This is my first post, so thanks in advance. I am not new to tractor operation, but am used to standard agricultural machines, and plead ignorance regarding compact machines.
I'm trying to get a comparison of these two machines as well as other comparable ones in the approximately 30-HP range. I am looking for a 4WD machine in the 3,000 to 4,000 pound range with a loader. An independent PTO is important as I will by operating a roller-feed 3-point chipper on the machine (thus the weight). My property is quite hilly. The machine will be used for brush clearing, light to medium duty grading, and general chores.
I have decent dealer support locally for both, and prices are comparable. Features seem to be comparable, so I am curious about user-friendliness and durability.
