All the tractors that you have mentioned are up the tasks that you are describing. The fact that time is not a factor is a big plus. A small tractor with a loader is not a bulldozer but then again a small tractor with a loader and tooth bar can certainly do a little dirt work.

The 2370 is the new model, 2360 is discontinued and could possibly have some big price breaks depending what dealer you go to. But it will do what you need done.
The best part is that the engine falls below the Fed specs, so there is no pollution controls.

You aren't rambling at all..........I can still understand you in my 'stupor'.......after all it is Saturday night:laughing:No worries, in your defense it's 1130 on a Saturday(and the regular crowd shuffles through), and I'm sitting by my Bon fire with a beverage or two so I may have rambled just a bit!
But the funniest thing is..........A Massey guy is sitting here telling you to buy a Kubota.............LMFAO.
Try them both. I liked the left foot brake on the Massey. The 2360 has a Right foot brake, 2370 has a Left foot brake.

A lot depends on your budget and whether you are looking at new or used. A good late model used you will not save much over a new one. All the major brands have a 0 down, 0 percent interest deal. I really pondered the need for a BH when I was looking. Took the plunge and it was the best part of the investment, so bought a BX 25. They come standard w/FEL and BH. It is on the tractor 1/4 of the time. I have dug out 12" alder trees with it, many ditches for utilities and drainage. It is a lot faster digging than the FEL for a lot of things. I just made a real tooth bar for mine and it really makes a difference digging with the FEL. Not everybody has the skills or the welding equipment to make things though. Mine has replaceable teeth and they are 5" long. As long as you are not plowing and other farm practices the small SCUTS are real work horses. Mine pulls a 5' 2 gang disc, subsoiler and middle buster with no problem. Out here the BX 25 is $16K.
