Doug, I have a 1995 L2950DT, which is a 3-cylinder, 27 HP tractor. I don't know the Kubota line well enough to say how similar or different my tractor is from the L295DT. Given that, here are my opinions: 1. Kubota is #1 in sales in the U.S. in tractors under 50 HP. They are well-built and reliable.
2. You might need rings at 5000 hours, then again maybe not. 1400 hours is nothing. Everything depends on maintenance. Ask for oil change intervals, air filter changes, etc.
3. No small tractor is wonderful in snow without chains. But the 4WD helps.
4. No experience.
5. If it is like mine, it doesn't even require the glow plugs until you get down below freezing.
6. There is a tractor blue book that lists prices; I don't have one. Probably $5 to $7.5K.
7. I don't know if what you're looking at is what my tractor has or not. If it works like the 4WD on mine, it is indispensable. But if you really get stuck, the loader will push or pull you out. When I forget and leave my tractor in 2WD, it feels like something is broken.. the motor revs but the tractor doesn't want to move. By the way, with the loader on the front, you will NEED to have something on the rear. I tipped my tractor forward onto the bucket once, lifting something w/o a counterweight on the rear.
