Looking at buying a Massey Ferguson 1825e or Kubota LX2610

[EricW]

First I have heard of it being Kioti specific. I know everyone was supposedly having issues at one point. I needed a couple small parts on my 1626 at 900 and 1030 hours. After a couple phone calls, I was able to locate bother parts and had them in a couple of days.

Good to know.

I put the order in today for the Massey Ferguson 1825e. I added the 3rd function, rear remote, and a Woods Tiller. I'm really excited to get the new tractor. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait a till the hydraulics to come in, but I believe the dealership hopes to deliver it on Wednesday. Now I need to figure out what grapple to order. I'm thinking the 55" EA Wicked Root Rake Grapple or the EA Root Grapple. I am so torn on why style grapple is my best option.

Congratulations!!!

Please post some pictures when you get it! I’m sure you’ll really enjoy the new 1825E tractor!

I can’t help on the grapple (I use pallet forks) but, I’m sure some folks will chime in with suggestions.

Get the EA 55 Wicked(er).

It's not even a contest. And it's on 'sale'. Which very seldom happens.

Downside is the wait. But it goes faster than you think. By early Spring, you'll be ready to Rock n' Roll.

Hello all, I'm looking at upgrading from my Massey Ferguson GC2300 to a larger tractor. I love the GC but I really want to get a grapple and rear remote and putting a lot of money into the little GC doesn't seem like the best choice. I see a lot of videos on the Kubota YouTube, so I feel pretty confident that it's a good tractor. I don't see nearly as many from 1825e owners so I am hoping someone here might have some personal experience with one.

I will primarily use the tractor working in the yard around my house. I live on 6 acres, and I'm always using my loader on my GC. I have a Ferris zero turn, so I won't be mowing with the new tractor. I might get a tiller someday, other than that I don't think I'll do any other PTO work. I do use a box blade, small 5 ft disk harrow, and a landscape rake.

I have also looked at the new Summit tractor and liked it a lot, but I'm too nervous to purchase from such a new company. I also looked at the New Holland but it really didn't seem like it was in the same league as the MF or Kubota. The NH dealer is also a Bobcat dealer, they didn't have the 25hp model, but the larger Bobcat looked pretty nice. I didn't get to try it out because the battery was dead.

If anyone would like to chime in with their personal experience it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

BTW, I'm partial to Massey but I'm open to other brands. Here's my current fleet

1945 John Deere A
1952 Farmall Cub
1954 JI Case SC
1968 Massey Ferguson 130
2005 Massey Ferguson GC2300
2006 Cub Cadet 1527
2006 (I think) John Deere x300
2021 Ferris isx800

Eric with all those tractors why do you need another one?

Cahaba,

Need might not be the proper term, I would be fine without getting a new one but I really would like to have the SSQA bucket with a 3rd function and rear hydraulics. It will make my work around the property so much easier.

Here’s my new tractor!
