Hi All,
We have 40 acres of rolling hills with fields/forests that we maintain 10' wide paths on. We are looking to replace our 1950s Massey w/5' bush hog with something more user-friendly. The grass can get 3-4' high at times but only needs a rough cut for our needs. We also pull logs around to cut up and haul to the barn on a utility trailer. We will probably put around 50 hours on the tractor a season.
I've done quite a bit of reading on the forum and others but am looking for specific advice.
Will the 1025R be "enough tractor" to handle our needs?
Is the 2032R (I believe it was redesigned like the 1025R recently) worth the extra $3k?
Is a MMM rugged enough to handle our mowing needs? (A MMM is appealing for the driveability)
Has Kubota redesigned any similar tractors recently to compete with JD?
Thanks,
