Topic

just purchased home.2.5 acres.about.75 acres landscaped with trees and evergreens to mow.the rest is wooded.have 90 ft. double wide driveway to keep clear of snow.want to keep at least 20yds x 300ft of the woods cleared and mowed.back yard and woods are sloped i guess on a 20% grade(not sure on how to figure percentage of grade).have two brush piles in woods of felled trees,etc.that were left over from previous owner who had same amount of woods brushhogged in the past.would like to clean these piles up,cut and haul wood,maybe start a small garden.90% of the time will be mowing.at frist was looking at jd300 series tractor then decided needed more rugged tractor and looked at the 400 series.as i started talking to dealers and reading these forums i am now looking at kubota bx series because 4wd may be better in the hilly rugged terain of the woods.i also looked at the availabiliy of 3pt hitch on the bx.i'm thinking i may be able to save some money on used implements vs. dedicated implements on the jd 400 series.i would like to know if you think the bx is big enough?can't go too big because need mauneverability.will the bx handle tiller? some have suggested a walk behind tiller but i have bad legs and can't see my wife doin'it.also wandering what yor thoughts are new vs. used implements?some of the implements seemed prety steep to me.also i may add kubota has a awsome finance plan at 6.75%.is the bx the tractor for me? is the jd400 series an option considering the avantages of the kubota?or should i be thinking of a bigger tractor even if i have to sell the wife and kids to get the money?also thought may even want loader in the future if the wife and kids sell for a good price.thanks.
