Strengths Front end loader is very strong when digging and reaches as high as my Grandpas big John Deere Loader. Easy to service. Controls and instruments are user friendly. I do more with this tractor than recommended. Frt loader is easy to detach. A lot quieter than my uncle's John Deere.

Weaknesses I should have got a 4wd as this would help with traction using loader. I have water in tires and 720lbs of concrete on back to help.

Overall Overall a good purchase. I was born and raised on John Deere but now I am 100% Kubota.

Strengths Have used it 500 hours and no problems. Usually use it in 2nd gear, HST is absolutely wonderful. Cleaned out 3 feet of mud from 4 ponds, it is a super mudder. ( I use weighted industrial tires, liquid, and wheel weights). Pulls large blck jack oaks right out of the ground. Put fork lifts on the bucked with a grabber and can carry brush piles or good sized trees and stack them.

Weaknesses HST in second whined going up hills while carrying a heaping load of dirt up a 100 yard hill for about the first 70 hours of use. Dealer told me it was normal, and it quieted by 75 hours.

Overall It is an absolute work horse. It took me a while to notice there was an adjustment on the seat so that I could adjust it to my weight for comfort. Very comfortable and much easier to use than any John Deer, or others I have used. I am 68 years old, 225 lbs. and work by myself most times. I don't know how you could find a more reliable and hardworking compact tractor. A larger tractor will do more big jobs, but they get harder to load and move from job to job. I have aux hydraulics front and rear for all the extra implements I use.

Strengths Always starts. Very easy to operate controls. One of the simplest machines to change fluids and filters on that I have ever owned. The HST transmission whines but is wonderful to use. Great power and the 4WD pulls almost anything I can get a chain around.

Weaknesses The adjustable lower arms on the 3 point are a pain when changing implements. Lining up those holes for the pin to go in is no fun. That is the only thing I found irritating about this tractor. Our old 1975 Ford 2000 is easier to hook up.

Overall I tell all my friends to forget the other brands and buy a Kubota. I purchased a front end loader this weekend and plan to buy another tractor in the future from the same dealer. It will be a Kubota also.

Strengths I Have operated equipment sense I was old enough to set in a seat. This Tractor is the toughest machine I have ever operated. Its easy to operate and tough as nails.

Weaknesses Loader has more power than tail of unit has weight, If moving real heavy material better hang some weight on the 3 point.

Overall Have Run all brands and will never own anything but a Kubota from now on.

Strengths great Kubota quality, agile, stable, great to work with.

Weaknesses None to date

Overall Outstanding tractor in every aspect
