I own a Cub 7260. For me personally, I opted for the heavier tractor because I was interested in the loader capacity. In my case, 1100 lb full lift. When lifting 1/2 ton loads, you definitely want weight in a tractor.<br>Also, the 26 hp is plenty (note mine is a gear tractor) for the 2550lb tractor with loader with midmower all attached.

I own a Cub 7260; however, I looked at the B2100, the JD4100 and TC21 when I was in the shopping stage.<br>These tractor models are all great and evenly matched (probably not what you want to hear as advice). It will come to personal tastes, dealer friendliness, etc.<br>Oh yes, they are well suited for the 5 acres and plowing you describe.<br>

I've re-read my posts. Still feel they are valid.<br>One of the basic decisions (among many) any potential tractor owner needs to make is the basic tractor size. For example, I own a Cub 7260. I looked at the Kubota B series then skipped them for L series because of the basic tractor size.<br>They are all fine tractors including your B2710.<br>

I own a Cub 7260 w/R4s, 417 loader and 60

Currently have 95 hours, about half of these are digging and moving piles
(earth, gravel, mulch, etc).
I am VERY pleased with the Cub tractor and 417 loader. It handles 1/2 ton
bucket loads easily. The loader goes on and off easily. The tractor itself
is very well made and feels solid. I have no regrets at all.

Great tractor but price is high! The 7235 is hydro. Also, I believe Cub last made these in 1997.<br>I have a 1998 Cub 7260 (26hp, gear). I bought it Jan 99.<br>I paid $17,900 for tractor w/R4s and rear light, 417 Loader, 60

I own a cub 7260. The cub tractor line is solid and well made.<br>The tractor itself is by Mitsubishi, the loader and deck by Woods.<br>Not sure about the backhoe.<br>I would expect the newer version of this combo (7200) would cost<br>around $18,000. Check into warranty issues (new would give 2 years).

I'm sure you have the spec sheets for the tractors you mentioned;<br>however, you need to first and foremost settle on the basic tractor<br>size. This is a fundamental personal decision you must make.<br>A 2600 lb tractor

Also, in recent years manufacturers have been packing smaller tractors
with larger hp engines. Don't assume this is always good. Just
a trend for the yuppies.
Tractor sizes (weights) need to be matched to engine hp. A 1700 lb Kubota will not
match a 2600 lb JD, especially when you are using a loader, or 3 point
implements. Heavier earth work requires a heavier tractor.

I own a 7260. The 7360 is the newest and largest of the Cub line<br>(at this time). My 7260 is one tough tractor. I would imagine the<br>7360 is heavier and has higher specs all around.<br>You will find this Cub tractor line has been around for many years.<br>In recent years, increases in hp and standardizing on only gear<br>or hydro has been the trend.<br><br>

I own a Cub 7260. During my buying I looked at the smaller<br>models you mentioned, the JD4100, the KB 1700, 7300, 2100 etc.<br>You may want to investigate the Cub 7025. In terms of size,<br>it is between the Kubota B series and L series (weights about<br>2000 lbs), similar to JD 770/790.<br>The stats for this size Cub are as good if not better than the<br>ones you are considering.<br>The hydraulics are great. You can run your loader, middeck, and rear lift all<br>at the same time. The loader, if similar to mine, comes on and<br>off in less than 5 minutes.<br>Check it out, maybe the machine you need, small but heavyduty.<br><br><br>

I own a Cub 7260 (26 hp) that I bought in Jan 99.

I own a 1998 Cub 7260 (gear, 4wd, 26 hp, 23.5 hp at pto). This model<br>replaced the 7274 (26 hp engine in place of 27). <br>Very solid, sturdy machine. I would do it again.

The cub tractor line has remained basically constant over the<br>past six or seven years (whenever Cub took it over from Case IH).<br>I view this as a plus in terms of replacement parts and service<br>support. Also, you can be assured the basic tractor design has<br>been field tested for a good many years.<br>Biggest changes I have noticed from one year to another (at <br>least within the past two or three years I've been keeping track)<br>seems to be slight changes to engines (increasing HP), and a<br>standardizing on 4wd only. <br>
