Strengths Power to weight ratio, Engine, good brakes

Weaknesses Speed of hydraulics, especially the 3 point hitch

Overall In 10 years I have owned a Kubota b5200, b8200, L2600, L39tlb, Century 3510, Kioti 3054, DK35, DK45. I have a lot to compare with and other than the Kubota L39, which is an industrial machine, they're just about all very similar. I like the shuttle over the hydro because of the lack of power loss, especially with loader work. Even with this small engine I do loader work at 1600rpm or so, not like the 2400 I thought I would have to use.
