OK Come on guys WHICH TRACTOR ???

[Soundguy]

I'm partial to blue.. but from what you've said.. I'd drive each machine and see what warm fuzzy feelings developed, and then talk to each dealer real good, and see how they strike you.

Figure in haul distance to from a dealer ( the best one.. etc. )

let those options make up your mind, as the machines you listed are probably all winners mechanically.

Jay,


Yes it will handle it if I get to it SOON I am probably going with New Holland! Both the Massey and the NEW Holland are both good dealers! The Massey and the New Holland
New Holland has exactly the setup I want. The Massey dealer has to order the loader. The 0 % financing for 60 months is hard to beat!

Jay,

Here are the comparisons, (the new specs on the Kubota is actually heavier 1322 with ROPS). I am having trouble "justifying" the New Holland over the Kubota (same dealer and a good one) @ 1,000 dollars less! Dealer says the difference is in the rear end, CAST IRON assembly and "bull" gears on the NH TZ-25 vs. Cast ALUMINUM housing and Planetary gears on Kubota BX2350?
He says it is worth the diference (salesman )

Kubota has 42 months vs 60 on 0%, but $1,000 dollars lesds is huge!

thanks,

Dick

Spec wise, I think the BX2660 is a better comparison to the TZ25 than the BX2350.

DGL,
which specs, the Kubota weighs more on the new specs. I guess the qustion is, what can the New Holland do for me, that the Kubota will not do?

I think it might Lift more in the bucket, but the New Holland site does not give detailed loader specs like the Kubota site!


Thanks,

Dick

Hmm.. search the kubota forum.. there was a thread a here a while back with a guy with a cast rear end on a kubota that was ripped out / cracked up..

not sure of the model..

( I know i don't wan't cast aluminum frame on any of my tractors... might as well be composite and plastic / fiberglass.. )

This where the companies start to skew the "data" with the Sales & Marketing influence. I do like all that glossy literature :

The hyraulics for a NH TZ-25:

Pump Capacity: 3.9gpm
Power Steering: 1.9gpm
= 6.2 vs. 6.9 for the Kubota where they probably combined both capacities.

I agree with Soundguy as to cast iron vs. aluminum.

You should really sit on both, operate both as much as the dealer will allow, and really go with your "feel"; both are good tractors.

Good luck and keep us in the loop.
