Topic

To give you more information....I have ruled out the 3710 since the dealer I talked to had the pricing wrong. I am only looking at the TC29/33D NH and the Kubota L3130. The John Deere 4210 got eliminated after I drove it. The pause when you depress the HST pedal drove me nuts.

Anyway, I am a little alarmed by the one post that said neither machine will be a good mowing machine. Or something like that. Let me tell you what I want to do with the tractor.

I have 10 acres of land in upstate ny. Somewhat hilly terrain. I want one tractor to do the following. Finish mow one acre of land around my house. I also want to put the mower up and mow 6 acres of my land. It is old hayfield so there is nothing that should damage the blades. All the dealers that I have talked to said the new mower decks will do what I want. Lastly I want a front 4 way angle plow. Not a bucket(maybe some other day) but a bulldozer like snowblade. I want to do some light dirt moving also.

I started looking at the smaller tractors since they were in my price range. But being 6-3 and 295lbs, I quickly outgrew them.

My observations are, John Deere comes in third. Love Kioti but they don't have the HST models at different sizes like the big three. The NH fits me the best. I can sit on that and feel comfortable. The L3130 Kubota is a great machine and probably the one I am leaning toward. The only problem I have is the local dealer doesn't move much on price. Although after looking at this forum I emailed Emerich in Albany NY and got a great price. The Kubota appears to be bigger but I do like the slope nose of the NH since I can see the snow blade better.

My question is, are the 72 inch belly mowers going to be over kill for my 1 arce of finish mowing? I really wanted to stay away from rear mount machines. The NH can have a 5 foot mower on it, would that be a better choice? Will it stick out of the wheels or is it too small?

Thanks for all your help so far. This forum has really educated me.
