Great little machine
By Jason Hughes(Owner), Mar. 7, 2015
I purchased my 2370 new with the R-4 tires, front loader and scraper blade last year around August.
I put 54 hours on it and saved myself probably 500 hours of doing it all by hand. I dug out an area in my back yard for an above ground swimming pool and back filled around a new garage I had b

uilt.
I then moved on to clearing out the woods around my house so its just large trees but all the brush etc and downed trees are gone. Which on a side note if you need an awesome tool for clearing brush quickly and efficiently down to the bare dirt get a Ratchet Rake. You will not find a better more well made tool for the job.
Back to the Kubota though, I moved around 100 tons of dirt, sand, graved and brush/trees etc. with no problems.
This thing had amazing power especially in low range and sips diesel. Mine averages 10-12 hours of operation time off 6-gallons of fuel running at around 2500 Rpm.
It is comfortable enough to run for hours at a time and is not overly loud. Also if you are looking at a Deere what sold me on the Kubota is the ability of the loader to do two things at once such as lift and dump etc. because it has a nicer hydraulic control valve on it. The Deere can only do one thing at a time like lift then dump which makes things a pain if you are trying to slope a hill or control the height of the bucket while dumping. The front axle on the Kubota is also rated at about 400 pounds more.
I have no complaints about this machine and am glad I bought it because as I get older the less fun it is to do things by hand. This thing is a lifesaver with which you wont be disapointed
