I'm moving onto 6.5 acres late this summer (4 acre horse pasture, 2 acre lawn). I'm seeking 30+hp cab tractor/attachment buying advice. Here is what I want to do:
cut rough grass
cut lawn grass
lift small round bales
pasture/paddock maintenance
general landscaping & grass seeding
blow snow to clear driveway and horse trailer turn-around
keep mosquitoes off me in summer
keep warm in -40 Winnipeg winters
I'm thinking the following two tractors should be sufficient:
JD3320 CAB / 300CX loader
KUBOTA L3240HSTC / LA724 loader
I'm thinking the following attachments:
quick attach bucket
quick attach bale spear
3 pt snow blower w. hydraulic chute rotation and deflector
3 pt rough cut mower
3 pt finish mower
3 pt tiller
3 pt landscape rake
3 pt broadcast spreader
I have multiple JD and Kubota dealers in Winnipeg and surrounding areas. I have seen and driven both on dealers lots. Price is as expected with JD slightly higher. Honestly I could go either way. What did you (or would you) decide and why?
