Looking to buy a sub compact tractor.. Have looked at the JD 1 series, like the 1026r but dont think it is worth the extra money, haven't looked at the MF 2410 or 2610 yet but plan to this week. Like the kubota bx25 but think it has some limitations, small backhoe size and not sure if their is really a difference between the single bs double hydraulics. Liked the cub cadet 2450 and can get a great price on a demo model, but other than the cub dealer no one has anything good to say about it, although it seems to spec out the best of them all...
I know people will say the dealer matters, they are all within 30 miles of me, I really liked the cub dealer, the kubota dealer is a friend of a friend, a friend of mine has a JD and likes the dealer, haven't interacted with the Massey dealer yet...
Price is close, although the CC is lore on the demo, the kubota is 1500 more, the JD is about 2200 more and the Massey is prob in the middle....
Would appreciate any input.. The smart money is on the cub cadet, great specs, good price and dealer, and great warranty... Not sure I can justify spending that much more on the JD and don't know slot about the MF yet.
Planning on driving them all in the next week.
