Thanks for all your replies - very useful information. I think I am set on the Deere after driving both Deere and Kubota. After seeing the FEL removal demo and using twin touch hydro pedals - I was sold on the Deere. Couple more questions - I presently have a 16 HP 52" commercial walk behind mower that cuts beautifully. I was thinking of selling it and getting the 54" deck with the DEERE - just to have one pc of equip. that does everything. But the 54" deck is about $1500 and wonder if I should just get the tractor for the bucket and rear blade work? I also have a lot of leaves and was thinking about a trac vac some day that will probably work well with the Tractor.
Last question - You guys made some good points about tires. I can't decide between Turf or R4. If I decide to cut with the tractor - will the R4 kill my lawn and if I do a lot of work in the woods with stone fences - will the turfs not hold up? Decisions, decisions.
THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK!

First of all - love this web site. Thanks Dr. Nek. I need some help! I finally have the wife letting me at least think about a compact tractor. We have 11 heavily wooded acres and a 300yrd crushed stone driveway. I am a big JD fan - stock holder for 10 years and we had their tractors growing up. I have a ton of bucket work to do - crushed stone, mulch, heavy rocks from an old stone fence and topsoil to move and grade. I also have to maintain the driveway. I have looked and driven the B7500, 4100, and the new 4110 - all hst. The 4100 has some good closeout deals right now but still does not bring it down to the price of a kubota B7500. I also got a price on the new 18.5 HP 4010 - very competitive but I think I may kick myself later becuase of horsepower (14 PTO). SO, do I go green or go for orange for a couple of thousand less? Do I go for the new Deere's 4110 with the new bells and wistles? I am looking to get a front bucket (410), rear blade and maybe 54" belly mount(my wife thinks I will look foolish cutting less than an acre with a compact tractor!) By the way is the deere 54" mower on a compact a clean cutting grooming mower? Thanks for your help!
