Hello, first time posting on TBN. I'm hoping to tap your vast knowledge and experience.
I'm currently looking at buying either a Deere 1026R or a BX2660 with comparable implements:
- Loader (200CX vs LA243)
- Midmount mower (60D 7-Iron vs RCK60B23BX)
- Rotary cutter (Frontier RC2048 vs Landpride RCR1548)
I've got quotes from local Kubota and JD dealers and they're nearly identical, so I'm having trouble choosing between them. Here's what I'm planning to do with these machines:
- Mowing around house and farm structures (MMM)
- Mowing around orchard trees (~5 acres, fairly flat with a slight slope): rotary cutter
- Occasionally moving soil, gravel, bucked limbs etc: FEL
- I can foresee maybe renting or buying a 4' tiller sometime in the future to till small garden plots but generally for the big stuff I can hire someone locally
Thanks in advance for any advice!
