I have been out kicking tires for a month now that spring fever has set in. The two dealers that I liked the most put my needs at their respective 40 HP and 45 HP machines the Kubota L4400 and Kioti D45S. I liked the Kubota MX 5000 and Kioti DK55 as well and am considering NH but not looked talked to a dealer yet. I will but this spring if it allows me to do some minor back filling and grading of our finished house site. I plan to add an FEL, brush cutter and back blade and maybe a BH initially.
What I have gleaned on TBN in a year tells me 40-45 HP may not be enough but I liked and felt comfortable with those sized machines. I do plan to work on old logging roads to access firewood so size is an issue here as is our steep property (unable to get my camera and computer in agreement to show pictures).. Please offer some advice and what else I should consider in this decision.
