Hi All,
I'm considering a Grand L 30 Series. I have read many, many helpfull post...thanks!
But I have some questions. I have 250a in Northern Michigan (UP), about 40a of fields/apple trees-flat, the balance is rolling to steep hills with lots of hardwood trees. Half mile county road that the county poorly maintains.
I want to keep my woods roads maintained and mowed, move gravel, ditch and maintain the county road better than what the county does. A little field mowing and some post hole digging. Heavy snowblower in the future (200+ inches each winter). Clean up some old falling down farm buildings. Initial work will tax me and the tractor more than the maintenance work in the future.
I looked at the 30 Series and was very impressed with the build quality, this board supports my view and a friend has a smaller Kubuto and loves it.
I'm considering a XX30 with LA723 FEL, a 5' or 6' Bush Hog, 6' Box Scraper, 6' or maybe larger Back Blade. I'm looking at the GST even though a lot of folks here go with the HST. $3000 more for HST and it seems to me the GST will work fine for my applications.
I'm lost on the HP. Dealer says 3130 will do it all, many post on this board says the 3130 will do it all but others have bought more HP.
Any comments would be most appreciated on which XX30 you far more experienced folks would suggest.
Thanks, Ed
