Thank you to any of you who might be able to help.
I searched the previous posts but couldn't find much about Kubota 6030.
Here's the situation: we just bought 72 acres, the land is not completely flat, it has some hills, about 36 acres of it is in pasture, maybe 20 in timber, some wetland, and so on. What we want the tractor for: a little bit of everything (as crazy as this may sound). In the future we want to have a few acres of hay, a few acres of vegetables, some fruit trees, some animals.
I looked around for tractors a lot in the last few months. Your forum here helped me tremendously. Every time I found one I came here and searched to see what people that owned it had to say about it. Very useful! I learned a lot, but I don't know anything yet.
Long story short: I am looking at a used Kubota M6030n (which stands for narrow), from the nineties, with 2700 hours on it. It's a 4WD, 3 cylinder, 60 HP, has not attachments whatsoever. The guy used it in a cherry orchard, and the tractor seems so be well taken care for. I have only seen pictures of it. He is asking $9,500.
I know somebody here said that they would never buy a tractor without FEL, but I was thinking we could get one later and put it on. We would also have to get all the needed implements: tiller, rotary cutter, blade and so on.
As far as the budget goes, we can't afford anything more than $10,000 for the tractor right now, and we will have to get the attachments one by one later on.
My reasoning is that we need a big tractor for this much land, and this one, even with this many hours on it, might still be good for a long time. We can't justify buying a new one right now, big or small.
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!
