Buying Advice Want Another

[RFB]

Sirs,

I am in the market for a new tractor. I want to add this to my Kubota 5030HSTC.

The reason I am asking here is to determine if I have overlooked any models/variants.

I want 85 to 100 pto hp MFWA with a
climate controlled cab with instructors seat (The instructors seat is mandatory.)

I will be optioning with a QA FEL, front and rear hydro ports, full exterior lighting...all bells and whistles.

My stumbling block is that I really, REALLY enjoy HST for how I use my tractor and my intended use for this one as well. (In the winter I do a lot of snow clearing, and HST for the back and forth and variable speeds like a gas pedal is perfect.) I am considering the Kubota M105X and the JD 6430 Premium.

The 105X is a hydro 24, the JD has a Infinitely Variable Transmission available.

I think the Kubota and Deere are both excellent quality. Please fire away and help me with this.

Have you looked at the MF5465 it has all the bells and whistles and ths dyna 4 trans. This is a great tractor.

I had not until you suggested and so I just did.

A quite interesting possibility; thank you for the tip. Do you know if an instructors seat is available?

Are you sure these units(105X is a hydro 24, the JD has a Infinitely Variable Transmission) are HST transmissions? Or did I misunderstand what you were saying? I didnt think there were any machines that big with HST transmissions. I think there some with the CVT trans but not sure.

Yes sir they do. If u would like a quote I can give one. They are realy great tractors. I had one on the lot a played around with it and man that trans is awsome.and right now they are offering a free FEL with it.

I guess that I was unclear. No, neither of those (or the MF) is an HST. If they were that would make the choice simpler.

I am trying to find an alternative that gets as close as possible to the ease of use and reduced cockpit workload as an HST. I have never used IVT/CVT or a hydro shuttle/Dyna 4/Auto Quad and so have nothing to compare regarding their functionality.

I am all ears.

jlsmith,

Yes sir, I would like that. If you PM me I will give you my email. Also, can you expound some on the transmission. I do a lot of snow plowing (with an FEL mounted plow) and snowblowing. The plowing is a lot of back and forth FEL work, hence the love for the HST.
