Gentlemen and Ladies I'm looking to purchase a new "brand name" tractor and I really could use this forum's help. The lay of the land is as follows.
Our 52 Acres are Agi-1 property, Hi and dry sand based consisting of trees, brush, fescue, palmetto's, grass, etc.
My intentions are to clean cut the land (not clear cut I want the large trees). But everything else must go !!
The land is vacant, no power no water no buildings.
Purchased property recently, my first project is to build a large garage then hookup ele. & h2o .
NOW comes my delemia which tractor to buy ?
I want a tractor thats big enough to handle the work load and depenable as I plan to keep for long time..
The Following Tractors I've recieved quotes on are as follows:

OK that's what I got so for, I look forward to your response.
Note: during the time I was posting this message I received info on the kubota meeting this month. I was told that the
M4900, M5700, & M6800 are being PHASED OUT. Being replaced by the 5040, 6040, & 7040. What if anything does that matter if I buy one of them being PHASED OUT ? Sounds like time to save Add'l. $$$$.
