I am perplexed and need a little bit of help. I am looking for a Compact Tractor around 25hp. I will need a Front Loader, 60" to 72" Mid Mount Finish Mower, Rotary Cutter, and the capabilities of a Backhoe in the future. I have looked at both NH and JD and can't see any major differences. Any help would be appreciated.
TC25D VS JD4200

ecarlson, so you've looked at the New Holland, and the John Deere; now go look at a Kubota, too. And don't just look, get the dealers to let you try out each one. We've all got our personal preferences, but they're all 3 good machines. Find the one that feels best to you and you probably can't go wrong. It seems that finding a dealer you can work with is more important than the brand of the tractor. Now that said, I'll bet after you try them all three, you'll want the Kubota like I did./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif At least that comment will get you some more opinions./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

There are many really nice compact tractors available, but be sure you can get an appropriate backhoe for the model you are interested in. There are a few models that have an aluminim housing that will not allow use of a backhoe, and the hydraulic flow rate requirements are higher than many compact tractors. If you were interested in buying it all at the same time Kubota has a really neat B21 that has both a heavy duty loader and backhoe build on a heavy subframe. It also has a conventional 3 point and comes with a nice 4 support canopy. Kinda one of a kind tractor that is small yet powerful./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
