considering selling his and buying a new one. How do I find out what it might be worth or what to ask for it? I considered trading it in but...
