Still snow on the ground here in PA. And the idea of 4WD is attractive.
I've got about 65 ac -- 20 is pasture. Live on a hill with about 9% slope. Currently have an old IH 454 that needs to find another home. Also a Case backhoe that is way too big for many applications (and is a tough starter).
Fortunately, found these discussion groups and have lurked for awhile.
I had been looking at Kubotas -- L3430 to L4330 w/front end loader (BTW like all of the posts about teeth for the bucket).
Well the Grand series is certainly glitzy (not to mention expensive), but I've read a lot of threads about New Hollands, looked at some of the gray market postings, and am feeling a lot less confident of my direction.
Beginning to wonder whether the HP range of what I'm looking at is too high? Whether the NH models are price competitive?
Have not seen much available in the used market either...
Would welcome suggestions --
Aplications -- bush hogging, blade, pasture rennovation, subsoil plowing, manure moving, and, yes, getting through the snow.
