BP...what are your basic uses. I like nimble but keep getting drawn to larger...seems like I may want to push down a bunch of trees

Am interested in what you use your tractor for? Thanks...TMR

The first and primary task is our produce farming. The heavier the tractor, the more compaction there is of the soil, so that was a primary concern, along with overall width and length. The Kubota Bs, regardless of series have great, great ground clearance, which might be "best in class" and that was a major plus.

Next would be more normal chores, like firewood gathering, drive maintenance, mowing with RFM, and absolutely snow clearing, where the lack of over all weight is a negative. The B2630 would do very nicely, most of my chores. It is the premium tractor, (with the higher price tag) whereas my 20 series is a more budget minded machine.

I just got a quote today on a B3200 with FEL at about 18k. If that helps any.

I can't comment on the price as I live 'up north' but even at that it seems reasonable. As for the tractor I considered the premium features came with a every premium price. Too much for me so I went with the 3200 and am very happy. If extendable arms are a big deal for you then buy them and put them on a standard B and keep thousands $$$$ in the pocket.
