Good luck on whatver tractor you get.
one thing though.. i see you mentioned pushing dirt... keep in mind that box blades pull dirt great.. but you have to be carefull pushing dirt... a scut / cut and a rear blade is not a bull dozer. Those drag links are great in tension.. not so great under compression.. looking at the geometry.. etc..

I agree... I will probably be scraping an inch at a time with the box blade and then removing the spoils with the FEL.
I bought the Kubota L2800 HST w/FEL today.
