I'm struggling with a decision on HP. Currently I have a Kubota B7610 and have put 200 hours on it over the last couple years. Looking to replace it. It has been immensely helpful for projects from planting grass to building a pole barn. I have 6 acres, mostly wooded, and have yet to use the PTO for anything. The most non jerry rigged implement I have is my york rake. My driveway is 1000 feet long, currently still only #3 gravel from construction days. I'll be putting down 4 or 5 trucks of 21a and buying a box blade and maybe a landplane.
That said, I don't see any new big projects on my property. It will be used 50% for driveway maintenance and 50% for random tasks. Carrying things, some grapple work to clean up my woods, ect. I'll have a grapple and forks. I know I want 3rd function on the front and triple rear remotes. I had been leaning toward the L3901. I do have some concerns with the long-term reliability of the emission stuff, and I don't know if the extra power would benefit me, over the L2501. I am not set on Orange, but in its class, I like the 3 speed hydro and skid steer QA. Thoughts??
