I am considoring a 37hp compact L series Kubota tractor. I am not planning on using the pto often and mostly will be doing loader work, grading, trying to reclaim woods to pasture. I plan on getting a box scraper. I will have R4 industrial type tires as I want to be able to drive over lawns too without much damage but don't want turf tires either. I want to be able to grade land, pull up rocks/roots/small stumps... The loader will also be used for our manure pile and moving dirt/wood chips/etc around 8 acres.
My question is on the HP of the tractor. Dealers tell me that the HP doesn't really effect loader/hydraulic strength at all and they also seem to tell me pushing/pulling power is mostly based on weight/traction rather than HP. Seems HP is mostly used for PTO or top speed going up hills, etc.. My property is very flat..
So given all this info am I wasting money getting a 37hp L rather than a 25hp one??
