Intro and looking for info on purchase

[homing]

New member from Texas looking to research/buy a compact or sub-compact Tractor with FEL, box blade and mower. Undecided on brand, but looking at Kubota, JD and all the others. Leaning towards JD right now, either 1025R or 2025R.

Highly recommend LS J2023. LS has been making tractors for New Holland & many other brands for a long time. They started selling under their own name in 2009. Do some research for comparison. There is a large LS dealer in Texas, don't know how close they are to you but, the name is RCO.

Tell us what you will use your tractor for. Is mowing a lawn your key task?

Tell us about your land.

Will anyone other than yourself operate the tractor?

Have you used the search box to pull up threads from the archive?

Enter: 1025R, separately 2025R. Dozens, perhaps hundreds of germane threads will pop up.

Jeff9366, will be using it to mow 6 acres, some light landscaping, and improving the land/yard. I will most likely be the only one using the tractor. Rented a JD 3032 last weekend and it seems a bit too big for what I need.

But, not sure if the JD 1025R is big enough.

Antlers125, yes, RCO is close. Do you have experience with LS tractors? J2023 may work for me. But trying to do my due diligence.
