What models should i be looking at
Kubota Tractors
Replies 18 Post by mongrelcat

i see mostly Deeres in my area.
and the Kubota is a L540HST, sorry i posted it wrong.

i'm also looking at the Deere and Kubota official sites, trying to find the specs on the backhoe and loader attachments but i can't find anything.

My company has intimated they "prefer" i do all this research online rather than talk to the dealers in my area. They consider that a waste of time.

Hence a lot of what i consider stupid question by me here. Again, sorry if I sound like a moron, but I kind of am, since I've never ridden a tractor in my life and learned all i know about tractors in the past three weeks.

Next question: why would one choose a 4WD over a 2? Since my land is very hilly and rocky, I'm figuring I need a 4WD. One neighbor told me I don't need a 4, because it will slow the tractor down. Another one told me get the 4WD because if I ever do need it, I'll be glad I have it.

So let me recap:
I've got 230 acres, hilly, rocky and wooded and swampy in parts.
I need the backhoe to dig hole to build fences because there are so many rocks, a posthole digger will take too long.
Eventually, I hope to plant hay, so I'll then need a rotary cutter and tiller, then a tiner and baler (am i correct?)
And what we're doing with the property is providing permanent homes for rescued and rehabilitated animals.

thanks everyone for putting up with me and being so helpful!!!

wow lots of good, quick replies.
thanks everyone for the good information.

i'm well set to move a bit forward on this.

i'm sure I'll have more questions.

all we'll be using the backhoe for, as far as i know yet, is to dig holes for posts. the ground here is more rocks than dirt. it didn't make sense to even try to start this project with just an augur.

thanks again
