Hello All,
I sold my Kubota L4200 several months ago and have been looking a tractors to replace it since I sold it, I will be purchasing something in the 40-50 HP range, compact line tractor, I have looked at all the brands and due to finances will be buying used, I am wanting to spend 18K to 25K and would like another cabbed tractor if I can find one, my biggest problem is that I always liked a gear drive tractor but most of the ones I have looked at, most recently a Kubota L4240 are all hydro, I will be using the machine to finish mow, brush hog, move round bales and box blade, I really need input on how well a hydro runs compared to gear, my biggest concern is pulling logs up hills out of my woods, how much HP does a hydro rob? the only hydro I use is my dads Kubota B2150 but I have only finished mowed with it. Any advice/experience is appreciated.
Mike
