So here's my situation. I live on 5 acres that needs some brush clean up and I plan on doing quite a bit of landscaping. If it were just that I think my choice would be a lot easier. I live on a privately maintained gravel road about a mile long. And it's not so well maintained. I also have a father in law with a JD 4300 and he has numerous implements he will let me use box grader, tiller, post hole digger, brush hog and some others. With all that said I am thinking about buying my own tractor and starting a business using it. Not going to quit my daytime job (commercial electrician) but something I would enjoy and make money doing it. Or at least make a tractor payment. For the road maintenance I've read you need a fair amount of hp to pull a good box grader and looked at some of the hydraulically operated blade scrapers and they also require a fair amount of power. Was leaning towards the L4701. Am I focusing too much on the HP or is that what u need for road maintenance. I assume it would easily handle other tasks I would use it for like a brush hog tiller and back hoe work. And yes I'm pretty set on getting a Kubota. Good dealer support and it's what I like.
