Just wondering what model of Kubota you are looking at?

I have a B6100 with hydrostatic transmission, 2wd. It's been a great tractor so far. There is 2250 hours showing on it at this point. It's a 3 cylinder diesel as well, and is a nice working motor, though mechanically noisy, as many Japanese diesels are. I believe it runs 21:1 compression ratio, just like my Isuzu truck engine.

Repair can be expesive with these, so beware. Similar to Mercedes diesels, you don't fix the engines often, but when you do, it isn't a Chev 350 for parts cost.
