- Kubota B8200D; JD 5205 MFWD w/522 Loader
I am shopping for a new farm tractor. I am looking at the JD 5105 FWD with a 522 loader, and the Kubota M4800SUD with the LA10025R1 loader.
I own 37 acres in central Ga. Some fairly steep slopes, some gentle slopes, some flat. About 25 acres cleared, the rest in hardwood bottom.
Looking to fence in at least 20 acres and plant in coastal bermuda and other forage. I have a big mess to clean up as pines have just been harvested. After I hire a bulldozer to dig up stumps, I will have lots of tractor work to do, harrowing and planting etc.
We will be keeping horses for my daughter and some beef cattle for our consumption. Once the fences are up and a barn built, we will be looking to board horses for additional income.
So, are these size tractors adequate? Which brand do you guys prefer?
