The Kubota is an EXCELLENT machine! Some people on here wiil come on and tell you to buy a 30 or 40 year old machine and it will last longer than any new Kubota and that is just not the case. I have three Kubota's a JD and a New Holland and the Kubota's get ran the hardest and need the least amount of repairs. However, with all that said, with 200 acres I'd strongly recomend going up to an M series tractor instead of the L. Not that the L is a bad mahcing, they are very good machines but with 200 acres I think you'll find yourself wanting bigger implements to get more done. If you were gonna have 20-50 acres I'd say ok get the L, but I'd stongly recomend looking at a used M4700, M4800, M4900, M5400, M5700, or maybe an M4030, M5030. You should be able to find some of them in that price range. Buy the newest one you can afford and you will have far fewer headaches than trying to keep an antique machine going. Heck, I'd even look at a new one, Kubota has some awesome finance programs.

And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
