Using a 5\' cutter with a Kub.
I have a buddy looking for a tractor for his 20 acres. He has used older machines and rented a Kubota HST model.
He wants to do some landscaping, and brush hog his pasture from time to time. His job is a 'work' at home one, so he has time slices to get after things and doesn't need high production on his cutting.
He wants to keep within a budget (around $200 monthly payment) for the tractor and loader (probably pick up a used cutter...)
He'd like to use a light duty 5' cutter, he's just cutting grasses that won't get too tall. He can leave the loader on for additional ballast, and has pretty level property. (unlike rockyridgefarm where the crazy terrain can make even the bravest souls faint.... Funny he only lives a few miles from me...)
So what are the good choices? Dealers seem to think only a grand L will handle the cutter, and of coursre that won't fit his budget. He likes the looks of an L2800. I think that even a B series like the B2630 should work...
What do you Orange Guys think? Anyone using a 5' cutter in this range and happy with their results?
