Tractor Shopping 40-50 hp Cab for Snow, Plowing, Rocks, Tilling, Grading, Mowing

Hi all,
Looking used.
Kioti, Mahindra, New Holland, John Deere and Kubota dealers are pretty close by.
Have been watching the Craig's List and visiting dealers.
Want forward hydraulics to mount a quick release swivel plow.
No urea fluid for me.
Leaning toward Mahindra or Kioti as they seem durable yet less expensive.

Take a look at a Massey Ferguson 1749 or 1759 too. In that size, I'd stay away from New Holland and stick with Kubota, Kioti, Massey and maybe Deere.

None of them in that hp range should use DEF, so no need to worry about that part.

Don’t be afraid of DEF, although the smaller tractors don’t use it.

A cab is worth the extra cost.

Nothing wrong with New Holland in that size - since 2014 under 65 hp tractors have been made by LS Tractors out of S. Korea and before that I think they were Shibaura's.

OP, keep New Holland, LS Tractor, and Branson tractor in your sights as well if you have any of those dealers nearby.

My friend has a 45 hp boomer. It has a crazy transmission...like a CVT. He has had alot of trouble with it

If you have a yanmar dealer or RK dealer close. I'd give them a serious look.

The YT347 also has a pretty large rebate going right now too.

 

[Oldtoad]

Yes!
Thanks, do not feel so isolated now. Glad I finally came out of the cold, joined the forum.
Keeping the Ford and Iseki, they fill niches though they do take up space and need maintaining.
