Kubota L2501 & Scag Turf Tiger II
Hello all. I have been soaking up as much information here as I can. I have lived west of Austin on 18 ac for the last 25 years. I come from a background in construction, building streets, underground utilities, and drainage. I have always had backhoes, loaders, a dozers at my disposal for projects on my property. Last year we closed shop (good terms) and sold everything except a Volvo L70D loader (2.5 CY). I have decided that the Volvo it is too big and heavy for just moving mulch, brush, etc. and I think I have it sold already. I am looking for a smaller tractor, 40 - 60 HP, with FEL, forks, and maybe a few attachments. I have Kubota, JD, and LS dealers within 20 mi. Kioti, MF, and others are 50+. The LS dealer seems very personable and has good reviews on the internet. I haven't visited the other two yet. I recently replaced an 18 year old Exmark 72" ZTR with a Scag Turf Tiger II, so mowing is not one of the reasons I am looking for a tractor. It's quite possible that I may determine that a larger in the compact range tractor will accomplish all of my needs since my property is already fairly well manicured.

Welcome! I've heard good things about the LS dealer NW of Austin.

I have no experience with their tractors.

It sounds to me that you are used to heavy duty equipment, so look close at what you buy and see if it's heavy enough for your use.

Are you near Dripping Springs? Wimberley? Salt Lick?

Best of luck. You might drop a question into the respective brand forums if you have any.
