I had a John Deere 318 mower for many years. After moving to 8 acres of woods with a significant hells I wanted to upgrade to something with 4 wheel drive and a front loader. I bought a Kubota BX24 with a loader and a backhoe, just because the backhoe looked so darned cute on the back. At the time they were the only ones with a backhoe on that size tractor. Never regretted it.
