...took a look at the Kubota dealer here (online) and it looks like they have a L3400 4X4 with a FEL, 5' shredder, and 5' box blade for $16,700. I have not been able to price compare with any other dealers yet.
How would a price like this compare with a similar John Deere? Would this be "enough" tractor or possibly too much?
That L3400 has 28.5 (HST) to 30 (Gear) PTO HP, which should be quite adequate for the tasks you're described.
As far as comparison to a Deere...I'm more into used tractors then new, but the PTO HP would put you in the 3320 or 3520. I haven't priced new Deeres in a few years, so one of our other TBN friends can better help you. As far as a used Deere, the PTO HP would put you on the seat of a 4300, 4310, 4400 or 4410. Prices of these machines (with 4WD and a loader) would be $2000-$4000 less then the L3400.
