The ability of the Kubota BX25D & Koiti CS2410 to perform!

Many will say local Dealer support and longevity is very important.

Some brands have come and gone and leave owners holding the bag and this might be why the reference?

I also own a much larger TLB and find I use my BX most of the time...

You might also consider renting or hiring out a large one time project and then have a smaller machine to maintain things.

Funny thing about some sub and compact tractors is there is often not much to be saved buying used unless you happen to stumble upon a great deal locally which can happen.

My brother spent about 3 months checking out Tractors for sale and finally bit the bullet and bought a new L3800... he could not be happier and it really was not too much more than what he was looking at used plus he has a warranty.

IMPO, neither of those smaller tractors is suited to digging stumps, or a pond. Stumps are one of the most equipment breaking tasks on earth, depending on size of same. Pond digging is a huge task and requires substantial lifting power and significant ballast, again depending on size/terrain on site. Both tasks are better suited to an excavator. Talk to neighbors/friends who already own tractors and who may know your land to get a better idea about what you need/require, and whether you should hire out the work and use a smaller tractor to do more suited to capacity tasks.

1. determine primary uses/capacity for lifting/soil compaction
2. desire for ease of getting on/off
3. ground clearance desired
4. willingness to rent or hire tractor/operator for the larger tasks
5. room to store tractor and implements - big tractors use larger implements
6. terrain - rough, smooth (consideration for the tire sizes)

Why? What is it that sets this tractor apart from the others? It isn't as capable as most of the competition. The warranty isn't as good. The features are lacking.

???

Because Kubota is best made tractor for under 50 hp machines and the B is more powerful than BX but about same foot print size wise.

Lol, hardly. That's opinion... and one that I'd disagree with, both from personal experience and published data here on this site.

I don't care what anybody say's but That's Funny!

Back to the original question... they are all performers.

If digging is priority one, representing the Lion's share of the work, I'd go bigger still: CK27 or larger. But these are terrible mowers: too heavy. Tough to find one that does both very well. Maybe the Mahindra Max28XL??

I am leading towards The Mahindra Max28xl. For another $4000.00 to 5000.00 seems like more solid tractor1 Thoughts?

Kubota, Deere, Kioti, Massey, LS, Mahindra, etc. They are all good tractors. You won't find the best. If you're lucky, you'll find the one that best fits your needs, budget and ergonomic requirements, and is sold by the dealer you trust the most.

That's the way! Follow his advice and go put your Butt in some seats.
