If I don't buy a second tractor soon, or trade my little Kubota, I'm going to go insane! Part of me wants to trade for a bigger CUT with a loader and just have one newer tractor. Another part of me wants to keep my 25HP Kubota for mowing around the house and buy an older, higher HP farm tractor to leave at the farm.
Just when I make up my mind one way I find another tractor that looks like 'the one'. I found a good looking Ford 4000 with a loader for $4500 delivered but it's gas. For $2000 more I can get a low hours Massey 245 diesel with a bush hog loader. Or I can buy a Kubota L3400 w very low hours and a loader, then sell my L2350.
On the one hand I would have a newer 4wd CUT to do everything but on the other I would have an older tractor just for the farm, but no single tractor with higher HP, 4wd and a loader. Total cost is about the same. Decisions, decisions!
