Hello guys,
This is my very first post. I do not claim to know a lot about tractors at all. I have been browsing these forums for a while and decided it was time to ask some questions, there seems to be a lot of knowledge on this website. I live on about 700 acres of semi hilly/flat land in East Tx. I have access to a 90hp JD and a 95hp Case anytime I want, but I'm ready to get a tractor of my own. What I would like to be able to do is maintain a caliche driveway, mow some of the pasture outside of my yard between 15-20 acres, move dirt, run a rotary tiller, and possibly get a finish mower to mow my yard. I have recently come across a deal on a 2003 Kubota L3000. It is in immaculate shape with 236 hrs. It comes with a FEL, 5' KK Bush Hog, 5' Box Blade, Hay Forks and a Spear. He is asking $11,500 for all of it. Does this seem like a reasonable price? I like everything about it, but the low hp is really concerning to me. Is it just in my head that this thing is nothing more than a Garden Tractor on steroids or can I really use this thing to brush hog..etc. Part of me thinks I'm making too big a deal of the hp, because all I can really compare it to are the two tractors I mentioned above and I know that is comparing apples to oranges. I guess I'd like to hear all opinions on this tractor, what it can do, what it cant do, how does the price sound,how much weight can the FEL lift, with the things I listed as wanting to be able to do..will it do those things?
thank you very much, I look forward to your responses.
