Mine was a 319D but they are just awful so laggy and not sensitive enough, ok if just moving material or nothing precise but trying to grade or maneuver in tight spaces it's awful. I tried changing the settings and ran other machines but it's just a Deere thing, honestly if it's all you've ran you might not notice, but jump into a Case and back into the Deere and you'll never want to run the Deere again. Or maybe you're running newer one's and they finally made them better from 10ish years ago.

Ran 333e and 324g. No complaints with either Usually run on 2nd setting for productivity
Just finished making 2 bin pads 50x100 and was within 2” ( transit verified) across whole thing by eyesight from skid steer seat. So can’t be to awful for control
Fill Clay material - that once you drive on it couple times could barely cut it with new edge

Yea they will do that no problem and you get use to it but running other machines really shows how lacking the controls are. I like my machines to respond instantly to input, not a few seconds later.

I had a cat 236 that was brutal for that, no breakout force what so ever

I find that the controls in both Deere products we have are very accurate and have no issues. Same thing with the bobcat I had previously. If that was a common issue wouldn't all these construction companies be buying different equipment. Is this an issue with an odd individual unit.
Kinda like trailer brakes…

Ran the neighbors cat skid steer on tracks to load sand from our pit for his horse riding arena ( was super dry and figured I’d be stuck and spinning to much with backhoe or my tire skid steer. Definitely wasn’t impressed with the cat. Also had weak hyd compared to deere and watching lift capacity videos. Deere in league of own.
Could be partial to Deere too I guess as we have amazing support in town for ag ( lots of parts can get for construction too ) and if going to city brandt
Friend just got the new big case on tracks. Waiting for chance to see it doing some real work

Well went with the new Kubota, packaged in a zero turn mower with it and got more of a discount. Sales rep has been great and dealer is 15 minutes from my house. Pick it up in a couple weeks when we get back from Montana camping.

Will do. We are just a residential 54" gas mower. More then enough for our acreage. Was also looking at Club Cadet and Toro.

I've been running a cub cadet 54" zero turn for a couple years. It's been great except the bagger plugs up too easy if there is any moisture in the grass.

Well day 1 of using it and already had the Kubota service guy out. Turbo charge tube blew off, minor and could have fixed it myself but guy said I shouldn't have to and he would be right out. Pretty good customer service, something that looks like it was missed during the PDI.

Other than that pretty impressed with the unit so far.

That kind of sucks but I guess that sh!t happens. The only problem I've ever had with mine is the def pump went on it. Fixed under warranty but gone for 3 weeks. You should not have that problem

Was a quick fix. Just sucked that it happened within 30 minutes of using it, but hose reinstalled and clamps tightened an now issues the rest of the day. If that ends up being my biggest issue then all good by me. The fact that they were out to my place within an hour of calling was pretty impressive for a Saturday I thought, even when I told them I could fix it myself.

I don't think you're gonna realise how much the front sliding door is going to benefit you. I had a Bobcat and I couldn't open the door if it was an inch off the ground. Which was quite regular in grading situations or snow removal.
One of the main reasons I bought a kubota

So what is your one month review? Was in to Edmonton Kubota yesterday to look at a 75-3 and he was telling me to just get a 65-2 for my needs

Other than my turbo charge tube blowing off a couple of times its ran great with no other issues. Haven't used it much these days off with how wet my yard is but been using it on my driveway and a few areas as an excuse to get out and play. I probably could have went with the 65-2 but Id rather be slightly oversized then wishing I had the power and lifting capacity later on.
