- Case JXU 85; Kubota B1550HST
First post, having just registered. Have lurked here for a month or so now getting info on different tractors.
I have a busy work life, a young family, and 16acres of horse farm.
I already have a Kubota B1550 HST (1600hrs) with 5' mid mounted mower deck, and 3'6" slasher, but wanted something bigger.
First settled on a Kubota M8540, looked at Massey, NH, and then Case, finally settling on a new Case JXU 85 with air cab...... big, I know, but affordable, and future-proof; comfortable and capable.
Delivery is still a while away, so this is just a webphoto (not mine).
Coupled with a Challenge CL361X loader, Aussie engineered and made, 4/1 heavy duty 1860mm bucket. Come painted Case red.
(another generic image, different size loader)
Also getting a new slasher, Howard 6' EHD, dual wheels.
Going big, looking at time savings, and buying quality to start with to be better in the long run.
Thanks for the great resource. I hope to be able to contribute.
