New Tractor Questions

   / New Tractor Questions #21  
When we were looking, once we decided on Kubota, we were comparing the BX25, B2920, and B7800. All were about the same price, but the BX25 included the BH. The choice to go to the B was driven more by the rougher condition of the other property for which I wanted more ground clearance and the more capability. The other things I liked about the B was the 3 speed hst, the real tach, the fact that the HP comes from a bigger engine, not more RPM and in general, I just liked its size and feel better. With that said, there certainly seems to be a lot of happy BX owners out there.

As far as knowing more than most of the sales people, unfortunately that is not a very high hurdle.

All of the same reasons I went with the B series. I could have got the BX with the TLB a lot cheaper, but it did not suit me.

Ok, finally have been looking and looking at Tractors the last several weeks. After all of the looking I think I have decided against the sub-compact tractor idea. I beleive my money will be better spent getting a good used 60Hp 4X4 with loader and staying with a dedicated mower for the yard. I have been searching for a fair deal and so far I can find nothing local but have found what I beleive to be a good deal several hours away. I have found a 2001 Zetor 4341 4X4 with loader with 312 hours. According to Tractordata.com this tractor has 56 PTO HP, which will be enough to do anything I could ever imagine on my property. The loader is quick connect and looking at the pictures and talking to the dealer, it seems to be in like new condition. It is a one owner tractor owned by an older gentlemen with medical problems that just traded it in on a similar tractor with a Cab. I know a couple of guys around me that have Zetor tractors and talk good about them, but have no experience with them other than briefly driving one around while helping with hay. I can get this tractor delivered for less than the new sub-compacts I have been looking at and with all the searching I have done I cannot find anything else with this size and HP for anywhere close to this price. My main purpose is to brush hog steep and flat land and think this tractor will pull an 8' brush hog. I may eventually get into cutting hay. Thought I would get the advice of you experts. Thanks for any advice/suggestions.
