GW: is it 4wd?

I bought an L5030 HST about 2 years ago. I have 22 acres and have been very pleased with it. I'm new to the tractor (and pond) thing but I would recommend a Kubota.

After doing some research I narrowed it down to JD and Kubota. Partly due to my needs and their reputation reputation but also due to the proximity of the dealerships. Seems JD wanted a few more $$ just for the green paint and the local dealer didn't seem too interested in my business. My local Kubota dealer was great and I believe I got a very fair price.
