Hey all, first time caller. long time listener, love the forum.
To be brief,
Requirements: must have a cab & hydro tranny.
Jobs: mow (brush hog) ~120 acres, move some dirt and locust trees, and grade/level a couple acres. Would like to pull a 8-10' medium to heavy brush hog. Most likely need/want 3rd option for a grapple.
Kioti Tractors:
DK45SE HST Cab w/ loader: $30,000
DK50SE HST Cab w/ loader: $32,500, $33,000
DK55SE Shuttle Cab w/ loader: $33,695
Those are cash quotes w/o tax. Threw in the 55 b/c I know I could the HP, but not an option unfortunately. Seems like a good price compared to others though.
Dealer also offered the new NX510 or 5010? for $33,500 but declined out of Tier4 concerns.
This is my first tractor ever! I'm not sure how big a brush cutter I can safely and effectively pull with 45-50HP tractor, but the bigger the better for 120 acres, right? Mostly pasture, but some areas with thicker woody weeds and a 40 acre hillside with a 15-20% slope. Any input on purchase prices or mowing situation appreciated. Thanks guys.
