I recently built a house on 10 acres of land (approx. 9 acres open and 1 acre wooded). The land rolls and slopes in places. I am currently shopping around for a tractor. I would like to be able to use a snowblower (I have a 300-400ft driveway sloping uphill), front loader, mid mower and rotary cutter (I plan on fine cutting about 2 acres and brush cutting the rest), posthole digger (rent or buy), and tiller. I have narrowed the candidates down to a JD 4115 or a Kubota B7500. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions as to which tractor seems best.

I purchased a 4110 with fel/61" material bucket. It paid for its self last weekend with 28 inches of snow. (normal snow fall is aroud 6 inches yearly) Man or Man I love it. have 24 hours on it and counting. Not one bit of trouble. Bucket goes on and off in 3 minutes just like JD says. Have a front plow but could not move the snow any further to the sides. SO the big guns came out. Cleaned 5 other neighbors lanes out also. Done my good deeds for awhile. Only cut grass twice before Winter. It did great on grass. Dug out a base for a Greenhouse 14X9, 6 inches deep. Like butter. Highly recomend thsi model. Great turning, moving, close quarters, etc. The 4115 is a little longer with a couple more HP. I did not think it important for the $$. Good luck ....

If you've narrowed it down between those two, I like the JD4115. For similar money as the JD, I would think you could get a B7800, then it would be a tough one.
Good Luck
