Ford 1720 vs. Kubota L3010

[MMH]

Looking for a tractor for clearing & excavation work. Found a 1720 w/ a FEL & backhoe. I'm a little more familiar w/ Kubotas so I wanted to know how this tractor would compare to a L series. Size wise, robustness wise, etc.

Initially, the tractor will be used more for TLB work. After I get the addition built & property where I want it, I would probably be better served w/ a compact tractor. I assume all standard category I implements. Is the PTO live?

The backhoe is New Holland subframe mounted unit. How difficult is it to remove the backhoe?

Thanks.

They are very competitive as far as size just the ford is a little older and just a little shy on all the spec's when comparing the two.
