Thanks Jerry , Yep I got both the YTO & the Iseki going during the winter with the exception of replacing the needed gears in the front axle for the 4wheel drive on the Iseki . I,m using it as 2wd but really miss the 4wd for when I need to work down along the river bank . I found the gears I need but with shipping from Japan there going to be around 1500 to put it back into new condition . Thats more then I want to spend really .

So I'm kicking around selling both tractors as is & getting a little bigger one with a wider footprint as well as sits a little lower then my YTO , a few more horses wouldn't hurt either but I dont want to be out any money on the deal , I'm perty sure I can get around 12 to 14 K out of both of them which would come close to putting me into a new one with a warranty for a change . I sure like the looks of the LS though .

Get ya another red one to match

$14k would put you close to a Kioti CK35 w/loader, a few thousand more and you'd be looking at a 35 HP Mahindra, which is the "improved" version of my 3510 - both have dealers just North of Pawnee & West street.
Moundridge (just N of Newton) has a TYM dealership - if I remember correctly, their T350 is the same machine as mine with a different hood ornament.

I've got less than $17k in my Kubota, L3400DT with loader.

Thanks for the input Fellers , I guess I didn't realize you could buy much these days for around 14 or 15 K anymore. I guess I'll start contacting some of the local dealers around here.

yup - I gave right at $18k for mine with loader - tractor came from korea, loader from sterling, Ks. (KMW)
