Hello! I have been lurking and reading the forums for the last week and decided to join and hopefully get some feedback on the tractors I am looking at.
I have 14 acres with a 6 acre pond. The remaining acres are fenced for livestock or horses by the people that previously owned it. Some of it is pasture. I also have the pond area that will need maintenance around. I originally looked at an L2501 with FEL and bush hog but got scared it would be too big since my acreage isn't wide open and is divided into little areas. So then I looked at the B2601 with FEL and MMM, BX 25D with MMM, BX2370 with FEL and MMM, and then even looked at a ZD zero turn. I think I have eliminated the zero turn as there are just many things we could do with a FEL around the place.
I really like the L2501(actually my favorite) but am afraid it is too much for the areas I have to maneuver around and down like the pond dam. So then is the B2601 small enough and then is the BX too small are things I am asking myself. Also, do I really need a small backhoe but it's only $74/month difference to get it so I've basically talked my self into it.
I would be the main one running it, not my husband. He told me just pick as we have price quotes on all of the above.
I would appreciate any positives or negatives you have regarding the above models.
Thanks in advance!
