John Dear, Kubota 7000
Hi I need a small tractor with a front loader and to run a rotovator around 1 mtr and a Flail mower around 80 cm. I have been offered a Kubota A14 which I thought would be 14hp but the owner thinks it is 18hp (I have also seen one advertised as 19hp), can anyone confirm what power this has? What is the general opinion as to which of these would be best?

I think the a14 is 14.5 hp. I think the B7100 is a little bigger tractor. But without power steering they both make poor choices for a loader tractor.

Come August I will have owned my manual steering, loader equipped Yanmar 276D for 11 years.
Is power steering nice? You betcha.
Is it necessary? Nope
I live on 20 acres of woods,hills, and ledge. I'll be 73 in February and and manage well without power steering.

I bought a B7200HST loader a year ago. Even with a load in the bucket, steering is not a big deal with adequate rear counterweight.
