Hi, I'm in the market for another tractor. I have a 1970 MF1080, but it's 3pt hitch is so weak it won't lift a bush hog and I don't have facilities to split it right now.
What do all the letter designations of Kubotas mean? (M, L, B, X)
I don't know why all the tractor companies can't get together with uniform designations. I want something in the order of 50hp, and I like the MX5100 that was at the dealer last time I looked.
I looked at all the other new tractors, but I'd rather stay away from "made in India, Mexico, Brazil, Korea". The only option in that hp range seems to be the Kubota, and to me, "made in Japan" seems the better of the bunch. Is that just me being crazy?
Should I look for an older JD instead? There was a 2155 for around $10,000. Tractordata.com indicates that it was made in Germany.
The Kubota would be new, but would mean making payments. It is around $30,000 up here in Canada, after taxes.
I'd like to run at least a 5' tiller, and be able to pick up a 12' JD T100 disc. I'm not sure the Kubota would pick up my disc, it's quite soggy!
Thanks for any advice.
