- John Deere 160 (1988), Arctic Cat 400 ATV (2006), Kubota BX23S (2018), Jacobsen Super Chief 1450 (1969), Cub Cadet RZT S50 zero turn mower (2012)
I went looking for reviews on these tractors, but found nothing. Can anyone shed a bit of information on them ? Forklift attachment with lift capacity of 1000 lbs is needed for the honey / beekeeping. Kyoti engines... the McCormick's seemed like a reasonable option for us.
My cousin is a high end tractor dealer (european stuff) but he also carries the McCormicks and Masseys in the smaller hp that I am looking for. I would love to support his business, it is 5 hrs away from me. There is a Kyoti dealer an hr away also, local repair guy might take it on as needed also. biggest concern that I have is that parts / shipping take a long time
I have been leaning on the Kubota BX 25 or the B3030 thus far, and have considered similar John Deeres also. (dealers are about an hr away)
Small acreage, bit of slope, want to level areas, and put fencing in etc. looking at 25 - 30 hp tractors
because I need walk through deck and hydrostatic trans (easiest for my mobility restrictions) the cheaper, older, used tractors generally won't suit us.
thanks for McCormick insight - your :2cents: appreciated, other ideas
