New to the forum and appreciate any help
Just bought 10ac outside of Portland. Heavily wooded with trees and brush to clear, about 5 ac to mow. land is sloped.
We plan on a garden and small orchard. Theres also a lot of grading to be done. Will pull more fence with some livestock.
Based on local dealers recommendations started looking at the JD 2025R and B2620 but thought more horsepower was a better idea.
In both cases the JDs were $1500 to $2000 more than the Kubotas (for the tractor plus loader). The implements are also cheaper. I thought I was comparing similar model tractors and was surprised at the price difference.
I've worked with a friend's JD 2320 and really like the quick disconnect front bucket and pallet forks. But it looks like there is a similar quick couple feature for the Kubotas FEL as well.
Did I miss something in the features that the JDs cost so much more? Could I get away with the smaller tractors?
Thanks Tim
