Hey Everyone - brand new to the forum after doing some research into tractors. My wife and I recently purchased a 15 acre spot in the Texas hill country and we're looking for our first ever tractor. I've done quite a bit of research and am leaning towards a Kubota (we have a couple of dealers in the area that seem pretty good). However, I'm having a real tough time figuring out what size tractor we need. We have a small nubian goat herd that will grow to 15-20 or so and then we plan on getting a couple of horses as well (would love a couple of longhorns but that probably won't happen any time soon). Most of our chores will be bush hogging some open areas and under our larger oak trees, pulling out cedar stumps, and mainting our gravel driveway. I think the L series Kubota should be able to handle almost everything we need outside of possibly needing to move round bales in the future. Anyways, would love some insight from you guys or if there are resources handy that you could point me to that would be great as well. Thanks!

Welcome to the ward! :D I'm about 25 miles SW of San Antonio--Well out of the Hill Country but just as rugged in some areas. Have fun with your new country life. It's never been a second thought for me. :thumbsup:

Spiced is beautiful year 'round! Hope you got rain last weekend!

Any luck with your tractor search? Have you looked at Reid's in Leander? They are a Mahindra dealer.
