- Kubota B2910
OK I am thinking upsizing to a TC40. I currently have a Kubota B2910 with loader and 72" belly mower which pretty much does what I want with a few exceptions (I will discuss below). I am looking at a used TC40 with loader, 7 1/2' mid-mount mower, and brush hog. The unit only has 170 hours and the price seems fair. The main reason I am looking at upsizing is due to my small side-business of grass seeding. I have two grass seeders a Land Pride OS1548 overseeder and a Land Pride PS1572. The OS1548 is very heavy and seems to max out my little B2910 especially if seeding uphill (can bog down the motor when seeding). It also feels alittle scary when working on any slopes or uneven terrain. The PS1572 does not seem to tax the tractor as much. The Kubota also serves as my lawn mower as well and does a fairly good job. It also performs most other jobs around the house just fine - I have 5 acres and mow about 2 1/2 acres, have some timber and some slopes to brush hog every few years. Opinions needed...
A few specific questions:
*What is the height of the TC40 with the ROPS tilted down? - need to get this tractor in my garage with 9x7 doors.
*How does this tractor serve as a primary lawn mower? It has a large mower deck - does it work well? Is this too heavy tractor to use for regular mowing?
*Does the loader on this tractor come standard with skid steer style disconnect for bucket?
*Do the loader arms remove easily?
*Can this tractor be transported easily by a GMC1500 truck with 14000GVW trailer? I know the truck is the weak link here, but just wanted some thoughts on this.
*Can you easily add extra hydraulics (rear) to this unit?
Sorry for so many questions, but I appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Troy
