At the time I owned a '79 Kubota L295DT with a 66" box blade on the back, but there was no reasonable (cost effective) way to add a loader, which is a must for working my little acreage. I like Kubotas, but like some others, I very much disliked their toe/heel HST control. At John Deere in Chickasha I tried out a 3032E with loader and loved everything about it. Loaded the rear tires, hung a 400 lb box blade on the back, and added a set of bucket teeth and a Greens Machine bucket thumb. The tractor has a low center of gravity and is very stable feeling. I was surprised to learn JD was very competitive with Kubota on pricing. I've since added  rear hydraulics and top and tilt, which makes driveway and road maintenance much easier.</p></blockquote><p></p>
