Hello my name is Steve from Vt.
I have to tell you folks I have been reading and enjoying your site so much
I wanted to join it and ask for your help.
I grew up on a farm here in Vermont. My first car as a teen was a tractor.
That was a long time ago however. I am getting ready to buy a new tractor.
After all the home work and test drives I am torn between Kubota L4240 and
the JD 4120 ehydro w 400 CX self level bucket.
I don't really care about the resale value of the two because for what I am going to use it for it will last a life time. It does have to be able to lift 2000 lbs.
Test drove the K L4240 and really felt comfortable on it, roomy and the HST
worked very good.NICE tractor.
The John Deere, well what do you say about a JD it is a John Deere they have a great machine. However I found the 4220 to not have as much operator room. The one I drove did not have the ehydro. The dealer said he could have one in 3 weeks built to order..Nice MY tractor built for me. A plus.
The self leveling 400CX bucket is a real add for me. The Kubota does not have that add on the L4240.I will be doing a great deal of gravel work with it.
I have a dump trailer and a new GMC 2500 HD that I am dying to put to work.
Can you guys offer any advice between the two? I'd own either one of them.
respectfully, Steve from Vermont
