Review By : commander k on 12/5/2008
Price Paid : $34.00

Strengths Excellent power/torque curve, trans. brake very positive & safe, seem to have less skidding with hyd brakes, powerful FELS, responsive & positive controls, great manoverability for size. 12 speed tranny & hyd shuttle great, Superior engine, min. of smoke

Price Paid : $34,000.00
Years of Use : 1-2 Years Use
Implements : Kubota 1353 Loader
Purchased From : Thornhill Equipment
Strengths Easy to start in cold weather, MFWD gets you through anything, Loader attachements can be changed in less than 5 min.
Weaknesses The joystick on the loader keeps coming loose. Looks like it could just be from a striped bolt.
Overall Great trator for the price. Almost $10,000 less that a comparable John Deere. This is the second Kubota we have owned with no problems. We also have a 7 year old M4900 that we bought new. It now has 600 hours.
