Hello all, I am new to these forums and wanted some input reguarding the Kubota B3030. I am a residential remodeling contractor and do mostly interrior work, but do pleanty of jobs a tractor is highly appealing for (building additions occasionally, digging posts, and moving material or dirt/gravel and about a million other things I can think of. I will be building a house soon and wanted a vary versitle machine to help me with this treck, run long runs for utilities (around 1000 feet total), install a septic system, run drainage, install a pole barn, and install a LONG driveway (gravel now but later cement). Most of the lot is wooded, so running utilities and much brush hogging will have to be done around trees. Also when this is finished lawn and driveway maintaince will be done with the machine, as well as snow removal. We have a Kubota and John Deere dealerships here in town so I would like to go with one of those for parts availabily and service if needed.
I am trying to take my time in picking the perfect machine, but am worried about size issues. Most of my construction work is done in the town so lots are usually around 60' X 100', and a MMM would be nice to cut grass with. I thought I had it narrowed down to a Kubota B3030 for it's good mixture of size and power, but now am not sure when reading other threads.
So I suppose my question is is the B3030 to small for what I would like to do with it? I looked at the Kubota Grand L3540 and would love to get that but is that too big for wooded work, small lot work, and mowing? And the final question: am I being too hard to please and am actually in need of 2 different machines here? Your input here would be greatly appreciated.
