Which model???? BX22, B2410, B2710

[Hogkeeper]

I'm replacing my old ford with a new Kubota. I have about 10 acres to up keep and do some side work (electrical) 18" deep trenching for conduit. I like the BX because of the size. It looks like it can get into some tight spots which is a plus for me. I also plan on adding a mower so I can put my lawn tractor to bed, (3+ acres grass) another plus for the smaller tractor.
The Big question can the BX cut it or do I need to jump up to the 24, 27 model? When I look at the specifications I dont see a big difference other than the 2710 is a four cylinder with more lift capacity??? and lot more price.
I dont need all the lift but I do need a machine that will dig, dig, dig. Any comments welcome.
All three tractors appear to be well engineered but I would like to hear from first hand owner experience.

Thanks for all the help! Reviews gave me all the information I needed for now at least.

Hogkeeper you have to give it some time for people to reply. Glad the reviews helped you.

What do you consider upkeep on the rest of your 10 acres? The 3 acres of lawn shouldnt be a problem for any of the tractors you listed.

As for the digging what ground conditions and how deep? If you have very rocky soil and need a higher breakout on the hoe then you may be better off with a bigger tractor than the BX22.

Rather than wait for a redundant response, why not do a little searching for your particular question. In this same forum, there are several threads discussing this very same issue. I suggest you add your circumstances to those active discussions. Check out this thread , or this one<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=buykubota&Number=139256&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=>7500 vs 2710

I know Kubota says the 2410 can power a trencher and i would have no fear using a small trencher on it. I do not have much knowledge of trenchers and I do think the BX could run a small trencher but really cannot answer your question.
"Can the BX cut it?"----- cut what?, I am afraid you will need to be more specific.
Check out all the similar recent threads.
