Vineyard tractors and Kubota

Hello, this is my first post. I am in the process of building out a vineyard. I have never operated a tractor in my life. This spring a couple growers and local farmer helped me get a 1/2 acre in the ground. However, I just bought 2 more acres and want to start investigating what would work best for me.

My rows are 8' apart, and my terrain has a marginal slope. so I don't think I need a specialized vineyard tractor. I need it to bush hig, mow between rows and I also need a 12" auger attachment and some sort of scoop to clear small brush, etc.. Ideally I'd also need something to deep till the ground with as well. Oh yes, and I need to use it to spray, so a closed cabin is not required, but perhaps an otion for it, would be great.

I plan on growing my vineyard to maybe 5-10 acres in a couple years...so I'd the tractor to work with me at least that long.

Any vineyard owners out there? I was thinking of the Kubota L3010?

I know nothing about tractors, so perhaps some thoughts on requirements, or just general thoughts on options or "must haves". I live in North Carolina, so the ground is a hard red clay...

Thanks so much!

How about a 3430 with the factory cab for spraying. The extra horsepower would help to run a flail mower. ....
