    This video from Neil Messick popped up on YouTube feed. Seems like a pretty detailed and honest review, considering he is a salesman/dealership owner.

    Great video, thank you. My B2650 is a little small, I would like something bigger. I guess I’ll look at the Cab model of that.

    My Kubota expert called me and said that tractor isn’t that much bigger than my B series and they share a lot of the same parts.

    That's my understanding too, more of B+ than and L-. If you want/need a bigger tractor def go to L/grandL or bigger. Small steps in size of tractors are rarely worth it, in general, unless you have very specific needs.

    I bought my New Holland tractor and some other equipment from Brian Messick when he worked at the Abottstown store. I think he's back at the Etown store now. Always treated me good. So your buying a new tractor Mike?
    :whistle:

    Heck no! I have a nearly perfect tractor, grand L 3710, pre-EPA. Kind of a holy grail to find one of them used in good shape, but I got lucky a few years back.

    I’m looking at the Grand L’s now! Kubota makes a ton of different models!

    My grand L has been really good for me. The upgraded 3 pt hitch components and flat floor are VERY handy. Honestly, it's done everything I have ever wanted it to. Then again, I only really run it in the woods for firewood and lumber mostly. I assume that if I had big fields to work, a bigger/heavier tractor would have some benefits. Good luck.

    I’be has my L3560 for 2 years now, and have been very satisfied. Really like the transmission, the flat floor, the air ride seat, and the 3 point hitch extenders. Seems like little things, but they make work easier.
    About 175 hours-mostly mowing, bush hogging and snow plowing.
