I'm really trying hard to decide on a tractor and I can't seem to make my mind up. Currently, I have a 1986 JD 750 4wd 20hp. It is a perfect size for me and I have never needed more power for any kind of work o do. I'm looking to upgrade to a HST for convenience, power steering, and also a loader more for handy jobs than anything serious. The hardest my tractor works is with a box blade pulling a box full of gravel uphill on my driveway. I rev it up to 2k rpms and don't have any problems.
I'm trying to sell my 750 outright, but it's either too small for people or it doesn't have a bucket. I may have to take a hit and trade it in on something new.
Right now, my max budget is really $13k. The contenders so far are:
New Kioti CS2410 24hp $12,400
New Cub Cadet/Yanmar SC2400 24hp $12,200
New Masey Ferguson GC1705 22.5hp $12,500
Used Kubota BX2660 26hp great shape 172hrs (has turf tires that I don't want) $11,000
All of these choices are priced with a loader and HST. My main job is maintaining 4 acres of open woods with a 4ft brush hog and grading my gravel driveway.
