Hi Everyone,
I've been researching it seems like forever and now it's finally time to replace the old 8n. I'm trying to stay under $20,000.This is what I'm looking at-
Kubota l3800 with FEL and QA bucket,Ag tires,gear tranny--$18,300 or 17,300 cash price.Also about $400 to load back tires.
Massey 1533 with FEL with QA bucket, Ag tires, 8x8 shuttle tranny and loaded tires--$18925 with free FEL and cash instead of financing.
I also loked at NH boomer 35 and kioti CK35 and am waiting on a price but I wasn't impressed with the tractors or the dealer(same for both tractors)
I have 18 acres total -brush hog 4 acres regulary, 3 acres lawn that mow with a Scag and the rest woods(firewood cutting and trail upkeep) and snow plowing a 450' driveway. I'm a bricklayer so eventually will get forks to help unload the truck once in a while.
So the Massey definitly had more features(extendable 3 point arms ,independant PTO,higher lift capacity( PTO and FEL),shuttle. I just wonder why I see so many more Kubotas around here than Masseys.Is there something I'm missing? Massey seems like a lot nicer tractor for not alot more money.
Thanks for any help,Jeff
