Buying Advice Kubota 2920

[Al Mac]

I am looking for info and sizing for a new tractor.

As the MF1020 Hydro works well I am running a little short on HP in heavy going. I cut 8 acres of grass and in the spring growing season the 1020 is working hard. Also in the winter I have 14,000 sq feet of snow to blow (over 500 foot drive and parking area). Here in the east side of Canada we get lots of snow. The 1020 has been keeping up for 10 years now but as I was at the dealer (getting parts) I was looking at the new Kubota's. I know that was my first mistake.

The owner/sales priced up a 2920 he has with a loader and would put turf tires on it, MMM -60", and 6 foot puma blower. I never had a loader and would think it would be handy.

Question, are these good units, would this be a good size, should I be looking at a another size for the best bang for the buck.

I had a 2920 and it was outstanding. It has plenty of power, so you will run out of traction long before power is an issue. For mowing 8 acres, I almost think you should go a little bigger, especially if operating in wide open spaces most of the time. I'd probably want something like an L with a wider rear mower, so you can get done mowing quicker. A 60" mid mower seems small for 8 acres.

Sorry. New to the forum way. Don't know how to remove it.
This was to go into the Kubota section.

Will post it on that section.
