I need some advice on what make the most sense. Never owning a Subcut or Cut I need some help
I have about 2.5 acre of land currently that I care for, we have bought over 3 acres of land to build on. My questions;
I have looked at both BX24 and Kioti CK25 tractors, 2 different types (sub CUT and CUT). Let me explain.
Our current needs include cutting 2.5 acres of grass, we need to landscape 1 acres of this land, and some of this includes moving rocks (basket ball size) and gravel around my current home. I have some short mounds of dirt to dig up, size of a small car and smaller. I also need to build a retaining wall with the rocks and backfill with dirt.
Once we move, we will have a new home to work on, new landscaping around the new home and property. As well as maintenance and clearing of a long drive way and ¼ mile of road. The new home will be landscaped with stone.
Other needs; at this point I know I will need a PHD, Loader for sure, rear blade and a box blade. Other possible attachments include a Brush hog (if we only mow part of the 3+ acres).
We will have a large deck to install, and a large fenced in area and holes for a pole barn.
Cost, I have looked at both units and they fit into our current price range.
Tractors: I have looked at everything in our area. These two tractors dealers fit our needs in price and service so I would like to stick to these two tractors.
The BX will be a better mower. My thought is with the smaller lifting capacity, the backhoe would be a good fit, and also I could plant and or move some tree in my new land. I’m worried that the smaller SubCut will have some issues in PHD and in road maintenance.
The larger Kioti would handle larger 3 point implements better but my hope is the FEL would be able to do the digging I need now and down the road. The BX will mow much better, but with the new land I can set it up so a rear mount mower would work.
What are your thoughts?
