I previously posted about being unable to decide between a Cub Cadet 8354 and a Kubota 3130. This past week has added several twists!
I have 1 mile of road to grade and do some snow plowing. 100-200 yds. of material to move over the next two years and a 12 acre, mostly wooded yard to maintain. The tractors and their prices being considered now are:
L3400 Kubota with/FEL. 15200
L3130 GST w/FEL qa hd bucket. 17800 (DT 17000)
L3430 GST w/FEL qa hd bucket. 18400 (DT 17600)
New Holland TC 35 (shuttle) w/FEL and qa hd bucket. 17636
I had it down to two tractors and the dealer raised it to four!! He was great, very patient, had me drive them, load with them, etc. After a couple of hours they all seemed the same.
Thanks for any input or comments that you may have to offer.
