Kubota L4310 HST with Cab under 2,000 hours. Is it worth buying?

I found one for sale. The loader cylinders are white so it sat outside. The rims are faded on the outside but not on the inside. The big problem that concerns me is it has foam filled tires and Kubota is obsoleting parts. Will parts availability be an issue or do I need something newer? I would not offer over $2500 for anything that if just one part broke I would need to junk it if that part was likely to break. Is it hard to add a circuit for a front grapple?

I wouldn't have thought Kubota was obsoleting parts on a 25 year old machine? They tend to have old new stock for a long time. And a lot of the parts are used on later models too.

I have considered filling my tires with foam; However, I can’t find any “DIY” kits, and I am too lazy/cheap to have it done.

The ride on my 2501 is horrible anyway, so I don’t think I would notice much of a difference….But who knows .

I can’t help on the “future parts issue" though.

Good luck

Two weeks ago I picked up a 20 year old pre-emission tractor to use to mow my fields every three weeks or so. I still need to save more pennies to buy a 8’ finish mower to pull behind it … It's a 2005 Kubota L5030 HSTC. I think paint should be shiny, and I used to simonize/clean cars when I...
