I just bought a 20 acre horse facility, 27 stall barn, arena etc. and have heard a Kubota tractor will fit my needs - move manure, dig fense posts, rake arena, move dirt etc. Can anyone recommend what would be best to meet our needs.

Jeff,
The B2910 or L3010 might be a good place to start. Visit and ask as many question at your local dealer,also try different models. Thomas..NH [img]/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif[/img] |

Jeff - I have a 10 acre horse farm, and do all the things you mentioned, and then some, with my Kubota B1700, a 17 horsepower 4 wheel drive, one of the smallest tractors Kubota makes. I have a millcreek 60 cubic foot manure spreader, a 4 foot bushhog, several drags, a 5 foot rear blade, and a front loader. I have only 7 horses, so my manure load is not so much that I need a bigger rig. I plow my driveway, bushhog my pastures, repair the fencing, drag my indoor riding arena, and never wish I had a bigger tractor. If you have more acres and more horses, or if you do what yo do for a living not a hobby, so time is important, I would certainly go bigger like the 2710/2910 or even an L series, but for me my little tractor is all I need, runs cheap, parks easily, manuvers around the barn easily and quietely, and is perfect for me.
