Hey Gus,
I will also be in the market in the not to distant future for a new Kubota tractor. I'm a ways down the road but something this expensive denotes that I do plenty or research before my signature is laid on any documents.
I was wondering.... if you wouldn't mind disclosing your final purchase price of the particular model you've mentioned? I am waffling back and forth between the B2650, B3350, or the L3560. I know and understand each model is very different with pro's and con's for each. When I use the "Build your own" on Kubota's website, I can't get an accurate gauge because it only lists the MSRP and no one pays MSRP. All of the ones that dealers have listed through various sites all say to "call for price".
With my tractor purchase so far down the road, I have not wasted the dealers time in putting together an actual price quote. I plan on only getting the FEL and not the backhoe. IMHO, Kubota wants too much $$ for there's when I can purchase an after market, stand alone Woodmax or Liberty backhoe that only uses the PTO of the tractor to pump the backhoe's separate hydraulic system. Much cheaper! I get that a 3 point hitch mount backhoe is not as strong vs the tractor mounted version however I really have any tree stumps to remove. It'll only be used for gutter drain ditches, irrigation install, and misc. minor dirt digging.
I might even sell it after the above mentioned projects are completed unless I get pimped out by friends and family to use it on their property.
Budget is the ultimate deciding factor. If it wasn't I would just get the L3560 with all the bells and whistles.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jake
