Kubota L4600 vs JD 4105?

[JohnM]

the deere dealer in union is also the kubota dealer in fairfield

I was just going to mention that, SS.  May be worth checking Hammonds price on the Kub, though I doubt it's much difference. 

My Kub was bought at Union Farm (I'm the 3rd owner) and I've mostly dealt with them if I need something, even though they are 60 miles away.  I had bought the quick attach add on from them and decided I didn't need it (a mistake in hindsight :).  I asked to trade it back to them months after I had bought it, they couldn't really offer what I needed to get out of it (they can't sell it as new even though it was so that was fine).  I got a call from them about a week later and had a customer looking for the quick attach, they gave me his number and I sold it to him.  They did NOT need to do that and I thought it was a pretty standup thing to do.  That said I've heard good things about Hammond too so it's likely a wash. :D  Pick the one that feels right.   I think tractors are like sawmills, people like what they got. ;D

I have a little over 60 hours on my L4600 and for the most part love it.
Today I needed to use the brakes to steer in the snow since the front wheels were sliding on turns even in 4wd. It was frustrating having both the accelerator and brake on the same side. I had to use the hand throttle to manage that maneuver.
I have the industrial R4 tires to minimize turf damage when mowing but am beginning to regret not getting ag tires. Also due to the wide tire I am not able to set my 3 bottom plow correctly to get the first plow to cut a full width furrow and turn the sod over correctly.

I've spent plenty of time in the woods with my Kubota, in fact I'll be in the woods all afternoon. I've never once felt the need to use the steering brakes. On the two wheel drive farm tractors, you might have to use them once in a while, but with four wheel drive, I've never seen the need.

The 4wd doesn't help much when the front tars are in the air!   ;D

More bang for the buck with Kubota.   Steve
