Hello, I'm new to this site and could use some advice. I'm planning on buying a compact tractor (with cab) sometime within the next 6 months. I anticipate my needs are going to be bush-hogging 6 to 8 acres regularly, occasionally pulling a box blade and tiller, occasionally moving gravel, dirt, and mulch, and using the tractor to move a 20,000 boat in and out of a storage building (1-2% grade).
So far I'm considering either a JD4720 and Kubota L5740, but I've just started my research so I'm open to other brands or models.
My priorities are comfort, ease of exchanging accessories, dependably, and minimal hassle transmission controls.
Is the air-ride seat on the 4720 worth the cost? Does Kubota offer such a seat? Also do any of these cab-equipped compact tractors have a backhoe option?
Any comments or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
