Tractor for 5 Acres

Al,

Look at the L2800 link (in my forst post above) under Attachments. The loader is desribed as a quick-attach design, but you would need to see it done to decide for yourself. I don't have one, I'm just a professional shopper at the moment. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I appreciate your opinion on the kubota line. There is a local here w/ a MF 2340, he claims 28hp, for sale @9500. 4wd, but no fel. Almost new (47hrs). Does anyone know anything about this one?

AlYoung: You may want to check out the Kioti LK3054XS. I'm not sure if you can make it under $15k, but perhaps. Might want to post on the Kioti page, as there are several guys in Fla. with Kiotis and you may be able to get some ideas on dealers and prices. I have an earlier model LK3054 with a Rhino FEL & BH that I just got for $19k, so the $15k range does not seem too unreasonable without the BH.

AlYoung......palmettos huh.... I was thinking you were in the central portion of the state. You may want to seek out KiotiJohn, he's in Jville and would probably have some good dealer info as well as tractor prices in that region. We've had some good discussions on the Kioti's... there just ain't a dealer close to me without driving 2-3 hours.

Alyoung,
I agree with To20Chris, but then I am biased. Do check out the LK3054XS. I just purchased one with TLB and box scraper for $20,000. I know the BH is not cheap. You could be around $15,000 but not sure. It is 30 HP and from my limited usage it has been great. Looking forward to a couple hours of seat time tonight. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Poncho,
Thanks for the info. I live outside Jacksonville, so that will be easy. I don't pretend to know anything about kioti, except that it is made in Korea.

Lab,
What is TLB? I am not familiar w/ that acronym.

Might take a look at Power Trac at www.power-trac.com. The PT425 or PT1430 might be just what you need. They work well for us.

Good luck,

i think any cut should be 4 wd, as most will tell u, u run out of traction before u run out of power, and not having 4wd just makes it worse.
