looking at a scut for 2.6 acres

Well cost is a factor, how much of a difference in price from a b2301 to a bx2380

Don't know much about Kubota's, I'm sure someone will answer that for you..

If budget is your MAIN limiting factor, get the biggest tractor you can afford.

Every step up in size & HP comes at a price. Your dealer should be able to give you some quotes to consider for any machines you are considering.

Then, it will be an easy decision based on budget.

no options about 2k. go to Kubota website and you can build them and see. By going kubota or JD your going to pay 20-30% more for those brands if cost is a factor. Other thing is if your looking to spend around 15k, lots of used low hours models as well.

the dealers I have local to me are kubota deer mahindra massey and new holland, if I go out a lot farther I am pretty sure I can get kioti and ls. the kubota dealer I am looking at is not the closest but they have had the best service by far when I bought my chainsaw and just browsing.

I would consider a massey, but don't know a lot about them. the prices I have gotten quoted from all the dealers are pretty much the same when it comes to scuts with deere being super high and kubota maybe being 1000-500 dollars more for a comparable kioti.

Take a look at all of them and see. What you get in terms of packages and such and each dealer will be different. When I got quotes on tractors Kubota was about 19% more than a kioti, and about 38% more than an LS or TYM(RK,branson) branded tractor. Service does matter, what can you do on your own, the guys an hour away will they get your stuff, all questions to ask. Great tractors but for my use wasnt spending the coin on their paint.

Mahindra and massey will be cheaper than kubota but not remarkably cheaper. Can also look and ask dealers for demo tractors on sale, and then check craigs and facebook to buy implements cheaper as well.

That bx2380 is all of 15k with a mower maybe a little less. I could get the Kioti 2510 probably for around 17 with a mower.


I think the biggest mistake in buying anything is saying I can only spend x dollar on something and then going to the first dealer and being fixated on the first model that fits the budget, and this goes for anything. Set your budget and then check out all the options out there, sometimes bigger is cheaper as in initial price is more but options are less to add.

I went with an MMM due to not having much room in some places to turn around. If you have the room, go with a trailing mower. Less costly and easier to install and remove. My MMM isn't real difficult to move to put on and take off, but it takes some elbow grease.

North American HQ for LS Tractors isn't too far from you.

understood, Im looking at 13 for a 18 with loader and mmm and a 145 for a 23 with the same options. I see massesy for about 115 but they want 2500 for their mower. I didn't even ask deere.

I would consider a massey, but don't know a lot about them.

Take the time to look at one, they as good or better than all the others..
