we haven't finalized the deal yet. he is doing non-hydraulic scarifiers on the box blade. which I think is fine. no need for it right now I don't think.
I can't believe Kubota doesn't offer some kind of 3rd function kit for these tractors? wth over.
currently debating over the light material bucket at 600, the square back for 650, and the heavy duty round back for 995. he said the light material was fine for most people and seems pretty strong. opinions? I was going to get the front and rear work light kit....but apparently they are still ancient and halogen. so I will be spending that money on some nice LED fixtures for front and back. the 4700 I went there to drive was right next to the 5800....what a difference. nice seat, better laid out controls, no clutch (never made sense in my mind why an HST tractor had a damn clutch...)
wish I had the cash to just walk in and buy like I watched a guy do while I was there. he came in and bought an X line something or other. the guy said it was a 135 hp tractor. the saleman said he does business with them all the time and just bought 3 of the new Kubota balers a month ago.
anyway. he is working on the numbers and on some final options. they charge 150$ for delivery, which I really figured they would eat....but I guess not. looking at one next to a standard L really made the decision to go MX easy. wish the MX had a tilt wheel like the grand L, that's a really nice feature. I couldn't get over how quiet and docile it was though. but the power was exceptional and a nice little turbo whine. the 4700 was a little rougher running, but was okay. I'm getting the first 50 hour service fluids and filters delivered at the same time as I'll probably hit 50 hours in 2-3 weeks easy. he said for them to do the service was 560$ pfffft. I got it. no idea how much the fluids and filters cost, but I would imagine they are not half that.
